Bugs Fixed

• With innodb_large_prefix set to 1, Blackhole storage engine was incompatible with InnoDB table definitions, thus adding new indexes would cause replication errors on the slave. Fixed #1126 (upstream #53588).
• Intermediary slave with Blackhole storage engine couldn’t record updates from master to its own binary log in case master has binlog_rows_query_log_events option enabled. Bug fixed #1119 (upstream #88057).
• A build error on FreeBSD caused by fixing the bug #255 was present. Bug fixed #2284.
• Server queries that contained JSON special characters and were logged by audit_log plugin in JSON format caused invalid output due to lack of escaping. Bug fixed #1115.
• Compilation warnings fixed in sql_planner.cc  module. Bug fixed #3632 (upstream #77637).
• A memory leak fixed in PFS unit test. Bug fixed #1806 (upstream #89384).
• A GCC 7 warning fix introduced regression in Percona Server for MySQL 5.6.38-83.0 that lead to a wrong SQL query built to access the remote server when Federated storage engine was used. Bug fixed #1134.
