Percona is glad to announce the release of Percona Server 5.5.23-25.3 on May 16, 2012 (Downloads are available here and from the Percona Software Repositories).
Based on MySQL 5.5.23, including all the bug fixes in it, Percona Server 5.5.23-25.3 is now the current stable release in the 5.5 series. All of Percona‘s software is open-source and free, all the details of the release can be found in the 5.5.23-25.3 milestone at Launchpad.
Bugs Fixed:
- Percona Server would crash on a DDL statement if an XtraDB internal SYS_STATS table was corrupted or overwritten. This is now fixed by detecting the corruption and creating a new SYS_STATS table. Bug fixed #978036 (Laurynas Biveinis).
Release notes for Percona Server 5.5.23-25.3 are available in our online documentation.
Any update on when an Ubuntu Precise (12.04 LTS) repo will be available?
@ James
Ubuntu Precise (12.04 LTS) will be officially supported with the next Percona Server releases. Percona Server 5.5.24-26.0 is currently scheduled for release in the first week of June.
Is there a bug in 5.5.23? I get a metadata lock on a large table when I am trying to drop a trigger on it.
