Percona ServerPercona is glad to announce the release of Percona Server 5.6.22-72.0 on February 6, 2015. Download the latest version from the Percona web site or from the Percona Software Repositories.

Based on MySQL 5.6.22, including all the bug fixes in it, Percona Server 5.6.22-72.0 is the current GA release in the Percona Server 5.6 series. Percona Server is open-source and free – and this is the latest release of our enhanced, drop-in replacement for MySQL. Complete details of this release can be found in the 5.6.22-72.0 milestone on Launchpad.

New Features:

  • Percona Server is now able to log the query’s response times into separate READ and WRITE INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables. Two new INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables QUERY_RESPONSE_TIME_READ and QUERY_RESPONSE_TIME_WRITE have been implemented for READ and WRITE queries correspondingly.
  • Percona Server now supports Online GTID deployment. This enables GTID to be deployed on existing replication setups without making the master read-only and stopping all the slaves. This feature was ported from the Facebook branch.
  • New ps_tokudb_admin script has been implemented to make the TokuDB storage engine installation easier.

Bugs Fixed:

  • SET STATEMENT ... FOR would crash the server if it could not execute the due to: 1) if the was Read-Write in a Read-Only transaction (bug #1387951), 2) if the needed to re-open an already open temporary table and would fail to do so (bug #1412423), 3) if the needed to commit implicitly the ongoing transaction and the implicit commit would fail (bug #1418049).
  • TokuDB storage engine would fail to load after the upgrade on CentOS 5 and 6. Bug fixed #1413956.
  • Fixed a potential low-probability crash in XtraDB linear read-ahead code. Bug fixed #1417953.
  • Setting the max_statement_time per query had no effect. Bug fixed #1376934.

Other bugs fixed: #1407941, and #1415843 (upstream #75642)
