Percona Server for MySQL 5.7.25-28 Is Now Available

Percona is glad to announce the release of Percona Server 5.7.25-28 on February 18, 2019. Downloads are available here and from the Percona Software Repositories.

This release is based on MySQL 5.7.25 and includes all the bug fixes in it. Percona Server 5.7.25-28 is now the current GA (Generally Available) release in the 5.7 series.

All software developed by Percona is open-source and free.

In this release, Percona Server introduces the variable binlog_skip_flush_commands. This variable controls whether or not FLUSH commands are written to the binary log. Setting this variable to ON can help avoid problems in replication. For more information, refer to our documentation.

Bugs fixed

• FLUSH commands written to the binary log could cause errors in case of replication. Bug fixed #1827: (upstream #88720).
• Running LOCK TABLES FOR BACKUP followed by STOP SLAVE SQL_THREAD could block replication preventing it from being restarted normally. Bug fixed #4758.
