Percona XtraBackup 2.2.7 is now available

Percona is glad to announce the release of Percona XtraBackup 2.2.7 on December 10, 2014. Downloads are available from our download site or Percona Software Repositories.

Percona XtraBackup enables MySQL backups without blocking user queries, making it ideal for companies with large data sets and mission-critical applications that cannot tolerate long periods of downtime. Offered free as an open source solution, Percona XtraBackup drives down backup costs while providing unique features for MySQL backups.

Bugs Fixed:

• Non-default value for innodb_log_block_size variable would cause assertion when preparing the backup. Bug fixed #1391216.
• When Percona XtraBackup would run FLUSH ENGINE LOGS during the backup process on GTID master, command was recorded to the slave’s binary log as well, which lead to inconsistency between master and slave. Fixed by adding the NO_WRITE_TO_BINLOG clause to FLUSH ENGINE LOGS to avoid interfering with binary log and inconsistency with coordinates. Bug fixed #1394632.
• Exporting tables was inefficient when backup contained a large (and unrelated) change buffer. Bug fixed #1366065 (Davi Arnaut).
• innobackupex was printing the GTID even if the GTID mode was disabled which could cause confusion since it wasn’t incrementing. Now it prints only GTID when GITD mode is enabled and when GTID mode is disabled it prints only filename and position. innobackupex still prints GTID, filename and positions if MariaDB server is being backed up. Bug fixed #1391041.

Other bugs fixed: bug #1386157.
