Percona is glad to announce the release of Percona XtraBackup 2.4.15 on July 10, 2019. You can download it from our download site and apt and yum 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, it drives down backup costs while providing unique features for MySQL backups.

All Percona software is open-source and free.

Bugs Fixed

• When the encrypted tablespaces feature was enabled, encrypted and compressed
  tables were not usable on the joiner node (Percona XtraDB Cluster) via SST
  (State Snapshot Transfer) with the xtrabackup-v2 method. Bug fixed PXB-1867.
• xbcloud did not update date related fields of the HTTP
  header when retrying a request. Bug fixed PXB-1874.
• xbcloud did not retry to send the request after receiving the HTTP 408
  error (request timeout). Bug fixed PXB-1875.
• If the user tried to merge an already prepared incremental backup, a
  misleading error was produced without informing that incremental backups may
  not be used twice. Bug fixed PXB-1862.
• xbcloud could crash with the Swift storage when project options were
  not included. Bug fixed PXB-1844.
• xtrabackup did not accept decimal fractions as values of the
  innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct option. Bug fixed PXB-1807.
