You are strongly advised to upgrade to latest stable versions if you want to continue using Percona software.

Fixed Bugs

• Fixed gcache page cleanup not triggering when limits are exceeded.
• PXC-782: Updated xtrabackup-v2 script to use the tmpdir option (if it is set under [sst], [xtrabackup] or [mysqld], in that order).
• PXC-784: Fixed the pc.recovery procedure to abort if the gvwstate.dat file is empty or invalid, and fall back to normal joining process. For more information, see 1669333.
• PXC-794: Updated the sockopt option to include a comma at the beginning if it is not set by the user.
• PXC-797: Blocked wsrep_desync toggling while the node is paused to avoid halting the cluster when running FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK. For more information, see 1370532.
• Fixed several packaging and dependency issues.

Other improvements

• Updated semantics for gcache page cleanup to trigger when either gcache.keep_pages_size or gcache.keep_pages_count exceeds the limit, instead of both at the same time.
• Added support for passing the XtraBackup buffer pool size with the use-memory option under [xtrabackup] and the innodb_buffer_pool_size option under [mysqld] when the --use-memory option is not passed with the inno-apply-opts option under [sst].
