Percona Server 5.5.36-34.0¶
Percona is glad to announce the release of Percona Server 5.5.36-34.0 on March 10th, 2014. Downloads are available here and from the Percona Software Repositories.
Based on MySQL 5.5.36, including all the bug fixes in it, Percona Server 5.5.36-34.0 is now the current stable release in the 5.5 series. All of Percona‘s software is open-source and free, all the details of the release can be found in the 5.5.36-34.0 milestone at Launchpad.
New Features¶
Debian and Ubuntu packaging has been reworked to meet the packaging standards.
Ability to change database for mysqlbinlog has been ported from Percona Server 5.1.
Percona Server has implemented Slow Query Log Rotation and Expiration feature to provide users with better control of slow query log disk space usage.
In order to comply with Linux distribution packaging standards Percona‘s version of
libmysqlclient
has been renamed tolibperconaserver
. The old name was conflicting with the upstreamlibmysqlclient
. Except for packaging,libmysqlclient
andlibperconaserverclient
of the same version do not have any differences. Users wishing to continue usinglibmysqlclient
will have to install the corresponding package of their distribution, such asmysql-lib
for CentOS andlibmysqlclient18
for Ubuntu/Debian. Users wishing to build software againstlibperconaserverclient
should installlibperconaserverclient-dev
package. An old version of Percona-builtlibmysqlclient
will be available for download.
