Percona is glad to announce the release of Percona Server 5.5.36-34.1 on March 17th, 2013. Downloads are available here and from the Percona Software Repositories.

Bugs Fixed¶
After installing the
auth_socket
plugin any local user might get root access to the server. If you’re using this plugin upgrade is advised. This is a regression, introduced in Percona Server5.5.31-30.3
. Bug fixed #1289599.The new client and server packages included files with paths that were conflicting with the ones in
mysql-libs
package on CentOS. Bug fixed #1278516.A clean installation of
Percona-Server-server-55
on CentOS would fail due to a typo inmysql_install_db
call. Bug fixed #1291247.
Percona-Server-shared-55
package was still declared as providingmysql-libs
, but it is not actually providing it anymore. Bug fixed #1291249.Slave I/O thread wouldn’t attempt to automatically reconnect to the master after a network time-out (
error: 1159
). Bug fixed #1268729 (upstream #71374).Slave I/O thread wouldn’t attempt to automatically reconnect to the master if setting
master_heartbeat_period
failed with a transient network error. Bug fixed #1268735 (upstream #71375).
Renaming the libmysqlclient
to libperconaserverclient
¶
This release fixes some of the issues caused by the libmysqlclient
rename to libperconaserverclient
in Percona Server 5.5.36-34.0
. The old name was conflicting with the upstream libmysqlclient
.
Except for packaging, libmysqlclient
and libperconaserverclient
of the same version do not have any differences. Users who previously compiled software against Percona-provided libmysqlclient
will either need to install the corresponding package of their distribution, such as mysql-lib
for CentOS and libmysqlclient18
for Ubuntu/Debian or recompile against libperconaserverclient
. Another workaround option is to create a symlink from libperconaserverclient.so.18.0.0
to libmysqlclient.so.18.0.0
.
