Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Server 5.6.12, a new version of the popular Open Source
Database Management System, has been released. MySQL 5.6.12 is
recommended for use on production systems.

For an overview of what's new in MySQL 5.6, please see

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/mysql-nutshell.html

Starting with 5.6.11, Microsoft Windows packages for MySQL 5.6
are available both as a "full" installer and as a "web" installer.
The full installer is significantly larger and comes bundled with
the latest software releases available. This bundle makes it easy
to download and configure a full server and development suite.

The web installer doesn't come bundled with any actual products
and instead relies on download-on-demand to fetch only the
products you choose to install. This makes the initial download
much smaller but increases install time as the individual products
will need to be downloaded.

For information on installing MySQL 5.6.12 on new servers or upgrading
to MySQL 5.6.11 from previous MySQL releases, please see

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/installing.html

MySQL Server is available in source and binary form for a number of
platforms from our download pages at

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/

Not all mirror sites may be up to date at this point in time, so if you
can't find this version on some mirror, please try again later or choose
another download site.

We welcome and appreciate your feedback, bug reports, bug fixes,
patches, etc:

https://wikis.oracle.com/display/mysql/Contributing

The following section lists the changes in the MySQL source code since
the previous released version of MySQL 5.6. It may also be viewed

Enjoy!

Changes in MySQL 5.6.12 (03 June 2013)

Functionality Added or Changed

* mysql_upgrade now verifies that the server version matches the
version against which it was compiled, and exits if there is a
mismatch. In addiion, a --version-check option permits
specifying whether to enable version checking (the default),
or disable checking if given as --skip-version-checking. (Bug
#16500013)

Bugs Fixed

* Incompatible Change: When used for an existing MySQL account,
the GRANT statement could produce unexpected reults if it
included an IDENTIFIED WITH clause that named an
authentication plug differing from the plugin named in the
corresponding mysql.user table row.
Because IDENTIFIED WITH is intended for GRANT statements that
create a new user, it is now prohibited if the named account
already exists. (Bug #16083276)

* Important Change; Replication: When the server was running
with --binlog-ignore-db and SELECT DATABASE() returned NULL
(that is, there was no currently selected database),
statements using fully qualified table names in dbname.tblname
format were not written to the binary log. This was because
the lack of a currently selected database in such cases was
treated as a match for any possible ignore option rather than
for no such option; this meant that these statements were
always ignored.
Now, if there is no current database, a statement using fully
qualified table names is always written to the binary log.
(Bug #11829838, Bug #60188)

* InnoDB; Partitioning: Joins involving partitioned InnoDB
tables having one or more BLOB columns were not always handled
correctly. The BLOB column or columns were not required to be
join columns, or otherwise to be named or referenced in the
statement containing the join, for this issue to occur. (Bug
#16367691)

* InnoDB: In debug builds, an online ALTER TABLE operation that
performed a full table copy would raise an assertion. The
assertion was due to a race condition that would occur during
BLOB retrieval, when applying the table modification log to
any log block except for the very last one. This fix modifies
row_log_table_apply_convert_mrec() to ensure that an index
B-tree lock is acquired to protect the access to log->blobs
and the BLOB page. (Bug #16774118)

* InnoDB: When the function trx_rollback_or_clean_recovered()
rolls back or cleans up transactions during a crash recovery,
it removes the trx objects from the trx_sys list without
freeing up the memory used by those objects. To prevent a
memory leak, this fix adds trx_free_for_background() calls to
trx_rollback_resurrected(), the function that removes the trx
objects. (Bug #16754776)

* InnoDB: A missing comma in SHOW STATUS output would break
MySQL Enterprise Monitor parsing. (Bug #16723686)

* InnoDB: After a clean shutdown, InnoDB does not check .ibd
file headers at startup. As a result, in a crash recovery
scenario, InnoDB could load a corrupted tablespace file. This
fix implements consistency and status checks to avoid loading
corrupted files. (Bug #16720368)

* InnoDB: A memory leak would occur in
dict_check_tablespaces_and_store_max_id() when space_id is
equal to zero. (Bug #16737332)

* InnoDB: When ADD PRIMARY KEY columns are reordered in an ALTER
TABLE statement (for example: ALTER TABLE t1 ADD PRIMARY
KEY(a,b), CHANGE a a INT AFTER b), the log apply for UPDATE
operations would fail to find rows. (Bug #16586355)

* InnoDB: DML operations on compressed temporary tables would
result in a Valgrind error in the buffer manager stack. (Bug
#16593331)

* InnoDB: This fix addresses a race condition that would occur
between the rollback of a recovered transaction and creation
of a secondary index in a locked operation. The race condition
would corrupt the secondary index. (Bug #16593427)

* InnoDB: For ALTER TABLE operations on InnoDB tables that
required a table-copying operation, other transactions on the
table might fail during the copy. However, if such a
transaction issued a partial rollback, the rollback was
treated as a full rollback. (Bug #16544143)

* InnoDB: Under certain circumstances, LRU flushing would take a
long time possibly affecting all flushing activity and causing
a shutdown timeout. (Bug #16500209)

* InnoDB: The recv_writer thread would only start after all redo
log scans finished. In the case of multiple redo log scans,
accumulated redo records would be applied after each scan and
before processing the next scan. The absence of the
recv_writer thread to help with flushing would slow recovery
or result in a server startup timeout. This fix ensures that
the recv_writer thread starts before the first scan batch is
processed. (Bug #16501172)

* InnoDB: This fix replaces the IB_ULONGLONG_MAX constant with
LSN_MAX where the code refers to log sequence numbers, or with
TRX_ID_MAX where trx->no is initialized to an undefined value.
This change does not alter the value of the constant. (Bug
#16458660)

* InnoDB: This fix corrects the text for InnoDB error 6025,
which stated, "InnoDB: read can't be opened in ./ib_logfile0
mode.". The corrected message states, "InnoDB: ./ib_logfile0
can't be opened in read mode." The variable and mode in the
message construct were transposed. (Bug #16434398)

* InnoDB: The page_zip_available function would count some
fields twice. (Bug #16463505)

* InnoDB: This fix removes most calls to OS_THREAD_SLEEP from
InnoDB. (Bug #16472953)

* InnoDB: Concurrently inserting into a full-text table would
cause some inserts to fail. Duplicate values would be
generated for full-text search document IDs when performing
inserts into a hidden full-text search document ID column.
(Bug #16469399)

* InnoDB: FLUSH TABLES FOR EXPORT would sleep too often while
flushing pages from buffer pools. (Bug #16471701)

* InnoDB: In cases where threads are forced to do single page
flushing, fsync() would be triggered for all data files. This
fix allows for synchronous single page flushing. (Bug
#16477781)

* InnoDB: In debug builds, an insert would fail with an invalid
assertion: sync_thread_levels_g(array, level - 1, TRUE). (Bug
#16409715)

* InnoDB: Multiple concurrent calls to dict_update_statistics()
would result in unnecessary server load. (Bug #16400412)

* InnoDB: On 64-bit Windows builds, INNODB_BUFFER_POOL_SIZE
would not accept an allocation of more than 32GB. This
limitation was due to a bug that truncated the internal value
for the InnoDB buffer pool size to 32 bits on 64-bit Windows
builds. (Bug #16391722)

* InnoDB: Crash recovery would fail with a !recv_no_log_write
assertion when reading a page. (Bug #16405422)

* InnoDB: Creating a foreign key constraint using the ALTER
TABLE INPLACE algorithm requires foreign_key_checks to be set
to 0 (SET foreign_key_checks = 0;). As a result, an
appropriate duplicate ID check would not be performed. (Bug
#16413976)

* InnoDB: RENAME TABLE would result in a hang due to a MySQL
mutex acquisition deadlock. (Bug #16305265)

* InnoDB: DROP DATABASE failed if the database contained an
InnoDB table that had a data file in an external data
directory. The external data file had an "InnoDB Symbolic
Link" file type (.isl) that was not recognized by MySQL. This
fix adds .isl as a known InnoDB file type. (Bug #16338667)

* InnoDB: When tables are linked by foreign key constraints,
loading one table would open other linked tables recursively.
When numerous tables are linked by foreign key constraints,
this would sometimes lead to a thread stack overflow causing
the server to exit. Tables linked by foreign key constraints
are now loaded iteratively. Cascade operations, which were
also performed in a recursive manner, are now performed
iteratively using an explicit stack. (Bug #16244691)

* InnoDB: When calling the lock_rec_block_validate() function
after releasing the kernel mutex, there is a chance the lock
might be invalid and result in a Valgrind error due to an
invalid read on lock->index. This fix copies the lock->index
when the kernel mutex is being held and passes the lock->index
to lock_rec_block_validate(). (Bug #16268289)

* InnoDB: Under testing, a FLUSH TABLE operation resulted in a
timeout due to a missing acknowledgement that the purge thread
had stopped. (Bug #16277387)

* InnoDB: For a compressed table, the "page reorganize" function
would ignore the innodb_log_compressed_pages option and always
log the entire compressed page, which increased the size of
the redo log. The "page reorganize" function now adheres to
the innodb_log_compressed_pages option and does not log
compressed page images to the redo log when
innodb_log_compressed_pages is set to "OFF". (Bug #16267120)

* InnoDB: After disabling foreign key checks with SET
foreign_key_checks=0 and performing a DROP INDEX, the table
was no longer accessible after restarting the server. This fix
allows the table with missing foreign key indexes to be
accessed when SET foreign_key_checks=0. When the table is
accessible, the user must recreate the missing indexes to
fulfill the foreign key constraints. (Bug #16208542)

* InnoDB: When a transaction is in READ COMMITTED isolation
level, gap locks are still taken in the secondary index when a
row is inserted. This occurs when the secondary index is
scanned for duplicates. The function
row_ins_scan_sec_index_for_duplicate() always calls the
function row_ins_set_shared_rec_lock() with LOCK_ORDINARY
irrespective of the transaction isolation level. This fix
modifies the row_ins_scan_sec_index_for_duplicate() function
to call row_ins_set_shared_rec_lock() with LOCK_ORDINARY or
LOCK_REC_NOT_GAP, based on the transaction isolation level.
(Bug #16133801)

* InnoDB: Starting mysqld with --innodb_log_buffer_size=50GB
failed to allocate memory and returned NULL. For non-debug
builds there was no check in place and a segmentation fault
occurred. This fix adds a log message stating that memory
failed to be allocated, and adds an assertion. (Bug #16069598)

* InnoDB: When UNIV_DEBUG is enabled in debug builds,
buf_validate() is often called which sometimes results in
false alarms in tests on semaphore wait timeout. This fix
increases counter values to reduce false alarms. (Bug
#16068056)

* InnoDB: While processing read-write workloads, InnoDB would
scan more pages than are required for flushing, unnecessarily
consuming CPU resource. (Bug #16037180)

* InnoDB: The explain_filename function, which provides
information about a partition by parsing the file name, would
return an error when attempting to parse a file name with no
partition information. (Bug #16051728)

* InnoDB: Stopping the server, removing a database table (d1.t1)
.frm file from the data directory, restarting the server, and
dropping the database (d1), would cause an assertion. (Bug
#16043216)

* InnoDB: An active FLUSH TABLE FOR EXPORT thread would cause a
hang during shutdown. The fix ensures that
trx_is_interrupted() is checked during ibuf_merge. (Bug
#15953255)

* InnoDB: A multi-row INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE insert
failure, caused by a duplicate key error, would result in
duplicate auto-increment values. (Bug #14483484)

* Replication: Point-in-time recovery could fail when trying to
restore a single database from a binary log in row-based
format using mysqlbinlog with the --database option. (Bug
#16698172)

* Replication: Issuing a FLUSH TABLES statement on a
GTID-enabled master caused replication to fail. It was found
that this misbehavior was introduced by the fix for Bug
#16062608, which disallowed statements that perform an
implicit commit but whose changes are not logged when
gtid_next is set to any value other than AUTOMATIC. The
changes made in that fix have been reverted, and such
statements are (again) allowed without regard to the value of
this variable. (Bug #16715809, Bug #69045)

* Replication: A crash-on-commit error caused InnoDB to lose the
previous transaction following execution of a RESET MASTER
statement. This occurred because the prepare phase caused a
flush to disk, while the commit phase did not perform a
corresponding flush within InnoDB.
To fix this problem, RESET MASTER now causes storage engine
logs to be flushed on commit. (Bug #16666456, Bug #68932)

* Replication: When used with the options --dump-slave
--include-master-host-port, mysqldump printed the port number
within quotation marks, as if it were a string value rather
than an integer. (Bug #16615117)

* Replication: When processing an Update_rows_log_event or
Delete_rows_log_event from the binary log, the before image is
hashed and stored in a hash table. Following this, the
original table is scanned for the desired records; subsequent
processing hashes each record fetched from the original table
and performs a lookup for it in the hash table. However,
columns read from the image that had originally been set to
NULL could instead contain random or "garbage" data, causing
the lookup (and thus replication) to fail with an error such
as Could not execute Update_rows event on table.... (Bug
#16621923)
References: See also Bug #11766865. This bug was introduced by
Bug #16566658.

* Replication: Due to time resolution issues on some systems,
the time to be taken by the dump thread for a reply from the
slave could be calculated to be less than zero, leading to
Semi-sync master wait for reply fail to get wait time errors.
Since this condition does not have a negative impact on
replication, errors caused by these conditions have been
reduced to warnings. (Bug #16579028)

* Replication: When one or more GTID log events but no previous
GTIDs log events were found in the binary log, the resulting
error was mishandled and led to a failure of the server. (This
is an extremely rare condition that should never occur under
normal circumstances, and likely indicates that the binary log
file has somehow been corrupted.) Now in such cases, an
appropriate error is issued, and is handled correctly. (Bug
#16502579, Bug #68638)

* Replication: Running the server with both the
--log-slave-updates and --replicate-wild-ignore-table options
in some cases caused updates to user variables not to be
logged. (Bug #16541422)

* Replication: When using mysqlbinlog and the mysql client to
roll forward two or more binary logs on a server having GTIDs
enabled, the gtid_next variable was not properly reset when
switching from the first to the second binary log, causing
processing to halt with an error at that point. (Bug
#16532543)

* Replication: The mysqlbinlog options --include-gtids,
--exclude-gtids, and --skip-gtids did not work correctly when
trying to process multiple files. (Bug #16517775)

* Replication: When the size of an execution event exceeded the
maximum set for the buffer (slave_pending_jobs_size_max),
row-based replication could hang with Waiting for slave
workers to free pending events. (Bug #16439245, Bug #68462)

* Replication: Extra binary log rotations were performed due to
concurrent attempts at rotation when the binary log became
full, which were allowed to succeed. This could lead to the
unnecessary creation of many small binary log files. (Bug
#16443676, Bug #68575)

* Replication: Attempting to execute START SLAVE after importing
new slave_master_info and slave_relay_log_info tables failed
with an empty error message. Now an appropriate error and
message are issued in such cases. (Bug #16475866, Bug #68605)

* Replication: Restarting the server after the
slave_relay_log_info table had been emptied caused mysqld to
fail while trying to return an error. (Bug #16460978, Bug
#68604)

* Replication: Following disconnection from the master, the
slave could under certain conditions report erroneously on
reconnection that it had received a packet that was larger
than slave_max_allowed_packet, causing replication to fail.
(Bug #16438800, Bug #68490)

* Replication: An SQL thread error during MTS slave recovery
caused the slave to fail. (Bug #16407467, Bug #68506)

* Replication: When using the options --read-from-remote-server
--stop-never --base64-output=decode-rows --verbose,
mysqlbinlog failed to reset the counter used to store the
current position within the file when the binary log on the
server was rotated. (Bug #16316123, Bug #68347)

* Replication: When using mysqldump to back up a database
created with MySQL 5.6.4 or an earlier version, setting
--set-gtid-purged=AUTO caused the backup to fail, because
pre-5.6.5 versions of MySQL did not support GTIDs, and it
could not be determined if GTIDs were enabled for the
database. This fix makes sure mysqldump does not attempt to
output a SET @@global.gtid_purged statement when backing up
any pre-5.6.5 databases. (Bug #16303363, Bug #68314)

* Replication: Deadlocks could sometimes occur on group commits
with a high number of concurrent updates, as well as when one
client held a lock from a commit while another client imposed
a lock while rotating the binary log. (Bug #16271657, Bug
#16491597, Bug #68251, Bug #68569)

* Replication: When semisynchronous replication was enabled, the
automatic dropping on the master of an event created using ON
COMPLETION NOT PRESERVE caused the master to fail. (Bug
#15948818, Bug #67276)

* Replication: Setting a SET column to NULL inside a stored
procedure caused replication to fail. (Bug #14593883, Bug
#66637)

* Replication: The binary log contents got corrupted sometimes,
because the function MYSQL_BIN_LOG::write_cache always thought
it had reached the end-of-cache when the function my_b_fill()
reported a '0,' while that could also mean an error had
occurred. This fix makes sure that whenever my_b_fill()
returns a '0,' an error check is performed on info->error.
(Bug #14324766, Bug #60173)

* Replication: PURGE BINARY LOGS by design does not remove
binary log files that are in use or active, but did not
provide any notice when this occurred. Now, when log files are
not removed under such conditions, a warning is issued; this
warning includes information about the file or files were not
removed when the statement was issued. (Bug #13727933)

* Replication: When replicating to a BLACKHOLE table using the
binary logging format, updates and deletes cannot be applied
and so are skipped. Now a warning is generated for this
whenever it occurs.
Note
binlog_format=STATEMENT is recommended when replicating to
tables that use the BLACKHOLE storage engine.
(Bug #13004581)

* Overhead for setting PROCESSLIST_STATE values in the
Performance Schema THREADS table has been reduced. (Bug
#16633515)

* The Windows authentication plugin failed to free a context
buffer for each connection. (Bug #16591288)

* The DBUG_PRINT() macro unnecessarily evaluated arguments when
debugging was not enabled. (Bug #16556597)

* When index condition pushdown was used on a descending range
scan and the first range interval did not contain any
qualifying records, the result of the range scan could be
empty even if other range intervals contained qualifying
records. (Bug #16483273)

* The server could attempt a filesort operation for a zero-size
sort length, causing it to exit. (Bug #16503160)

* my_load_defaults() was modified to accommodate some problems
under compilation with gcc 4.7.2 that could cause a client
crash during option processing. (Bug #16497125)

* Opening a cursor on a SELECT within a stored procedure could
cause a segmentation fault. (Bug #16499751)
References: This bug is a regression of Bug #14740889.

* SET PASSWORD treated user@'%' and user@'' as referring to the
same mysql.user table row. (Bug #16488043)

* Some INFORMATION_SCHEMA queries that used ORDER BY did not use
a filesort optimization as they did in MySQL 5.5. (Bug
#16423536)

* Performance Schema parameter autosizing at startup did not
take into account later autosizing changes to other startup
parameters on which the Performance Schema parameters
depended. (Bug #16430532)

* The WKB reader for spatial operations could fail and cause a
server exit. (Bug #16451878)

* Optimizer heuristics inappropriately preferred range access
over ref access in cases when the ref access referred to a
column of a table earlier in the join seqence. (Bug #16437940)

* Manually-created accounts (using INSERT) with a malformed
password effectively had no password. (Bug #16414396)

* Several scripts in the sql-bench directory that were supposed
to be executable did not have the executable access bit set.
(Bug #16395606)

* For debug builds, DBUG_EXPLAIN resulted in a buffer overflow
when the debug system variable value was more than 255
characters. (Bug #16402143)

* Within an XA transaction in ACTIVE state, statements causing
an implicit commit could result in metadata locks being
released too early. (Bug #16362832)

* thread_pool_high_priority_connection could not be set at
server startup. (Bug #16310373)

* Re-execution of a stored procedure could cause a server exit
in Item_field::fix_outer_field. (Bug #16317443)

* A GROUP_CONCAT() invocation containing subquery having an
outer reference caused the server to exit. (Bug #16347343)

* With secure_auth enabled, a user with a password that used the
pre-4.1 (old) hashing could not update it to use the 4.1 (new)
hashing. (Bug #16304018)

* For debug builds, GROUP_CONCAT(... ORDER BY) within an ORDER
BY clause could cause a server exit. (Bug #16347426)

* The validate_password plugin did not always enforce
appropriate constraints against assigning empty passwords.
(Bug #16346443)

* For debug builds, the server could exit for queries involving
a nested subquery, a subquery tranformed into a semi-join and
using a view. (Bug #16317076)

* The range optimizer could set up incorrect ranges for queries
that used XOR operations. (Bug #16272562)

* mysql_secure_installation could not connect to the server if
the account used had an expired password. It invoked mysql
noninteractively, resulting in that program failing to
connect. Now mysql supports a --connect-expired-password
option that indicates to the server that it can handle sandbox
mode for expired-password accounts even if invoked
noninteractively, and mysql_secure_installation invokes mysql
with this option. (Bug #16248315)

* If loose index scan was used on a query that used MIN(), a
segmentation fault could occur. (Bug #16222245)

* If multiple statements were sent in a single request, the
audit log plugin logged only the last one. Now it logs each
statement separately. (Bug #16169063)

* For debug builds, an assertion was incorrectly raised for
queries executed using eq_ref access and filesort. (Bug
#16164885)

* An outer join between a regular table and a derived table that
is implicitly groups could cause a server exit. (Bug
#16177639)

* A prepared statement that used GROUP_CONCAT() and an ORDER BY
clause that named multiple columns could cause the server to
exit. (Bug #16075310)

* Creating a FEDERATED table without specifying a connection
string caused a server exit. (Bug #16048546)

* ORDER BY MATCH ... AGAINST could cause a server exit. (Bug
#16073689)

* Client programs from MySQL 5.6.4 and up could confuse older
servers during the connection process by using newer protocol
features not understood by older servers. (Bug #15965409)

* When a partition is missing, code in ha_innodb.cc would retry
10 times and sleep for a microsecond each time while holding
LOCK_open. The retry logic for partitioned tables was
introduced as a fix for Bug#33349 but did not include a test
case to validate it. This fix removes the retry logic for
partitioned tables. If the problem reported in Bug#33349
reappears, a different solution will be explored. (Bug
#15973904)

* The mysql.server script exited with an error if the status
command was executed with multiple servers running. (Bug
#15852074)

* Use of the VALUES() function in the VALUES() clause of an
INSERT statement could result in Valgrind warnings or an
unstable server, possibly leading to a server exit. (Bug
#14789787)

* In some cases, REVOKE could fail to revoke the GRANT OPTION
privilege. (Bug #14799187)

* The mysql client allocated but did not free a string after
reading each line in interactive mode, resulting in a memory
leak. (Bug #14685362)

* Killing a connection while it was in the process of
disconnecting could lead to an assertion being raised,
Valgrind warnings, and general unstability. (Bug #14560522)

* INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE on a view could cause a
server exit. (Bug #14261010)

* Grouping by an outer BLOB column in a subquery caused a server
exit. (Bug #13966809, Bug #14700180)

* The server could exit due to improper handling of the error
from an invalid comparison. (Bug #13009341)

* The CMake check for unsigned time_t failed on all platforms.
(Bug #11766815)

* mysqladmin debug causes the server to write debug information
to the error log. On systems that supported mallinfo(), the
memory-status part of this output was incorrect in 64-bit
environments when mysqld consumed more than 4GB memory.
Now the server uses malloc_info() to obtain memory-status
information. malloc_info() does not report the memory that the
glibc malloc() implementation internally allocates using
mmap(). However, it does provide the memory usage information
in all the memory arenas.
This bug fix also involves a change of output format. The
server now writes memory information in XML format rather than
as plain text. Example:
Memory status:
<malloc version="1">
<heap nr="0">
<sizes>
<size from="33" to="33" total="1056" count="32"/>
<size from="65" to="65" total="65" count="1"/>
<size from="113" to="113" total="226" count="2"/>
<size from="129" to="129" total="2451" count="19"/>
<size from="145" to="145" total="290" count="2"/>
<size from="161" to="161" total="1288" count="8"/>
<size from="209" to="209" total="418" count="2"/>
</sizes>
<total type="fast" count="0" size="0"/>
<total type="rest" count="66" size="5794"/>
<system type="current" size="10833920"/>
<system type="max" size="10833920"/>
<aspace type="total" size="10833920"/>

(Bug #11746658)

* On 64-bit Mac OS X systems, CMake used x86 rather than x86_64
when determining the machine type. (Bug #58462, Bug #11765489)

* The mysql client incorrectly used latin1 for certain
comparisons even if started with a multibyte default character
set, resulting in a client crash. (Bug #68107, Bug #16182919)

* The url columns in the mysql datatbase help tables were too
short to hold some of the URLs in the help content. These
columns are now created as type TEXT to accommodate longer
URLs. (Bug #61520, Bug #12671635)

* mysqld --help and mysqld --verbose --help performed
unnecessary logging. (Bug #68578, Bug #16442113)

* InnoDB does not support full-text parser plugins, but failed
to report an error if they were specified. Now an
ER_INNODB_NO_FT_USES_PARSER error is returned. (Bug #62004,
Bug #12843070)

* If Loose Index Scan was used to evaluate a query that compared
an integer column to an integer specified as a quoted string
(for example, col_name = '1'), the query could return
incorrect results. (Bug #68473, Bug #16394084)

* IF() function evaluations could produce different results when
executed in a prepared versus nonprepared statement. (Bug
#45370, Bug #11753852)

* If a function such as AES_DECRYPT() that requires SSL support
failed, the error could affect later calls to functions that
require SSL support. (Bug #68340, Bug #16315767)

* In a MySQL server newer than MySQL 5.5 using a nonupgraded
mysql.user table (for which mysql_upgrade had not been run),
statements to set passwords caused a server exit due to a
faulty check for the password_expired column. (Bug #68385, Bug
#16339767)

* It is now possible to suppress installation of the mysql-test
directory after compiling MySQL from source by invoking CMake
with the INSTALL_MYSQLTESTDIR option explicitly set to empty:
cmake . -DINSTALL_MYSQLTESTDIR Previously, attempts to do this resulted in an error. (Bug
#58615, Bug #11765629)

* When only counting events but not timing them, Performance
Schema would report MIN_TIMER_WAIT values as a large number
instead of 0. (Bug #68768, Bug #16552425)

* Using range access with an index prefix could produce
incorrect results. (Bug #68750, Bug #16540042)

* For debug builds, metadata locking for CREATE TABLE ... SELECT
could raise an assertion. (Bug #68695, Bug #16503173)

* A new CMake option, WITH_EDITLINE, is provided to indicate
whether to use the bundled or system libedit/editline library.
The permitted values are bundled (the default) and system.
WITH_EDITLINE replaces WITH_LIBEDIT, which has been removed.
(Bug #68558, Bug #16430208)

* When specified in an option file, the plugin-dir client option
was ignored. (Bug #68800, Bug #16680313)

* Indexes on derived tables that were used during the first
invocation of a stored procedure were not used in subsequent
invocations. (Bug #68350, Bug #16346367)

* For DELETE and UPDATE statements, EXPLAIN displayed NULL in
the ref column for some cases where const is more appropriate.
(Bug #68299, Bug #16296268)

* The optimizer could choose a poor execution plan for queries
with ORDER BY ... LIMIT. (Bug #69013, Bug #16697792)
