[This is part 2 of the announcement]

Bugs Fixed, cont.

* Replication: The group replication applier channel does
not support DATABASE as the slave_parallel_type; when
group replication is started, this is checked for
explicitly, and handled correctly. However, it remained
possible to change this value indirectly at a later point
in time by increasing the value of slave_parallel_workers
while the slave SQL thread was stopped, which caused the
applier to fail with an error. To fix this problem, the
slave_parallel_type for the group_replication_applier is
now checked to make sure that it is set to LOGICAL_CLOCK
whenever the number of slave_parallel_workers is set
greater then 0, and not merely when group replication is
first started. (Bug #21798804)

* Replication: As binlog_error_action=ABORT_SERVER is the
default in MySQL 5.7.7 and later it is being used for
more error situations. The behavior has been adjusted to
generate a core dump to improve troubleshooting
possibilities. (Bug #21486161, Bug #77738)

* Replication: At runtime, some Gtid_set objects could be
instrumented with a performance schema mutex key equal to
0 (which is invalid), due to its use as the effective
default value when the mutex key was not actually
supplied. This allowed these objects to be created
without a valid key, which led to further issues when
using them. (Bug #21485997)

* Replication: When running the server with gtid_mode=ON, a
DELETE from a MEMORY table following a restart was not
written to the binary log correctly. (Bug #21045848)

* Replication: The locking behavior of replication
administration statements has changed to make SHOW SLAVE
STATUS more concurrent. This makes the NONBLOCKING clause
redundant for SHOW SLAVE STATUS and it has been removed.
(Bug #20593028)

* Replication: ER_CANT_USE_AUTO_POSITION_WITH_GTID_MODE_OFF
errors were not reported using the correct format. (Bug
#20545943)

* Replication: When the dump thread was killed while
dumping an inactive binary log, some events in this log
could be skipped and thus not replicated. (Bug #78337,
Bug #21816399)
References: See also Bug #74607, Bug #19975697.

* Replication: XA transactions could cause an assert
condition on XA COMMIT; this was happening because the
internal transaction state was not reset between XA
PREPARE and XA COMMIT or XA ROLLBACK, due to the fact
that these operations constitute separate transactions
under XA. In addition, XA ROLLBACK statements were not
handled properly in some cases. (Bug #78264, Bug
#21755890)

* Replication: The interface between the Group Replication
plugin and the Performance Schema engine made use of a
type of memory allocation which was passed to the server,
and was a potential source of problems when passing
information between the plugin and performance_schema
tables. The implementation for this interface has been
reworked so as to avoid performing this type of memory
allocation when sharing data. (Bug #78263, Bug #21755699)

* Replication: The MTS submode set for each channel was
ignored by the worker threads, which continued to read
and use the global flag set for all slave channels. This
could lead to errors when the coordinator was of one type
and its workers of another. (Bug #77763, Bug #21464737)

* Replication: Replication slaves could fail for having
insufficient privileges when they had been granted only
the REPLICATION SLAVE privilege. (Bug #77732, Bug
#21455603)

* Replication: The status variable Slave_open_temp_tables
keeps track of the number of temporary tables that are
opened by the replication slave. If multi-source
replication is enabled, it is the total number of
temporary tables for all channels. This fix addresses the
following issues relating to this variable:

+ RESET SLAVE FOR CHANNEL channel forced the value of
Slave_open_temp_tables to 0; in the event that some
other replication channel had open temporary tables
which were later dropped, the value wrapped around
to a large negative value (1 - 2^32). This also
caused spurious or missed warnings when issuing a
STOP SLAVE or CHANGE MASTER TO statement.

+ The internal function that modifies
Slave_open_temp_tables in such cases relied on two
incorrect assumptions:

1. That the variable is updated by only one thread
when multi-threaded slaves are not enabled,
which is not true in the case of multi-source
replication.
That non-atomic operations are safe with a
single writer and multiple readers, which is
not necessarily true for some platforms
supported by MySQL.
(Bug #77585, Bug #21357008)

* Replication: The warning '@@session.gtid_executed' is
deprecated and will be removed in a future release. was
printed even when the session variable gtid_executed was
not included in the result of a query. In addition, the
result of SELECT @@session.gtid_executed included a
duplicate warning. Both issues occurred because the
warning was printed whenever the value of gtid_executed
was accessed by a statement, such access occurring as a
matter of course, whether or not a given variable is
actually included in the result.
To fix this issue, we make handling of
@@session.gtid_executed consistent with how the
also-deprecated variable @@global.sql_log_bin is treated
in such cases, by making the following changes:

+ gtid_executed is no longer included in the
performance_schema.session_variables table.

+ gtid_executed is still included in the
information_schema.session_variables table, but when
show_compatibility_56 = ON, the warning is not
issued when querying the session_variables table, or
when issuing SHOW VARIABLES or SHOW SESSION
VARIABLES, even when using a matching LIKE clause
with either of the SHOW statements.
The warning is still issued by a statement such as SELECT
@@session.gtid_executed which accesses the value of the
variable directly. (Bug #77574, Bug #21354712)
References: See also Bug #75980, Bug #20575529, Bug
#76626, Bug #20854952.

* Replication: When a transaction consisting of a single
statement with a specified GTID failed in autocommit
mode, its GTID was not released when rolling it back when
binary logging was disabled. (Bug #77521, Bug #21338147)

* Replication: The slave group event parser did not
properly register an XA_ROLLBACK event as a transaction
boundary. (Bug #77392, Bug #21273010)
References: See also Bug #20920851.

* Replication: mysqlbinlog printed a ROLLBACK statement at
the end of the binary log file, which when played back
failed with error 1782 @@SESSION.GTID_NEXT cannot be set
to ANONYMOUS when @@GLOBAL.GTID_MODE = ON. This occurred
when the binary log file did not include any data related
events, or when the relay log file included a
Format_description_log_event that had been generated on
the master at server startup.
The fix for this issue causes a relay log's
Format_description_log_event to do nothing if it is
applied by a BINLOG statement, and stops a ROLLBACK from
setting gtid_next to ANONYMOUS when the state of
gtid_next has not yet been determined by a subsequent
event. (Bug #76887, Bug #20980932)

* Replication: SAVEPOINT and ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT within a
trigger led to an assertion. (Bug #76727, Bug #20901025)

* Replication: While a SHOW BINLOG EVENTS statement was
executing, any parallel transaction was blocked. The fix
ensures that the SHOW BINLOG EVENTS process now only
acquires a lock for the duration of calculating the
file's end position, therefore parallel transactions are
not blocked for long durations. (Bug #76618, Bug
#20928790)

* Replication: If a CREATE VIEW statement failed, it was
being incorrectly written to the binary log even though
it did not result in the creation of a partial view. The
fix ensures that such statements are not recorded in the
binary log. Additionally it was found that when a
statement which had failed on a master was received by a
slave with an expected error, if the statement was
skipped on the slave, for example due to a replication
filter, the expected error was being compared with the
actual error that happened on the slave. The fix ensures
that if a statement with an expected error is received by
a slave, if the statement has not been filtered, only
then is it compared with the actual error that happened
on the slave. (Bug #76493, Bug #20797764)

* Replication: The action specified for binlog_error_action
was not always honored correctly after a hardware failure
occurred during log rotation. (Bug #76379, Bug #20805298)

* Replication: When using MySQL 5.7.6 and later with
binlog_format=row and gtid_mode=off, if CREATE ... SELECT
was killed during execution it could lead to an
inconsistent state, breaking replication. The cause was
that in MySQL 5.7.6 the way CREATE ... SELECT was logged
was changed, so that a commit was introduced between the
CREATE TABLE and SELECT steps. The fix ensures that
CREATE ... SELECT does not commit in the middle of the
transaction when binlog_format=row. (Bug #76320, Bug
#77098, Bug #20742519, Bug #21114464)

* Replication: Modifying the master_info_repository or
relay_log_info_repository inside a transaction and later
rolling back that transaction left the repository in an
unusable state. We fix this by preventing any
modification of these repositories inside a transaction.
(Bug #74950, Bug #20074353)

* Replication: Transactions added to gtid_executed using
SET gtid_purged were not taken into account by
WAIT_FOR_EXECUTED_GTID_SET() until a subsequent
transaction was committed by a client or slave thread.
(Bug #73838, Bug #19579811)

* Replication: When the running with
--relay-log-info-repository=TABLE, the
mysql.slave_relay_log_info table is updated when a
transaction is committed or when a flush is performed
explicitly, such during relay log rotation. If a
transaction that uses any nontransactional tables (such
as MyISAM tables) is split across multiple relay logs, it
is partially committed on relay log flush. When
gtid_mode=ON, this caused the same GTID to be used for
the remaining portion of the transaction, which raised an
ER_GTID_NEXT_TYPE_UNDEFINED_GROUP error.
We fix this issue by postponing in such cases the update
of the relay log information repository that normally
occurs on relay log rotation until the commit for the
transaction in question has been executed.
This issue did not affect tables using transactional
storage engines such as InnoDB. (Bug #68525, Bug
#16418100)

* For an index-only scan over an indexed generated column,
the server could do random calculations; the random
results were not exposed to the user, but Valgrind
warnings could occur, and the server could exit when
calculations involved functions which did not expect such
incorrect data. (Bug #21833760)

* Although the use of JSON values with GREATEST() or
LEAST() is not currently supported, the server did not
handle attempts to do so correctly, leading to an assert
(Linux) or exit() call (Windows) in debug builds. Now
when you try to use JSON values with either of these
functions, the server emits a suitable warning
(ER_NOT_SUPPORTED_YET). (Bug #21828321)
References: See also Bug #21383497.

* For debug builds, a DROP TRIGGER statement could raise an
assertion if the trigger was defined on a table that
contained a generated column. (Bug #21824519)

* A table that included a generated column referencing a
JSON column in some cases become corrupted, so that a
subsequent access of the table using a different
connection caused the server to fail. (Bug #21808680)
References: See also Bug #21824519, Bug #78408.

* For tables with VIRTUAL generated columns, an INSERT with
an empty values list could cause a server exit. (Bug
#21807818)

* CMake configuration was adjusted to handle new warnings
reported by Clang 3.7. (Bug #21803314)

* Using a materialized view defined over a table containing
generated columns could cause a server exit. (Bug
#21797776)

* For partitioned InnoDB tables containing a virtual
generated column, reads from the table could return
random data for the column. (Bug #21779011)

* The CMake checks for NUMA availability could cause
compilation problems on platforms without NUMA support.
(Bug #21774859)

* The optimizer did not consider nonfunctional expressions
such as (a AND b) = 1 when looking for indexed generated
columns to substitute for the (a AND b) expression. Now
expressions using the AND and OR logical operators are
considered. (Bug #21770798)

* For debug builds, when the optimizer tried to clone
certain types of keys for a range optimization, an
assertion was raised. (Bug #21761867)

* For debug builds, the server could exit when the
optimizer attempted to estimate the cost for processing
unique values when there were no keys. (Bug #21697002)

* An INSERT into a view with a subquery could fail if
executed as a prepared statement. (Bug #21696206)

* mysql-test-run.pl now has an --valgrind-clients option
that causes all clients started by .test files to be run
with valgrind. This option requires valgrind 3.9 or
later.
In addition, several client memory leak issues were
fixed. (Bug #21672747)

* For queries on InnoDB tables for which the optimizer used
SPATIAL indexes for full index scans, the result was
empty because such indexes do not support a full scan.
The optimizer no longer considers SPATIAL indexes as
candidates for full index scans. (Bug #21663612)

* For some inputs, ST_Intersection() could return an
invalid polygon. (Bug #21658453)

* Added Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 support. Changes
include using the native (added in VS 2015) timespec
library if it exists, renamed lfind/lsearch and
timezone/tzname to avoid redefinition problems, set
TMPDIR to "" by default as P_tmpdir no longer exists,
deprecated std::hash_map in favor of std::unordered_map,
and added Wix Toolset 3.10 support. (Bug #21657078)

* Spatial functions could simplify geometry values in
contexts where the value might be used elsewhere in a
query, producing incorrect results. (Bug #21652012)

* If ST_ConvexHull() or ST_SRID() were used in a view
definition, the resulting definition contained
ST_Convex_Hull() (misspelled) or SRID() (deprecated).
(Bug #21651588)

* JSON_TYPE() returned OPAQUE for some binary values that
it should have identified as BLOB. (Bug #21649073)

* The mysql client parser incorrectly interpreted optimizer
hint comments that contained ;, ", ', or ` characters.
(Bug #21646026)

* These Version Tokens issues were resolved:

+ version_tokens_delete() now strips whitespace
surrounding token names in its argument, similar to
version_tokens_set() and version_tokens_edit().

+ Passing NULL to version_tokens_delete() caused a
server exit.

+ Passing an argument with an empty token name to to
version_tokens_set() or version_tokens_edit() caused
a server exit.

+ Passing NULL as the timeout value to
version_tokens_lock_exclusive() or
version_tokens_lock_shared() caused a server exit.
(Bug #21645001, Bug #21646106, Bug #21645944, Bug
#21646017)

* For debug builds, enabling the PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH
SQL mode could cause SHOW FUNCTION STATUS to raise an
assertion. (Bug #21632425)

* mysqlpump did not exit with a message for some
combinations of incompatible options. (Bug #21628662)

* An assertion could be raised if the optimizer tried to
create a temporary table based on a prepared statement
parameter. (Bug #21625929)

* Executing a prepared statement with multiple nested
subqueries could raise an assertion. (Bug #21624851)

* For debug builds, failure of subquery optimization could
cause an assertion to be raised due to improper error
handling. (Bug #21621313)

* Some table and index optimizer hints were lost early in
statement processing, so query rewrite plugins did not
have access to them. This could cause incorrect matching
between incoming statements and statement pattern
templates. (Bug #21619780)

* Queries containing nested subqueries combining grouping
and outer references might cause a server exit. (Bug
#21619634)

* Passing NULL as the second or third argument to
ST_AsGeoJSON() could cause the server to stop responding
to the session or (in debug builds) to raise an
assertion.
Giving input to HANDLER READ that could not be converted
to the correct type could cause the server to stop
responding to the session or (in debug builds) to raise
an assertion. (Bug #21616810, Bug #21650603)

* For debug builds, ST_IsValid(NULL) could raise an
assertion. (Bug #21616647)

* For debug builds, an assertion could be raised for
negative zero values when converting time values to
decimal. (Bug #21616585)

* ST_AsWKB() could cause a server exit if given invalid
data. (Bug #21614368)

* If an aggregate function was used over a generated column
that was itself part of a multiple-column index, the
server could exit. (Bug #21613615)

* A missing error check during column reference resolution
could result in an incorrect error message or (in debug
builds) an assertion being raised. (Bug #21613422)

* For debug builds, an assertion could be raised in
Filesort::make_sortorder() for attempts to sort Item_ref
objects. (Bug #21611270)

* JSON functions could return incorrect values if a path
argument was passed as a user-defined variable that
changed values between result set rows. (Bug #21602361)

* Columns selected from the right-hand table of a left
join, which was also a derived table, might produce
incorrect NULL value information when used in an IN
subquery. (Bug #21574933)
References: This bug was introduced by Bug #14358878.

* For debug builds, an assertion was raised for some
queries that have a semi-join and use the materialization
strategy, if a key length or number of key parts was
zero. (Bug #21566735)

* Compilation using gcc 4.9 or 5.1 failed on ARM64
platforms. (Bug #21552524)

* If a multiple-column UPDATE statement failed to update a
JSON column that was then referenced in a later update,
the server could exit. (Bug #21547877)

* For debug builds, invalid geometry byte strings could
cause spatial functions to raise an assertion rather than
return an error to the caller. (Bug #21546656)

* For debug builds, a too-strict assertion could be raised
by invalid characters for LOAD DATA. (Bug #21542698)

* The server could exit when InnoDB tried to update a
secondary index on a VIRTUAL generated column of type
BLOB. (Bug #21530366)

* Binary logging of CREATE USER and statements could log
the hash of the password hash (rather than the hash
itself) when log_backward_compatible_user_definitions was
enabled. Binary logging of ALTER USER statements could
include attributes not present in the original
statements.
In consequence of the fix for these issues,
log_backward_compatible_user_definitions has been
replaced by log_builtin_as_identified_by_password. If
this variable is enabled, binary logging for CREATE USER
statements involving built-in authentication plugins
rewrites the statements to include an IDENTIFIED BY
PASSWORD clause, and SET PASSWORD statements are logged
as SET PASSWORD statements, rather than being rewritten
to ALTER USER statements. (Bug #21516392, Bug #20535561)

* For debug builds, incorrect caching of JSON values could
cause an assertion to be raised. (Bug #21491442)

* An empty string (which is not a valid JSON value)
normally is parsed and returned as a JSON null literal,
but in some cases could raise an assertion for debug
builds. (Bug #21487833)

* For temporary tables created to handle UNION statements
that selected CHAR or SET columns, the maximum column
width could be too long for InnoDB to handle. Now such
columns are created as variable-length columns. (Bug
#21480999)

* Certain JSON functions could return incorrect results
when used in prepared statements which had path
expression constants. (Bug #21472872)

* Valgrind errors could occur during partition pruning for
tables containing generated columns. (Bug #21469535)

* For builds configured with MAX_INDEXES greater than 64,
certain queries for which the server used temporary
tables could cause a server exit. (Bug #21466850)

* Adding or dropping a VIRTUAL generated column could cause
a server exit. (Bug #21465626)

* An attempt to use a previously unused time zone with
CONVERT_TZ() could produce warnings or errors or (in
debug builds) raise an assertion if GTIDs were enabled
but the binary log was not enabled.
In debug builds, an attempt to use a previously unused
time zone with CONVERT_TZ() or as the value of the
time_zone system variable inside a stored program could
raise an assertion. (Bug #21459999, Bug #21459795)

* For plugins that use the audit plugin API,
MYSQL_AUDIT_GLOBAL_VARIABLE_SET events passed to the
notification function did not include the new variable
value. (Bug #21457699)

* Queries on a table containing an indexed generated column
could fail if the table name contained special
characters. (Bug #21454155)

* When a view was the inner table of an outer join, a JSON
column could produce a non-NULL value when NULL was
expected. (Bug #21448719)

* If JSON_CONTAINS_PATH() was called with a one_or_all
argument of all and a path argument contained a wildcard,
the function found all matches per path, even though in
this case one match is sufficient. (Bug #21442775)

* JSON_SET() and JSON_REPLACE() sometimes produced an
incorrect result if a path expression identified a
nonarray value. (Bug #21442624)

* Suppression of JSON conversion errors using non-strict
SQL mode or INSERT IGNORE could then cause an assertion
to be raised if an empty value inserted into a JSON NOT
NULL column was copied to another JSON column. (Bug
#21437989)

* For debug builds, some spatial functions that accept raw
byte data for spatial arguments (for example, specified
as hex values) could raise an assertion if such an
argument contained extra garbage following valid data.
(Bug #21397107)

* ALTER TABLE could raise an assertion for a table with an
indexed virtual column having a column position greater
than 64. (Bug #21391781)

* Evaluation of virtual generated columns could fail to
evaluate all base columns and result in invalid memory
reads. (Bug #21390605)

* For deeply nested JSON input, ST_GeomFromGeoJSON() or
JSON_VALID() could produce stack overflow. (Bug
#21389101, Bug #21377136)

* Failure to parse a JSON string that contained a
floating-point number with a large, negative exponent
could cause a server exit. (Bug #21384048)

* For debug builds, an incorrect assertion could be raised
during subquery execution. (Bug #21383882)

* For debug builds, a missing error check in
Item_sum_hybrid::fix_fields() caused an assertion to be
raised. (Bug #21383714)

* For debug builds, invoking ST_AsGeoJSON() within GROUP BY
... WITH ROLLUP could raise an assertion. (Bug #21383497)

* JSON_SEARCH() could return incorrect results if an
invalid escape expression was specified. (Bug #21383284)

* For debug builds, a NULL first argument to JSON_SET()
could raise an assertion. (Bug #21381806)

* For expressions of the form (subquery) IN (subquery),
where a subquery could return a JSON value, failure to
handle a row result could cause a server exit.` (Bug
#21376088)

* Failure of JSON_APPEND() to handle a legal condition
could cause a server exit. (Bug #21373874)

* Calls to ST_Buffer() could hang or raise an assertion.
(Bug #21372946)

* The server could exit in unclean fashion if configured to
listen on a TCP/IP port number already in use by another
server instance. (Bug #21368299)

* Certain subqueries as arguments to PROCEDURE ANALYSE()
could cause a server exit. (Bug #21350175)

* A query with a right outer join inside a derived table
might return wrong data. (Bug #21350125)

* Starting the server with --skip-grant-tables (or with
options such as --initialize for which
--skip-grant-tables is implicit) prevented the INSTALL
PLUGIN and UNINSTALL PLUGIN statements from working. (Bug
#21335821)

* mysql_ssl_rsa_setup could create an unwanted .rnd file in
the data directory. (The file is actually created by
openssl, which mysql_ssl_ras_setup invokes.
mysql_ssl_rsa_setup now cleans up the file.) (Bug
#21335818)

* For spatial functions, input polygons were automatically
closed if open. However, the Open Geospatial Consortium
guidelines require that input polygons already be closed.
Unclosed polygons are now rejected as invalid rather than
being closed. (Bug #21327888)

* When a VIRTUAL generated column was added to a table, it
was not ensured that data being calculated by the
generated column expression would not be out of range for
the column. This could lead to inconsistent data being
returned and unexpectedly failed statements.
ALTER TABLE now supports WITHOUT VALIDATION and WITH
VALIDATION clauses to control whether ALTER TABLE
validates the data for a VIRTUAL generated column:

+ With WITHOUT VALIDATION (the default if neither
clause is specified), an in-place operation is
performed (if possible), data integrity is not
checked, and the statement finishes more quickly.
However, later reads from the table might report
warnings or errors for the column if values are out
of range.

+ With WITH VALIDATION, ALTER TABLE copies the table.
If an out-of-range or any other error occurs, the
statement fails. Because a table copy is performed,
the statement takes longer.
WITHOUT VALIDATION and WITH VALIDATION are permitted only
with ADD COLUMN, CHANGE COLUMN, and MODIFY COLUMN
operations. (Bug #21317507)

* Some INFORMATION_SCHEMA queries consumed excessive memory
due to suboptimal query plans and insufficient
materialization. (Bug #21299665)

* With the server configured to send error messages to
syslog or a log file, messages generated prior to error
log setup were sent to stderr or stdout. These messages
are now buffered until error log setup has completed,
then logged to the proper destination. (Bug #21296553)

* Statement digests did not include information about
optimizer hint comments, causing statements with and
without hints to be aggregated. (Bug #21286261)

* Executing a prepared statement using a derived table and
an aggregate function in a subquery in the SELECT list
could cause a server exit. (Bug #21277074)

* GRANT created the account for nonexistent accounts even
if the NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER SQL mode was enabled. (Bug
#21271571)

* ST_SymDifference() with multipolygon arguments could
return incorrect results. (Bug #21263152)

* A query with a NOT IN subquery that had COUNT(DISTINCT)
could return incorrect results. (Bug #21243772)

* When started using a very old data directory (from MySQL
5.0), the server could exit due to failure to properly
read the old grant tables. (Bug #21216433)

* A mulitple-table update involving generated columns that
updated used a temporary table could cause a server exit
or raise an assertion. (Bug #21216067)

* Unit testing now uses Google Mock 1.7 rather than 1.6.
(Bug #21215389)

* For queries containing an expression of the form (x IN
(subquery)) IN (subquery2), a combination of semi-join
and subquery materialization strategies could cause a
server exit. (Bug #21205577)

* If a query contained an outer join such as LEFT JOIN
(t1,t2,...) and a hint was used to disable join buffering
on a right-side table but not on the others, a server
exit occurred. (Bug #21205282)

* For a cursor type of CURSOR_TYPE_READ_ONLY, retrieving
the result set for the first execution of a prepared CALL
staement could be missing the first result set row if the
data was numeric; raise an assertion for debug builds if
the data was string; cause loss of the server connection
when calling mysql_stmt_fetch(). (Bug #21199582)

* Dangling blob pointers could remain when closing an
InnoDB table, resulting in a subsequent read of invalid
memory and a server exit. (Bug #21153489)

* For some operations where sorting or grouping required a
temporary table, the table could have zero columns and
raise an assertion. (Bug #21143151)

* For debug builds, merging a derived table into an outer
query block could raise an assertion. (Bug #21139722)

* Queries containing an expression of the form (x IS NULL)
IN (subquery) could cause a server exit. (Bug #21139402)

* During server SSL file autogeneration, ca.pem briefly had
insecure file permissions. (Bug #21138119)

* An assertion could be raised due to incorrect error
handling if a SELECT ... FOR UPDATE subquery resulted in
deadlock and caused a rollback. (Bug #21096444)

* Selecting the result of an INSERT() function call to
which input was passed as a hexidecimal string could
expose more information than was passed to the function.
(Bug #21056907)

* Subqueries having COUNT() with GROUP BY could yield
incorrect results. (Bug #21055139)

* The updatable property of a view is set during view
creation. If the underlying table was dropped and
re-created as a nonupdatable one, the updatable property
of the original view was not revised accordingly. This
could cause a server exit for attempts to insert or
replace into the view is made. (This problem was specific
to views with multiple tables/views and did not occur
with update statements.) (Bug #21039264)

* The locking functions provided by the version_token
plugin were renamed: vtoken_get_read_locks(),
vtoken_get_write_locks(), and vtoken_release_locks() are
now named version_tokens_lock_shared(),
version_tokens_lock_exclusive(), and
version_tokens_unlock(), respectively.
These functions also failed to have any effect because
they were implicitly unlocked at the end of the statement
in which they were set. (Bug #21034322, Bug #21280801)

* Servers linked against yaSSL and compiled with GCC 4.8.2
could fail to respond correctly to connection attempts
until several seconds after startup.
yaSSL was upgraded to version 2.3.7e. (Bug #21025377)

* When upgrading an old data directory (MySQL 5.0 or 5.1),
mysql_upgrade could fail to properly read the mysql.proc
table. (Bug #20968596)

* For tables with subpartitions, the server could exit due
to incorrect error handling during partition pruning if
the partition could be identified but not the
subpartition. (Bug #20909518)

* mysql_upgrade could fail to look for checked tables in
the wrong database during the repair phase. (Bug
#20868496)

* DELETE could check privileges for the wrong database when
table aliases were used. (Bug #20777016)

* mysqldump used incorrect syntax for generated column
definitions. (Bug #20769542)

* Within a trigger, use of a cursor that accessed OLD or
NEW values from a row could cause a server exit. (Bug
#20760261)

* If a file was specified using an --init-file option,
mysqld --initialize produced errors for statements in the
file such as GRANT that affect user accounts. (Bug
#20546898)

* Failure during execution of an XA PREPARE statement could
result in an invalid XA transaction state. Subsequent
attempts to start another XA transaction led to an
ER_XAER_OUTSIDE error. (Bug #20538956)

* The audit log plugin could audit accounts named in the
audit_log_exclude_accounts system variable. (Bug
#20408206)

* If a generated foreign key index was renamed by the same
ALTER TABLE statement that added a new foreign key with
the same name, the server could exit. (Bug #20146455)

* ALTER TABLE operations that dropped and added the same
FULLTEXT index were not performed as in-place (fast)
operations that avoid using a temporary copy of the
table. (Bug #20106837)

* When the number of days calculated by DATE_FORMAT()
function was negative, the server could exit. (Bug
#19985318)

* ALTER TABLE operations to add or modify columns could
create geometry columns containing invalid data due to
missing validation. (Bug #19880316)

* If range optimization was attempted on an index with a
string column as its first part and values used for
comparison were fully truncated, comparisons would be
incorrect and produce incorrect results. (Bug #19333852)
References: This bug was introduced by Bug #16407965.

* The server could hang due to incorrect cleanup of
aggregate functions used in a query. (Bug #18979515)

* The server could exit while checking for appropriate
indexes to use for certain queries that used aggregate
function in the WHERE clause. (Bug #18706592)

* On Windows, the validate_password plugin could cause a
server exit during the dictionary check. (Bug #18636874)

* Invoking a stored program without qualifying it with the
database name could lead to stored program compilation
errors. (Bug #18599181)

* EXPLAIN of statements containing GROUP_CONCAT() could
cause a server exit. (Bug #17865675)

* The value of the FOUND_ROWS() function that returns the
number of rows found in the previous query could change
during execution of the next query. Now the value of
FOUND_ROWS() for the previous query remains constant
during execution of the next query. (Bug #17846246)

* Failure to check for error conditions could cause some
updates or deletes to result in a server exit. (Bug
#17763238)

* On Windows, heap corruption in the audit log plugin
caused server startup failure. (Bug #14700102)

* If the UPDATE part of INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
swapped two column values, the server could read
incorrect data and exit. (Bug #13901905)

* mysqlpump generated incorrect ALTER TABLE statements for
adding foreign keys. (Bug #78593, Bug #21907297)

* Some stress test files in the
mysql-test/suite/innodb_stress directory had the
executable file mode set although they were not script
files. (Bug #78403, Bug #21822413)

* Subqueries that used a derived table and contained a set
function referring to a column from that derived table
might be aggregated in the wrong query block. (Bug
#78250, Bug #21753180)

* For some inputs, ST_Union() could return an invalid
geometry collection. (Bug #78206, Bug #21689998)

* On non-Windows systems, setting range_alloc_block_size or
query_alloc_block_size to a value larger than 32 bits at
startup could cause a server exit. The maximum value for
these system variables (on all platforms) is now limited
to 2^32 ? 1, rounded down to the nearest multiple of
1024. (Bug #78188, Bug #21682231)

* On Windows, if the MySQL server was started as a service,
logging to the error log file was disabled. (Bug #77977,
Bug #21574096)
References: This bug was introduced by Bug #21328041.

* In the Performance Schema setup_instruments table, it was
possible to set memory instrument to TIMED='YES',
although memory operations are never timed. Now such
attempts are ignored. It was possible to set built-in
memory instruments (with names of the form
memory/performance_schema/%) to ENABLED='YES', although
built-in memory instruments cannot be disabled. Now such
attempts are ignored. (Bug #77944, Bug #21562212)

* mysqldump and mysqlpump output included sys schema stored
programs even when the sys schema was not dumped. (Bug
#77926, Bug #21549860)

* RPM installation scripts if configuration files contained
multiple datadir lines. Now the last datadir line is
used. (Bug #77878, Bug #21527467)

* An unnecessary memset() call invoked during Performance
Schema digest operations has been removed, which improves
performance by reducing overhead. (Bug #77863, Bug
#21528683)

* A potential race condition for the safe mutex
implementation was corrected. This implementation is
enabled by default only for debug builds. (Bug #77862,
Bug #21522888)

* mysqld --initialize produced warnings about missing SSL
files, which is unnecessary because initialization does
not require SSL. (Bug #77825, Bug #21498544)

* When mysqlpump was invoked with the --defer-table-indexes
option, it could generate incorrect CREATE TABLE
statements for tables with a foreign key and a primary
key but not a secondary index. (Bug #77759, Bug
#21462732)

* The server initialization script used for the service
mysql status command on Linux sometimes incorrectly
reported that the server was stopped. (Bug #77696, Bug
#21768876)

* For statements of the form CREATE TABLE ... SELECT, where
the table was defined to contain a DECIMAL UNSIGNED,
calculation of the row size was incorrect, leading to
incorrect values in the table. (Bug #77636, Bug
#21383896)

* A WHERE predicate containing both TRIM(LEADING ..) and
TRIM(TRAILING ...) could be incorrectly optimized away.
(Bug #77631, Bug #21447969)

* For wait events, the Performance Schema uses the CYCLE
timer by default, but failed to fall back to a different
timer if CYCLE was unavailable. (Bug #77577, Bug
#21374104)

* A disk-full condition during execution of a CREATE
TABLESPACE statement caused a server exit. (Bug #77556,
Bug #21347001)

* A privilege precheck for derived tables could fail and
cause a server exit. (Bug #77525, Bug #21338077)

* For some string functions, data was truncated when
evaluated in subqueries due to incorrect space
calculations when creating temporary tables to hold
intermediate results. (Bug #77473, Bug #21317406)

* A predicate of the form WHERE ROUND(X,Y) > 0, where X is
a column name and Y is a program local variable, could
return false when it should return true. (Bug #77391, Bug
#21279005)

* Updating VARCHAR and TEXT columns in the same UPDATE
statement could produce incorrect results. When a VARCHAR
column was assigned to a TEXT column and the VARCHAR
column was then set to a different value, the TEXT
column's result contained the VARCHAR column's new value.
(Bug #77135, Bug #21143080)

* A subquery in a HAVING clause that returned more than 1
row could cause a server exit.
Additional to the bug fix, EXPLAIN now displays Zero
limit rather than Impossible WHERE when optimizing a
query with LIMIT 0. (Bug #76998, Bug #21067109)

* If an INFORMATION_SCHEMA query that performed a
table-open operation encountered a corrupt table and
attempted to repair it, a deadlock could occur, resulting
in an aborted transaction without an appropriate error
being reported. Such queries now do not attempt table
repair. (Bug #76912, Bug #21021848)

* mysqladmin -u root -p could exit with a segmentation
fault. (Bug #76538, Bug #20802751)

* The optimizer sometimes generates an index for a derived
table (subquery in the FROM clause). If this occurred for
a statement executed within a stored program, a memory
leak could occur. (Bug #76349, Bug #20728894)

* Optimizer estimates for filtering conditions could lead
to suboptimal execution plans if the expected number of
rows selected from a table was between 0 and 1. The
estimate is now made to be at least 1. (Bug #76314, Bug
#20701585)

* The optimizer could incorrectly assume an out-of-memory
condition while optimizing a range scan for the OR
operator, resulting in overestimation of the number of
qualifying rows. (Bug #75248, Bug #20229614)

* The Performance Schema events_statements_history table
could have an ERRORS column value of 0 when other columns
indicated there were errors. (Bug #74614, Bug #19929832)

* View creation from a UNION failed with a duplicate-column
error if a SELECT statement in the UNION other than the
first used the same column name multiple times. (Bug
#74539, Bug #19886430)

* Timestamp values written to the slow query log could be
incorrect. (Bug #73974, Bug #19646918)

* When the mysql client was used to connect to the server
in batch mode using an account with an expired password,
the error message was not meaningful. mysql now reports
"Please use --connect-expired-password option or invoke
mysql in interactive mode" in this case. (Bug #72696, Bug
#21464621)

* For UPDATE statements with ORDER BY, the optimizer could
perform an unnecessary filesort on a key that was used
for scanning as well as being updated. (Bug #72518, Bug
#18698556)

* For a query with many range conditions, the optimizer
could estimate that too much memory would be required for
a range scan and fall back to a less efficient full table
scan.
A new range_optimizer_max_mem_size system variable now
controls the limit on memory consumption for the range
optimizer. A value of 0 means "no limit." If an execution
plan considered by the optimizer uses the range access
method but the optimizer estimates that the amount of
memory needed for this method would exceed the limit, it
abandons the plan and considers other plans. (Bug #70247,
Bug #17413040, Bug #17769777)

* Empty XML elements having the form <element/> were not
handled correctly by the LOAD XML statement. (Bug #67542,
Bug #16171518)

* As the number of open MyISAM tables increased, lookups to
check whether a table was open became expensive,
particularly when the table was not open. Lookup
performance has been improved, with the overhead
reduction especially beneficial for selects on large
number of tables with large values of table_open_cache
and table_definition_cache. (Bug #49177, Bug #11757169)
