(Bug #16093114)

The Connector/J plugin now supports EXPLAIN DML with MySQL Server 5.6.3 and above. Earlier versions of MySQL Server only supported EXPLAIN for SELECT statements. (Bug #15968762)

The Connector/NET plugin would not function with Connector/NET version 6.5.5 or 6.6.5. The current Connector/NET plugin version was updated from 1.0.4 to 1.0.5. (Bug #16370490)

The MySQL Enterprise Agent no longer supports Mac OS X 10.5. (Bug #16250268)

Unread agent-instance.ini configuration files (due to improper permissions, as '0660' or stricter is required) now logs these as a permission related errors, and refers to the required '0660' or stricter requirement. (Bug #16236601)

The bundled OpenSSL library was upgraded from 0.9.x to 1.0.x. (Bug #16219855)

The bundled MySQL Server has been upgraded to version 5.5.29. The previous version was 5.5.28.

(Bug #16023775)

The Connector/J plugin would occasionally emit an exception that related to the "Query Analysis EXPLAIN Thread Pool." (Bug #15968762)

The deprecated SHOW INNODB STATUS query was updated for the "Too Many Concurrent Queries Running" advisor, and it is now written as SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS. (Bug #15985753)

On Solaris, MySQL Enterprise Agent would sometimes crash during startup (or with --agent-run-os-tests) while CPU information was being gathered. (Bug #16003322)

The Upgrade Advisor was updated to check for Oracle Bug #14636528 (MySQL Bug #66819), which is titled "InnoDB Change Buffering Is Not Entirely Crash-Safe." (Bug #15948756)

On Microsoft Windows 8, the icons were updated for the add/remove programs menu, the start menu, and tiles interface. (Bug #15837695)

The MySQL Enterprise Agent Installer no longer checks for a MySQL Client on the host, as the Installer will always use the bundled MySQL Client. Before it would check the local PATH for the MySQL Client, and use it if found.

(Bug #15839675)

The agent Uninstaller would not remove the bundled MySQL Client library if the --createaccount option was used during the agent installation via the command-line. (Bug #15850473)

The Windows 8 operating system was reported as Windows 7. (Bug #14849158)

The Query Analyzer reported an inaccurate value for "bytes" and "rows" if the result set contained a NULL value in the first column. (Bug #14779754)

The MySQL Enterprise Agent would not properly report memory usage if running inside a Solaris zone. 64-bit versions of Solaris is now supported. (Bug #14810099)

The "Excessive Number of Long Running Processes Locked" rule now supports Metadata locking, when before the rule only looked for sessions with a state of "Locked." Metadata locking exists as of MySQL Server 5.5.3. (Bug #14766751)

MySQL Enterprise Service Manager could not be installed with MySQL Server 5.6, as the installation wizard did not detect the requirements for InnoDB and partitioning support. (Bug #14698648)

On Microsoft Windows, the MySQLEnterpriseTomcat registry keys were not removed when MySQL Enterprise Service Manager was uninstalled. (Bug #14587987)

The have_innodb variable is no longer used, because it does not exist as of MySQL Server 5.6.1. There is no change in Advisor behavior. (Bug #14494817)

The Installer/Upgrader would allow newline characters in the MySQL server password during setup, but MySQL Enterprise Monitor would fail to use them properly. (Bug #14381330)

Upgraded the bundled Tomcat Native, APR, and OpenSSL applications.

The bundled MySQL Client with MySQL Enterprise Agent has been upgraded to version 5.6.10. The previous MySQL Client version was 5.5.16.

This allows the MySQL Enterprise Agent to support MySQL Server 5.6 features, such as the SHA-256 Authentication Plugin.
