This is a bugfix release, fixing recently discovered bugs in the previous MySQL Cluster NDB 6.1 release.
MySQL Cluster NDB 6.1 no longer in development. MySQL Cluster NDB 6.1 (formerly known as “MySQL Cluster Carrier Grade Edition 6.1.x”) is no longer being developed or maintained; if you are using a MySQL Cluster NDB 6.1 release, you should consider upgrading to MySQL Cluster NDB 6.2 or 6.3.
This Beta release incorporates all bugfixes and changes made in previous MySQL Cluster NDB 6.1 releases, as well as all bugfixes and feature changes which were added in mainline MySQL 5.1 through MySQL 5.1.15 (see Changes in MySQL 5.1.15 (2007-01-25)).
Please refer to our bug database at http://bugs.mysql.com/ for more details about the individual bugs fixed in this version.

Cluster API:
It is now possible to specify the transaction coordinator when
starting a transaction. See
Ndb::startTransaction(), for more

Data node memory allocation has been improved. On 32-bit
platforms, it should now be possible to use close to 3GB RAM for
IndexMemory and
DataMemory combined.
Bugs Fixed
An inadvertent use of unaligned data caused ndb_restore to fail on some 64-bit platforms, including Sparc and Itanium-2. (Bug #26739)
Using only the --print_data
option (and no other options) with
ndb_restore caused
ndb_restore to fail.

References: This bug was introduced by Bug #14612.
Assigning a node ID greater than 63 to an SQL node caused an out of bounds error in mysqld. It should now be possible to assign to SQL nodes node IDs up to 255. (Bug #26663)
