Functionality Added or Changed

• The log-bin and relay_log options can now be specified in the [mysqld] section of the server configuration file supplied with the --defaults-file option during a restore operation. However, the values specified that way take lower precedence than the values specified for the options in the [mysqlbackup] section, and values given at the command line override any values given in the configuration file. See Configuration Files and Parameters for more information on the use of configuration files. (Bug #33375015)

Bugs Fixed

• For Windows installations using the .msi installer, the missing INFO_BIN and INFO_SRC files have been added to the docs directory. (Bug #33842889)

• Restoring a table from a TTR backup failed with a "Schema mismatch" error when the default row format of the source and target servers of the backup were different. With this fix, a ROW_FORMAT table option is always included in the CREATE TABLE statement used to restore a table, so that the original row format is always used.

  Note

  With the possible addition of the ROW_FORMAT option to a table that did not have it before, the CHECKSUM TABLE statement may yield different results for the original and restored tables, so the checksum is no longer a reliable way to check if the original and restored tables are identical.
