mysqladmin was added to Docker/Minimal packages because it is needed by InnoDB Cluster. (Bug #25998285)
For Windows, MSI installer packages now include a check for the required Visual Studio redistributable package, and produce a message asking the user to install it if it is missing. (Bug #25658832)

The linked OpenSSL library for the MySQL Commercial Server has been updated to version 1.0.2l. Issues fixed in the new OpenSSL version are described at http://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html.
This change does not affect the Oracle-produced MySQL Community build of MySQL Server, which uses the yaSSL library instead. (Bug #26160962)
The mysql client now supports a
--binary-as-hex
option that causes display of binary data using hexadecimal notation (0x
). Thanks to Daniƫl van Eeden for the patch. (Bug #25340722, Bug #84391)value
mysqlaccess now looks for its configuration file only in the
SYSCONFDIR
directory and/etc
. (Bug #25043674)
InnoDB: The server allocated memory unnecessarily for an operation that rebuilt the table. (Bug #25573565, Bug #85043)
InnoDB: When using an index merge optimizer switch, a
SELECT COUNT(*)
operation sometimes returned 0. Partitioning code incorrectly performed amemcpy
instead of a column copy of columns read by the index, causing the wrong records to be copied. (Bug #25332330, Bug #81031)Replication: A
USE
statement that followed aSET GTID_NEXT
statement sometimes had no effect. (Bug #26128931)Replication: If the binary log on a master server was rotated and a full disk condition occurred on the partition where the binary log file was being stored, the server could stop unexpectedly. The fix adds a check for the existence of the binary log when the dump thread switches to next binary log file. If the binary log is disabled, all binary logs up to the current active log are transmitted to slave and an error is returned to the receiver thread. (Bug #25076007)
Replication: If a relay log index file named relay log files that did not exist,
RESET SLAVE ALL
sometimes did not fully clean up properly. (Bug #24901077)Replication: mysqlbinlog, if invoked with the
--raw
option, does not flush the output file until the process terminates. But if also invoked with the--stop-never
option, the process never terminates, thus nothing is ever written to the output file. Now the output is flushed after each event. (Bug #24609402)Replication: A memory leak in mysqlbinlog was fixed. The leak happened when processing fake rotate events, or when using
--raw
and the destination log file could not be created. The leak only occurred when processing events from a remote server. Thanks to Laurynas Biveinis for his contribution to fixing this bug. (Bug #24323288, Bug #82283)-
Replication: Multithreaded slaves could not be configured with small queue sizes using
slave_pending_jobs_size_max
if they ever needed to process transactions larger than that size. Any packet larger thanslave_pending_jobs_size_max
was rejected with the error ER_MTS_EVENT_BIGGER_PENDING_JOBS_SIZE_MAX, even if the packet was smaller than the limit set byslave_max_allowed_packet
.With this fix,
slave_pending_jobs_size_max
becomes a soft limit rather than a hard limit. If the size of a packet exceedsslave_pending_jobs_size_max
but is less thanslave_max_allowed_packet
, the transaction is held until all the slave workers have empty queues, and then processed. All subsequent transactions are held until the large transaction has been completed. The queue size for slave workers can therefore be limited while still allowing occasional larger transactions. (Bug #21280753, Bug #77406) Linux: The generic Linux build for MySQL 8.0 is now built on Oracle Linux 6 using
glibc
2.12. Systems that use the build need to haveglibc
2.12 or later installed on them. (Bug #26005558)mysqldump could write database names in
USE
statements incorrectly. (Bug #25998635)If the
mysql_stmt_close()
C API function was called, it freed memory that later could be accessed ifmysql_stmt_error()
,mysql_stmt_errno()
, ormysql_stmt_sqlstate()
was called. To obtain error information after a call tomysql_stmt_close()
, callmysql_error()
,mysql_errno()
, ormysql_sqlstate()
instead. (Bug #25988681)Queries could be cached incorrectly, leading to incorrect query results, under these circumstances:
InnoDB
table; rows are being inserted but have not yet been committed; a query uses the table as a base table in a derived table; the optimizer chooses to materialize the derived table. (Bug #25943038, Bug #86047)Man pages for a few utilities were missing from Debian/Ubuntu packages. (Bug #25811814)
The
field-t
unit test failed to run with AddressSanitizer enabled. Thanks to Laurynas Biveinis for the patch. (Bug #25803823, Bug #85678)Debian client packages were missing information about conflicts with native packages. (Bug #25799475)
The Perl path in
#!
lines at the beginning of Perl scripts has been adjusted to/usr/local/bin/perl
for FreeBSD 11. (Bug #25719975)The server exited abnormally attempting to access invalid memory. (Bug #25501659)
A race condition could occur for
CREATE TABLE
statements withDATA DIRECTORY
orINDEX DIRECTORY
clauses. (Bug #25451091)MySQL compilation in different directories produced different builds to leakage of absolute paths into debug information and
__FILE__
. (Bug #25436469, Bug #84608, Bug #25859274, Bug #85855)mysqld_failed to start the server if the
--datadir
option was specified with a relative path name. (Bug #25364806)With
read_only
enabled, creation of non-TEMPORARY
tables by non-SUPER
users was permitted under certain conditions. (Bug #25250768)Certain stored functions, if used in a query
WHERE
clause, could be handled using Index Condition Pushdown (which should not happen), resulting in a server exit. (Bug #25196653, Bug #25174454)On x86 machines, the
uint3korr()
macro read 4 bytes of data instead of the intended 3 bytes. (Bug #24807826, Bug #83264)An assertion was raised during a fetch operation by the memcached plugin. (Bug #24605783)
Queries that contained
UNION
in a subquery andGROUP BY
could return incorrect results. (Bug #24595639)LOAD XML
performance became noticeably slower when the XML file being read contained a great many spaces, such as those introduced by indenting or pretty-printing. Now all leading whitespace is trimmed from each such value before reading it into memory. (Bug #16212207)
