Improvements

  • PS-8007: Percona Server for MySQL can fail to start if the server starts before the network mounts the datadir or a local mount of the datadir.

  • PS-7856: A partition table update caused a server exit.

  • PS-7890: When the server was started with the –loose-rocksdb_persistent_cache_size_mb option, the RocksDB engine plugin installation failed.

Packaging Notes

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (and derivative Linux distributions) are no longer supported.

  • Debian 9 is no longer supported.

Known issues

  • The RPM packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (and compatible derivatives) do not support TLSv1.3, as it requires OpenSSL 1.1.1, which is currently not available on this platform.
