Release Highlights

Improvements and bug fixes provided by Oracle for MySQL 5.7.38 and included in Percona Server for MySQL are the following:

  • If a statement cannot be parsed, for example, if the statement contains syntax errors, that statement is not written to the slow query log.

  • Loading an encrypted table failed if purge threads processed the undo records for that table.

  • There was a memory leak when mysqldump was used on more than one table with the –order-by-primary option. The memory allocated to sort each row in a table is now released after every table.

Deprecation and removal

  • The myisam_repair_threads system variable is deprecated. Values other than 1 (the default) for myisam_repair_threads throw a warning. Support for this variable may be removed in future versions.

  • myisamchk --parallel-recover option is deprecated. Support for this option may be removed in future versions.

Bugs Fixed

  • PS-6029: The data masking gen_rnd_us_phone() function had a different format compared to MySQL upstream version.

  • PS-8129: A fix for when mutex hangs in thread_pool_unix.

  • PS-8136: LOCK TABLES FOR BACKUP did not prevent InnoDB key rotation. Due to this behavior, Percona Xtrabackup couldn’t fetch the key in case the key was rotated after starting the backup.

  • PS-8143: Fixed the memory leak in File_query_log::set_rotated_name().

  • PS-8204: When the audit_log_format was set to XML, logged queries were truncated after a newline character.
