Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Enterprise Backup v3.12.1, a new version of the online MySQL backup
tool, is now available for download from the My Oracle Support (MOS) website
as our latest GA release. This release will be available on eDelivery (OSDC)
after the next upload cycle. MySQL Enterprise Backup is a commercial
extension to the MySQL family of products.

A brief summary of the changes in MySQL Enterprise Backup (MEB)
version 3.12.1 is given below.

Functionality Added or Changed                        2015-06-29

     Security Notes

     * Security Fix: MySQL Enterprise Backup has been updated to
       use OpenSSL version 1.0.1m, which has been publicly
       reported as not vulnerable to CVE-2015-0286
       (http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-20
       15-0286). (Bug #20747721, CVE-2015-0286)

   Bugs Fixed

     * An incremental partial backup failed if the
       --incremental-base option was used. (Bug #20868507)

     * When creating an incremental backup on a Windows platform
       using the --incremental-base=dir:directory_path option,
       if the end_lsn value for the last backup was 2^32 or
       larger, the value was retrieved as 2^32-1 by mysqlbackup.
       This was because mysqlbackup converted the value from
       string into long integer, instead of long long integer.
       This fix corrects the data type used during the
       conversion. (Bug #20839829)

     * A backup failed with the error message "Failed trying to
       flush for export" if the names of any table mysqlbackup
       tried to back up contained special characters (spaces,
       dashes, periods, dollar signs, etc.). With this fix,
       table names with special characters are now supported.
       (Bug #20454754, Bug #75722)

     * A validate operation always failed for a compressed image
       backup with the complaint that the data file fragments
       were corrupted when the compressed image was big enough
       to be broken down into multiple fragments. This was
       because mysqlbackup failed to recognize the file name
       extensions of the compressed fragments, and that has been
       corrected by this fix. (Bug #19796216)

     * When the --include-tables or --exclude-tables option was
       provided with a regular expression for table names
       containing special characters, mysqlbackup was handling
       the special characters incorrectly, and hence table names
       were not filtered properly and tables were copied
       incorrectly. With this fix, mysqlbackup handles and
       filters the table names properly and takes backups of the
       matching tables. (Bug #19765644, Bug #11762160)
