MySQL Community Server 5.7.16 has been released
Dear MySQL users,
MySQL Server 5.7.16, a new version of the popular Open Source
Database Management System, has been released. MySQL 5.7.16 is
recommended for use on production systems.
For an overview of what's new in MySQL 5.7, please see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysql-nutshell.html
For information on installing MySQL 5.7.16 on new servers, please see
the MySQL installation documentation at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/installing.html
MySQL Server 5.7.16 is available in source and binary form for a number of
platforms from our download pages at
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
MySQL Server 5.7.16 is also available from our repository for Linux
platforms, go here for details:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/
Windows packages are available via the Installer for Windows or .ZIP
(no-install) packages for more advanced needs. The point and click
configuration wizards and all MySQL products are available in the
unified Installer for Windows:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/
5.7.16 also comes with a web installer as an alternative to the full
installer.
The web installer doesn't come bundled with any actual products
and instead relies on download-on-demand to fetch only the
products you choose to install. This makes the initial download
much smaller but increases install time as the individual products
will need to be downloaded.
We welcome and appreciate your feedback, bug reports, bug fixes,
patches, etc.:

Changes in MySQL 5.7.16 (2016-10-12)
Security Notes
* Incompatible Change: For STANDALONE and WIN builds, the
default secure_file_priv value has changed from the empty
string to NULL. This is a secure-by-default setting
because it disables import and export operations. To
permit those operations, set secure_file_priv to the path
name of the directory to use for those operations. (Bug
#24679907, Bug #24695274, Bug #24707666)
* The linked OpenSSL library for the MySQL Commercial
Server has been updated to version 1.0.1u. For a
description of issues fixed in this version, see
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 #24753389)
Functionality Added or Changed
* yaSSL was upgraded to version 2.4.2. This upgrade
corrects issues with: Potential AES side channel leaks;
DSA padding for unusual sizes; the
SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations() OpenSSL compatibility
function failing to handle long path directory names.
(Bug #24512715, Bug #24740291)
