Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Server 5.5.50 is a new version of the 5.5 production release

and crash recovery by default.

MySQL 5.5 also provides a number of additional enhancements including:

  - Significantly improved performance on Windows, with various
    Windows specific features and improvements
  - Higher availability, with new semi-synchronous replication and
    Replication Heartbeat
  - Improved usability, with Improved index and table partitioning,
    SIGNAL/RESIGNAL support and enhanced diagnostics, including a new
    Performance Schema monitoring capability.

==============================================================================
Changes in MySQL 5.5.50 (2016-06-02)


     * Functionality Added or Changed

     * Bugs Fixed

   Functionality Added or Changed

     * The version of the tcmalloc library included in MySQL
       distributions was very old. It has been removed and is no
       longer included with MySQL. (Bug #80994, Bug #23068660)

   Bugs Fixed

     * INSERT with ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE and REPLACE on a
       table with a foreign key constraint defined failed with
       an incorrect "duplicate entry" error rather than a
       foreign key constraint violation error. (Bug #23135731)
       References: This issue is a regression of: Bug #78853,
       Bug #22037930.

     * Setting sort_buffer_size to a very large value could
       cause some operations to fail with an out-of-memory
       error. (Bug #22594514)

     * Several potential buffer overflow issues were corrected.
       (Bug #21977380, Bug #23187436, Bug #23202778, Bug
       #23195370, Bug #23202699)

     * If the CA certificate as given to the --ssl-ca option had
       an invalid path, yaSSL returned an error message
       different from OpenSSL. Now both return SSL connection
       error: SSL_CTX_set_default_verify_paths failed. (Bug
       #21920657)

     * Some string functions returned one or a combination of
       their parameters as their result. If one of the
       parameters had a non-ASCII character set, the result
       string had the same character set, resulting in incorrect
       behavior when an ASCII string was expected. (Bug
       #18740222)

     * A null pointer dereference of a parser structure could
       occur during stored procedure name validation. (Bug
       #79396, Bug #22286421)

     * mysqld_multi displayed misleading error messages when it
       was unable to execute my_print_defaults. (Bug #74636, Bug
       #19920049)
