   Obtaining MySQL NDB Cluster 7.3.  MySQL NDB Cluster 7.3 source code
   and binaries can be obtained from
   http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/cluster/.

   For an overview of changes made in MySQL NDB Cluster 7.3, see What is
   New in NDB Cluster 7.3
   (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/mysql-cluster-what-is
   -new-7-3.html).

   This release also incorporates all bugfixes and changes made in
   previous NDB Cluster releases, as well as all bugfixes and feature
   changes which were added in mainline MySQL 5.6 through MySQL 5.6.36
   (see Changes in MySQL 5.6.36 (Not yet released, General Availability)
   (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.6/en/news-5-6-36.html)).

   Bugs Fixed

     * NDB Disk Data: Stale data from NDB Disk Data tables that
       had been dropped could potentially be included in backups due to
       the fact that disk scans were enabled for these.  To prevent this
       possibility, disk scans are now disabled---as are other types of
       scans---when taking a backup. (Bug #84422, Bug #25353234)

     * NDB Disk Data: In some cases, setting dynamic in-memory
       columns of an NDB Disk Data table to NULL was not handled
       correctly. (Bug #79253, Bug #22195588)
