MySQL Community Server 8.0.19 has been released, part 2/2
Posted by: Bjørn Munch

[ This is part 2, section "Bugs Fixed" ]

     * Partitioning: When upgrading a database with a
       subpartitioned table from MySQL 8.0.16 or lower and then
       executing ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN, an assertion or error
       would occur. (Bug #30360695, Bug #97054)

     * Partitioning: During upgrade of partitioned tables from
       MySQL 5.7 to 8.0, when a prefix key was used by the
       partitioning function, the prefix length was ignored, and
       the full column length was considered instead.
       Consequently, the table might incorrectly be rejected
       from being upgraded because its partition field length
       was found to be too large. (Bug #29941988, Bug #95921)

     * Partitioning: ALTER TABLE ... EXCHANGE PARTITION could
       cause indexes to become corrupted. This was due to the
       fact that the server assumed that the order in which an
       index is created in a partitioned table is the same as
       that of the table which is not partitioned. This led to
       the wrong index data being exchanged. (Bug #29706669)

     * Replication: When a member is joining or rejoining a
       replication group, if Group Replication detects an error
       in the distributed recovery process (during which the
       joining member receives state transfer from an existing
       online member), it automatically switches over to a new
       donor, and retries the state transfer. The number of
       times the joining member retries before giving up is set
       by the group_replication_recovery_retry_count system
       variable. The Performance Schema table
       replication_applier_status_by_worker displays the error
       that caused the last retry. Previously, this error was
       only shown if the group member was configured with
       parallel replication applier threads (as set by the
       slave_parallel_workers system variable). If the group
       member was configured with a single applier thread, the
       error was cleared after each retry by an internal RESET
       SLAVE operation, so it could not be viewed. This was also
       the case for the output of the SHOW SLAVE STATUS command
       whether there were single or multiple applier threads.
       The RESET SLAVE operation is now no longer carried out
       after retrying distributed recovery, so the error that
       caused the last retry can always be viewed. (Bug
       #30517160, Bug #30517172)

     * Replication: An assertion was raised when privilege
       checks were carried out for a replication channel if the
       slave had more columns in the relevant table than the
       master. The check now references the number of columns in
       the event, rather than in the table definition. (Bug
       #30343310)

     * Replication: When a replication group member leaves a
       group, either because STOP GROUP_REPLICATION was issued
       or due to an error, Group Replication now stops the
       binary log dump thread so that the former group member
       cannot send unwanted binary log data to the members that
       have remained in the group. (Bug #30315614)

     * Replication: Replication connection parameters that are
       held in the mysql.slave_relay_log_info table are now
       preserved in the event of a server crash or deliberate
       restart after issuing RESET SLAVE but before issuing
       START SLAVE. This action applies to the
       PRIVILEGE_CHECKS_USER account setting for replication
       privilege checks (introduced in MySQL 8.0.18) and the
       REQUIRE_ROW_FORMAT setting (introduced in MySQL 8.0.19).
       Note that if relay_log_info_repository=FILE is set on the
       server (which is not the default and is deprecated),
       replication connection parameters are not preserved in
       this situation. (Bug #30311908)

     * Replication: When a replication channel is secured by
       specifying a PRIVILEGE_CHECKS_USER account, which should
       not have ACL privileges, a GRANT statement that is
       replicated to the channel causes the replication applier
       to stop. In this situation, the behavior was correct but
       an assertion was being raised. The assertion has now been
       removed. (Bug #30273684)

     * Replication: When Group Replication was started following
       either provisioning with a cloning operation, execution
       of RESET MASTER, or removal of a partial transaction from
       the relay log, RESET SLAVE ALL was used internally to
       clear any unwanted state on the server. However, in MySQL
       8.0.18, this caused any PRIVILEGE_CHECKS_USER account
       that was specified for a Group Replication channel to be
       removed. RESET SLAVE is now used instead, which does not
       remove the account. (Bug #30262225)

     * Replication: For multithreaded replication slaves,
       setting slave_preserve_commit_order=1 now preserves the
       order of statements with an IF EXISTS clause when the
       object concerned does not exist. Previously, these
       updates might have committed before transactions that
       preceded them in the relay log, which might have resulted
       in gaps in the sequence of transactions that have been
       executed from the slave's relay log. (Bug #30262096)

     * Replication: When privilege checks were carried out for a
       replication channel, the permissions required for setting
       the session value of the sql_require_primary_key system
       variable were not being checked. The check is now carried
       out. (Bug #30254917)

     * Replication: A memory leak could occur when a failed
       replication group member tried to rejoin a minority group
       and was disallowed from doing so. (Bug #30162547, Bug
       #96471)

     * Replication: When a group member rejoins a replication
       group, it begins the distributed recovery process by
       checking the relay log for its group_replication_applier
       channel for any transactions that it already received
       from the group, and applying these. The joining member
       then initiates state transfer from an existing online
       member, which might begin with a remote cloning
       operation. Previously, the group_replication_applier
       channel was not explicitly stopped when a remote cloning
       operation was started, so it was possible that the
       applier might still be applying existing transactions at
       that time, which might lead to errors. The
       group_replication_applier channel is now stopped before a
       remote cloning operation is requested, and restarted when
       the distributed recovery process moves on to state
       transfer from a donor's binary log. (Bug #30152028)

     * Replication: If STOP GROUP_REPLICATION was issued while
       the member's XCom port was blocked, the XCom thread hung
       and the shutdown did not complete. XCom is now terminated
       in this situation. (Bug #30139794)

     * Replication: When Group Replication is running in
       single-primary mode, and a new primary server is elected,
       the messages logged at this time now provide the newly
       elected primary server's gtid_executed set, and the set
       of GTIDs retrieved by the replication applier. (Bug
       #30049310)

     * Replication: The slave status logs
       mysql.slave_relay_log_info (the relay log info log) and
       mysql.slave_worker_info (the slave worker log) are now
       copied from the donor to the recipient during a local or
       remote cloning operation. The slave status logs hold
       information that can be used to resume replication
       correctly after the cloning operation, including the
       relay log position from which to restart replication, the
       PRIVILEGE_CHECKS_USER account setting, and the new
       REQUIRE_ROW_FORMAT setting. Note that the relay logs
       themselves are not copied from the donor to the
       recipient, only the information about them that is held
       in these tables. Also note that if
       relay_log_info_repository=FILE is set on the server
       (which is not the default and is deprecated), the slave
       status logs are not cloned; they are only cloned if TABLE
       is set.
       Before this patch, the following replication-related
       behaviors occurred on a replication slave that had been
       provisioned by a cloning operation:

          + The default replication channel would fail to start
            if it was the only channel on the slave, because it
            was considered to be not initialized due to the
            missing relay log information.

          + Any PRIVILEGE_CHECKS_USER account setting that had
            been applied to replication channels on the donor
            was absent and had to be respecified.

          + Replication channels that used GTID auto-positioning
            (as specified by the MASTER_AUTO_POSITION option on
            the CHANGE MASTER TO statement) were able to resume
            replication automatically.

          + Replication channels that used binary log file
            position based replication (as specified by the
            MASTER_LOG_FILE and MASTER_LOG_POS options on the
            CHANGE MASTER TO statement) had to have the
            MASTER_LOG_FILE and MASTER_LOG_POS options reapplied
            manually before restarting replication in order to
            resume correctly. If the channels were configured to
            start replication automatically at server startup,
            without the options reapplied they would attempt to
            start replication from the beginning. They were
            therefore likely to attempt to replicate data that
            had already been copied to the slave by the cloning
            operation, causing replication to stop and possibly
            corrupting the data on the slave.
       With this patch, the following replication-related
       behaviors now occur on a replication slave that has been
       provisioned by a cloning operation:

          + The default replication channel can now always start
            after the cloning operation if it is configured to
            do so.

          + All channels now have the donor's
            PRIVILEGE_CHECKS_USER account setting and
            REQUIRE_ROW_FORMAT setting.

          + Replication channels that use GTID auto-positioning
            (as specified by the MASTER_AUTO_POSITION option on
            the CHANGE MASTER TO statement) are still able to
            resume replication automatically. For Group
            Replication channels, which use GTID
            auto-positioning, an internal equivalent of the
            RESET MASTER statement is now used to ensure that
            replication resumes optimally.

          + Replication channels that use binary log file
            position based replication now have the correct
            MASTER_LOG_FILE and MASTER_LOG_POS options in place
            after cloning. Because the relay logs themselves are
            not cloned, these channels now attempt to carry out
            the relay log recovery process, using the cloned
            relay log information, before restarting
            replication. For a single-threaded slave
            (slave_parallel_workers is set to 0), relay log
            recovery should succeed in the absence of any other
            issues, enabling the channel to resume replication
            correctly. For a multithreaded slave
            (slave_parallel_workers is greater than 0), relay
            log recovery is likely to fail because it cannot
            usually be completed automatically, but an
            informative error message is issued, and the data
            will not be corrupted.
       (Bug #29995256, Bug #30510766)

     * Replication: An internal deadlock could occur on a
       multi-threaded replication slave when the
       relay_log_space_limit system variable was set to limit
       the size of relay logs on the slave, and the coordinator
       thread acquired locks related to this limit and to the
       end position of the log. (Bug #29842426)

     * Replication: If a replication group member stops
       unexpectedly and is immediately restarted (for example,
       because it was started with mysqld_safe), it
       automatically attempts to rejoin the group if
       group_replication_start_on_boot=on is set. Previously, if
       the restart and rejoin attempt took place before the
       member's previous incarnation had been expelled from the
       group, the member could not rejoin. Now in this scenario,
       Group Replication automatically uses a Group
       Communication System (GCS) feature to retry the rejoin
       attempt for the member 10 times, with a 5-second interval
       between each retry. This should cover most cases and
       allow enough time for the previous incarnation to be
       expelled from the group, letting the member rejoin. Note
       that if the group_replication_member_expel_timeout system
       variable is set to specify a longer waiting period before
       the member is expelled, the automatic rejoin attempts
       might still not succeed. (Bug #29801773)

     * Replication: If a replication slave was set up using a
       CHANGE MASTER TO statement that did not specify the
       master log file name and master log position, then shut
       down before START SLAVE was issued, then restarted with
       the option --relay-log-recovery set, replication did not
       start. This happened because the receiver thread had not
       been started before relay log recovery was attempted, so
       no log rotation event was available in the relay log to
       provide the master log file name and master log position.
       In this situation, the slave now skips relay log recovery
       and logs a warning, then proceeds to start replication.
       (Bug #28996606, Bug #93397)

     * macOS: On macOS, configuring MySQL with -DWITH_SSL=system
       caused mysql_config output to incorrectly include
       internal CMake names for the static SSL libraries. (Bug
       #30541879, Bug #97632)

     * macOS: Builds on macOS with Ninja could fail with an
       error trying to create a symbolic link multiple times.
       (Bug #30368985)

     * Microsoft Windows; JSON: On Windows platforms, memory
       used for a multi-valued index was not released after the
       table containing it was dropped. (Bug #30227756)

     * Microsoft Windows: On Windows, -DWITH_SSL=system failed
       to find the installed OpenSSL headers if Strawberry Perl
       was installed. (Bug #30359287)

     * Microsoft Windows: On Windows, the -DWITH_SSL=system
       option did not work if the path name leading to the
       system OpenSSL libraries contained a space. This is now
       handled. Also, -DWITH_SSL=yes is treated like
       -DWITH_SSL=system, as on other platforms. (Bug #30261942,
       Bug #96739)

     * Microsoft Windows: MSVC 2019 produced garbled source file
       names for compilation errors. A workaround in the CMake
       configuration was implemented to correct for this. (Bug
       #30255096, Bug #96720)

     * JSON: Updating a value in a JSON column by replacing a
       character string element with a binary string containing
       the same byte sequence as the utf8mb4 representation of
       the character string had no effect.
       The root cause of this issue was a change in the behavior
       of comparisons between JSON strings and JSON opaque
       values introduced by the implementation of multi-valued
       indexes in MySQL 8.0.17, previous to which, JSON strings
       and JSON opaque values were never considered equal. After
       the change, they were considered equal if their binary
       data matched.
       An analysis of this change showed that it was not needed;
       in addition, the new behavior conflicted with the
       existing documentation for comparisons of JSON values.
       This issue is fixed by restoring the original behavior.
       (Bug #30348554)

     * JSON: A view that used JSON_TABLE() did not preserve the
       character set in which JSON path arguments were encoded.
       This meant that, if the view was evaluated with a
       different character set in effect from the one in which
       it was defined, it could produce wrong results. This is
       fixed by ensuring that JSON_TABLE() preserves the
       original character set in such cases. (Bug #30310265)

     * JSON: Adding a functional index on a JSON column changed
       the collation used for comparing strings, causing the
       result returned by the same query selecting the column to
       differ from that obtained without the index. (Bug
       #29723353)

     * JSON: If the first argument to JSON_TABLE() was const
       during the execution of a stored procedure, but not
       during preparation, it was not re-evaluated when a
       statement was subsequently executed again, causing an
       empty result to be returned each time following the first
       execution of the procedure. (Bug #97097, Bug #30382156)

     * JSON: In some cases, such as when a query uses FORCE
       INDEX, the cost of reading the table is DBL_MAX; this was
       rounded up to 2e308 when printed, which is too large for
       the JSON parser, so that it was not possible to extract
       parts of the optimizer trace using a query such as SELECT
       JSON_EXTRACT(trace, '$**.table_scan') FROM
       INFORMATION_SCHEMA.OPTIMIZER_TRACE. Now in such cases,
       values greater than 1.5e308 are rounded down and printed
       as 1e308 instead. (Bug #96751, Bug #30226767)

     * After upgrading from MySQL 5.7 to MySQL 8.0, a CLONE
       INSTANCE operation failed with the following error: ERROR
       3862 (HY000): Clone Donor Error: 1016 : Can't open file:
       './undo001'. The upgrade process left behind orphaned
       in-memory undo tablespaces.
       Thanks to Satya Bodapati for the contribution. (Bug
       #30602218, Bug #97784, Bug #30239255, Bug #96637)

     * The thread_pool plugin used display widths in definitions
       for integer columns of Performance Schema tables. This
       resulted in warnings written to the error log because
       integer column display widths are now deprecated. (Bug
       #30597673)

     * The MySQL optimizer's hash join algorithm uses the join
       buffer to store intermediate results. If this buffer
       overflows, the server uses a spill-to-disk algorithm,
       which writes one of the hash join operands to a temporary
       file, to handle this gracefully. If one of the operands
       was a table that was a member of a pushed join operation,
       this strategy conflicted with the pushed join requirement
       for all child result rows to use nested-loop reads
       whenever one of their pushed join ancestors was the
       current row in the join evaluation, which could in some
       cases result in incorrect query results being returned.
       (Bug #30573733)

     * Access to the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VIEWS table was not
       properly restricted to the correct user. (Bug #30542333)

     * When creating hash values used for lookups during a hash
       join, the server did not respect the PAD SPACE attribute,
       meaning that 'foo' and 'foo ' did not match when using a
       PAD SPACE collation. This is fixed by padding all strings
       up to the same length as the longest possible string,
       where the longest possible string is deduced from the
       data type length specifier N in CHAR(N) or VARCHAR(N).
       (Bug #30535541)

     * When retrieving large result sets containing DECIMAL
       columns from a secondary engine, conversion of the column
       values to strings for transport over the text protocol
       acted as a bottleneck. The performance of the functions
       responsible for such conversions has been improved in
       some cases by as much as 50%, as reflected in internal
       testing. (Bug #30528427)

     * When the FORMAT_PICO_TIME() function was invoked to
       process several rows, once a NULL argument was found in a
       row, every result after that was set to NULL. (Bug
       #30525561)

     * When a Performance Schema event was timed, the event
       duration reported in events_xxx tables could be NULL
       instead of 0 for events where the timer start and end
       values are equal. (Bug #30525560)

     * Adding a LIMIT clause to a parenthesized query suppressed
       locking clauses within the parentheses. For example, this
       query would not lock the table:
(SELECT ... FOR UPDATE) LIMIT ...;
       Adding a LIMIT clause outside of a parenthesized query is
       intended to override a LIMIT clause within the
       parentheses. However, the outer LIMIT suppressed ORDER BY
       within the parentheses as well. For example, for this
       query, the ORDER BY was suppressed:
(SELECT ... ORDER BY ... LIMIT a) LIMIT b;
       Now inner locking and ORDER BY clauses are not suppressed
       by an outer LIMIT clause. (Bug #30521098, Bug #30521803)

     * When optimizer extracts conditions on constant tables for
       early evaluation, it does not include WHERE conditions
       that are expensive to evaluate, including conditions
       involving stored functions. When the extracted condition
       evaluated to true because it involved only const tables,
       the entire WHERE condition was incorrectly removed. Now
       in such cases, a check for expensive conditions is
       performed prior to any removal of the WHERE condition.
       (Bug #30520714)

     * When a lateral materialized derived table used DISTINCT,
       the derived table was not rematerialized for each outer
       row as expected. (Bug #30515233)

     * EXPLAIN ANALYZE did not work correctly with a common
       table expression using WITH RECURSIVE. (Bug #30509580)

     * The GNU gold loader could cause memory exhaustion on some
       platforms. Now it is used by default only on Intel 64-bit
       platforms. (Bug #30504760, Bug #96698)

     * Some Linux platforms experienced high overhead with
       EXPLAIN ANALYZE due to use of a system call by libstdc++
       instead of clock_gettime(). (Bug #30483025)

     * On Solaris 11.4, the LDAP authentication plugins could
       not be built. (Bug #30482553)

     * Queries that used the MEMBER OF() operator were not
       always handled correctly. (Bug #30477993)

     * Boost compilation failed under Visual Studio due to a
       Boost workaround for a VC++ 2013 bug that has since been
       fixed. The workaround is now patched for Boost
       compilation with MySQL. (Bug #30474056, Bug #97391)

     * When retrieving large result sets containing many
       integers from a secondary engine, conversion of the
       integers to strings for sending over the text protocol
       could act as a bottleneck. To avoid this problem, the
       performance of internal functions performing such
       conversions has been improved. (Bug #30472888)

     * Docker packages were missing the LDAP authentication
       plugins. (Bug #30465247)

     * Corrected a typo in a mysys/my_handler_errors.h error
       message. Thanks to Nikolai Kostrigin for the
       contribution. (Bug #30462329, Bug #97361)

     * A GTID table update while innodb_force_recovery was
       enabled caused a debug assertion failure. (Bug #30449531,
       Bug #97312)

     * MySQL failed to compile against Protobuf 3.10. (Bug
       #30428543, Bug #97246)

     * Buffered log lines during system startup could be lost.
       (Bug #30422941, Bug #97225)

     * If the mysql.user system table was renamed, the server
       could exit. (Bug #30418070)

     * Revoking a role specified with no host name could cause a
       server exit. (Bug #30416389)

     * When determining whether to pull out a semijoin table
       when other tables inside the semijoin depended on this
       table, only those semijoin tables which were base tables
       were considered; those in nested joins were ignored. (Bug
       #30406241)
       References: See also: Bug #12714094, Bug #11752543, Bug
       #43768.

     * The AppArmor profile on Ubuntu platforms was not able to
       read the OpenSSL configuration. (Bug #30375723)

     * Some Fedora 30 packages had missing obsoletes information
       that could cause problems upgrading an existing MySQL
       installation. (Bug #30348549, Bug #96969)

     * Altering only the default encryption in an ALTER SCHEMA
       statement caused the schema default character set and
       collation to be reset to the system defaults. (Bug
       #30344462, Bug #96994)

     * Columns declared with both AUTO_INCREMENT and DEFAULT
       value expressions (a nonpermitted combination) could
       raise an assertion or cause a server exit. (Bug
       #30331053)

     * SHOW GRANTS for an anonymous user could result in a
       server exit under some conditions. (Bug #30329114)

     * GREATEST() and LEAST() did not always handle time values
       correctly. (Bug #30326848)
       References: This issue is a regression of: Bug #25123839.

     * The list of subpartitions in partition objects was not
       serialized and therefore not included in serialized
       dictionary information (SDI). To address this issue,
       support was added for serialization and deserialization
       of subpartition dictionary information. The patch for
       this bug also includes minor SDI code refactoring and
       format changes. Due to the format changes, the SDI
       version number was incremented. (Bug #30326020, Bug
       #96943)

     * Following execution of ANALYZE TABLE, the optimizer trace
       for a given query differed when another query was
       executed previously to it, but also after the ANALYZE
       TABLE. (Bug #30321546)

     * innodb_buffer_pool_instances was not initialized
       correctly at server startup if it had been set using SET
       PERSIST or PERSIST_ONLY. (Bug #30318828)

     * A low max_allowed_packet value caused the following
       error: ERROR 1153 (08S01) at line 1: Got a packet bigger
       than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes. The error message was
       revised to indicate the minimum required
       max_allowed_packet value for cloning operations. (Bug
       #30315486, Bug #96891)

     * An assertion could be raised when server code tried to
       send to clients an error code intended to be written to
       the error log. These instances are fixed by sending a
       code intended to be sent to clients. (Bug #30312874)

     * CREATE VIEW did not always succeed when the body of the
       view definition contained a join and multiple subselects.
       (Bug #30309982)
       References: This issue is a regression of: Bug #25466100.

     * Dependency information for SLES 12 RPM packages was
       incorrect, causing MySQL installation failure. (Bug
       #30308305)

     * When restoring GEOMETRY data from hash join chunk files
       to a GEOMETRY column, the server did not copy the data to
       the column, but instead stored a pointer to the data,
       which resided in a temporary buffer, meaning that the
       GEOMETRY column pointed to random data as soon as this
       buffer was reused. Now, the server always copies the data
       from this buffer into the GEOMETRY column when executing
       a hash join. (Bug #30306279)

     * Some ALTER TABLE operations using the COPY algorithm did
       not handle columns with expression default values
       properly. (Bug #30302907, Bug #96864)

     * The CONV() function did not always handle returning the
       proper number of characters correctly. (Bug #30301543)

     * Parser recursion checks were insufficient to prevent
       stack overflow. (Bug #30299881)

     * The removal of a subquery because the condition in which
       it occurred was always false was expected to be performed
       during resolution, but when the subquery did not involve
       any tables, the server executed it while resolving it.
       This resulted in the failure of a subsequent check to
       confirm that the subquery was only being resolved and not
       yet optimized. Now in such cases, the server also checks
       to see whether the subquery was already executed. (Bug
       #30273827)

     * For debug builds, attempts to add to an empty temporary
       table a column with an expression default that was not
       valid raised an assertion. (Bug #30271792)

     * Construction of the iterator tree may yield a
       non-hierarchical structure; this can happen when, for
       example, b and c from a LEFT JOIN b LEFT JOIN c also make
       up the right side of a semijoin. The iterator executor
       solves this by adding a weedout on top of the entire
       query, which means that is is also necessary to iterators
       interacting with row IDs that they need to store and
       restore them. This was not done in all such cases,
       causing wrong results. Now the addition of a top-level
       weedout is always communicated to the iterators as soon
       as it is known that this is being done, before any
       affected iterators are constructed. (Bug #30267889)

     * Foreign key-handling code duplication between the SQL
       layer and the data dictionary was eliminated. A side
       effect is that some error messages now are more
       informative and clear. (Bug #30267236, Bug #96765)

     * During startup, the server could handle incorrect option
       values for persisted variables improperly, resulting in a
       server exit. (Bug #30263773)

     * In some queries involving materialized semijoins, when
       using the iterator executor, conditions were evaluated
       outside the materialization, causing inefficient query
       plans to be used and sometimes also producing wrong
       results. (Bug #30250091)

     * ALTER TABLE statements that renamed a column used in
       CHECK constraints could result in an incorrect error
       message. (Bug #30239721)

     * For SELECT statements, an INTO var_name clause prior to a
       locking clause is legal but the parser rejected it. (Bug
       #30237291, Bug #96677)

     * FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK caused a deadlock when a LOCK
       INSTANCE FOR BACKUP statement was previously executed
       within the same session and there was a concurrent ALTER
       DATABASE statement running in another session against the
       same database specified (implicitly or explicitly) for
       the FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK statement. (Bug
       #30226264)

     * Slow query logging could result in a server exit for
       connections that did not use the classic client/server
       protocol. (Bug #30221187)

     * A statement that added a foreign key without an explicit
       name failed when re-executed as a prepared statement or
       in a stored program with an unwarranted duplicate foreign
       key name error. (Bug #30214965, Bug #96611)
       References: This issue is a regression of: Bug #30171959.

     * With multiple sessions executing concurrent INSERT ... ON
       DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE statements into a table with an
       AUTO_INCREMENT column but not specifying the
       AUTO_INCREMENT value, inserts could fail with a unique
       index violation. (Bug #30194841, Bug #96578)

     * Client programs could load authentication plugins from
       outside the plugin library. (Bug #30191834)

     * When switching between table scans and index lookups,
       AlternativeIterator did not reset the handler, which
       could lead to assertion failures. (Bug #30191394)

     * Setting open_files_limit to a large value, or setting it
       when the operating system rlimit had a value that was
       large but not equal to RLIM_INF could cause the server to
       run out of memory. As part of this fix, the server now
       caps the effective open_files_limit value to the the
       maximum unsigned integer value. (Bug #30183865, Bug
       #96525)

     * References to fully qualified INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables
       could fail depending on the lettercase in which
       INFORMATION_SCHEMA was specified. (Bug #30158484)

     * Slow queries with an execution time greater than 35 days
       could cause corruption of the mysql.slow_log system table
       requiring a REPAIR TABLE operation. (Bug #30113119, Bug
       #96373)

     * MySQL did not support sending systemd notification
       messages to a socket specified using the NOTIFY_SOCKET
       environment variable, if the variable named an abstract
       namespace socket. (Bug #30102279)

     * Using SET PERSIST_ONLY to set a boolean system variable
       to a numeric value resulted in the server being unable to
       restart. (Bug #30094645, Bug #30298191, Bug #96848)

     * A fix for a previous issue combined two TABLE_LIST
       constructors in an unfortunate way. One of these created
       a TABLE_LIST object from a TABLE object representing a
       temporary table. Previously, the table name was made the
       same as the alias; this was changed to copying the name
       from the TABLE object. Due to the fact that, for a
       temporary table, the table name is a file path, it was
       possible to exceed the limit for MDL_key names, leading
       to a failed assertion. Fixed by reintroducing dedicated
       constructors which behave in the manner that they did
       prior to the fix. (Bug #30083125)
       References: This issue is a regression of: Bug #27482976.

     * For UNIX_TIMESTAMP() errors occurring within stored
       functions, the number of fractional seconds for
       subsequent function invocations could be incorrect. (Bug
       #30034972, Bug #96166)

     * When a common table expression contained a
       nondeterministic expression (such one that used RAND())
       and the common table expression was referenced more than
       once in the outer query, it was merged in some cases.
       This caused the common table expression to return a
       different result for each reference. Now in such cases,
       the common table expression is not merged, but rather is
       materialized instead. (Bug #30026353)

     * In debug build of MySQL started on Linux with a
       lower_case_table_names=1 setting, discarding a tablespace
       for a partitioned table after an in-place upgrade from
       MySQL 8.0.16 caused a serious error. The partition
       tablespace name stored in the data dictionary was
       invalid, and the metadata lock key prepared for the
       partition tablespace in MySQL 8.0.17 did not match the
       key stored in the mysql.tablespaces table. (Bug
       #30024653)

     * KILL QUERY could kill the statement subsequent to the one
       intended. (Bug #29969769)

     * With lower_case_table_names=2, SHOW TABLES could fail to
       display tables with uppercase names. (Bug #29957361)

     * The error message reported when attempting to upgrade
       tables with invalid expressions for generated columns did
       not provided sufficient information. The error message
       now includes the generated column name and the expression
       used to create the generated column. (Bug #29941887, Bug
       #95918)

     * Attempting to display an unresolvable view could result
       in a server exit rather than an error. (Bug #29939279)

     * Incorrect checking of temporal literals for CREATE TABLE
       statements could lead to a server exit. (Bug #29906966,
       Bug #95794)

     * Writing unexpected values to the mysql.global_grants
       system table could cause a server exit. (Bug #29873343)

     * The LAST_EXECUTED value in the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.EVENTS
       table was incorrectly reported in UTC, not in the event
       time zone. (Bug #29871530, Bug #95649)

     * With keyring_encrypted_file_password set on the command
       line at server startup, the password value could be
       visible to system utilities. (Bug #29848634)

     * Changing the lower_case_table_name setting when upgrading
       from MySQL 5.7 to MySQL 8.0 could cause a failure due to
       a schema or table name lettercase mismatch. If
       lower_case_table_names=1, table and schema names are now
       checked by the upgrade process to ensure that all
       characters are lowercase. If table or schema names are
       found to contain uppercase characters, the upgrade
       process fails with an error. For related information, see
       Preparing Your Installation for Upgrade
       (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/upgrade-prerequisites.html).
       (Bug #29842749, Bug #95559)

     * Attempting to spawn a thread for a parallel read
       operation while system resources were temporary
       unavailable raised system error. (Bug #29842749, Bug
       #95559)

     * With a LOCK TABLES statement in effect, a metadata change
       for the locked table could cause Performance Schema or
       SHOW queries for session variables to hang in the
       opening_tables state. (Bug #29836204, Bug #92387)

     * A SELECT using a WHERE condition of the form A AND (B OR
       C [OR ...]) resulting in an impossible range led to an
       unplanned exit of the server. (Bug #29770705)

     * For JSON-format audit logging, the id field now may
       contain values larger than 65535. Previously, with
       heaving logging activity, more than 65536 queries per
       second could be executed, exceeding the 16 bits permitted
       for id values. (Bug #29661920)

     * An incomplete connection packet could cause clients not
       to properly initialize the authentication plugin name.
       (Bug #29630767)

     * Out-of-memory errors from the parser could be ignored,
       resulting in a server exit. (Bug #29614521)

     * On Linux, an assertion could be raised when the
       Performance Schema file instrumentation was disabled and
       re-enabled. (Bug #29607570)

     * For a column defined as a PRIMARY KEY in a CREATE TABLE
       statement, a default value given as an expression was
       ignored. (Bug #29596969, Bug #94668)

     * The TABLE_ENCRYPTION_ADMIN privilege, added in MySQL
       8.0.16, was incorrectly granted to the system-defined
       mysql.session user during upgrade. (Bug #29596053, Bug
       #94888)

     * For connections encrypted with OpenSSL, network I/O at
       the socket level was not reported by the Performance
       Schema. Also, network I/O performed while the server was
       in an IDLE state was not reported by the Performance
       Schema. (Bug #29205129, Bug #30535558, Bug #97600)

     * When a query used a subquery that was merged into the
       outer query block (due to a semijoin transformation or
       merge of a derived table), and the subquery itself
       contained a subquery with an aggregate function with an
       aggregation query block that differed from its base query
       block, the query could sometimes fail to return any rows
       unless executed a second time or preceded with FLUSH
       TABLES. This was because, when merging, the information
       regarded tables used and the aggregation information for
       the aggregate function was not updated properly. In the
       case which raised this bug report, this meant that the
       comparison operation containing a scalar subquery was
       regarded as const-for-execution and therefore the range
       optimizer attempted to evaluate it, and the scalar
       subquery contained a MIN() function referring to an outer
       reference which had not yet been read. Thus, when the
       aggregator object was populated, it was based on
       uninitialized data, leading to unpredictable results.
       (Bug #28941154)

     * Changing the mandatory_roles system variable could cause
       SHOW GRANTS in concurrent sessions to produce incorrect
       results. (Bug #28699403)

     * Failure of keyring_aws initialization caused failure of
       SSL socket initialization. (Bug #28591098)

     * Under certain conditions, enabling the read_only or
       super_read_only system variable did not block concurrent
       DDL statements executed by users without the SUPER
       privilege. (Bug #28438114, Bug #91852)

     * For slow query logging, the Slow_queries was not
       implemented unless the slow query log was enabled,
       contrary to the documentation. (Bug #28268680, Bug
       #91496)

     * The current GROUP BY plan is improved so that every gap
       attribute is allowed to have a disjunction of equality
       predicates. Predicates from different attributes must
       still be conjunctive to each other in order to take
       advantage of this enhancement.
       Our thanks to Facebook for this contribution. (Bug
       #28056998, Bug #15947433)

     * In some cases, BIGINT arguments to the FLOOR() and
       CEILING() functions were resolved as the wrong type. (Bug
       #27125612)

     * mysqlpump exits rather than dumping databases that
       contain an invalid view, by design, but it also failed if
       an invalid view existed but was not in any of the
       databases to be dumped. (Bug #27096081)

     * Foreign key information is now retrieved from the data
       dictionary, not from InnoDB. (Bug #25583288)

     * Foreign key definitions used in CREATE TABLE and ALTER
       TABLE statements for InnoDB tables were ignored if the
       statements were wrapped in conditional comments (such as
       /*!50101 ... */ or /*! ... */). (Bug #21919887, Bug
       #78631)

     * The --log-raw option is now available at runtime as the
       log_raw system variable. The system variable is set at
       startup to the option value, and may be set at runtime to
       change password masking behavior. (Bug #16636373, Bug
       #68936)

     * EXPLAIN ANALYZE did not execute subqueries in the SELECT
       list, and thus did not take them into account in its
       calculations of time or cost. (Bug #97296, Bug #30444266)

     * An inner scalar subquery containing an outer reference
       did not return the same result using a nested set of
       SELECT expressions on the right hand side as when using a
       single SELECT that was equivalent. (Bug #97063, Bug
       #30381092)

     * A materialized subquery could yield different results
       depending on whether it used an index. (Bug #96823, Bug
       #30289052)

     * When a query terminated due to exceeding the time
       specified using the MAX_EXECUTION_TIME hint, the error
       produced differed depending on the stage of the query. In
       particular, if the query terminated during a filesort,
       the error raised was ER_FILSORT_ABORT, even though in
       such cases the query should always exit with
       ER_QUERY_TIMEOUT. This made it unnecessarily difficult to
       trap such errors and to handle them correctly.
       This fix removes the error codes ER_FILSORT_ABORT and
       ER_FILESORT_TERMINATED. (Bug #96577, Bug #30186874)

     * If a stored procedure had a parameter named member or
       array, and it had been defined without quoting the
       parameter names, the database in which it was defined
       could not be upgraded to 8.0.17 or 8.0.18. (Bug #96288,
       Bug #30084237)
       References: See also: Bug #96350, Bug #30103640.

     * When a function such as COALESCE() or IFNULL() was passed
       a BIGINT column value, casting a negative return value
       from this function to UNSIGNED unexpectedly yielded zero.
       Our thanks to Oleksandr Peresypkin for this contribution.
       (Bug #95954, Bug #29952066)

     * EXPLAIN output showed Select tables optimized away for a
       query using MAX() on an indexed column, but if MAX() on
       the same column was called in a user function, it showed
       Using index instead. (Bug #94862, Bug #29596977)
