MySQL Community Server 5.6.51 has been released
Dear MySQL users,
MySQL Server 5.6.51, a new version of the popular Open Source
Database Management System, has been released. MySQL 5.6.51 is
recommended for use on production systems.
For an overview of what's new in MySQL 5.6, please see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/mysql-nutshell.html
Starting with 5.6.11, Microsoft Windows packages for MySQL 5.6
are available both as a "full" installer and as a "web" installer.
The full installer is significantly larger and comes bundled with
the latest software releases available. This bundle makes it easy
to download and configure a full server and development suite.
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.
For information on installing MySQL 5.6.51 on new servers or upgrading
to MySQL 5.6.51 from previous MySQL releases, please see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/installing.html
MySQL Server 5.6.51, is available in source and binary form for a number of
platforms from our download pages at
