[ This is part 2 of the announcement ]
Logging Notes * These error-logging changes have been made: + The server is now more forgiving if it cannot find the configured error-message file (specified using the lc_messages_dir and lc_messages system variable). Previously, the server aborted the startup process and exited. Now the server writes a message to the error log and defaults to built-in English messages. This applies to messages the server writes to the error log and sends to clients. + Error logging is being rewritten to use the MySQL component architecture. Traditional error logging now is implemented using built-in components, and logging using the system log is a loadable component. In addition, a new JSON log writer is available. The log components to use are controlled by the new log_error_services system variable. For more information, see The Error Log (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/error-log.html). Bugs Fixed * Incompatible Change: Plugins such as Group Replication and X Plugin now use the mysql.session account added in this version. If you are upgrading from a previous version which did not include the mysql.session account you must run mysql_upgrade to ensure the account is created. If mysql_upgrade is not run, plugins fail to start with the error message There was an error when trying to access the server with user: mysql.session@localhost. Make sure the user is present in the server and that mysql_upgrade was ran after a server update.

(Bug #26197113) * InnoDB: An ALTER TABLE ... ADD PARTITION operation that specified a DATA DIRECTORY clause failed to ignore the TABLESPACE attribute of the table. (Bug #26113652) * InnoDB: When foreign_key_checks is disabled, a child table with a foreign key constraint can be created before the parent table, which can result in a foreign key constraint failure, as the parent table is unaware of the constraint. When a table is created, there is now a call to load foreign key constraints for the table and check for child tables. (Bug #25976199) * InnoDB: A parsing error occurred while optimizing a table with a full-text index. (Bug #25914332) * InnoDB: Compiling MySQL on Windows with Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 or macOS 10.12.4 with GCC 4.2.1 or Apple LLVM version 8.0.0 (clang-800.0.38) returned warnings. (Bug #25910531) * InnoDB: In debug builds, an assertion was raised during bootstrap when the system tablespace file (ibdata1) ran out of space during creation of doublewrite pages. (Bug #25872368) * InnoDB: Incorrect locking order caused a deadlock when InnoDB attempted to persist an auto-increment counter value to disk. (Bug #25833228) * InnoDB: Internal methods for accessing dictionary table object data did not account for virtual columns. (Bug #25822154) References: This issue is a regression of: Bug #23748128. * InnoDB: The length of a virtual column field in a virtual index record was less than the expected template column length. (Bug #25793677) * InnoDB: In debug builds, shutting down the server with --innodb-fast-shutdown=0 raised an assertion. (Bug #25756224) * InnoDB: The ibd2sdi utility exited when run on an unsupported file type. (Bug #25738491) * InnoDB: InnoDB did not set the compression algorithm when opening a partitioned table. (Bug #25685868) * InnoDB: An in-place ALTER TABLE operation failed to set the encryption type, causing a FLUSH TABLES ... FOR EXPORT operation to assert. (Bug #25672779) * InnoDB: A latch that was held while registering a file close caused a hang condition. (Bug #25658467) * InnoDB: During recovery, prepared transactions were rolled back if the innodb_force_recovery setting was greater than 0. (Bug #25651042) * InnoDB: A CREATE TABLE operation that defined a unique key with an eight character prefix on a NOT NULL TEXT field would raise an assertion if a primary key was not defined. (Bug #25647413) * InnoDB: Updates to data dictionary tables combined with updates to InnoDB system tables for full-text search auxiliary tables raised a lock-related assertion. (Bug #25610353) * InnoDB: The server allocated memory unnecessarily for an operation that rebuilt the table. (Bug #25573565, Bug #85043) * InnoDB: Test related code intended to simulate a random read on a non-existent page raised an invalid assertion. (Bug #25479538) References: This issue is a regression of: Bug #25053705. * InnoDB: With foreign_key_checks disabled, InnoDB incorrectly printed messages to the error log when operations were performed on a table that referenced a non-existent foreign key. (Bug #25365223) * InnoDB: A DROP TABLE or TRUNCATE TABLE operation could raise an assertion following a failed online ALTER TABLE .. ADD INDEX operation. The index root page was dropped prematurely. (Bug #25357789) * InnoDB: During a TRUNCATE TABLE operation on a file-per-table tablespace, a dictionary operation lock was released before eviction of dirty pages from the buffer pool, causing a latch order violation. (Bug #25357789) * InnoDB: When using an index merge optimizer switch, a SELECT COUNT(*) operation sometimes returned 0. Partitioning code incorrectly performed a memcpy instead of a column copy of columns read by the index, causing the wrong records to be copied. (Bug #25332330, Bug #81031) * InnoDB: After a RENAME TABLE operation that moved a table to a different schema, InnoDB returned an error on restart indicating that it could not locate the tablespace data file. InnoDB failed to update INNODB_SYS_DATAFILES data dictionary table during the RENAME TABLE operation. (Bug #25189192, Bug #84038) * InnoDB: During an ALTER TABLE operation that rebuilt a table containing a virtual column, InnoDB failed to apply a concurrent insert log record. (Bug #24961167) * InnoDB: InnoDB failed to apply the concurrent delete log for an in-place ALTER TABLE operation due to a virtual column validation issue. (Bug #24960450) * Partitioning: Following execution of an ALTER TABLE ... OPTIMIZE PARTITION statement, names of tablespaces used by the table were not preserved, and subsequent accesses to the table eventually caused the server to fail. (Bug #25512556) * Replication: When replicating a partitioned table with an index, on a replication slave where HASH_SCAN was specified as part of the slave_rows_search_algorithms setting, the slave I/O thread sometimes stopped with an error HA_ERR_KEY_NOT_FOUND. (Bug #26137159) * Replication: A USE statement that followed a SET GTID_NEXT statement sometimes had no effect. (Bug #26128931) * Replication: A misleading warning was issued when the command FLUSH LOGS or PURGE LOGS BEFORE was used on a binary log file with an expiry time set, and the binary log file was in use. The warning related to the file being in use, and implied that a purge attempt had taken place, even if the expiry time had not yet been reached. Now, MySQL checks the expiry time of the binary log file first, and only then checks whether the file is in use. So the warning is only issued for an in-use binary log file that is old enough to be purged. (Bug #25973525) * Replication: When binlog_checksum=NONE was set on a MySQL server after startup, and then Group Replication was started, if an error occurred, the server remained in RECOVERING state and could not be shut down. (Bug #25793366) * Replication: The following Performance Schema replication tables now continue to be populated when the Performance Schema is disabled: + replication_connection_configuration + replication_connection_status + replication_applier_configuration + replication_applier_status + replication_applier_status_by_coordinator + replication_applier_status_by_worker The exception is local timing information (start and end timestamps for transactions) in the replication tables replication_connection_status, replication_applier_status_by_coordinator, and replication_applier_status_by_worker. This information is not collected when the Performance Schema is disabled. (Bug #25694813) * Replication: In a Group Replication setup where circular asynchronous replication was implemented between members of different replication groups, view change log events were repeatedly replicated between the groups with new generated GTIDs each time. The fix ensures that view change log events are ignored outside the named replication group where they occur, and never generate new GTIDs. (Bug #25674926) References: See also: Bug #26049695, Bug #25928854, Bug #25721175. * Replication: When first starting the MySQL server following an installation from RPM, passwword validation plugin is activated by default (true only for RPM installations). If binary logging was already enabled at this time, the activation was logged, even though plugin activations should not be recorded in the binary log. (Bug #25672750) * Replication: The XA START, XA END, XA COMMIT, and XA ROLLBACK statements, used to perform XA transactions, were incrementing the counter for a replicate-do-db filter that named the relevant database. The counter is no longer incremented for these statements. (Bug #25669344) * Replication: In a setup where single-primary Group Replication was combined with asynchronous replication, for example with S1 and S2 forming a group and with S2 and S3 functioning as master and slave, secondaries such as S2 were accepting transactions and these could then enter the group. The fix prevents secondaries creating an asynchronous replication channel when belonging to a single-primary group, and Group Replication cannot be started when asynchronous replication is running. (Bug #25574200) References: See also: Bug #26078602. * Replication: Group Replication failed to start if the super_read_only system variable was enabled. (Bug #25481287, Bug #84733) * Replication: MySQL 8.0 servers were not able to join a replication group that contained MySQL 5.7 servers, and MySQL 5.7 servers in a replication group could not be upgraded to MySQL 8.0. (Bug #25477979) * Replication: In the event that a member failed to join a group the member was not stopping and continued to accept transactions. To avoid this set your members to have super_read_only=1 in the my.cfg file. Group Replication now checks for this setting upon successful start up and sets super_read_only=0. This ensures that members which do not successfully join a group cannot accept transactions. (Bug #25474736, Bug #84728) * Replication: When mysqlbinlog output from a MySQL 5.7 server was applied on a MySQL 8.0 server, the MySQL 8.0 server generated its own timestamp for the original_commit_timestamp. The fix ensures that the value of original_commit_timestamp is correctly set to 0, meaning that the timestamp is not known. (Bug #25316086) * Replication: When an existing GTID_NEXT transaction was assigned a conflicting GTID by the server, Group Replication generated an assert upon detecting two transactions with same GTID. This was because Group Replication generates the GTID after conflict detection, which is later than with master/slave replication. The fix relaxes some conditions to only be called when commit is done and a message has been added to alert you when a GTID has already been used. (Bug #25232042) * Replication: If the server was started with the --log-bin option, discovery of one Performance Schema table with invalid structure caused all subsequently checked Performance Schema tables to be marked invalid as well. (Bug #25041396) * Replication: Interleaved XA transactions could sometimes deadlock the slave applier when the transaction isolation level was set to REPEATABLE-READ. (Bug #25040331) * Replication: The slave_skip_errors system variable did not permit error numbers larger than 3000. Thanks to Tsubasa Tanaka for the patch. (Bug #24748639, Bug #83184) * Replication: The SQL state of ER_TRANSACTION_ROLLBACK_DURING_COMMIT was HY00, which is generic and not suitable for rollback. The SQL state has been modified to 40000. (Bug #24658431) * Replication: mysqlbinlog, if invoked with the --raw option, does not flush the output file until the process terminates. But if also invoked with the --stop-never option, the process never terminates, thus nothing is ever written to the output file. Now the output is flushed after each event. (Bug #24609402) * Replication: A memory leak in mysqlbinlog was fixed. The leak happened when processing fake rotate events, or when using --raw and the destination log file could not be created. The leak only occurred when processing events from a remote server. Thanks to Laurynas Biveinis for his contribution to fixing this bug. (Bug #24323288, Bug #82283) * Replication: Loading and initialization of the Group Replication plugin failed if no root account was present. (Bug #24311527) * Replication: A slave server could lose events not yet applied when MASTER_AUTO_POSITION=0, both replication threads were stopped, and the applier delay was changed using CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_DELAY=N. (Bug #23203678, Bug #81232) * Replication: Transmission of large GCS messages could take so long the sender appeared to have died. (Bug #22671846) * Replication: Multi-threaded slaves could not be configured with small queue sizes using slave_pending_jobs_size_max if they ever needed to process transactions larger than that size. Any packet larger than slave_pending_jobs_size_max was rejected with the error ER_MTS_EVENT_BIGGER_PENDING_JOBS_SIZE_MAX, even if the packet was smaller than the limit set by slave_max_allowed_packet. With this fix, slave_pending_jobs_size_max becomes a soft limit rather than a hard limit. If the size of a packet exceeds slave_pending_jobs_size_max but is less than slave_max_allowed_packet, the transaction is held until all the slave workers have empty queues, and then processed. All subsequent transactions are held until the large transaction has been completed. The queue size for slave workers can therefore be limited while still allowing occasional larger transactions. (Bug #21280753, Bug #77406) * Replication: An incident event that broke replication was not written to the binary log with a GTID, so that it was not possible to skip the event using SET gtid_next=value. Instead, it was necessary to set the relay log file and relay log positions directly; this meant that, when autopositioning was enabled, it was necessary first to disable it, then to set the relay log file and position, and finally to re-enable autopositioning. Now in such cases MySQL writes the incident event into the statement cache, so that a GTID is generated and written for it prior to flushing, and that the slave applier works with the change. Then users can skip the event using the SQL statement SET gtid_next=value, followed by BEGIN and COMMIT. (Bug #19594845) * Replication: Issuing SHOW SLAVE STATUS FOR CHANNEL 'group_replication_recovery' following a restart of a server using group replication led to an unplanned shutdown. (Bug #85739, Bug #25813258) * Replication: Setting an empty filter rule using CHANGE REPLICATION FILTER caused issues when running tests with UBSan. (Bug #85405, Bug #25702297) * Replication: When the receiver thread held a lock on the relay log while queuing an event, clients executing SHOW SLAVE STATUS or SHOW RELAYLOG EVENTS were blocked. (Bug #85084, Bug #25584734) * Replication: Indexes for the Performance Schema replication_applier_status_by_worker table worked correctly only for single threaded replication. This was due to the fact that the indexing relied exclusively on the SQL thread ID regardless of the existence of any workers. Now in such cases, the index also considers worker thread ID when multithreading is enabled on the slave. (Bug #84646, Bug #25444610) * Replication: In certain cases, the master could write to the binary log a last_committed value which was smaller than it should have been. This could cause the slave to execute in parallel transactions which should not have been, leading to inconsistencies or other errors. (Bug #84471, Bug #25379659) * Replication: When using group_replication_ip_whitelist=AUTOMATIC, IPs in the private network are permitted automatically, but some class C IP addresses were not being permitted correctly. (Bug #84329, Bug #25503458) * Replication: The replication applier thread returns Error 3002 ER_INCONSISTENT_ERROR when there is a difference between an expected error number and the actual error number. It is now possible to ignore this error by using 3002 with slave_skip_errors. (Bug #83186, Bug #24753281) * Replication: MySQL lost its GTID position following a restart when a dump from mysqldump had been used to load data. To keep this problem from occurring, the mysql.gtid_executed table is now excluded automatically from dumps made by mysqldump. (Bug #82848, Bug #24590891) * Replication: It was possible to set binlog_format without causing an error when there were open temporary tables. (Bug #82467, Bug #24411680) * Replication: Corruption of relay logs for one channel in multi-source replication caused good channels not to be initalized during a server restart. In addition, when run with --skip-slave-start=false, the server also failed to start slave threads for those channels which were in good condition, despite the fact that it should have started the slave threads for all good channels. Now, regardless of any errors on other channels, the server attempts to create and initialize channels that are in good condition, and starts slave threads for the good channels if --skip-slave-start is disabled. As part of this fix, START SLAVE and STOP SLAVE, which are intended to operate on all channels, are also modified such that they continue executing on all good channels even if they find bad channels among them. (Bug #82209, Bug #24285104) * Replication: The SQL thread was unable to GTID skip a partial transaction. (Bug #81119, Bug #25800025) * Replication: It was possible for FLUSH LOGS to write a Rotate_log_event into an uninitialized log file. (Bug #80368, Bug #22732184) References: See also: Bug #23531998, Bug #81734. * Microsoft Windows: On Windows, the Docs/INFO_SRC file was missing the build-date entry. (Bug #25799855) * JSON: NULLIF() failed with an assertion error in debug builds if the result from this function was used in a JSON context. This result can now be used safely as a JSON value. This fix includes using DBUG_ASSERT() for handling this error instead of DBUG_ABORT(), which caused debugging problems on some platforms. (Bug #25818544) References: See also: Bug #21383497, Bug #21383530. * JSON: The internal Json_array now uses a std::vector instead of a Prealloced_array to store its elements, which reduces the amount of heap space required by them. (Bug #85877, Bug #25867454) * The mysqld_pre_systemd script in RPM packages found the error log setting in option files if specified as log-error but not as log_error, though both are permitted. (Bug #26148391, Bug #86466) * ALTER TABLE ... ADD PARTITION statements could cause a server exit. (Bug #26132947) * SET PERSIST did not work for X Plugin system variables. (Bug #26115672) * REFERENCES privilege checking could use the incorrect database in some cases. (Bug #26106655) * With the gtid_mode system variable not set in a .cnf option file or on the command-line, the server failed to restart after using SET PERSIST or SET GLOBAL to set gtid_mode to ON_PERMISSIVE. (Bug #26085712) * During prepared statement execution, too many bytes of a buffer could be read. (Bug #26042934, Bug #85937) * Dynamic privileges were not loaded when the server was started using the --initialize option. (Bug #26005645) * Debian client packages were missing information about conflicts with akonadi-backend-mysql packages. (Bug #26002288) * mysqldump could write database names in USE statements incorrectly. (Bug #25998635) * If the mysql_stmt_close() C API function was called, it freed memory that later could be accessed if mysql_stmt_error(), mysql_stmt_errno(), or mysql_stmt_sqlstate() was called. To obtain error information after a call to mysql_stmt_close(), call mysql_error(), mysql_errno(), or mysql_sqlstate() instead. (Bug #25988681) * Upgrading from MySQL 5.7 to MySQL 8.0 failed during data dictionary creation due to table names that exceeded the 64 character length limit. (Bug #25973237, Bug #86120) * Queries could be cached incorrectly, leading to incorrect query results, under these circumstances: InnoDB table; rows are being inserted but have not yet been committed; a query uses the table as a base table in a derived table; the optimizer chooses to materialize the derived table. (Bug #25943038, Bug #86047) * mysqld misbehaved if compiled with AddressSanitizer enabled and invoked with --basedir= (that is, with an empty option value). (Bug #25914296, Bug #85994) * The ST_LatFromGeohash(), ST_LongFromGeohash(), and ST_PointFromGeohash() functions did not allow data that originated from a CHAR column. (Bug #25912557, Bug #85981) * Attempting to drop a data file from a tablespace with multiple data files returned a duplicate file name error. (Bug #25858461) * An attribute was added to data dictionary client method declarations to generate compilation warnings when return values are ignored. (Bug #25840927) * The data dictionary class hierarchy was simplified. (Bug #25835968, Bug #85811) * A restriction that prevented the data dictionary object update function (Dictionary_client::update) from being called twice on the same object was removed. (Bug #25833932, Bug #85800) * On Ubuntu platforms, the MySQL service script did not terminate correctly if the user running the script did not have permission to access the data directory or PID file. (Bug #25825833) * String comparison queries on the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CHARACTER_SETS.DESCRIPTION field were case sensitive, which is a regression from earlier releases. (Bug #25824297) * Man pages for a few utilities were missing from Debian/Ubuntu packages. (Bug #25811814) * An INFORMATION_SCHEMA view executed in LOCK TABLES mode, using the SERIALIZABLE isolation level, and with autocommit disabled, failed to use non-locking reads, which could block DDL operations or cause deadlocks. (Bug #25811413) * Table locking failures could occur if tables were used by a trigger for which a trigger of the same name existed in another database and the database names differed only in lettercase. (Bug #25807393) * An in-place MySQL upgrade failed if a .TRG file was missing the created line for the trigger definition. (This problem is unlikely to occur for upgrades to MySQL 8.0 from 5.7 because the created line is present for MySQL 5.7.2 and higher.) (Bug #25805260, Bug #85704) * The field-t unit test failed to run with AddressSanitizer enabled. Thanks to Laurynas Biveinis for the patch. (Bug #25803823, Bug #85678) * Debian client packages were missing information about conflicts with native packages. (Bug #25799475) * The CREATE_OPTIONS column of the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES table was treated as having the binary collation, so functions such as UPPER() and LOWER() did not have the intended result. (Bug #25793429) * After importing a table with DECIMAL column, accessing the table raised an assertion. (Bug #25792649) * ALTER TABLE could fail when the default character set changed to utf8mb4 due to incorrect column length calculations. (Bug #25779239, Bug #85614) * If a server component deinit() method failed, the component was still unloaded. (Bug #25764325) * Stored program execution could fail for DEFINER accounts with expired passwords even if they were locked and could not be used to connect to the server. Now DEFINER accounts are not checked for expired passwords if they are locked. (Bug #25741966) * DISTINCT operations on temporary tables could produce incorrect results due to allocation of too-small comparison keys. (Bug #25740550, Bug #85518) * In optimizer trace output, num_tmp_files did not actually indicate number of files. It has been renamed to num_initial_chunks_spilled_to_disk and indicates the number of chunks before any merging has occurred. (Bug #25733784, Bug #85487) * The Perl path in #! lines at the beginning of Perl scripts has been adjusted to /usr/local/bin/perl for FreeBSD 11. (Bug #25719975) * With the IGNORE_SPACE SQL mode enabled, syntax error messages always reported line 1 as the line number. (Bug #25717617) * mysqldump failed to properly quote certain identifiers in SQL statements written to the dump output. (Bug #25717383) * Dropping a tablespace without that associated tablespace file failed with an error stating that the tablespace dictionary object is invalid. (Bug #25717019) * Client preauthorization by the server was missing a length check for a length-encoded string. (Bug #25714674) * In debug builds, a CREATE TABLESPACE operation raised an invalid assertion when using the NDB storage engine. A validation function that checked for zero-length data files did not apply to NDB tablepaces and was removed. (Bug #25700242) * For debug builds, EXPORT_SET() operations could raise an assertion for some arguments. (Bug #25688192) * For debug builds, the assertion added for Bug#59686 was too strict and could be raised when it should not have been. (Bug #25685958) References: See also: Bug #59686. * A code refactoring in MySQL 8.0.1 caused several assertions to be raised in debug builds. (Bug #25669590, Bug #25669606, Bug #25669580, Bug #25688504) References: This issue is a regression of: Bug #25221172, Bug #84103. * For some double-precision calculations, overflow could occur when calculating the exponent part. (Bug #25664323) * SHOW INDEX output was inconsistent for a FULLTEXT index defined on multiple columns. (Bug #25659276) * During a group commit, the stack could incorrectly be reported exhausted, leading to stack overflow. (Bug #25656875) * When the character set of one string comparison operand was a superset of the character set of the other operand, some comparisons were disallowed that should be permitted by converting the operand with the "smaller" character set to the "larger" character set. utf8mb4 and utf32 are considered to be a superset of any other encoding. (Bug #25642319, Bug #85224) * An in-place (binary) upgrade could change the default character_set_client and character_set_connection variables for stored routines, possibly resulting in different routine behavior. (Bug #25633041) * For debug builds, the partitioning handler could inappropriately evaluate generated column expressions in UPDATE statements, resulting in a raised assertion. (Bug #25615803, Bug #85179) * In strict SQL mode, an ER_TRUNCATED_WRONG_VALUE error could be converted from a warning to an error but then ignored, leading to a raised assertion. (Bug #25586959, Bug #25586673) * Failure occurred for ALTER TABLE on an ARCHIVE table containing a NOT NULL column having a geometry data type. For debug builds, an assertion was raised. For non-debug builds, an error occurred. (Bug #25582178, Bug #85059) * For debug builds, an assertion could be raised for DROP TRIGGER of a trigger for a table used by a view. (Bug #25581925) * For upgrades from MySQL 5.7 to MySQL 8.0, the server wrote unnecessary parsing warnings to the error log. These messages are now suppressed. (Bug #25518436, Bug #84889) * The server exited abnormally attempting to access invalid memory. (Bug #25501659) * The maximum length of the name field in the column_type_elements table in the data dictionary was extended from 255 bytes to 1020 bytes to accommodate long ENUM and SET values that could result from using a multibyte character set. When using a multibyte character set, a single ENUM or SET element occupies a maximum of M x w bytes in the column type definition in the data dictionary, where M is the element literal length and w is the number of bytes required for the maximum-length character in the character set. In prior releases, the maximum supported length of an individual ENUM or SET element depended on the number of elements in the type. Thus, there could be a single element with (M x w) = 64K, or 64K elements with (M x w) = 1. The maximum supported length of an individual ENUM or SET element is now M <= 255 and (M x w) <= 1020, regardless of the number of elements in the type. (Bug #25481355) * With mysqld secured by TCP wrappers and the hosts.allow and hosts.deny files configured to restrict access from an IP address, connection attempts from that address resulted in too many messages to the error log. (Bug #25476479, Bug #84708) * mysqlpump no longer includes the slave_master_info and slave_relay_log_info tables in dumps of the mysql system database. Restoring a dump file containing these tables caused problems by changing the replication state improperly. (Bug #25469190) * Changes made by calling mysql_options() to set MYSQL_OPT_SSL_MODE could be affected by later mysql_options() calls. Now setting MYSQL_OPT_SSL_MODE is unaffected by later mysql_options() calls. (Bug #25452210) * A race condition could occur for CREATE TABLE statements with DATA DIRECTORY or INDEX DIRECTORY clauses. (Bug #25451091) * With AddressSanitizer enabled, compiling the keyring_file plugin produced One-Definition Rule violations. (Bug #25448205) * ALTER TABLE ... MODIFY on a DATETIME NOT NULL column using an AFTER clause resulted in an ER_INVALID_USE_OF_NULL error. (Bug #25385334) * The range optimizer could create an incorrect query tree, resulting in a server exit. (Bug #25369742, Bug #25586531) * mysqld_failed to start the server if the --datadir option was specified with a relative path name. (Bug #25364806) * XA PREPARE, XA ROLLBACK, and XA COMMIT for a transaction from a disconnected session did not take a global commit lock and modified the binary log and InnoDB redo log even when FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK was in effect. This could lead to inconsistent backups when backup tools assumed that the server was in a read-only state. (Bug #25364178, Bug #84442) * GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT) returned nonunique values if the data size was greater than the value of the tmp_table_size system variable. (Bug #25331425, Bug #84320) * The fix for Bug #78777 had different effects depending on whether the Performance Schema is enabled. (Bug #25309017, Bug #84305) References: This issue is a regression of: Bug #78777. * An aggregate function in some nested queries could cause a server exit. (Bug #25303711) * Virtual generated column expressions that used any of the BIN_TO_UUID(), CONV(), or HEX() functions could cause problems if the connection character set was changed. In this context, the table character set is now used for these functions regardless of connection character set. (Bug #25287633) * The Rewriter plugin did not perform locking properly if the read_only system variable was enabled. (Bug #25264253) * With read_only enabled, creation of non-TEMPORARY tables by non-SUPER users was permitted under certain conditions. (Bug #25250768) * For a table having a TIMESTAMP or DATETIME column having a default of CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, the column could be initialized to 0000-00-00 00:00:00' if the table had a BEFORE INSERT trigger. (Bug #25209512, Bug #84077) * On Windows, Time values in SHOW PROCESSLIST output drifted higher over time. (Bug #25101724, Bug #83019) * An assertion was raised when a create function at server bootstrap attempted to evaluate non-resolved expressions. (Bug #24961932) * The number of data dictionary cache lookups was reduced, and ALTER TABLE handling of triggers was improved help ensure trigger persistence in case of a server exit during ALTER TABLE processing. (Bug #24930129, Bug #83473) * Certain queries against InnoDB tables that used a primary key and a subquery could return incorrect results if the index_merge_intersection flag of the optimizer_switch system variable was enabled. (Bug #24829050, Bug #79675) * On x86 machines, the uint3korr() macro read 4 bytes of data instead of the intended 3 bytes. (Bug #24807826, Bug #83264) * An assertion was raised during a fetch operation by the memcached plugin. (Bug #24605783) * Queries that contained UNION in a subquery and GROUP BY could return incorrect results. (Bug #24595639) * Some syntactically incorrect CREATE INDEX statements could cause a server exit rather than a syntax error. (Bug #24593992) * An in-place MySQL upgrade failed if the innodb_table_stats or innodb_index_stats tables were not present in the mysql system database. (This problem should not occur for upgrades to MySQL 8.0 from 5.7 because those tables are present in MySQL 5.7.) (Bug #24557143) * Incorrect behavior could occur for INSERT statements executed in stored-program or prepared-statement context, if the VALUES part of an ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE clause referred to a BLOB value in the INSERT column list. (Bug #24538207, Bug #25361251, Bug #25530880, Bug #25684790) * systemd support scripts in Debian packages contained hardcoded references to the data directory, making it difficult to change the data directory using --datadir. (Bug #24398446, Bug #82417) * MySQL failed to compile under macOS 10.10.5 using Clang. (Bug #24352163, Bug #82340) * If a REPLACE statement tried to update a row in a table containing a virtual generated column of type BLOB, subsequent DML statements could behave incorrectly. (Bug #23573575) * EXPLAIN for single-table UPDATE or DELETE statements could raise an assertion attempting to optimize away subqueries. (Bug #23209903) * For builds with AddressSanitizer enabled, the ST_Simplify() function could attempt to use already freed memory. (Bug #23023817) * Compiler flags were adjusted to eliminate numerous warnings that occurred when compiling the keyring_file plugin using Clang. (Bug #22834591, Bug #80524) * If enabling the Event Scheduler caused an event defined as ON COMPLETION NOT PRESERVE to be dropped because its execution time had passed, the drop event was not written to the binary log, causing slaves not to replicate it and replication failure if an event of the same name was created later. (Bug #22150112) * For some CREATE TABLE ... SELECT statements, adding an ORDER BY clause changed column data types, or caused an assertion to be raised for debug builds. (Bug #16833464) * LOAD XML INFILE performance became noticeably slower when the XML file being read contained a great many spaces, such as those introduced by indenting or pretty-printing. Now all leading whitespace is trimmed from each such value before reading it into memory.
