This is a new source release, fixing recently discovered bugs in previous MySQL Cluster NDB 6.3 releases.
Obtaining MySQL Cluster NDB 6.3. This is a source-only release, which you must compile and install using the instructions found in Installing MySQL from Source, and in MySQL Cluster Installation and Upgrades. You can download the GPL source tarball from the MySQL FTP site at ftp://ftp.mysql.com/pub/mysql/download/cluster_telco/.
This release incorporates all bugfixes and changes made in the previous MySQL Cluster NDB 6.3 release, as well as all bugfixes and feature changes which were added in mainline MySQL 5.1 through MySQL 5.1.24 (see Changes in MySQL 5.1.24 (2008-04-08)).

Functionality Added or Changed
Event buffer lag reports are now written to the cluster log. (Bug #37427)
Added the --no-binlog option for
ndb_restore. When used, this option prevents
information being written to SQL node binary logs from the
restoration of a cluster backup.
(Bug #30452)
Bugs Fixed
Cluster API: Changing the system time on data nodes could cause MGM API applications to hang and the data nodes to crash. (Bug #35607)
Failure of a data node could sometimes cause mysqld to crash. (Bug #37628)
DELETE ... WHERE
deleted the wrong row from the table.
(Bug #37516)unique_index_column=value
If subscription was terminated while a node was down, the epoch was not properly acknowledged by that node. (Bug #37442)
libmysqld failed to wait for the cluster
binlog thread to terminate before exiting.
(Bug #37429)
In rare circumstances, a connection followed by a disconnection could give rise to a “stale” connection where the connection still existed but was not seen by the transporter. (Bug #37338)
Queries against NDBCLUSTER tables
were cached only if autocommit
was in use.
(Bug #36692)
Cluster Replication:
Data was written to the binlog with
--log-slave-updates disabled.
(Bug #37472)
Cluster API: Creating a table on an SQL node, then starting an NDB API application that listened for events from this table, then dropping the table from an SQL node, prevented data node restarts. (Bug #32949, Bug #37279)
Cluster API:
When some operations succeeded and some failed following a call
to NdbTransaction::execute(Commit,
AO_IgnoreOnError), a race condition could cause
spurious occurrences of NDB API Error 4011 (Internal
error).
(Bug #37158)
Cluster API:
A buffer overrun in
NdbBlob::setValue() caused
erroneous results on Mac OS X.
(Bug #31284)
