MySQL Installer Release Notes
The Open firewall port for network access (enabled by default) option would open the firewall ports even when this option was unchecked. Now, if unchecked, the Installer will look for existing MySQL firewall rules and remove them. (Bug #21554742)
Executing MySQL Installer from the command line would not function if the
installdir
and datadir
options contained a colon (":") character, which caused the
execution to fail. Paths now work with and require double
quotes, such as installdir="C:\MySQL\MySQL Server
5.6", to function.
(Bug #21196557, Bug #21381036, Bug #77629)
The upgrade process would suggest Alpha, Beta, and RC releases as upgrades to GA products. (Bug #21147256)
Executing the MySQL Installer MSI with CONSOLEARGS, or in quiet mode, would fail to unpack the product manifest (catalog). (Bug #19919840, Bug #19598843, Bug #74623)
The MySQL Utilities and MySQL Fabric installation path incorrectly contained the point release number (x.y.Z) and also appended an extra major version number (x.y) to the end of the path. (Bug #19658970)
The default max_connection
variable was
changed from 100 to 151 for MySQL server 5.6 and above. The
value is still set to 100 for MySQL server 5.5 and below.
