MySQL Installer Release Notes
The validation of new MySQL user accounts now consistently
requires password confirmation, prohibits adding the
root
account, and allows for a blank or empty
password (along with a security warning).
(Bug #28507869)
MySQL Installer now ensures that the server performs a clean shutdown after a database upgrade. (Bug #22307443)
During the initial installation of MySQL Server (Commercial Edition), no validation was performed when an attempt was made to add a Windows authenticated user account. This fix re-enables and extends validation of the Windows security tokens for Active Directory users by an administrator within the domain. (Bug #16313719, Bug #28641545)
Important Note: An error in the product manifest prevented the configuration of MySQL 8.0 and 5.7 server instances from finishing successfully. The server instance was installed properly, but it was not configured.
Workaround: Connect to the internet and start MySQL Installer. From the MySQL Installer dashboard, click Catalog to retrieve the latest product catalog files (see MySQL Installer Dashboard).
The MySQL Router test connection failed to connect when SSL was enabled, but SSL connections were disabled by default in MySQL 5.7 Community Edition servers. Now the test attempts an SSL connection only when SSL is enabled on the server. (Bug #28815177)
The default port number in the MySQL Router Configuration step was set to 3306, instead of the 3310 as expected. (Bug #28809484)
Too many MySQL escape characters were added to the query
representing the domain user during the configuration of a new
Windows user with double backslash characters
(\\
) in the token. MySQL Installer rejected the token
identifying the Windows user. Now both single and double
backslash characters are supported
(domain
\
user
and
domain
\\
user
)
when specifying a Windows authenticated user.
(Bug #28796846)
The templates that MySQL Installer uses to generate the
my.ini
file now include improved comments
for the lower_case_table_names
server system variable that can be configured only when
initializing the server. On Windows the default value is
lower_case_table_names=1
.
(Bug #28790404, Bug #92773)
The link to documentation within the my.ini
file now is redirected to MySQL 8.0 documentation when a server
in the MySQL 8.0 release series is installed.
(Bug #28776928, Bug #92739)
The option to add and remove features of installed MySQL products could not be combined within the same operation using the
button. Product features could be added or removed, but only as separate operations. (Bug #28677770)An error was generated when MySQL Shell was removed and then reinstalled. (Bug #28451748)
Dialog boxes that prompt for confirmation during some MySQL product removal operations were not visible and blocked the operation unless Alt+Tab was used to cycle the running process to the foreground. (Bug #27876817)
The two options listed in the My Oracle Support Authentication step (Yes or No) enabled the selection of contradictory behavior for both options at the same time. (Bug #25143968)
