    Bugs Fixed

      * During backup, loading data from one SQL node followed by
        repeated DELETE statements on the tables just loaded from a
        different SQL node could lead to data node failures.  (Bug
        #18949230)

      * When an instance of NdbEventBuffer was destroyed, any
        references to GCI operations that remained in the event buffer
        data list were not freed. Now these are freed, and items from the
        event bufer data list are returned to the free list when purging
        GCI containers. (Bug #76165, Bug #20651661)

      * When a bulk delete operation was committed early to avoid
        an additional round trip, while also returning the number of
        affected rows, but failed with a timeout error, an SQL node
        performed no verification that the transaction was in the
        Committed state. (Bug #74494, Bug #20092754) References: See also
        Bug #19873609.
