Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Server 5.6.32, a new version of the popular Open Source
Database Management System, has been released. MySQL 5.6.32 is
recommended for use on production systems.

For an overview of what's new in MySQL 5.6, please see

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/mysql-nutshell.html

      Starting with 5.6.11, Microsoft Windows packages for MySQL 5.6
      are available both as a "full" installer and as a "web" installer.
      The full installer is significantly larger and comes bundled with
      the latest software releases available. This bundle makes it easy
      to download and configure a full server and development suite.

      The web installer doesn't come bundled with any actual products
      and instead relies on download-on-demand to fetch only the
      products you choose to install. This makes the initial download
      much smaller but increases install time as the individual products
      will need to be downloaded.

For information on installing MySQL 5.6.32 on new servers or upgrading
to MySQL 5.6.32 from previous MySQL releases, please see

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/installing.html

MySQL Server is available in source and binary form for a number of
platforms from our download pages at

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/

Not all mirror sites may be up to date at this point in time, so if you
can't find this version on some mirror, please try again later or choose
another download site.

We welcome and appreciate your feedback, bug reports, bug fixes,
patches, etc:

==============================================================================
Changes in MySQL 5.6.32 (2016-07-29)

    Bugs Fixed

      * InnoDB: Full-text search auxiliary tables could be
        dropped by one session while being access by another.
        (Bug #23742339)

      * InnoDB: Selecting full-text index information schema
        tables for a deleted table caused a segmentation fault.
        (Bug #23479595)

      * InnoDB: Rollback of a full-text index synchronization
        operation raised an assertion. The rollback operation
        attempted to acquire a mutex still held by the background
        synchronization thread. (Bug #23320569)

      * InnoDB: Setting innodb_monitor_enable to all did not
        enable all counters. (Bug #22576241, Bug #80083)

      * Replication: When using row-based replication and InnoDB,
        replication slaves reverted to using an older locking
        scheme when a transaction had already acquired an AUTOINC
        lock related to a LOAD FILE or INSERT ... SELECT type of
        statement, reducing replication slave performance. The
        fix ensures that sql_command is set correctly for any of
        the DML events such as WRITE_ROWS_EVENT, UPDATE_EVENT,
        and DELETE_EVENT. (Bug #79324, Bug #22247668)

      * Replication: When using statement-based or mixed binary
        logging format with --read-only=ON, it was not possible
        to modify temporary tables. (Bug #62008, Bug #12818255)
        References: See also: Bug #14294223, Bug #16561483.

      * MySQL Server upgrades performed using RPM packages failed
        when upgrading from MySQL 5.5 Community to MySQL 5.6
        Community or MySQL 5.5 Commercial to MySQL 5.6
        Commercial. (Bug #23736787)

      * The code for reading character set information from
        Performance Schema statement events tables (for example,
        events_statements_current) did not prevent simultaneous
        writing to that information. As a result, the SQL query
        text character set could be invalid, which could result
        in a server exit. Now an invalid character set causes
        SQL_TEXT column truncation. (Bug #23540008)

      * A buffer overflow in the regex library was fixed. (Bug
        #23498283)

      * Certain arguments to NAME_CONST() could cause a server
        exit. (Bug #23279858)

      * For unit-testing with the MySQL test suite, the make
        unit-test command is no longer available. The ctest
        program should be used instead. See Unit Tests Added to
        Main Test Runs
        (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysqltest/2.0/en/unit-tests-fro 
<http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysqltest/2.0/en/unit-tests-from-mtr.html>
m-mtr.html 
<http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysqltest/2.0/en/unit-tests-from-mtr.html>). 
(Bug #23273434)

      * ST_Distance() could raise an assertion for NULL return
        values. (Bug #22760390)

      * With the query cache enabled, executing a prepared
        statement with CURSOR_TYPE_READ_ONLY and then again with
        CURSOR_TYPE_NO_CURSOR caused the server to return an
        error. (Bug #22559575, Bug #80026)

      * mysql_real_connect() was not thread-safe when invoked
        with the MYSQL_READ_DEFAULT_FILE or
        MYSQL_READ_DEFAULT_GROUP option enabled. (Bug #22322504,
        Bug #79510)

      * Installing MySQL from a yum or zypper repository resulted
        in /var/log/mysqld.log being created with incorrect user
        and group permissions. (Bug #21879694, Bug #78512)

      * If a stored function updated a view for which the view
        table had a trigger defined that updated another table,
        it could fail and report an error that an existing table
        did not exist. (Bug #21142859, Bug #76808)

      * If an INSTALL PLUGIN statement contained invalid UTF-8
        characters in the shared library name, it caused the
        server to hang (or to raise an assertion in debug
        builds). (Bug #14653594, Bug #23080148)

      * For multibyte character sets, LOAD DATA could fail to
        allocate space correctly and ignore input rows as a
        result. (Bug #76237, Bug #20683959, Bug #23080148)
        References: This issue is a regression of: Bug #14653594.
