========================================================================
Changes in MySQL 5.5.58 (2017-10-16, General availability)

    Packaging Notes

      * mysqlcheck was missing in the MySQL Server Docker image,
        which prevented mysql_upgrade from running. (Bug #26400146,
        Bug #86968)

    Bugs Fixed

      * Replication: Replication clients no longer enable LOCAL
        capability for LOAD DATA statements, because they do not use LOAD
        DATA LOCAL statements. (Bug #24763131)

      * yaSSL could incorrectly perform TLS cipher negotiation.
        (Bug #26482173)

      * The server failed to check the maximum path length for
        partition names. (Bug #26390632)

      * Identifiers containing a mixture of backslashes and
        backticks could be parsed incorrectly. (Bug #26372491)

      * NAME_CONST() can return null if incorrect arguments are
        given. In some cases, this was not handled and could cause a
        server exit. (Bug #19143243, Bug #26361149)
