Percona Server 5.5.42-37.1 is now available

Percona is glad to announce the release of Percona Server 5.5.42-37.1 on March 4, 2015. Based on MySQL 5.5.42, including all the bug fixes in it, Percona Server 5.5.42-37.1 is now the current stable release in the 5.5 series.

Percona Server is open-source and free. Details of the release can be found in the 5.5.42-37.1 milestone on Launchpad. Downloads are available here and from the Percona Software Repositories.

Bugs Fixed:

• RPM pre-install script assumed that the PID file was always located in the datadir. If it was not, during installation, wrong assumption could be made if the server was running or not. Bug fixed #1201896.
• SHOW GRANTS displayed only the privileges granted explicitly to the named account. Other effectively available privileges were not displayed. Fixed by implementing Extended SHOW GRANTS feature. Bug fixed #1354988 (upstream #53645).
• InnoDB lock monitor output was printed even if it was not requested. Bug fixed #1418996.
• The stored procedure key was made consistent with other keys in the Slow Query Log by replacing space with an underscore. Bug fixed #1419230.

Other bugs fixed: #1408232, #1415843 (upstream #75642), bug fixed #1407941, and bug fixed #1424568 (upstream #75868).

(Please also note that Percona Server 5.6 series is the latest General Availability series and current GA release is 5.6.23-72.1.)
