Percona Server, an enhanced drop-in replacement for MySQL that will allow queries to run faster and more consistently and to consolidate servers on powerful hardware, is now at version 5.1.67-14.4.

Highlights of Percona Server 5.1.67-14.4:

• New user statements have been introduced for handling the XtraDB changed page tracking log files; • Time in slow query log was displayed incorrectly when slow_query_log_microseconds_timestamp variable was set to microseconds; • The master thread was doing dirty buffer pool flush list reads to make its adaptive flushing decisions; • When option innodb_flush_method=O_DIRECT was set up, log bitmap files were created and treated as InnoDB data files for flushing purposes, which wasn’t original intention; • Writing bitmap larger than 4GB would cause write to fail; • A server would stop with an assertion error in I/O and AIO routines if large innodb_log_block_size value is used in the combination with changed page tracking.

A complete list of changes and updates can be found in the official announcement.
