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 5.6.15-63.0.

As the build number suggests, this latest iteration of Percona Server is based on MySQL 5.6.15 and includes changes and bugs fixes.

Highlights of Percona Server 5.6.15-63.0:

• Thread Pool high priority scheduling is now enabled by default by changing the default thread_pool_high_prio_tickets value from 0 to 4294967295; • Support has been added for low priority queue throttling. Users should see better Thread Pool performance under high concurrency in a situation when thread groups are oversubscribed; • A new thread_pool_high_prio_mode variable has been added to provide more fine-grained control over high priority scheduling either globally or per connection in Thread Pool.; • mysqlbinlog has been extended in order to provide SSL and compression support.

A complete list of changes and updates can be found in the official announcement. Download Percona Server 5.6.15-63.0 right now from Softpedia.
