Codership is pleased to announce a new Generally Available (GA) release of Galera Cluster for MySQL 5.6 and 5.7, consisting of MySQL-wsrep 5.6.44-25.26 and MySQL-wsrep 5.7.26-25.18 with a new Galera Replication library 3.27 (release notes, download), implementing wsrep API version 25. This release incorporates all changes into MySQL 5.6.44 (release notes, download) and MySQL 5.7.26 (release notes, download) respectively.

Compared to the previous 3.26 release, the Galera Replication library has a few fixes: to prevent a protocol downgrade upon a rolling upgrade and also improvements for GCache page storage on NVMFS devices.

One point of note is that this is also the last release for SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11, as upstream has also put that release into End-of-Life (EOL) status.

You can get the latest release of Galera Cluster from http://www.galeracluster.com. There are package repositories for Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL, OpenSUSE and SLES. The latest versions are also available via the FreeBSD Ports Collection.
