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 5.6.45-25.27 and 5.7.27-25.19 with a new Galera Replication library 3.28 (release notes, download) implementing wsrep API version 25. This release incorporates all changes into MySQL 5.6.45 (release notes, download) and MySQL 5.7.27 (release notes, download) respectively.

Compared to the previous release, the Galera Replication library has a few notable fixes: it has enhanced UUID detection, and builds on esoteric platforms to benefit distributions shipping Galera Cluster like Debian on platforms like hppa/hurd-i386/kfreebsd. The 5.7.27-25.19 release also fixes a segmentation fault (segfault) when the wsrep_provider is set to none.

This release marks the last release for OpenSUSE 13.1 as the release itself has reached End-of-Life (EOL) status. It should also be noted that the next release will mark the EOL for OpenSUSE 13.2. If you are still using this base operating system and are unable to upgrade, please contact info@codership.com for more information.

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.
