5.2.2 is around the corner
I’ve just pushed the last batch of changes into 5.2 tree. The most important change was renaming Maria engine to Aria (with old maria*
compatibility variables). Other — smaller — changes included adding all plugins to the windows .zip
distribution (sphinx and oqgraph too), building mysqld.exe
with federatedx, not old federated engine, refactoring of mysql-test-run
suite to support pluggable per-suite extensions, print the plugin configuration in the ./configure
script, and other even smaller changes. Together with all bug fixes that 5.2 has accumulated over time it made the tree ready for the next release – 5.2.2!
And will that be an RC?
Yes.
