Description Michal Schorm 2020-05-12 13:58:52 UTC

MariaDB upstream plan to make the 5.5.68 release the last release before 5.5 EOL.

We plan to rebase to that version, once it will be released.
That means this update will cover of CVEs fixed by upstream.

This is a tracker bug.
It should have set "DEPENDS ON:" against all other Bugzilla tickets which will be part of the update.

DOCS notes:

MariaDB 5.5.66: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-5566-release-notes/
MariaDB 5.5.67: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-5567-release-notes/
MariaDB 5.5.68: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-5568-release-notes/

All three are "maintenance releases", which means there are no new features expected and the focus lies on fixing of the known issues.
I went through the changelogs and haven't find any significant enhancement.

I picked up fixes which I deem significant:
