Bugs Fixed:
In case of streaming backups, innobackupex would resume the XtraBackup process and then wait for it to finish before running UNLOCK TABLES. This caused database to be unnecessarily locked with FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK. Innobackupex now waits only till log copying is finished to unlock the databases. Bug fixed #1055989 (Alexey Kopytov).
innobackupex error messages referencing the data directory have been extended to show the path of the data directory mentioned in the error message. Bug fixed #1089375 (Hartmut Holzgraefe).
Partitioned tables were not correctly handled by the --databases, --include, --tables-file options of innobackupex, and by the --tables and --tables-file options of XtraBackup. Fixed by removing the partition suffix (#P#…) before doing filtering. Bug fixed #711166 (Sergei Glushchenko).
When built-in compression was used, XtraBackup was doing unbuffered writes to the destination file or stream in very small chunks which in return caused inefficient I/O. Fixed by using a 1M buffer for output similar to the uncompressed backups. Bug fixed #1095249 (Alexey Kopytov).
Unnecessary long sleep() in innobackupex lead to FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK taking too long. Fixed by replacing 2 seconds sleep interval with 100 milliseconds one. Bug fixed #1095551 (Sergei Glushchenko).
If innobackupex would crash it would leave the xtrabackup_
innobackupex would fail to recognize MariaDB 5.2 and MariaDB 5.3. Fixed by augmenting version checks in innobackupex. Bug fixed #733665 (Daniël van Eeden, Alexey Kopytov).
Other bug fixes: bug fixed #924492 (Alexey Kopytov), bug fixed #1097158 (Alexey Kopytov), bug fixed #1081882 (Alexey Kopytov), bug fixed #1096584 (Alexey Kopytov).
