Announcing Percona Server 5.6 Alpha by Stewart Smith
From the post:
We are very happy to announce our first alpha of Percona Server 5.6. Based on MySQL 5.6.5 and all the improvements contained within, this is the first step towards a full Percona Server 5.6 release.
Binaries are available to download from our downloads site here: http://www.percona.com/downloads/Percona-Server-5.6/Percona-Server-5.6.5-alpha60.0/
We will post binaries to our EXPERIMENTAL repositories later, we’re undergoing final testing to ensure that it won’t cause problems for those running Percona Server < 5.6 from EXPERIMENTAL. Percona Server 5.6.5-alpha60.0 does not contain all the features of Percona Server 5.5. We are going to “release early, release often” as we add features from Percona Server 5.5. As such, our documentation will not be complete for a little while yet and these release notes are currently the best source of information – please bear with us.
Go ahead, take a walk on the wild side! 😉
