Due to incorrect usage of ``posix_fadvise()`` hints, |Percona
XtraBackup| discarded read-ahead buffers which resulted in higher
``I/O`` rate on the backup stage. Bug fixed :bug:`1093385`.
Spurious trailing data blocks that would normally be ignored by InnoDB
could lead to an assertion failure on the backup stage. Bug fixed
:bug:`1177201`.
A spurious warning message could cause issues with third-party wrapper
scripts. Bug fixed :bug:`1271956`.
:ref:`xbcrypt <xbcrypt>` could fail with the
``xbcrypt:xb_crypt_read_chunk: unable to read chunk iv size at offset``
error under some circumstances. Bug fixed :bug:`1273196`.
:ref:`xbstream <xbstream_binary>` could sometimes hang when extracting
a broken or incomplete input stream. Bug fixed :bug:`1273207`.
Preparing backups of MySQL or Percona Server 5.6 could raise an
assertion failure in |Percona XtraBackup|. Bug fixed :bug:`1273468`.
The downtime is decreased when the --safe-slave-backup option is used
to backup a replication slave. The SQL thread is now
started before a temporary copy of redo log is streamed into the final
location. Bug fixed :bug:`1284778`.
Disabled the "binary version check" functionality in the VersionCheck
module due to security concerns. Bug fixed :bug:`1285166`.
