What's new in this version:

Security Notes:
- Incompatible Change: For STANDALONE and WIN builds, the default secure_file_priv value has changed from the empty string to NULL. This is a secure-by-default setting because it disables import and export operations. To permit those operations, set secure_file_priv to the path name of the directory to use for those operations.
- The linked OpenSSL library for the MySQL Commercial Server has been updated to version 1.0.1u. For a description of issues fixed in this version. This change does not affect the Oracle-produced MySQL Community build of MySQL Server, which uses the yaSSL library instead.

Functionality Added or Changed:
- yaSSL was upgraded to version 2.4.2. This upgrade corrects issues with: Potential AES side channel leaks; DSA padding for unusual sizes; the SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations() OpenSSL compatibility function failing to handle long path directory names.
