Now Available: Tungsten v6.1.18 Release

We are pleased to announce that Tungsten Clustering and Tungsten Replicator GA Version 6.1.18 are now available for customers to download!

This release contains a number of minor bug fixes and improvements. Here are a few highlights:

• The tungsten_merge_logs command now supports the --before TIMESTAMP and --after TIMESTAMP filters (CT-1869)
• The tungsten_reset_manager command now supports the ability to simply print out the path or paths to be cleared, one per line via the -l or --list arguments (CT-1917)
• The thl list command now displays an approximative field size in bytes for row-based replication (CT-1847)
• Added a new option to TPM manager-replicator-offline-timeout=<timeout_in_sec> that configures the timeout for the manager to wait until the replicator goes offline (CT-1892)
• Several enhancements to the tpm diag command (CT-1908, CT-1933, CT-1935)
• A number of Backup and Restore improvements (CT-1575, CT-1841, CT-1842, CT-1850)
• Core Replicator has been improved (CT-1847), got several bug fixes (CT-1684, CT-1890, CT-1904, CT-1931) and a new feature (CT-1912)
• The new feature added to the core Replicator enables pausing a replicator stage for some amount of time; read more about it in the release notes (CT-1912)

It's important to note that there are a couple behavior changes related to tungsten_find_orphaned and v8 of Percona’s xtrabackup tool, as well as a pretty significant behavior change for Tungsten Manager:

• Tungsten Manager behavior change: a failsafe shunned cluster (caused by a network split) will be auto recovered after the network connection is re-established (CT-241)
