This is the first release candidate for Drizzle 7.1 Changes since the previous release include various bugfixes, a new versioning system, and updated documentation.
This release continues refactoring, restructuring, and code quality improvements, adds many more documentation improvements, fixes additional bugs, and improves the test suite.
Fremont has gone beta with this release. It adds multi-master replication, UUIDs for replication, a JSON interface, merged Percona Innodb patches, Xtrabackup in-tree, an IPV6 data type, a query login plugin (syslog) enabled/on by default, the ability to publish transactions to zeromq, improvements to the logging stats plugin, and a word on stored procedure interface. It removes the drizzleadmin utility and HailDB engine, and revamps the testing system with suites of randgen, sysbench, sql-bench, and crashme tests.
