When log messages are written with both address and port information, IPv6
addresses can cause confusion if the normal address:port formatting is
used. The RFC 3986 suggests that all IPv6 addresses are expressed as a
bracket enclosed address optionally followed by the port that is separate
from the address by a colon.
In practice, the "all interfaces" address and port number 3306 can be
written in IPv4 numbers-and-dots notation as 0.0.0.0:3306 and in IPv6
notation as [::]:3306. Using the latter format in log messages keeps the
output consistent with all types of addresses.
The details of the standard can be found at the following addresses:

Both the listeners and servers now support IPv6 addresses.
The namedserverfilter does not yet use the new structures and needs to be
fixed in a following commit.
All modules now declare a name for the module. This is name is added as a
prefix to all messages logged by a module. The prefix should help
determine which part of the system logs a message.
Events larger than 16MBytes are now encrypted when being saved.
Some changes to binlog event details report and maxbinlogcheck supports
-H option for replication header display
Storing the large events in memory allows checksum calculations to be done
in one step. This also makes the encryption of events easier as they
require the complete event in memory.
