Relaced router_options with configuration parameters in the createInstance router entry point. The same needs to be done for the filter API as barely any filters use the feature. Some routers (binlogrouter) still support router_options but using it is deprecated. This had to be done as their use wasn't deprecated in 2.2.

# MariaDB MaxScale 2.3.0 Release Notes
|
|
|
|
Release 2.2.0 is a Beta release.
|
|
|
|
This document describes the changes in release 2.3.0, when compared to
|
|
release 2.2.
|
|
|
|
For any problems you encounter, please consider submitting a bug
|
|
report at [Jira](https://jira.mariadb.org).
|
|
|
|
## Changed Features
|
|
|
|
### Session Command History
|
|
|
|
The _readwritesplit_ session command history is now enabled mby default but it
|
|
is limited to a total of 50 distict session commands. This default allows most
|
|
sessions to leverage the newly improved reconnection mechanism without having to
|
|
explicitly enable the history. When the limit of 50 commands is exceeded, the
|
|
session command history is disabled. This makes it possible to use pooled
|
|
connections by default without having to explicitly disable the history (this
|
|
was the case with pre-2.1 versions of MaxScale).
|
|
|
|
The way that the history is stored has also changed. Instead of storing all
|
|
session commands, each session only stores the first and last execution of each
|
|
command. This way the history is compressed into a compact representation while
|
|
still retaining the relative order of each command.
|
|
|
|
To keep the old functionality, add `disable_sescmd_history=true` to the service
|
|
definition.
|
|
|
|
### Masking Filter
|
|
|
|
By default the masking filter rejects statements that use functions on
|
|
conjuction with columns that should be masked. Please see the
|
|
[Masking Filter](../Filters/Masking.md) documentation for details.
|
|
|
|
### Switchover new master autoselection
|
|
|
|
The switchover command in *mariadbmon* can now be called with just the monitor
|
|
name as parameter. In this case the monitor will automatically select a server
|
|
for promotion.
|
|
|
|
### `router_options` in Binlogrouter
|
|
|
|
The use of `router_options` with the binlogrouter module is deprecated in
|
|
MaxScale 2.3 and will be removed in a subsequent release. The
|
|
`router_options` should be converted into separate parameters.
|
|
|
|
## Dropped Features
|
|
|
|
### Configuration Reloading
|
|
|
|
The deprecated `maxadmin reload config` command has been removed.
|
|
|
|
### `router_options` in Avrorouter
|
|
|
|
The use of `router_options` with avrorouter was deprecated in MaxScale 2.1. In
|
|
MaxScale 2.3, the use of `router_options` is no longer supported and the options
|
|
should be given as parameters instead.
|
|
|
|
### `router_options` in readwritesplit
|
|
|
|
The use of `router_options` with readwritesplit, which was deprecated in
|
|
MaxScale 2.2.0, has been removed in MaxScale 2.3.0.
|
|
|
|
### `QUERY-LAST-TRANSACTION` and `QUERY-TRANSACTION` CDC commands
|
|
|
|
The CDC protocol no longer accepts the `QUERY-LAST-TRANSACTION` and
|
|
`QUERY-TRANSACTION` commands. They were removed due to the addition of the REST
|
|
API that provides the same information in a more easy to process format.
|
|
|
|
## New Features
|
|
|
|
### Runtime Configuration of the Cache
|
|
|
|
With the variable `@maxscale.cache.enabled` it is now possible for a
|
|
client to specify whether the cache should be used. Please see the
|
|
[Cache](../Filters/Cache.md) documentation for details.
|
|
|
|
### User Specified Syslog Facility and Level for Authentication Errors
|
|
|
|
It is now possible for the end user to specify the syslog facility and level
|
|
for authentication errors. Please see
|
|
[the configuration guide](../Getting-Started/Configuration-Guide.md#events)
|
|
for details.
