Good news, MySQL 5.6.11 is here

Good news, MySQL 5.6.11 is here: MySQL 5.6.11 is here with many useful bug fixes. Not so good news - you won't be able to read about those bugs beyond the brief text in the release notes as many of the bug reports are behind the support paywall. If you have lots of time to spare maybe you can read diffs in the source tree on launchpad.

This is a lousy way to grow a community, especially the community contributing many of the useful bug reports, reproduction cases and some patches. I just reviewed the 5.6.11 release notes and I am impressed that lots of problems were fixed. Many of the bugs were reported by my team and for those bugs there are public reports.

Pro tip - file a public bug report, then link a support request to it to keep bugs open. Google/Bing are great for searching bugs.mysql.com.
