MariaDB MaxScale 2.5.6 Release Notes -- 2020-12-15

Release 2.5.6 is a GA release.

This document describes the changes in release 2.5.6, when compared to the previous release in the same series.

For any problems you encounter, please consider submitting a bug report on our Jira.

NOTE After the release of 2.5.6 it was noticed that configuring the same server for both the persistent pool (configuration settings persistpoolmax and persistmaxtime) and the proxy protocol (configuration setting proxy_protocol) may in some situations lead to a crash. Using either one is ok. We will release 2.5.7 with a fix for this as soon as possible (January 2021).
