The MySQL 5.6 Release Candidate is an aggregation of the previous MySQL 5.6 Development Milestone Releases ("DMR") and provides a true functional image of what we hope will soon be the generally available ("GA"), production-ready 5.6 product.

Learn how to use MySQL 5.6 and the MySQL Utilities to setup, monitor and manage your MySQL replication topology. See how a single command can be used to add replication slaves. See for yourself how easy it is to use the utilities to continually monitor the replication master and then automatically promote the most appropriate slave in the event of a failure. For those who prefer more user control, the monitoring can run in an alert-only mode and you'll learn how you can manually initiate failover using a single command.

The new MySQL 5.6.5 Development Milestone Release (DMR) introduces a much anticipated feature - Global Transaction Identifiers (GTIDs) for MySQL replication. GTIDs make it simple to track and compare replication progress between the master and slave servers. This enables much simpler recovery from failures of the master, while also introducing great flexibility in the provisioning and on-going management of multi-tier or ring (circular) replication topologies.
