Dear colleagues,

We have identified the cause of the recent replication issues we've been experiencing with the MySQL back-end. In short, we have detected a bug in the particular MySQL version we are currently running. In order to avoid this bug, we had to implement a workaround that we deployed today at 16:30 (UTC +1).

Since the workaround was the only feasible solution, we were forced to build and deploy a new minor version (1.70.1) of the RIPE Database software.

Release notes can be found here: https://www.ripe.net/data-tools/db/release-notes

Kind regards,

Johan Åhlén
Assistant Manager, Database
