Also in these releases is a potential 'data loss' bug that was recently identified: * Repair possible failure to update hint bits on disk Under rare circumstances this oversight could lead to "could not access transaction status" failures, which qualifies it as a potential-data-loss bug. >How-To-Repeat: See security advisory >Fix: Upgrade to new version(s) >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
