Today, at OSCON (the O-Reilly Open Source Convention) in Oregon, Oracle announced that early access to new features of 5.6 is available for the community to test, deploy and provide feedback.
These latest open source features are focused on better scalability, performance and flexibility.

New and improved MySQL replication features help with performance, scale-out and data integration.
Oracle is providing early access to MySQL 5.6 features which are in active development, to enable customers and the MySQL community to provide feedback. After development is complete, these features are intended to move into future Development Milestone and General Availability Releases.
The following MySQL 5.6 early access features are available through , for community testing and feedback:
allows users the ability to build full text indices and search for text-based content stored in InnoDB tables, and supports fast and accurate search on document content.
provide new manual and automated options that allow the InnoDB buffer pool to preload and significantly shorten the warm-up times after server re-start.
increase the maximum size of InnoDB redo log files from 4 GB to 2 TB, helping improve the performance of applications with write-heavy workloads or long running transactions.
delivers improved performance of MySQL replication, with Group Commit applying updates to the binary log in parallel and then committing them as a group to the binlog on disk.
enables MySQL users to seamlessly integrate MySQL with both new and legacy applications and data stores. It allows developers to reduce the complexity of integration by standardizing their SQL data management operations on MySQL, while replicating data to other applications within their data management infrastructure.
“Oracle continues to advance MySQL to address the evolving needs of application developers,” said Tomas Ulin, Oracle-s MySQL vice president of Engineering. “This MySQL 5.6 early access release provides a preview of many important features that deliver enhanced performance, flexibility and scalability, and gives the MySQL community an opportunity to provide feedback to Oracle.”
