Changed Features
Persistent connection statistics
The output of show servers now shows the number of times a connection was
taken from a server's pool as well as the ratio of connections taken from the
pool versus newly created connections.
Logging
When known, the session id will be included in all logged messages. This allows a range of logged messages related to a particular session (that is, client) to be bound together, and makes it easier to investigate problems. In practice this is visible so that if a logged message earlier looked like
2017-08-30 12:20:49 warning: [masking] The rule ...
it will now look like
2017-08-30 12:20:49 warning: (4711) [masking] The rule ...
where 4711 is the session id.
