In this talk, the developers behind MySQL Replication walk through some of the new Replication features of MySQL 5.1 and MySQL 6.0, such as: Row-based Replication (5.1) is used for MySQL Cluster replication and also provides a safer way to replicate non-deterministic statements. Row-based support for mysqlbinlog client (5.1) is used to analyze the row-based binlog entries. Row-based point-in-time recovery (5.1) is used to restore a server to a particular time point regardless of binlogging format. Heartbeating (6.0) is used to manage that the master and slave connection is always up. Semi-synchronous Replication (6.0) is used to ensure that any update of the master is on the slave before transaction is acknowleged to the user. Replication Server Filtering (6.0) ensures that the user can more easily replicate in a circle. Relay log synchronization (6.0) ensures that the slave is restartable without clearing the relay log in case of crashes.
