[]When innodb_ft_result_cache_limit was exceeded by internal memory allocated by InnoDB during the FT scan not all memory was released which could lead to server assertion. Bug fixed #1634932 (upstream #83648).
[]Log tracking initialization did not find last valid bitmap data correctly, potentially resulting in needless redo log retracking or hole in the tracked LSN range. Bug fixed #1658055.
[]If Audit Log Plugin was unable to create file pointed by audit_log_file, the server would crash during the startup. Bug fixed #1666496.
