   Bugs fixed:

     * Replication: When using the --replicate-rewrite-db option and
       the database referenced by this option on the master was the
       current database when the connection to the slave was closed,
       any temporary tables existing in this database were not
       properly dropped. (Bug#46861: http://bugs.mysql.com/46861)

     * Replication: In some cases, a STOP SLAVE statement could cause
       the replication slave to crash. This issue was specific to
       MySQL on Windows or Macintosh platforms.
