  Restricting the number of binlog files
 ========================================
 
-Maximum number of binlog files can now be restricted in |Percona Server| with :variable:`max_binlog_files`. When variable :variable:`max_binlog_files` is set to non-zero value, the server will remove the oldest binlog file(s) whenever their number exceeds the value of the variable. 
-
-This variable can be used with the existing :variable:`max_binlog_size` variable to limit the disk usage of the binlog files. If :variable:`max_binlog_size` is set to 1G and :variable:`max_binlog_files` to 20 this will limit the maximum size of the binlogs on disk to 20G. The actual size limit is not necessarily :variable:`max_binlog_size` * :variable:`max_binlog_files`. Server restart or ``FLUSH LOGS`` will make the server start a new log file and thus resulting in log files that are not fully written in these cases limit will be lower.

+========================
+Percona Server |release|
+========================
+
+Percona is glad to announce the release of Percona Server |release| on
+September 10, 2018. Downloads are available `here
+<http://www.percona.com/downloads/Percona-Server-5.7/Percona-Server-5.7.23-23/>`_
+and from the :doc:`Percona Software Repositories </installation>`.
+
+This release is based on `MySQL 5.7.23
+<http://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.7/en/news-5-7-23.html>`_
+and includes all the bug fixes in it. |Percona Server| |release| is
+now the current GA (Generally Available) release in the 5.7 series.
+
+All software developed by Percona is open-source and free.
+
+New Features
+============
+
+* The :variable:`max_binlog_files` variable is deprecated and replaced with
+  the :variable:`binlog_space_limit` variable. The behavior of
+  :variable:`binlog_space_limit` is consistent with the variable
+  :variable:`relay-log-space-limit` used for relay logs; both variables have the
+  same semantics. For more information, see :psbug:`275`.
+* Starting with |release|, all data are encrypted in the InnoDB system
+  tablespace and in the parallel double write buffer. A new variable
+  :variable:`innodb_sys_tablespace_encrypt` is introduced to encrypt the system
+  tablespace. This feature is considered **ALPHA** quality. The encryption of
+  the parallel double write buffer file is controlled by the variable
+  :variable:`innodb_parallel_dblwr_encrypt`. Both variables are ``OFF`` by
+  default. For more information, see :psbug:`3822`.
+* Changing ``rocksdb_update_cf_options`` returns any warnings and errors to the
+  client instead of printing them to the server error log. For more information,
+  see :psbug:`4258`.
+
+Bugs Fixed
+==========
+
+* The statement ``SELECT...ORDER BY`` produced inconsistent results with the
+  ``euckr`` charset or ``euckr_bin`` collation. Bug fixed :psbug:`4513`
+  (upstream :mysqlbug:`91091`).
+* InnoDB statistics could incorrectly report zeros in the :ref:`slow query log
+  <slow_extended>`. Bug fixed :psbug:`3828`.
+* With the FIPS mode enabled and performance_schema=off, the instance crashed
+  when running the ``CREATE VIEW`` command. Bug fixed :psbug:`3840`.
+* The soft limit of the core file size was set incorrectly starting with PS
+  :rn:`5.7.21-20`. Bug fixed :psbug:`4479`.
+* The option ``innodb-optimize-keys`` could fail when a dumped table has two
+  columns such that the name of one of them contains the other as as a prefix and
+  is defined with the AUTO_INCREMENT attribute. Bug fixed :psbug:`4524`.
+* When ``innodb_temp_tablespace_encrypt`` was set to ``ON`` the ``CREATE TABLE``
+  command could ignore the value of the ``ENCRYPTION`` option. Bug fixed
+  :psbug:`4565`.
+* If ``FLUSH STATUS`` was run from a different session, a statement could be
+  counted twice in ``GLOBAL STATUS``. Bug fixed :psbug:`4570` (upstream
+  :mysqlbug:`91541`).
+* In some cases, it was not possible to set the :variable:`flush_caches`
+  variable on systems that use systemd. Bug fixed :psbug:`3796`.
+* A message in the |MyRocks| log file did not clearly inform whether fast CRC32
+  was supported. Bug fixed :psbug:`3988`.
+* ``mysqld`` could not be started on Ubuntu if the database recovery had taken
+  longer than ten minutes. Bug fixed :psbug:`4546` (upstream :mysqlbug:`91423`).
+* The ALTER TABLE command was slow when the number of dirty pages was high. Bug fixed
+  :psbug:`3702`.
+* Setting the global variable :variable:`version_suffix` to NULL could
+  lead to a server crash. Bug fixed :psbug:`4785`.
+
+Other Bugs Fixed
+================
+
+* :psbug:`4620` \"Enable encryption of temporary tablespace from foreground thread\"
+* :psbug:`4727` \"intrinsic temp table behaviour shouldn\'t depend on innodb_encrypt_tables\"
+* :psbug:`4046` \"Ship assert failure: \'res == 0\' (bulk loader)\"
+* :psbug:`3851` \"Percona Ver 5.6.39-83.1 Failing assertion: sym_node->table != NULL\"
+* :psbug:`4533` \"audit_log MTR tests should refer to include files without parent directories\"
