- pt-slave-restart now supports MySQL 5.6 global transaction IDs.
- pt-table-checksum now has new –plugin option which is similar to pt-online-schema-change –plugin
Bugs Fixed:

have_innodbvariable which was removed in MySQL 5.6. - Fixed bug #965553: pt-query-digest didn’t fingerprint
true/falseliterals correctly. - Fixed bug #1286250: pt-online-schema-change was requesting password twice.
