Key highlights include: more robust InnoDB undo log truncation using a header flag instead of a local file; internal InnoDB recovery and metadata infrastructure improvements (redo log, tablespace, MVCC/ReadView interfaces); a new Change Stream Applier for parallel replication with separate apply and commit progression, configurable via APPLIER_VERSION=2; Group Replication now defaults to the MYSQL communication stack with deprecation warnings for XCom options; post-quantum cryptography support (ML-KEM hybrid and pure algorithms) when built with OpenSSL 3.5+; upgrade/compatibility check progress reporting; and the Thread Pool Plugin now available in Community Server. The release is for evaluation only and not intended for production use. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
