We are excited to announce the release of MySQL 8.4 on Aptible, the first Long-Term Support (LTS) release of MySQL. As an LTS version, MySQL 8.4 releases will focus on necessary fixes, minimizing the risk of breaking changes between updates. You can read about the changes introduced in MySQL 8.4’s What Is New and about the reasoning behind MySQL’s new versioning model in their blog post.

If you want to upgrade or have questions about MySQL 8.4, please contact Aptible Support.
