Percona Distribution for MySQL 8.4.7 using Percona Server for MySQL has been released

Percona Distribution for MySQL 8.4.7 using Percona Server for MySQL has been released on Monday, December 22, 2025.

Try it out using the Installation guide.

Percona Server for MySQL 8.4.7-7

The audit log plugin has been reintroduced in Percona Server for MySQL 8.4. However, it is already marked as deprecated and is planned for removal in a future release. This deprecation is due to the availability of the audit log filter component, which is the recommended replacement. Users should migrate to this component, which provides equivalent functionality with enhanced flexibility, performance, and filtering capabilities, ensuring continued support for auditing and compliance requirements.

Packaging and build notes

  • Percona Server for MySQL 8.4 adds support for Debian 13.

  • Percona Server for MySQL 8.4 has ended support for Ubuntu 20.04.

Known issues and limitations

  • MySQL Shell is not available as a prebuilt package for Debian 11 (Bullseye) in the Percona APT repository. Recent MySQL Shell releases are built with GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 11 or later, while Debian 11 ships with GCC 10, making these binaries incompatible.

  • ProxySQL contains counters that have not been updated to use the new terminology. Unexpected results may occur. In an 8.4.x environment, the binlog reader errors out during initialization due to the use of old terminology, such as the SHOW MASTER STATUS command.
