Percona Distribution for MySQL 8.4.8 using Percona Server for MySQL has been released

Percona Distribution for MySQL 8.4.8 using Percona Server for MySQL has been released on Thursday, March 12, 2026.

Try it out using the Installation guide.

Known issues and limitations

  • In 8.4.x environments, the ProxySQL binlog reader can fail to initialize because it uses legacy commands, such as SHOW MASTER STATUS. Some internal counters also use outdated terminology. To address most terminology issues, enable the terminology_use_previous system variable on the database server. This workaround addresses only terminology compatibility and may not fix all failures.
