Release Highlights

  • Encryption functions and variables to manage the encryption range are added. The functions may take an algorithm argument. Encryption converts plaintext into ciphertext using a key and an encryption algorithm.

    You can also use the user-defined functions with the PEM format keys generated externally by the OpenSSL utility.

  • Support for the Amazon Key Management Service (AWS KMS) component.

  • Error messages are now logged to a memory buffer.

  • ZenFS file system plugin for RocksDB is updated to version 2.1.0.
