| 8.1.0 | -1 | |—|—|—| | Base version | Minor build version |
Percona uses semantic version numbering, which follows the pattern of base version and build version. Percona assigns unique, non-negative integers in increasing order for each version release. The version number combines the base MySQL 8.4 version number and the minor build version.
The version numbers for Percona Server for MySQL 8.4.3-3 define the following information:
-
Base version - the leftmost numbers indicate MySQL 8.4 version used as a base.
-
Minor build version - an internal number that increases by one every time Percona Server for MySQL is released.
