Everything that has changed
- Deprecation
MySQL 8.0 leaves premier support
Oracle's lifetime support policy moves 8.0 out of premier support eight years after GA, leaving 8.4 as the supported LTS line and the 9.x innovation releases as the fast lane. Teams still on 8.0 now have a scheduled upgrade rather than an optional one.SourceLogged in the sqlite vs postgres vs mysql comparison - Launch
MariaDB 11.8 LTS ships vector search in the community server
A VECTOR column type with an approximate nearest-neighbour index reaches GA in a mainstream open-source relational engine, without an enterprise tier. It landed ahead of MySQL, whose 9.x VECTOR type still leans on HeatWave for approximate indexing, and it narrows one of pgvector's few remaining structural advantages.SourceLogged in the sqlite vs postgres vs mysql comparisonAlso affects mariadbAlso affects postgresql
How this changelog is kept
Events are written by hand and dated to the day the change took effect, not the day we noticed. Each one names the tools it affects, so a shared change — a cloud provider raising egress prices across four products — appears on every profile it touches rather than being duplicated four times.
Everything here also flows into the site-wide changelog, which is the cross-tool feed of what is moving in developer infrastructure pricing.
