Oracle formed the new branch of the DBMS MySQL 8.4 and published a corrective update MySQL 8.0.37. Assemblies of MySQL Community Server 8.4.0 prepared for all main distributions of Linux, FreeBSD, MacOS, and Windows. Issue 8.4.0 is assigned to branches with a long term of support (LTS), which are produced once every two years and are supported for 5 years (plus you can get another 3 years of expanded support).
MySQL 8.4.0 is the fourth release formed as part of the new model of release formation, which provides for two types of VETs MySQL – “Innovation” and “LTS”. The Innovation branches, which include MySQL 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3, are recommended for those who want to gain access to new functionality earlier. These branches are published every 3 months and are supported only until the following significant release is published (for example, after the appearance of the 8.3 branch, support for the 8.2 branch was stopped). LTS vegetables are recommended for implementations that need predictability and prolonged preservation of unchanging behavior. Following the LTS vending will be formed a new Innovation-Vitle-MySQL 9.0.
