Percona Server for MySQL 5.7.23-24 Is Now Available

Percona announces the release of Percona Server for MySQL 5.7.23-24 on November 12, 2018 (downloads are available here and from the Percona Software Repositories). This release merges changes of MySQL 5.7.23, including all the bug fixes in it. Percona Server for MySQL 5.7.23-24 is now the current GA release in the 5.7 series. All of Percona’s software is open-source and free.

This release introduces InnoDB encryption improvements and merges upstream MyRocks changes. Also, we’ve improved the usage of column families in MyRocks. The InnoDB encryption improvements are in Alpha quality and we don’t recommend that they are used in production.
