MySQL Server version  8.0.28 was launched a few days ago and without a lot a fanfare. Which is a shame and I wish we had more of a splash for every release.  The release notes are available here. 

I would like to highlight some of the changes.

There are over a hundred bug fixes and big thanks to Hope Lee, Casa Zhang, Øystein Grøvlen, Song Zhibai, Facebook, Hobert Lu, Brian Yue, Zhai Weixiang, Murakami Kohei,  Venkatesh Prasad Venugopal, and the Tencent team.

The Highlights

Recently we published the first part (m5, m5a, m6g) and the second part (C5, C5a, C6g) of research regarding comparing Graviton ARM with AMD and Intel CPU on AWS.
