Anyone who says no investment has been into MySQL I suspect never took the time to read the features/release notes for MySQL 8

- tapoxi 3y agoDidn't 8 ship 5 years ago?
- evanelias 3y agoTheir release model changed with MySQL 8 -- they do rolling point releases every quarter with new features sprinkled in as they're ready. Quite a few new major features have been released that way, including INSTANT alters, parallel index builds, CLONE plugin, major changes to how UNDO logs are sized... it's more like Windows 10's release model. Very recently they've mentioned they'll be changing this again to have separate LTS releases, which is a positive change stability-wise.
- ksec 3y agoReally wish they bump up the version number or something. It makes discussions with MySQL a lot easier.
- JohnBooty 3y agoWell, you got me there. It stagnated for so long relative to others that I didn't realize the pace had picked up in a big way.
