⚡️💡💻 MySQL 9.0.0 has been released

Oracle recently released MySQL DBMS 9.0.0. The developers of the project have prepared and made publicly available MySQL Community Server 9.0.0 builds for major Linux, FreeBSD, macOS and Windows distributions.

In 2023, the company announced a change in the MySQL DBMS release formation model. Developers began releasing two types of MySQL branches: Innovation (new features, frequent updates, three months of support) and LTS (with extended support time and unchanged behavior).

As the developers note, the MySQL 9.0 project is assigned to the Innovation branch, which will also include the next major releases of MySQL 9.1 and 9.2.

Distributions based on Innovation branches are recommended for those users who want to get access to new functionality earlier. They are published every 3 months and are supported only until the next major release is published (for example, after the 9.1 branch is released, support for the 9.0 branch will be discontinued).
