OPEN SOURCE RELEASE JULY 2026

AliSQL 8.0.44-2

MySQL 8.0.44 with embedded DuckDB analytics, native vector indexing, Native Flashback, Binlog in Redo, and large-transaction optimizations.

Prebuilt packages and a multi-architecture Docker image are available for Linux x86_64 and ARM64.

WHAT'S NEW

One server, broader workloads

This release expands AliSQL across analytical queries, vector search, recovery workflows, and transaction durability while preserving the MySQL protocol and SQL interface.

01

DuckDB analytics

DuckDB 1.4.4 is embedded as an analytical storage engine, with stronger SQL compatibility, DDL, replication, and resource governance.

02

Native vector index

Native VECTOR(N) columns and HNSW indexes support Euclidean and cosine distance for approximate nearest-neighbor search.

03

Native Flashback

Query retained InnoDB history with AS OF TIMESTAMP to inspect and recover earlier row versions without restoring a full backup.

04

Binlog in Redo V2

Eligible binlog events are persisted in InnoDB redo, allowing crash recovery to reconstruct a missing binlog tail before normal recovery.

05

Large TX optimization

Binlog Cache Free Flush avoids a second large cache copy for eligible InnoDB transactions, reducing commit I/O amplification and latency.

In this release, Free Flush applies to eligible InnoDB transactions. DuckDB transactions continue through normal binlog group commit.

MANAGED ON ALIBABA CLOUD
