• The MySQL server, bundled with MySQL Enterprise Service Manager, has been upgraded to MySQL 8.0.20.

• The bundled JRE was updated to 1.8.0_251 for both the Agent and Service Manager.

• The Tomcat server, bundled with MySQL Enterprise Service Manager, has been upgraded to 8.5.51.

• As of this release, the MySQL Enterprise Service Manager installer, on Microsoft Windows, checks for the presence of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x64) - 14.25.2850508™ or later and if it is not present, installs it.

  MySQL Enterprise Service Manager installation on Microsoft Windows can not proceed without this redistributable.

  Important

  If you do not intend to use the bundled MySQL Server, but intend to use an existing, external repository, you must manually download and install this redistributable.
