Utilities Added or Changed Functionality

• The schema MYSQL_AUTOPILOT is excluded by dump and load operations with ocimds:true. (Bug #37278169)

• As of this release, the upgrade checker utility writes all compatibility issues and fixes to the log file, instead of only writing to the console. (Bug #37154456)

Utilities Bugs Fixed

• If convertBsonTypes was enabled, the JSON import utility failed when importing negative BSON values.

  An error similar to the following was returned:

          ValueError: Unexpected data, expected to find an integer string processing extended JSON for $numberInt at offset 25

  (Bug #37243264)

• Under certain circumstances, such as a large amount of data chunking, the maxRate dump option did not properly limit the throughput due to a gap between the start of the dump and the start of the data dump. As of this release, maxRate is used only when data is being dumped. (Bug #37216767)

• MySQL Shell could hang when running a dump with consistent: true under an account which lacked privileges to execute FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK.

  As of this release, query events are checked only if they contain data, and GRANT and REVOKE statements are flagged as unsafe. (Bug #37158908)

Functionality Added or Changed

• As of this release, the Google V8 JavaScript engine is replaced by Oracle GraalVM. (Bug #34370637)

Bugs Fixed

• In MySQL Shell 8.0.40, RPM installation failed on Oracle Linux 8 due to a dependency on Python 3.9. As of this release, MySQL Shell bundles Python 3.13. (Bug #37479400)

• It was not possible to start MySQL Shell on Oracle Linux 8 running on ARM platforms if PAGE_SIZE was set to 64K. An error similar to the following was displayed:

  Press CTRL+C to copy
   
  mysqlsh: error while loading shared libraries: 
  libantlr4-runtime.so.4.10.1: ELF load command alignment 
  not page-aligned

  (Bug #36792750)
