Version: 3.06.1

Aurora MySQL 3.06.1 is generally available. Aurora MySQL 3.06 versions are compatible with MySQL 8.0.34. For more information on the community changes that have occurred, see MySQL 8.0 Release Notes.

For details of the new features in Aurora MySQL version 3, see Aurora MySQL version 3 compatible with MySQL 8.0. For differences between Aurora MySQL version 3 and Aurora MySQL version 2, see Comparison of Aurora MySQL version 2 and Aurora MySQL version 3. For a comparison of Aurora MySQL version 3 and MySQL 8.0 Community Edition, see Comparison of Aurora MySQL version 3 and MySQL 8.0 Community Edition in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.

Currently supported Aurora MySQL releases are 2.07.9, 2.07.10, 2.11.*, 2.12.*, 3.03.*, 3.04.*, 3.05.*, 3.06.*, and 3.07.*.

You can perform an in-place upgrade, restore a snapshot, or initiate a managed blue/green upgrade using Amazon RDS Blue/Green Deployments from any currently supported Aurora MySQL version 2 cluster into an Aurora MySQL version 3.06.1 cluster.

For information on planning an upgrade to Aurora MySQL version 3, see Planning a major version upgrade for an Aurora MySQL DB cluster. For general information about Aurora MySQL upgrades, see Upgrading Amazon Aurora MySQL DB clusters in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.

For troubleshooting information, see Troubleshooting for Aurora MySQL in-place upgrade in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.

If you have any questions or concerns, Amazon Support is available on the community forums and through Amazon Support. For more information, see Maintaining an Amazon Aurora DB cluster in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.

Improvements

Fixed security issues and CVEs:

This release includes all community CVE fixes up to and including MySQL 8.0.34. The following CVE fixes are included:

Availability improvements:

  • Fixed an issue that causes an Aurora MySQL DB instance to restart when running a parallel query.

  • Fixed an issue that can cause a reader DB instance to restart when reading a table that is being altered or dropped on the writer DB instance.

  • Fixed an issue that caused a memory access violation leading to releasing a mutex object no longer owned by the thread.

  • Fixed an issue that can cause an Aurora MySQL writer DB instance to restart when a write forwarding session is closed while running a forwarded query.

  • Fixed an issue that causes a DB instance restart when handling large GTID sets on a binary log–enabled instance.

  • Fixed an issue that, in rare conditions, can cause a reader instance to restart when performing SELECT queries on tables with a foreign key constraint.

  • Fixed an issue that causes a DB instance to restart when attempting to recover the InnoDB data dictionary during database recovery.

  • Fixed an issue in Aurora Serverless v2 that can lead to a database restart while scaling up.

General improvements:

  • Fixed an issue in metrics publishing code where memory might be used after being freed.

  • Fixed an issue that caused repeated DB engine restarts due to a nonexistent undo tablespace object.

  • Fixed an issue with automatic truncation of undo tablespaces when they're larger than the threshold innodb_max_undo_log_size in upgrade scenarios.

  • Fixed an issue that provided an incorrect value for the threads_running status variable when using Aurora Global Database.

  • Fixed an issue where an Aurora MySQL binary log (binlog) read replica with parallel secondary index optimization enabled would experience a restart when applying replication changes on tables with foreign keys.

  • Aurora MySQL version 3.06.0 added support for Amazon Bedrock integration. As part of this, new reserved keywords (accept, aws_bedrock_invoke_model, aws_sagemaker_invoke_endpoint, content_type, and timeout_ms) were added. In Aurora MySQL version 3.06.1, these keywords have been changed to nonreserved keywords, which are permitted as identifiers without quoting. For more information on how MySQL handles reserved and nonreserved keywords, see Keywords and reserved words in the MySQL documentation.

  • Fixed an issue that didn't clearly return an error message to the client when invoking the Amazon Bedrock service from an Aurora MySQL DB cluster in an Amazon Web Services Region where Amazon Bedrock isn't yet available.

  • Fixed an issue that causes a DB instance to restart because of inaccurate lock holder information in rw_lock when using parallel reads.

  • Fixed an issue that can cause a DB instance to restart when SHOW VOLUME STATUS is run.

  • Fixed a memory management issue that led to a decrease in freeable memory over time when running SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE ... queries.

  • Added support for the connection_memory_limit and connection_memory_chunk_size parameters to be set at the session level to behave similar to corresponding functionality in MySQL Community Edition. The connection_memory_limit parameter sets the maximum amount of memory that can be used by a single user connection. The connection_memory_chunk_size parameter sets the chunking size for updates to the global memory usage counter.

  • Fixed an issue that can cause a DB instance to restart when the local storage on the DB instance reaches full capacity.

  • Fixed an issue where the Performance Schema wasn't enabled when Performance Insights automated management was turned on for db.t4g.medium and db.t4g.large DB instances.

  • Fixed an issue that can cause a writer DB instance to restart when a reader DB instance using write forwarding runs a Data Manipulation Language (DML) statement that contains a timestamp value and the time_zone database parameter is set to UTC.

  • Fixed an issue during zero downtime patching (ZDP) that prevents a DB instance from closing client connections upon reaching the customer-configured minimum value of either wait_timeout or interactive_timeout.

Upgrades and migrations:

  • Fixed an issue that causes upgrades or migrations to fail when the target Aurora MySQL DB engine version is 3.04.0 or higher. This occurs when the lower_case_table_names DB cluster parameter is set to 1, and MySQL database collation is incompatible with lowercase table names.

Integration of MySQL Community Edition bug fixes
