"This release matters not only because it establishes the next LTS baseline, but because it reflects a broader direction for MySQL. Over the last several releases, we have talked about giving users earlier visibility into what is coming, broadening access to important capabilities, and working more openly with the MySQL community."
"The long-term goal is straightforward: to create a tighter feedback loop with the community and help craft the roadmap together."
"Oracle has announced the general availability of MySQL 9.7.0, marking the start of a new 9.7 LTS release series and the first major one since MySQL 8.4. The release arrives amid community concerns about declining MySQL development activity and Oracle's long-term commitment to the project."
"The new release consolidates innovations from the recent development cycle, including improvements in replication observability, telemetry, and query optimization. Specifically, it improves the MySQL REST Service, adds the Hypergraph optimizer, and introduces new security features, including dynamic data masking and OpenID authentication."
