AliSQL 8.0.44-2 Released

OPEN SOURCE RELEASE JULY 2026

AliSQL 8.0.44-2

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

GitHub Release

Docker Images

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

WHAT'S NEW

One server, broader workloads

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

01

DuckDB analytics

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

02

Native vector index

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

03

Native Flashback

Query retained InnoDB history with AS OF TIMESTAMP to inspect<br>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<br>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<br>InnoDB transactions, reducing commit I/O amplification and latency.

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