Improvements

General improvements:

  • Fixed an issue where the first Zero-downtime restart (ZDR) after enabling Global Write Forwarding could fail to preserve existing connections on the writer.

Availability improvements:

  • Fixed an issue which can cause a database instance restart when the lock table is full during semi-consistent read.

  • Fixed an issue in binlog recovery that could cause binlog replica instance to restart when using `aurora_in_memory_relaylog` with multi-threaded replication.

  • Fixed an issue which could cause the writer to restart when a reader restarts while local or global write forwarding is enabled.

  • Fixed an issue with improper handling of empty responses during connection loss with storage nodes.
