+# Percona Distribution for MySQL 8.3.0 using Percona Server for MySQL (2024-04-16)
+
+Percona Distribution for MySQL is the most stable, scalable, and secure open source MySQL distribution based on Percona Server for MySQL. [Install Percona Distribution for MySQL](installing.md).
+
+This release is based on [Percona Server for MySQL 8.3.0-1].
+
+## Release highlights
+
+This release merges the MySQL 8.3 code base. Within this merge Percona introduces the following changes:
+
+* Percona updates the Binary Log UDFs to make them compatible with new tagged GTIDs (Global Transaction Identifiers).
+
+* [PS-9044](https://perconadev.atlassian.net/browse/PS-9044): Adds the following variables to MyRocks:
+
+    * [`rocksdb_block_cache_numshardbits`](https://docs.percona.com/percona-server/innovation-release/myrocks-server-variables.html#rocksdb_block_cache_numshardbits)
+
+    * [`rocksdb_check_iterate_bounds`](https://docs.percona.com/percona-server/innovation-release/myrocks-server-variables.html#rocksdb_check_iterate_bounds)
+
+    * [`rocksdb_compact_lzero_now`](https://docs.percona.com/percona-server/innovation-release/myrocks-server-variables.html#rocksdb_compact_lzero_now)
+
+    * [`rocksdb_file_checksums`](https://docs.percona.com/percona-server/innovation-release/myrocks-server-variables.html#rocksdb_file_checksums)
+
+    * [`rocksdb_max_file_opening_threads`](https://docs.percona.com/percona-server/innovation-release/myrocks-server-variables.html#rocksdb_max_file_opening_threads)
+
+    * [`rocksdb_partial_index_ignore_killed`](https://docs.percona.com/percona-server/innovation-release/myrocks-server-variables.html#rocksdb_partial_index_ignore_killed)
+
+    Changs the default values for the following variables:
+
+    * [`rocksdb_compaction_sequential_deletes`](https://docs.percona.com/percona-server/innovation-release/myrocks-server-variables.html#rocksdb_compaction_sequential_deletes) from 0 to 14999
+
+    * [`rocksdb_compaction_sequential_deletes_count_sd`](https://docs.percona.com/percona-server/innovation-release/myrocks-server-variables.html#rocksdb_compaction_sequential_deletes_count_sd) from `OFF` to `ON`
+
+    * [`rocksdb_compaction_sequential_deletes_window`](https://docs.percona.com/percona-server/innovation-release/myrocks-server-variables.html#rocksdb_compaction_sequential_deletes_window) from 0 to 15000
+
+    * [`rocksdb_force_flush_memtable_now`](https://docs.percona.com/percona-server/innovation-release/myrocks-server-variables.html#rocksdb_force_flush_memtable_now) from `ON` to `OFF`
+
+    * [`rocksdb_large_prefix`](https://docs.percona.com/percona-server/innovation-release/myrocks-server-variables.html#rocksdb_large_prefix) from `OFF` to `ON`
+
+Improvements and bug fixes introduced by Oracle for MySQL 8.3 and included in Percona Server for MySQL are the following:
+
+* Implements tagged GTIDs (Global Transaction Identifiers) to group related transactions. This helps enhance replication management and simplify tracking transaction dependencies.
+
+* Adds the `explain_json_format_version` server system variable. This variable allows selection between two JSON output formats for `EXPLAIN FORMAT=JSON` statements. Version 1, the default, offers the linear format used in prior versions. Version 2 provides an access path-based format, ensuring better future MySQL Optimizer compatibility.
+
+## Deprecation or removal
+
+A future release may remove deprecated features, variables and options. The usage of these deprecated items may cause a warning. We recommend migrating from deprecated variables and options as soon as possible.
+
+This release deprecates the following option:
+
+* The [`rocksdb_large_prefix`](https://docs.percona.com/percona-server/innovation-release/myrocks-server-variables.html#rocksdb_large_prefix) is deprecated.
+
+This release removes the following features, variables and options:
+
+* The `FLUSH HOSTS` statement was deprecated in MySQL 8.0.23 and has been removed. To clear the host cache, use `TRUNCATE TABLE performance_schema.host_cache` or `mysqladmin flush-hosts`.
+
+* The `--skip-host-cache` server option has been removed. Start the server with the `--host-cache-size=0` option instead.
+
+* The `--character-set-client-handshake` and `--old-style-user-limits` server options.
+
+* The usage of writesets for conflict checks when the row-based logging is in effect is restricted. If `binlog_transaction_dependency_tracking` is set to `WRITESET` or `WRITESET_SESSION`, the `binlog_format` must be `ROW`. The `MIXED` value is no longer supported.
+
+* The [Multi-threaded LRU flusher](https://docs.percona.com/percona-server/innovation-release/xtradb-performance-improvements.html#multi-threaded-lru-flusher) feature is no longer supported.
+
+* The `innodb_parallel_doublewrite_path` and `innodb_parallel_dblwr_encrypt` server options were deprecated in Percona Server 8.0.23 and have had no effect since that time. These options have now been removed.
