  1. It is nice to have Group Replication Enhancements, but I do not see a lot of Standard Replication Enhancements those days (or maybe they are not advertised much). What is happening there ?

  2. Hi Jean-François,

    Don’t worry we are still working on supporting asynchronous replication. We recently added binlog and relay log encryption, we enhanced XA transaction prepare with metadalock, … and of course more to come.

    Some of the changes in replication’s frameworks benefit both types of replication. And it’s true that the changes in Group Replication are more visible because they are key changes like the consistency levels.

    So be patient, and you will see changes there too.

    Thank you for your interest in MySQL (and replication obviously).

  3. Thanks for the great sharing. Looks like there is a typo in the tags,
    where 8.0.18 should be 8.0.16?
