MySQL 26.10 is here! This release brings MySQL REST Service into the server, expands Community Edition capabilities, and adds more control for applications using JSON Relational Duality Views. Here’s a look at the highlights.
MySQL REST Service joins the server
MySQL REST Service (MRS) is now available as a MySQL Server component, enabling HTTPS endpoints without running a separate MySQL Router process. Administrators can configure connection limits, worker threads, and TLS settings through server variables, and manage the service using SQL functions.
More control over JSON Relational Duality Views
MySQL 26.10 gives developers finer control over concurrency checks and field updates in JSON Relational Duality Views.
New CHECK and NO CHECK annotations determine which fields participate in ETAG calculations. The UPDATE and NO UPDATE annotations control whether individual fields can be modified through a view. For example, a field marked NO CHECK can change without changing the document’s ETAG.
These settings let developers define update behavior more precisely while continuing to work with JSON representations of relational data. Effective settings are also exposed through Information Schema for inspection.
Health Monitor comes to Community Edition
Previously available only in MySQL HeatWave, Health Monitor is now available in MySQL Community Edition. Linux supports the complete metric set, while macOS provides basic memory, filesystem, and CPU metrics. Windows support is not included in this release.
WebAuthn authentication expands to Community Edition
WebAuthn authentication is now available as a plugin for MySQL Community Edition. The plugin enables FIDO-device authentication, supporting multifactor authentication and passwordless access for Community users.
