Fixes

  • Updated log4j to 2.15.0 to fix a security vulnerability. See Log4Shell for details.

  • Fixed an issue that could result in an error if a client sent multiple statements in a single string using the PostgreSQL simple protocol mode.

  • Improved the detection of the cgroup version to support kernels where the cpu.stat and memory.stat files weren’t available at the cgroup root level.

  • Fixed an issue that could cause a deadlock, leading to an unavailable cluster if using blob tables and uploading multiple files in parallel.

  • Fixed an issue that was triggered by adding a column to a table with existing generated columns with ALTER TABLE. It caused the generated columns to become non-generated such that it could no longer generate the values.
