Security update

This release is a patch to v2.6.1.0, and addresses an LDAP authentication vulnerability in YCQL.

If you can't update to 2.6.1.1 immediately, and you're running YugabyteDB 2.6.1.0 in conjunction with LDAP authentication for YCQL, disable LDAP authentication for YCQL by setting the --ycql_use_ldap flag to false, which reverts the authentication method to hashed password. YSQL is not affected.

Point-in-time recovery

This feature allows you to restore the state of a cluster back to a previous point in time. This release is focused on support for the YCQL API. You can set up PITR at a YCQL keyspace level and recover from data changes and from metadata operations, such as CREATE TABLE / CREATE INDEX / ALTER TABLE / DROP TABLE / DROP INDEX. Support for YSQL is still very limited, only allowing recovery of data. (The items in this list cover new functionality as well as bug fixes.)

• [7215] Added an ability to select multiple backups for deletion rather than deleting individual backups.
• [7223] [7224] Added a new “Show Universes” action in the Actions menu. This provides a way for users to see all the associated universes that are using a particular KMS config. We are now also showing the list of universes as a modal dialog box associated with the certificate.
• [7278] [7446] Improved search usability for Live and Slow queries by adding autocomplete suggestions, better filtering and navigation.
• [7726] Health check now runs in parallel on all the universes rather than sequential.
• [7799] Added support for AWS GP3 volumes during universe creation from the Platform. The disk size and IOPS configuration for GP3 drives are configurable, whereas throughput is not configurable and is set to default value of 125MiB/sec.
• [7913] When upgrading a universe with read replica clusters, nodes in primary clusters are now always upgraded first, then read replica cluster nodes.
• [7967] Added ‘Download logs’ action under Nodes tab.
• [7970] Added a new ‘Backup Type’ label to distinguish YSQL and YCQL scheduled backups. For Yedis back type this field will be an empty string.
• [8038] Default metrics button now points to the Prometheus metrics endpoint.
• [8081] Added support for searching certificates by universe name in the Encryption-at-Rest. If there are more than 10 certificates, the user has to use pagination to search one page at a time to find the right certificate.
