The ScyllaDB team is pleased to announce the release of ScyllaDB Enterprise 2018.1.8, a production-ready ScyllaDB Enterprise minor release. ScyllaDB Enterprise 2018.1.8 is a bug fix release for the 2018.1 branch, the latest stable branch of ScyllaDB Enterprise. ScyllaDB Enterprise customers are encouraged to upgrade to ScyllaDB Enterprise 2018.1.8 in coordination with the ScyllaDB support team.
This release includes memory management improvements, first introduced in ScyllaDB Open Source 2.3 release and graduated into ScyllaDB Enterprise.
