The Scylla team is pleased to announce the release of Scylla Enterprise 2018.1.8, a production-ready Scylla Enterprise minor release. Scylla Enterprise 2018.1.8 is a bug fix release for the 2018.1 branch, the latest stable branch of Scylla Enterprise. Scylla Enterprise customers are encouraged to upgrade to Scylla Enterprise 2018.1.8 in coordination with the Scylla support team.
This release includes memory management improvements, first introduced in Scylla Open Source 2.3 release and graduated into Scylla Enterprise. These changes allow Scylla to free large contiguous areas of memory more reliably with less effort and improves the performance of workloads that have large blobs or collections. #2480
