Safe to upgrade from MySQL 8.0 to MySQL 8.4 ?
As we all know, MySQL 8.0 is EOL this month. I would have already had my two servers upgraded to 8.4 if it weren't for the MySQL 9.x fiasco.
cPRex Is it okay to assume that everything has been resolved and that if I attempt to perform the 8.0 to 8.4 upgrade it's not going to suddenly upgrade me to 9.x?

Hey there! At this point, yes, I'm not aware of any conflicts like last week as MySQL has resolved the issue on their end.

hey mack, i upgraded a couple days ago and it didn't push me to 9.x at all so you're prolly good. honestly the biggest headache was just making sure some of my old plugins didn't break but the version lock stayed where it was supposed to. just double check your repo config before you hit enter just in case.... but yeah it should stay on the lts track

Alex Marlowe Thanks. I ended up doing the upgrade just a day or so after I posted. Upgraded one with mysql_governor enabled and one without. Went smoothly. Just had to make sure that MySQL was still authenticating using mysql_native_password=1 so all of the sites didn't break.: The upgrades actually added this automatically so I didn't have to concern myself with it after all.
authentication_policy=mysql_native_password
mysql_native_password=1Thanks for providing your experience. I should have provided mine afterwards but I forgot :)
