MySQL minor version upgrade

[Tony Jiang]

According to the release notes, it looks like the MySQL 5.7 minor version hasn't been upgraded since November 2016 and the MySQL 5.6 minor version hasn't been upgraded since January 2018. Are there any plans for another upgrade soon?

Currently, we cannot provide an estimated time for the next release, however, for Cloud SQL, each major version is supported for a minimum of three years, and automatically keeps MySQL and PostgreSQL instances up to date with patches and minor version updates. You can get more information on Cloud SQL database versions support policy here. You can also refer to our FAQ page to get a better idea of how the updates are managed.
