Issues fixed in this release:
Stability: Flat mutation reader functions such as upgrade_to_v2 are not exception safe and can cause crashes #9065
API: Attempt to update the live-updatable option in `system.config` with wrong value produces the error `bad_lexical_cast` in the log #10394. Config in Scylla is represented as a virtual table, and can be updated (for a subset of parameters) using CQL.
Stability: a concurrent DROP TABLE while streaming data to another node is now tolerated. Previously, streaming would fail, requiring a restart of the node add or decommission operation. #10395
API: Failure to apply a failed batchlog is silent #10636
Stability: Nodetool SCRUB failing when running on keyspaces with mv, indexes and auto snapshot enabled #10760
Alternator: don't allow LSI and GSI to use the same name #10789
Stability: Accidentally quadratic behavior when a large number of range tombstones is present in a partition has been fixed. #11211
Alternator: DescribeTable calls should include ProvisionedThroughput #11222
Stability: sstables crawling reader can emit duplicated partition end. This issue affects scylla's scrub compaction (in all modes) as well as the validate operation of the scylla-sstable tool. #11421
2 Nodes failed after bloom_filter_fp_chance was modified to an unreasonable low number #11524
