Changes
One of the main features introduced in this release is a new type of client MultiDBClient. The purpose of this client is a communication with multiple databases that are eventually consistent (Active-Active setup) and handling failures by failover across databases.
More information could be found in docs.
🚀 New Features
- Support for maintenance push notifications handling during server upgrade or maintenance procedures. (#3756 #3777 #3778 #3779 #3785)

- Adding ssl_verify_flags_config argument for ssl connection configuration (#3772)
