  • Use the correct disk mount point while calculating disk usage of logs. (5983)
  • Fixes to delete backups for TLS-enabled universes. (5980)
Core database
  • Fix for bug with the duplicate row detection that allows a unique index to get created when the table is not unique on the index columns. (5811)

  • Fixes to a bug with the duplicate row detection that allows a unique index to get created when the table is not unique on the index columns.
