Below is a list of performance and stability improvements and bug fixes, each with an open source reference, if available:

• Stability: table::snapshot might hang if a shard hits an error #10500
• Stability: Multiple reactor stalls after ScyllaDB starts. This fix disables the stall detector during startup.
• Stability: From time to time, ScyllaDB needs to move sstables from one directory to another. If ScyllaDB crashed at exactly the wrong moment, it could leave valid sstables in both the old and the new places. #7429
• Stability: latency during manager repair – describe_ring API call #9280
• LWT: Provide default for serial_consistency even if not specified in request #7850
• ScyllaDB will now close the connection when a too-large request arrives; previously ScyllaDB would read and discard the request. The new behavior protects against having to read and discard potentially gigabytes of data. #8798
• Stability: The cache abstraction that is used to implement the prepared statement cache has been made more robust, eliminating cases where the entry expired prematurely. #8920
• Stability: Messaging: default tenants (user and system queries) are not isolated. As a result, one node latency might increase a peer node latency #9505
• CDC: nodetool checkAndRepairCdcStreams should create a new generation when there are too many streams #9772
• Stability: prepared_statements_cache / loading_cache load vs invalidate race can result in stale prepared statements #10117
• CQL: Clustering Key with DESC direction cannot be queried by “LIKE” operator #10183
• Alternator – empty AttributesToGet should be forbidden #10332
• Setup: scylla_setup failing in artifacts test on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. The root cause is the Storage field of “coredumpctl info” changed at systemd-v248, it added “(present)” at the end of the line when the coredump file was available. #10669
• Stability (Materialized views): trace state shared_ptr is used-after-move #11015
