Altinity Stable for ClickHouse 22.3.8

Released: 2022-07-21
A few months ago we certified 21.8 as an Altinity Stable release. It was delivered together with the Altinity Stable build for ClickHouse. Since then many things have happened to ClickHouse. In Altinity we continued to work on newer releases and run them in-house. We completed several new features, and many more have been added by community contributors. We started testing the new ClickHouse LTS release 22.3 as soon as it was out in late March. It took us more than three months to confirm 22.3 is ready for production use and to make sure upgrades go smoothly. As of 22.3.8 we are confident in certifying 22.3 as an Altinity Stable release.
For more details, see the full release notes.
