+# Percona Distribution for MySQL 8.0.44 using Percona Server for MySQL (2025-11-27)
+
+Percona Distribution for MySQL is the most stable, scalable, and secure open source MySQL distribution, with two download options: one based on Percona Server for MySQL and one based on Percona XtraDB Cluster. [Install Percona Distribution for MySQL](installing.md).
+
+This release is based on [Percona Server for MySQL 8.0.44-35](https://docs.percona.com/percona-server/8.0/release-notes/8.0.44-35.html) that includes all the features and bug fixes available in the [MySQL 8.0.44 Community Edition](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/8.0/en/news-8-0-44.html) and enterprise-grade features developed by Percona.
+
+## Release highlights
+
+### Percona Server for MySQL 8.0.44-35
+
+Announcement – Discontinuation of the Percona PRO Program
+
+Percona has consolidated its build offerings. The Pro builds are no longer required, and all features have been merged into the main open source Community release.
+
+### MySQL 8.0.44
+
+Improvements and bug fixes provided by Oracle for MySQL 8.0.44 and included in Percona Server for MySQL are the following:
+
+* Fixed an issue where parallel scan thread creation could fail, causing assertion failures when falling back to single-thread mode. (Bug #38325137)
+
+* Fixed an issue where virtual index rollback could fail on 32-bit builds of MySQL Server under certain circumstances. (Bug #38167527)
+
+* Fixed an issue where very large buffer pools could require excessive memory chunks per instance, potentially causing allocation failures. The allocation is now validated to ensure proper memory allocation. (Bug #37994397)
+
+* Fixed an issue where assertion failures could occur due to data size and bounds mismatches during DDL file operations. (Bug #37882398)
+
+* Fixed an issue related to modifying the internal Full-Text Search (FTS) configuration. (Bug #37792010)
+
+* Fixed an issue related to virtual indexes. (Bug #37602657)
+
+* Fixed an issue where confusing warning messages could appear when row sizes exceeded maximum allowed limits with `innodb_strict_mode=OFF`, such as during table selection or column dropping operations. Error messages have been improved for clarity. (Bug #37003342, Bug #36768046, Bug #36867372)
