GA release v1.1.9 is a small release with some bug fixes. We are aiming to make smaller releases more regularly.
Thanks to all the contributors!

What's Changed

  • Add retry logic for instant DDL on lock wait timeout by @yosefbs in https://github.com/github/gh-ost/pull/1651

    • When --attempt-instant-ddl is enabled, it will retry on lock wait timeout up to --default-retries times. Retries are necessary in high-concurrency environments with metadata lock contention
