MySQL 8.0.42 Installer, ODBC 9.3.0 and Connector/J removed from Archives – any official explanation?
Hello,
We noticed that the following MySQL artifacts are no longer available in the MySQL Product Archives:
- MySQL Installer Community MSI 8.0.42
- MySQL Connector/ODBC 9.3.0 MSI
- MySQL Connector/J corresponding to MySQL 8.0.42
Other surrounding versions such as 8.0.41 and 8.0.43 are still present in the archive, but exactly these versions are missing.
We were using these versions as prerequisites in our enterprise product installer, and customers are now unable to download them from the official MySQL site.
Could someone from Oracle or the community please clarify:
1. Were these artifacts intentionally removed from the archives?
2. Was there any official announcement or document about this removal?
3. Is there any possibility these versions will be restored in the archives?
4. What is the officially recommended replacement version?
Thank you for your guidance.
