+      <p>This quarter a new <tt>-dev</tt> version of MySQL landed in
+	the port tree, MySQL 8.0.  It introduces many new features,
+	though we had to (re)-patch parts of it which were merged by
+	MySQL from MySQL5.7.</p>
+
+      <p>We also updated MySQL 5.6 to latest version and closed bunch
+	of PRs related to it, mostly about using &os;-provided ports
+	for librariess instead of the bundled copies.  And of course
+	there were plenty of security updates.</p>
+
+      <p>We can also report that the problem of having to specify
+      <tt>${mysql_optfile}</tt>, which some people encountered while
+      using MySQL, is now considered to be solved in all MySQL
+      versions: 5.6, 5.7, and 8.0.  Now the init script will search
+      all default locations, for backwards compatibility with the
+      variety of locations used for configuration files before it
+      gives up and reports an error.</p>
