* The setting `input_format_null_as_default` is enabled by default. [#17525](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17525) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Check settings constraints for profile settings from config. Server will fail to start if users.xml contain settings that do not meet corresponding constraints. [#18486](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18486) ([tavplubix](https://github.com/tavplubix)).
* Restrict `ALTER MODIFY SETTING` from changing storage settings that affects data parts (`write_final_mark` and `enable_mixed_granularity_parts`). [#18306](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18306) ([Amos Bird](https://github.com/amosbird)).
* Set `insert_quorum_parallel` to 1 by default. It is significantly more convenient to use than "sequential" quorum inserts. But if you rely to sequential consistency, you should set the setting back to zero. [#17567](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17567) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Removed aggregate functions `timeSeriesGroupSum`, `timeSeriesGroupRateSum` because a friend of mine said they never worked. This fixes [#16869](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/16869). If you have luck using these functions, write a email to clickhouse-feedback@yandex-team.com. [#17423](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17423) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Prohibit toUnixTimestamp(Date()) (before it just returns UInt16 representation of Date). [#17376](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17376) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Allow using extended integer types (`Int128`, `Int256`, `UInt256`) in `avg` and `avgWeighted` functions. Also allow using different types (integer, decimal, floating point) for value and for weight in `avgWeighted` function. This is a backward-incompatible change: now the `avg` and `avgWeighted` functions always return `Float64` (as documented). Before this change the return type for `Decimal` arguments was also `Decimal`. [#15419](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/15419) ([Mike](https://github.com/myrrc)).
* Expression `toUUID(N)` no longer works. Replace with `toUUID('00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000')`. This change is motivated by non-obvious results of `toUUID(N)` where N is non zero.
* SSL Certificates with incorrect "key usage" are rejected. In previous versions they are used to work. See [#19262](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/19262).
* Implement `UNION DISTINCT` and treat the plain `UNION` clause as `UNION DISTINCT` by default. Add a setting `union_default_mode` that allows to treat it as `UNION ALL` or require explicit mode specification. [#16338](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/16338) ([flynn](https://github.com/ucasFL)).
* Added function `accurateCastOrNull`. This closes [#10290](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/10290). Add type conversions in `x IN (subquery)` expressions. This closes [#10266](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/10266). [#16724](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/16724) ([Maksim Kita](https://github.com/kitaisreal)).
* IP Dictionary supports key fetching. Resolves [#18241](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/18241). [#18480](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18480) ([vdimir](https://github.com/vdimir)).
* Add `*.zst` compression/decompression support for data import and export. It enables using `*.zst` in `file()` function and `Content-encoding: zstd` in HTTP client. This closes [#16791 ](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/16791). [#17144](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17144) ([Abi Palagashvili](https://github.com/fibersel)).
* Added `mannWitneyUTest`, `studentTTest` and `welchTTest` aggregate functions. Refactored `rankCorr` a bit. [#16883](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/16883) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov)).
* Implement `countSubstrings()`/`countSubstringsCaseInsensitive()`/`countSubstringsCaseInsensitiveUTF8()` (Count the number of substring occurrences). [#17347](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17347) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Add information about used databases, tables and columns in system.query_log. Add `query_kind` and `normalized_query_hash` fields. [#17726](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17726) ([Amos Bird](https://github.com/amosbird)).
* Add a setting `optimize_on_insert`. When enabled, do the same transformation for INSERTed block of data as if merge was done on this block (e.g. Replacing, Collapsing, Aggregating...). This setting is enabled by default. This can influence Materialized View and MaterializeMySQL behaviour (see detailed description). This closes [#10683](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/10683). [#16954](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/16954) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Kerberos Authenticaiton for HDFS. [#16621](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/16621) ([Ilya Golshtein](https://github.com/ilejn)).
* Support `SHOW SETTINGS` statement to show parameters in system.settings. `SHOW CHANGED SETTINGS` and `LIKE/ILIKE` clause are also supported. [#18056](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18056) ([Jianmei Zhang](https://github.com/zhangjmruc)).
* Function `position` now supports `POSITION(needle IN haystack)` synax for SQL compatibility. This closes [#18701](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/18701). ... [#18779](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18779) ([Jianmei Zhang](https://github.com/zhangjmruc)).
* Now we have a new storage setting `max_partitions_to_read` for tables in the MergeTree family. It limits the max number of partitions that can be accessed in one query. A user setting `force_max_partition_limit` is also added to enforce this constraint. [#18712](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18712) ([Amos Bird](https://github.com/amosbird)).
* Add `query_id` column to `system.part_log` for inserted parts. Closes [#10097](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/10097). [#18644](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18644) ([flynn](https://github.com/ucasFL)).
* Allow create table as select with columns specification. Example `CREATE TABLE t1 (x String) ENGINE = Memory AS SELECT 1;`. [#18060](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18060) ([Maksim Kita](https://github.com/kitaisreal)).
* Implemented `ATTACH TABLE name FROM 'path/to/data/' (col1 Type1, ...` query. It creates new table with provided structure and attaches table data from provided directory in `user_files`. [#17903](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17903) ([tavplubix](https://github.com/tavplubix)).
* Add mutation support for StorageMemory. This closes [#9117](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/9117). [#15127](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/15127) ([flynn](https://github.com/ucasFL)).
* Support syntax `EXISTS DATABASE name`. [#18458](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18458) ([Du Chuan](https://github.com/spongedu)).

* Add a new setting `insert_distributed_one_random_shard = 1` to allow insertion into multi-sharded distributed table without any distributed key. [#18294](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18294) ([Amos Bird](https://github.com/amosbird)).
* Add settings `min_compress_block_size` and `max_compress_block_size` to MergeTreeSettings, which have higher priority than the global settings and take effect when they are set. close [13890](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/13890). [#17867](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17867) ([flynn](https://github.com/ucasFL)).
* Extended `OPTIMIZE ... DEDUPLICATE` syntax to allow explicit (or implicit with asterisk/column transformers) list of columns to check for duplicates on. ... [#17846](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17846) ([Vasily Nemkov](https://github.com/Enmk)).
* Added functions `toModifiedJulianDay`, `fromModifiedJulianDay`, `toModifiedJulianDayOrNull`, and `fromModifiedJulianDayOrNull`. These functions convert between Proleptic Gregorian calendar date and Modified Julian Day number. [#17750](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17750) ([PHO](https://github.com/depressed-pho)).
* Add ability to use custom TLD list: added functions `firstSignificantSubdomainCustom`, `cutToFirstSignificantSubdomainCustom`. [#17748](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17748) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Add support for `PROXYv1` protocol to wrap native TCP interface. Allow quotas to be keyed by proxy-forwarded IP address (applied for `PROXYv1` address and for `X-Forwarded-For` from HTTP interface). This is useful when you provide access to ClickHouse only via trusted proxy (e.g. CloudFlare) but want to account user resources by their original IP addresses. This fixes [#17268](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/17268). [#17707](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17707) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Now clickhouse-client supports opening `EDITOR` to edit commands. `Alt-Shift-E`. [#17665](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17665) ([Amos Bird](https://github.com/amosbird)).
* Add function `encodeXMLComponent` to escape characters to place string into XML text node or attribute. [#17659](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17659) ([nauta](https://github.com/nautaa)).
* Introduce `DETACH TABLE/VIEW ... PERMANENTLY` syntax, so that after restarting the table does not reappear back automatically on restart (only by explicit request). The table can still be attached back using the short syntax ATTACH TABLE. Implements [#5555](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/5555). Fixes [#13850](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/13850). [#17642](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17642) ([filimonov](https://github.com/filimonov)).

* Add settings `limit` and `offset` for out-of-SQL pagination: [#16176](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/16176) They are useful for building APIs. These two settings will affect SELECT query as if it is added like `select * from (your_original_select_query) t limit xxx offset xxx;`. [#17633](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17633) ([hexiaoting](https://github.com/hexiaoting)).
* Provide a new aggregator combinator : `-SimpleState` to build `SimpleAggregateFunction` types via query. It's useful for defining MaterializedView of AggregatingMergeTree engine, and will benefit projections too. [#16853](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/16853) ([Amos Bird](https://github.com/amosbird)).
* Added `queries-file` parameter for `clickhouse-client` and `clickhouse-local`. [#15930](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/15930) ([Maksim Kita](https://github.com/kitaisreal)).
* Added `query` parameter for `clickhouse-benchmark`. [#17832](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17832) ([Maksim Kita](https://github.com/kitaisreal)).
*`EXPLAIN AST` now support queries other then `SELECT`. [#18136](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18136) ([taiyang-li](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).

* LDAP integration: Added `verification_cooldown` parameter in LDAP server connection configuration to allow caching of successful "bind" attempts for configurable period of time. [#15988](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/15988) ([Denis Glazachev](https://github.com/traceon)).
* Add `--no-system-table` option for `clickhouse-local` to run without system tables. This avoids initialization of `DateLUT` that may take noticeable amount of time (tens of milliseconds) at startup. [#18899](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18899) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Replace `PODArray` with `PODArrayWithStackMemory` in `AggregateFunctionWindowFunnelData` to improve `windowFunnel` function performance. [#18817](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18817) ([flynn](https://github.com/ucasFL)).
* Don't send empty blocks to shards on synchronous INSERT into Distributed table. This closes [#14571](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/14571). [#18775](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18775) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Optimized read for StorageMemory. [#18052](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18052) ([Maksim Kita](https://github.com/kitaisreal)).
* Using Dragonbox algorithm for float to string conversion instead of ryu. This improves performance of float to string conversion significantly. [#17831](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17831) ([Maksim Kita](https://github.com/kitaisreal)).
* Add `remerge_sort_lowered_memory_bytes_ratio` setting (If memory usage after remerge does not reduced by this ratio, remerge will be disabled). [#17539](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17539) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Improve performance of AggregatingMergeTree with SimpleAggregateFunction(String) in PK. [#17109](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17109) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Now the `-If` combinator is devirtualized, and `count` is properly vectorized. It is for [this PR](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17041). [#17043](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17043) ([Amos Bird](https://github.com/amosbird)).
* Fix performance of reading from `Merge` tables over huge number of `MergeTree` tables. Fixes [#7748](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/7748). [#16988](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/16988) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Improved performance of function `repeat`. [#16937](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/16937) ([satanson](https://github.com/satanson)).
* Slightly improved performance of float parsing. [#16809](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/16809) ([Maksim Kita](https://github.com/kitaisreal)).
* Add possibility to skip merged partitions for `OPTIMIZE TABLE ... FINAL`. [#15939](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/15939) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Integrate with [fast_float from Daniel Lemire](https://github.com/lemire/fast_float) to parse floating point numbers. [#16787](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/16787) ([Maksim Kita](https://github.com/kitaisreal)). It is not enabled, because performance its performance is still lower than rough float parser in ClickHouse.
* Adaptive choice of single/multi part upload when sending data to S3. Single part upload is controlled by a new setting `max_single_part_upload_size`. [#17934](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17934) ([Pavel Kovalenko](https://github.com/Jokser)).
* Support for async tasks in `PipelineExecutor`. Initial support of async sockets for remote queries. [#17868](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17868) ([Nikolai Kochetov](https://github.com/KochetovNicolai)).
* Allow to use `optimize_move_to_prewhere` optimization with compact parts, when sizes of columns are unknown. [#17330](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17330) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
#### Improvement
* Avoid deadlock when executing INSERT SELECT into itself from a table with `TinyLog` or `Log` table engines. This closes [#6802](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/6802). This closes [#18691](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/18691). This closes [#16812](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/16812). This closes [#14570](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/14570). [#15260](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/15260) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Support `SHOW CREATE VIEW name` syntax like [MySQL](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/show-create-view.html). [#18095](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18095) ([Du Chuan](https://github.com/spongedu)).
* All queries of type `Decimal * Float` or vice versa are allowed, including aggregate ones (e.g. `SELECT sum(decimal_field * 1.1)` or `SELECT dec_col * float_col`), the result type is Float32 or Float64. [#18145](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18145) ([Mike](https://github.com/myrrc)).
* Improved minimal Web UI: add history; add sharing support; avoid race condition of different requests; add request in-flight and ready indicators; add favicon; detect Ctrl+Enter if textarea is not in focus. [#17293](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17293) [#17770](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17770) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Avoid server abnormal termination in case of too low memory limits (`max_memory_usage = 1` / `max_untracked_memory = 1`). [#17453](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17453) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Fix non-deterministic result of `windowFunnel` function in case of same timestamp for different events. [#18884](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18884) ([Fuwang Hu](https://github.com/fuwhu)).
* Docker: Explicitly set uid / gid of clickhouse user & group to the fixed values (101) in clickhouse-server Docker images. [#19096](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/19096) ([filimonov](https://github.com/filimonov)).
* Asynchronous INSERTs to `Distributed` tables: Two new settings (by analogy with MergeTree family) has been added: - `fsync_after_insert` - Do fsync for every inserted. Will decreases performance of inserts. - `fsync_directories` - Do fsync for temporary directory (that is used for async INSERT only) after all operations (writes, renames, etc.). [#18864](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18864) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
*`SYSTEM KILL` command started to work in Docker. This closes [#18847](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/18847). [#18848](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18848) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Expand macros in the zk path when executing `FETCH PARTITION`. [#18839](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18839) ([fastio](https://github.com/fastio)).

* Allow column transformer `EXCEPT` to accept a string as regular expression matcher. This resolves [#18685](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/18685) . [#18699](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18699) ([Amos Bird](https://github.com/amosbird)).
* Fix SimpleAggregateFunction in SummingMergeTree. Now it works like AggregateFunction. In previous versions values were summed together regardless to the aggregate function. This fixes [#18564](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/18564) . [#8052](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/8052). [#18637](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18637) ([Amos Bird](https://github.com/amosbird)). Another fix of using `SimpleAggregateFunction` in `SummingMergeTree`. This fixes [#18676](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/18676) . [#18677](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18677) ([Amos Bird](https://github.com/amosbird)).
* Fixed assertion error inside allocator in case when last argument of function bar is NaN. Now simple ClickHouse's exception is being thrown. This fixes [#17876](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/17876). [#18520](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18520) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov)).
* Fix usability issue: no newline after exception message in some tools. [#18444](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18444) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Add ability to modify primary and partition key column type from `LowCardinality(Type)` to `Type` and vice versa. Also add an ability to modify primary key column type from `EnumX ` to `IntX` type. Fixes [#5604](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/5604). [#18362](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18362) ([alesapin](https://github.com/alesapin)).
* Implement `untuple` field access. [#18133](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/18133). [#18309](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18309) ([hexiaoting](https://github.com/hexiaoting)).
* Allow to parse Array fields from CSV if it is represented as a string containing array that was serialized as nested CSV. Example: `"[""Hello"", ""world"", ""42"""" TV""]"` will parse as `['Hello', 'world', '42" TV']`. Allow to parse array in CSV in a string without enclosing braces. Example: `"'Hello', 'world', '42"" TV'"` will parse as `['Hello', 'world', '42" TV']`. [#18271](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18271) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Make better adaptive granularity calculation for merge tree wide parts. [#18223](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18223) ([alesapin](https://github.com/alesapin)).
* Now `clickhouse install` could work on Mac. The problem was that there is no procfs on this platform. [#18201](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18201) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov)).
* Array aggregation `arrayMin`, `arrayMax`, `arraySum`, `arrayAvg` support for `Int128`, `Int256`, `UInt256`. [#18147](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18147) ([Maksim Kita](https://github.com/kitaisreal)).
* Add `disk` to Set and Join storage settings. [#18112](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18112) ([Grigory Pervakov](https://github.com/GrigoryPervakov)).
* Access control: Now table function `merge()` requires current user to have `SELECT` privilege on each table it receives data from. This PR fixes [#16964](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/16964). [#18104](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18104) [#17983](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17983) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar)).
* Temporary tables are visible in the system tables `system.tables` and `system.columns` now only in those session where they have been created. The internal database `_temporary_and_external_tables` is now hidden in those system tables; temporary tables are shown as tables with empty database with the `is_temporary` flag set instead. [#18014](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18014) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar)).
* Fix clickhouse-client rendering issue when the size of terminal window changes. [#18009](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18009) ([Amos Bird](https://github.com/amosbird)).
* Decrease log verbosity of the events when the client drops the connection from Warning to Information. [#18005](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/18005) ([filimonov](https://github.com/filimonov)).
* Forcibly removing empty or bad metadata files from filesystem for DiskS3. S3 is an experimental feature. [#17935](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/17935) ([Pavel Kovalenko](https://github.com/Jokser)).
