* The behavior of `*domain*RFC` and `netloc` functions is slightly changed: relaxed the set of symbols that are allowed in the URL authority for better conformance. [#46841](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46841) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Prohibited creating tables based on KafkaEngine with DEFAULT/EPHEMERAL/ALIAS/MATERIALIZED statements for columns. [#47138](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47138) ([Aleksandr Musorin](https://github.com/AVMusorin)).
* An "asynchronous connection drain" feature is removed. Related settings and metrics are removed as well. It was an internal feature, so the removal should not affect users who had never heard about that feature. [#47486](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47486) ([Alexander Tokmakov](https://github.com/tavplubix)).
* Support 256-bit Decimal data type (more than 38 digits) in `arraySum`/`Min`/`Max`/`Avg`/`Product`, `arrayCumSum`/`CumSumNonNegative`, `arrayDifference`, array construction, IN operator, query parameters, `groupArrayMovingSum`, statistical functions, `min`/`max`/`any`/`argMin`/`argMax`, PostgreSQL wire protocol, MySQL table engine and function, `sumMap`, `mapAdd`, `mapSubtract`, `arrayIntersect`. Add support for big integers in `arrayIntersect`. Statistical aggregate functions involving moments (such as `corr` or various `TTest`s) will use `Float64` as their internal representation (they were using `Decimal128` before this change, but it was pointless), and these functions can return `nan` instead of `inf` in case of infinite variance. Some functions were allowed on `Decimal256` data types but returned `Decimal128` in previous versions - now it is fixed. This closes [#47569](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/47569). This closes [#44864](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/44864). This closes [#28335](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/28335). [#47594](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47594) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Make backup_threads/restore_threads server settings (instead of user settings). [#47881](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47881) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Do not allow const and non-deterministic secondary indices [#46839](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46839) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
#### New Feature
* Add new mode for splitting the work on replicas using settings `parallel_replicas_custom_key` and `parallel_replicas_custom_key_filter_type`. If the cluster consists of a single shard with multiple replicas, up to `max_parallel_replicas` will be randomly picked and turned into shards. For each shard, a corresponding filter is added to the query on the initiator before being sent to the shard. If the cluster consists of multiple shards, it will behave the same as `sample_key` but with the possibility to define an arbitrary key. [#45108](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45108) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* An option to display partial result on cancel: Added query setting `partial_result_on_first_cancel` allowing the canceled query (e.g. due to Ctrl-C) to return a partial result. [#45689](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45689) ([Alexey Perevyshin](https://github.com/alexX512)).
* Added support of arbitrary tables engines for temporary tables (except for Replicated and KeeperMap engines). Close [#31497](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/31497). [#46071](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46071) ([Roman Vasin](https://github.com/rvasin)).
* Add support for replication of user-defined SQL functions using a centralized storage in Keeper. [#46085](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46085) ([Aleksei Filatov](https://github.com/aalexfvk)).
* Implement `system.server_settings` (similar to `system.settings`), which will contain server configurations. [#46550](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46550) ([pufit](https://github.com/pufit)).
* Support for `UNDROP TABLE` query. Closes [#46811](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/46811). [#47241](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47241) ([chen](https://github.com/xiedeyantu)).
* Allow separate grants for named collections (e.g. to be able to give `SHOW/CREATE/ALTER/DROP named collection` access only to certain collections, instead of all at once). Closes [#40894](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/40894). Add new access type `NAMED_COLLECTION_CONTROL` which is not given to default user unless explicitly added to user config (is required to be able to do `GRANT ALL`), also `show_named_collections` is no longer obligatory to be manually specified for default user to be able to have full access rights as was in 23.2. [#46241](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46241) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Allow nested custom disks. Previously custom disks supported only flat disk structure. [#47106](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47106) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Intruduce a function `widthBucket` (with a `WIDTH_BUCKET` alias for compatibility). [#42974](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/42974). [#46790](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46790) ([avoiderboi](https://github.com/avoiderboi)).
* Add new function `parseDateTime`/`parseDateTimeInJodaSyntax` according to specified format string. parseDateTime parses string to datetime in MySQL syntax, parseDateTimeInJodaSyntax parses in Joda syntax. [#46815](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46815) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* Use `dummy UInt8` for default structure of table function `null`. Closes [#46930](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/46930). [#47006](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47006) ([flynn](https://github.com/ucasfl)).
* Support for date format with a comma, like `Dec 15, 2021` in the `parseDateTimeBestEffort` function. Closes [#46816](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/46816). [#47071](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47071) ([chen](https://github.com/xiedeyantu)).
* Add settings `http_wait_end_of_query` and `http_response_buffer_size` that corresponds to URL params `wait_end_of_query` and `buffer_size` for HTTP interface. This allows to change these settings in the profiles. [#47108](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47108) ([Vladimir C](https://github.com/vdimir)).
* Add `system.dropped_tables` table that shows tables that were dropped from `Atomic` databases but were not completely removed yet. [#47364](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47364) ([chen](https://github.com/xiedeyantu)).
* Add `INSTR` as alias of `positionCaseInsensitive` for MySQL compatibility. Closes [#47529](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/47529). [#47535](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47535) ([flynn](https://github.com/ucasfl)).
* Added `toDecimalString` function allowing to convert numbers to string with fixed precision. [#47838](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47838) ([Andrey Zvonov](https://github.com/zvonand)).
* Add a merge tree setting `max_number_of_mutations_for_replica`. It limits the number of part mutations per replica to the specified amount. Zero means no limit on the number of mutations per replica (the execution can still be constrained by other settings). [#48047](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/48047) ([Vladimir C](https://github.com/vdimir)).
* Add Map-related function `mapFromArrays`, which allows us to create map from a pair of arrays. [#31125](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/31125) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* Allow control compression in Parquet/ORC/Arrow output formats, support more compression for input formats. This closes [#13541](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/13541). [#47114](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47114) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Add SSL User Certificate authentication to the native protocol. Closes [#47077](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/47077). [#47596](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47596) ([Nikolay Degterinsky](https://github.com/evillique)).
* Add *OrNull() and *OrZero() variants for `parseDateTime`, add alias `str_to_date` for MySQL parity. [#48000](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/48000) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Added operator `REGEXP` (similar to operators "LIKE", "IN", "MOD" etc.) for better compatibility with MySQL [#47869](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47869) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
#### Performance Improvement
* Marks in memory are now compressed, using 3-6x less memory. [#47290](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47290) ([Michael Kolupaev](https://github.com/al13n321)).
* Backups for large numbers of files were unbelievably slow in previous versions. Not anymore. Now they are unbelievably fast. [#47251](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47251) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)). Introduced a separate thread pool for backup's IO operations. This will allow to scale it independently of other pools and increase performance. [#47174](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47174) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov)). Use MultiRead request and retries for collecting metadata at final stage of backup processing. [#47243](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47243) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov)). If a backup and restoring data are both in S3 then server-side copy should be used from now on. [#47546](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47546) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar)).
* Fixed excessive reading in queries with `FINAL`. [#47801](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47801) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Setting `max_final_threads` would be set to number of cores at server startup (by the same algorithm as we use for `max_threads`). This improves concurrency of `final` execution on servers with high number of CPUs. [#47915](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47915) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Allow executing reading pipeline for DIRECT dictionary with CLICKHOUSE source in multiple threads. To enable set `dictionary_use_async_executor=1` in `SETTINGS` section for source in `CREATE DICTIONARY` statement. [#47986](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47986) ([Vladimir C](https://github.com/vdimir)).
* Optimize one nullable key aggregate performance. [#45772](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45772) ([LiuNeng](https://github.com/liuneng1994)).
* Implemented lowercase `tokenbf_v1` index utilization for `hasTokenOrNull`, `hasTokenCaseInsensitive` and `hasTokenCaseInsensitiveOrNull`. [#46252](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46252) ([ltrk2](https://github.com/ltrk2)).
* Optimize functions `position` and `LIKE` by searching the first two chars using SIMD. [#46289](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46289) ([Jiebin Sun](https://github.com/jiebinn)).
* Optimize queries from the `system.detached_parts`, which could be significantly large. Added several sources with respect to the block size limitation; in each block an IO thread pool is used to calculate the part size, i.e. to make syscalls in parallel. [#46624](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46624) ([Sema Checherinda](https://github.com/CheSema)).
* Increase the default value of `max_replicated_merges_in_queue` for ReplicatedMergeTree tables from 16 to 1000. It allows faster background merge operation on clusters with a very large number of replicas, such as clusters with shared storage in ClickHouse Cloud. [#47050](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47050) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Updated `clickhouse-copier` to use `GROUP BY` instead of `DISTINCT` to get list of partitions. For large tables this reduced the select time from over 500s to under 1s. [#47386](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47386) ([Clayton McClure](https://github.com/cmcclure-twilio)).
* Fix performance degradation in `ASOF JOIN`. [#47544](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47544) ([Ongkong](https://github.com/ongkong)).
* Even more batching in Keeper. Avoid breaking batches on read requests to improve performance. [#47978](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47978) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).

* Allow to ignore errors while pushing to MATERIALIZED VIEW (add new setting `materialized_views_ignore_errors`, by default to `false`, but it is set to `true` for flushing logs to `system.*_log` tables unconditionally). [#46658](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46658) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Track the file queue of distributed sends in memory. [#45491](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45491) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Now `X-ClickHouse-Query-Id` and `X-ClickHouse-Timezone` headers are added to response in all queries via http protocol. Previously it was done only for `SELECT` queries. [#46364](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46364) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* External tables from `MongoDB`: support for connection to a replica set via a URI with a host:port enum and support for the readPreference option in MongoDB dictionaries. Example URI: mongodb://db0.example.com:27017,db1.example.com:27017,db2.example.com:27017/?replicaSet=myRepl&readPreference=primary. [#46524](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46524) ([artem-yadr](https://github.com/artem-yadr)).
* This improvement should be invisible for users. Re-implement projection analysis on top of query plan. Added setting `query_plan_optimize_projection=1` to switch between old and new version. Fixes [#44963](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/44963). [#46537](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46537) ([Nikolai Kochetov](https://github.com/KochetovNicolai)).
* Use parquet format v2 instead of v1 in output format by default. Add setting `output_format_parquet_version` to control parquet version, possible values `1.0`, `2.4`, `2.6`, `2.latest` (default). [#46617](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46617) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* It is now possible using new configuration syntax to configure Kafka topics with periods (`.`) in their name. [#46752](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46752) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Fix heuristics that check hyperscan patterns for problematic repeats. [#46819](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46819) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Don't report ZK node exists to system.errors when a block was created concurrently by a different replica. [#46820](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46820) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Increase the limit for opened files in `clickhouse-local`. It will be able to read from `web` tables on servers with a huge number of CPU cores. Do not back off reading from the URL table engine in case of too many opened files. This closes [#46852](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/46852). [#46853](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46853) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).

* Allow types conversion in Native input format. Add settings `input_format_native_allow_types_conversion` that controls it (enabled by default). [#46990](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46990) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Allow IPv4 in the `range` function to generate IP ranges. [#46995](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46995) ([Yakov Olkhovskiy](https://github.com/yakov-olkhovskiy)).
* Improve exception message when it's impossible to make part move from one volume/disk to another. [#47032](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47032) ([alesapin](https://github.com/alesapin)).
* Support `Bool` type in `JSONType` function. Previously `Null` type was mistakenly returned for bool values. [#47046](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47046) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Use `_request_body` parameter to configure predefined HTTP queries. [#47086](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47086) ([Constantine Peresypkin](https://github.com/pkit)).
* Automatic indentation in the built-in UI SQL editor when Enter is pressed. [#47113](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47113) ([Alexey Korepanov](https://github.com/alexkorep)).
* Self-extraction with 'sudo' will attempt to set uid and gid of extracted files to running user. [#47116](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47116) ([Yakov Olkhovskiy](https://github.com/yakov-olkhovskiy)).
* Previously, the `repeat` function's second argument only accepted an unsigned integer type, which meant it could not accept values such as -1. This behavior differed from that of the Spark function. In this update, the repeat function has been modified to match the behavior of the Spark function. It now accepts the same types of inputs, including negative integers. Extensive testing has been performed to verify the correctness of the updated implementation. [#47134](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47134) ([KevinyhZou](https://github.com/KevinyhZou)). Note: the changelog entry was rewritten by ChatGPT.
* Remove `::__1` part from stacktraces. Display `std::basic_string<char, ...` as `String` in stacktraces. [#47171](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47171) ([Mike Kot](https://github.com/myrrc)).
* Reimplement interserver mode to avoid replay attacks (note, that change is backward compatible with older servers). [#47213](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47213) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Better recognize regular expression groups and refine the regexp_tree dictionary. [#47218](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47218) ([Han Fei](https://github.com/hanfei1991)).
* Keeper improvement: Add new 4LW `clrs` to clean resources used by Keeper (e.g. release unused memory). [#47256](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47256) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* Add optional arguments to codecs `DoubleDelta(bytes_size)`, `Gorilla(bytes_size)`, `FPC(level, float_size)`, it will allow using this codecs without column type in `clickhouse-compressor`. Fix possible abrots and arithmetic errors in `clickhouse-compressor` with these codecs. Fixes: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/discussions/47262. [#47271](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47271) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Add support for big int types to the `runningDifference` function. Closes [#47194](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/47194). [#47322](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47322) ([Nikolay Degterinsky](https://github.com/evillique)).
* Add an expiration window for S3 credentials that have an expiration time to avoid `ExpiredToken` errors in some edge cases. It can be controlled with `expiration_window_seconds` config, the default is 120 seconds. [#47423](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47423) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* Support Decimals and Date32 in `Avro` format. [#47434](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47434) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Do not start the server if an interrupted conversion from `Ordinary` to `Atomic` was detected, print a better error message with troubleshooting instructions. [#47487](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47487) ([Alexander Tokmakov](https://github.com/tavplubix)).
* Add a new column `kind` to the `system.opentelemetry_span_log`. This column holds the value of [SpanKind](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/reference/specification/trace/api/#spankind) defined in OpenTelemtry. [#47499](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47499) ([Frank Chen](https://github.com/FrankChen021)).
* Allow reading/writing nested arrays in `Protobuf` format with only root field name as column name. Previously column name should've contain all nested field names (like `a.b.c Array(Array(Array(UInt32)))`, now you can use just `a Array(Array(Array(UInt32)))`. [#47650](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47650) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Added an optional `STRICT` modifier for `SYSTEM SYNC REPLICA` which makes the query wait for replication queue to become empty (just like it worked before https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45648). [#47659](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47659) ([Alexander Tokmakov](https://github.com/tavplubix)).

[#47716](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47716) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Support for subquery in parameterized views; resolves [#46741](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/46741) [#47725](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47725) ([SmitaRKulkarni](https://github.com/SmitaRKulkarni)).
* Fix memory leak in MySQL integration (reproduces with `connection_auto_close=1`). [#47732](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47732) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Improved error handling in the code related to Decimal parameters, resulting in more informative error messages. Previously, when incorrect Decimal parameters were supplied, the error message generated was unclear or unhelpful. With this update, the error print message has been fixed to provide more detailed and useful information, making it easier to identify and correct issues related to Decimal parameters. [#47812](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47812) ([Yu Feng](https://github.com/Vigor-jpg)). Note: this changelog entry is rewritten by ChatGPT.
* The parameter `exact_rows_before_limit` is used to make `rows_before_limit_at_least` is designed to accurately reflect the number of rows returned before the limit is reached. This pull request addresses issues encountered when the query involves distributed processing across multiple shards or sorting operations. Prior to this update, these scenarios were not functioning as intended. [#47874](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47874) ([Amos Bird](https://github.com/amosbird)).
* Add `WriteBufferFromS3Microseconds` and `WriteBufferFromS3RequestsErrors` profile events. [#47885](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47885) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).

* Fixed `UNKNOWN_TABLE` exception when attaching to a materialized view that has dependent tables that are not available. This might be useful when trying to restore state from a backup. [#47975](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47975) ([MikhailBurdukov](https://github.com/MikhailBurdukov)).
* Fix case when (optional) path is not added to encrypted disk configuration. [#47981](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47981) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).

* Fix possible member call on null pointer in `Avro` format [#48184](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/48184) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Extend function "toDayOfWeek()" (alias: "DAYOFWEEK") with a mode argument that encodes whether the week starts on Monday or Sunday and whether counting starts at 0 or 1. For consistency with other date time functions, the mode argument was inserted between the time and the time zone arguments. This breaks existing usage of the (previously undocumented) 2-argument syntax "toDayOfWeek(time, time_zone)". A fix is to rewrite the function into "toDayOfWeek(time, 0, time_zone)". [#45233](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45233) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Rename setting `max_query_cache_size` to `filesystem_cache_max_download_size`. [#45614](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45614) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* The `default` user will not have permissions for access type `SHOW NAMED COLLECTION` by default (e.g. `default` user will no longer be able to grant ALL to other users as it was before, therefore this PR is backward incompatible). [#46010](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46010) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* If the SETTINGS clause is specified before the FORMAT clause, the settings will be applied to formatting as well. [#46003](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46003) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Remove support for setting `materialized_postgresql_allow_automatic_update` (which was by default turned off). [#46106](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46106) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Slightly improve performance of `countDigits` on realistic datasets. This closed [#44518](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/44518). In previous versions, `countDigits(0)` returned `0`; now it returns `1`, which is more correct, and follows the existing documentation. [#46187](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46187) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Disallow creation of new columns compressed by a combination of codecs "Delta" or "DoubleDelta" followed by codecs "Gorilla" or "FPC". This can be bypassed using setting "allow_suspicious_codecs = true". [#45652](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45652) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
#### New Feature
* Add `StorageIceberg` and table function `iceberg` to access iceberg table store on S3. [#45384](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45384) ([flynn](https://github.com/ucasfl)).
* Allow configuring storage as `SETTINGS disk = '<disk_name>'` (instead of `storage_policy`) and with explicit disk creation `SETTINGS disk = disk(type=s3, ...)`. [#41976](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41976) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Enrichment of the existing `ReplacingMergeTree` engine to allow duplicate the insertion. It leverages the power of both `ReplacingMergeTree` and `CollapsingMergeTree` in one MergeTree engine. Deleted data are not returned when queried, but not removed from disk neither. [#41005](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41005) ([youennL-cs](https://github.com/youennL-cs)).
* Add `corrMatrix` aggregate function, calculating each two columns. In addition, since Aggregatefunctions `covarSamp` and `covarPop` are similar to `corr`, I add `covarSampMatrix`, `covarPopMatrix` by the way. @alexey-milovidov closes [#44587](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/44587). [#44680](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44680) ([FFFFFFFHHHHHHH](https://github.com/FFFFFFFHHHHHHH)).
* Introduce arrayShuffle function for random array permutations. [#45271](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45271) ([Joanna Hulboj](https://github.com/jh0x)).
* Support types `FIXED_SIZE_BINARY` type in Arrow, `FIXED_LENGTH_BYTE_ARRAY` in `Parquet` and match them to `FixedString`. Add settings `output_format_parquet_fixed_string_as_fixed_byte_array/output_format_arrow_fixed_string_as_fixed_byte_array` to control default output type for FixedString. Closes [#45326](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/45326). [#45340](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45340) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Add a new column `last_exception_time` to system.replication_queue. [#45457](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45457) ([Frank Chen](https://github.com/FrankChen021)).
* Add two new functions which allow for user-defined keys/seeds with SipHash{64,128}. [#45513](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45513) ([Salvatore Mesoraca](https://github.com/aiven-sal)).
* Allow a three-argument version for table function `format`. close [#45808](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/45808). [#45873](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45873) ([FFFFFFFHHHHHHH](https://github.com/FFFFFFFHHHHHHH)).
* Add `JodaTime` format support for 'x','w','S'. Refer to https://joda-time.sourceforge.net/apidocs/org/joda/time/format/DateTimeFormat.html. [#46073](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46073) ([zk_kiger](https://github.com/zk-kiger)).
* Add setting `final` to implicitly apply the `FINAL` modifier to every table. [#40945](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40945) ([Arthur Passos](https://github.com/arthurpassos)).
* Added `arrayPartialSort` and `arrayPartialReverseSort` functions. [#46296](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46296) ([Joanna Hulboj](https://github.com/jh0x)).
* The new http parameter `client_protocol_version` allows setting a client protocol version for HTTP responses using the Native format. [#40397](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/40397). [#46360](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46360) ([Geoff Genz](https://github.com/genzgd)).
* Add new function `regexpExtract`, like spark function `REGEXP_EXTRACT` for compatibility. It is similar to the existing function `extract`. [#46469](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46469) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* Add new function `JSONArrayLength`, which returns the number of elements in the outermost JSON array. The function returns NULL if the input JSON string is invalid. [#46631](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46631) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
#### Performance Improvement
* The introduced logic works if PREWHERE condition is a conjunction of multiple conditions (cond1 AND cond2 AND ... ). It groups those conditions that require reading the same columns into steps. After each step the corresponding part of the full condition is computed and the result rows might be filtered. This allows to read fewer rows in the next steps thus saving IO bandwidth and doing less computation. This logic is disabled by default for now. It will be enabled by default in one of the future releases once it is known to not have any regressions, so it is highly encouraged to be used for testing. It can be controlled by 2 settings: "enable_multiple_prewhere_read_steps" and "move_all_conditions_to_prewhere". [#46140](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46140) ([Alexander Gololobov](https://github.com/davenger)).
* An option added to aggregate partitions independently if table partition key and group by key are compatible. Controlled by the setting `allow_aggregate_partitions_independently`. Disabled by default because of limited applicability (please refer to the docs). [#45364](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45364) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Allow using Vertical merge algorithm with parts in Compact format. This will allow ClickHouse server to use much less memory for background operations. This closes [#46084](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/46084). [#45681](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45681) [#46282](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46282) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Optimize `Parquet` reader by using batch reader. [#45878](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45878) ([LiuNeng](https://github.com/liuneng1994)).
* Add new `local_filesystem_read_method` method `io_uring` based on the asynchronous Linux [io_uring](https://kernel.dk/io_uring.pdf) subsystem, improving read performance almost universally compared to the default `pread` method. [#38456](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/38456) ([Saulius Valatka](https://github.com/sauliusvl)).
* Rewrite aggregate functions with `if` expression as argument when logically equivalent. For example, `avg(if(cond, col, null))` can be rewritten to avgIf(cond, col). It is helpful in performance. [#44730](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44730) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* Improve lower/upper function performance with avx512 instructions. [#37894](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37894) ([yaqi-zhao](https://github.com/yaqi-zhao)).
* Remove the limitation that on systems with >=32 cores and SMT disabled ClickHouse uses only half of the cores (the case when you disable Hyper Threading in BIOS). [#44973](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44973) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Improve performance of function `multiIf` by columnar executing, speed up by 2.3x. [#45296](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45296) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* Add fast path for function `position` when the needle is empty. [#45382](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45382) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* Enable `query_plan_remove_redundant_sorting` optimization by default. Optimization implemented in [#45420](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/45420). [#45567](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45567) ([Igor Nikonov](https://github.com/devcrafter)).
* Increased HTTP Transfer Encoding chunk size to improve performance of large queries using the HTTP interface. [#45593](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45593) ([Geoff Genz](https://github.com/genzgd)).
* Fixed performance of short `SELECT` queries that read from tables with large number of `Array`/`Map`/`Nested` columns. [#45630](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45630) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Improve performance of filtering for big integers and decimal types. [#45949](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45949) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* This change could effectively reduce the overhead of obtaining the filter from ColumnNullable(UInt8) and improve the overall query performance. To evaluate the impact of this change, we adopted TPC-H benchmark but revised the column types from non-nullable to nullable, and we measured the QPS of its queries as the performance indicator. [#45962](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45962) ([Zhiguo Zhou](https://github.com/ZhiguoZh)).
* Make the `_part` and `_partition_id` virtual column be `LowCardinality(String)` type. Closes [#45964](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/45964). [#45975](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45975) ([flynn](https://github.com/ucasfl)).
* Improve the performance of Decimal conversion when the scale does not change. [#46095](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46095) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Allow to increase prefetching for read data. [#46168](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46168) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Rewrite `arrayExists(x -> x = 1, arr)` -> `has(arr, 1)`, which improve performance by 1.34x. [#46188](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46188) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* Fix too big memory usage for vertical merges on non-remote disk. Respect `max_insert_delayed_streams_for_parallel_write` for the remote disk. [#46275](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46275) ([Nikolai Kochetov](https://github.com/KochetovNicolai)).
* Update zstd to v1.5.4. It has some minor improvements in performance and compression ratio. If you run replicas with different versions of ClickHouse you may see reasonable error messages `Data after merge/mutation is not byte-identical to data on another replicas.` with explanation. These messages are Ok and you should not worry. [#46280](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46280) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Fix performance degradation caused by [#39737](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/39737). [#46309](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46309) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* The `replicas_status` handle will answer quickly even in case of a large replication queue. [#46310](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46310) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Add avx512 support for aggregate function `sum`, function unary arithmetic, function comparison. [#37870](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37870) ([zhao zhou](https://github.com/zzachimed)).
* Rewrote the code around marks distribution and the overall coordination of the reading in order to achieve the maximum performance improvement. This closes [#34527](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/34527). [#43772](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43772) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov)).
* Remove redundant DISTINCT clauses in query (subqueries). Implemented on top of query plan. It does similar optimization as `optimize_duplicate_order_by_and_distinct` regarding DISTINCT clauses. Can be enabled via `query_plan_remove_redundant_distinct` setting. Related to [#42648](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/42648). [#44176](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44176) ([Igor Nikonov](https://github.com/devcrafter)).
* Improved how memory bound merging and aggregation in order on top query plan interact. Previously we fell back to explicit sorting for AIO in some cases when it wasn't actually needed. [#45892](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45892) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Concurrent merges are scheduled using round-robin by default to ensure fair and starvation-free operation. Previously in heavily overloaded shards, big merges could possibly be starved by smaller merges due to the use of strict priority scheduling. Added `background_merges_mutations_scheduling_policy` server config option to select scheduling algorithm (`round_robin` or `shortest_task_first`). [#46247](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46247) ([Sergei Trifonov](https://github.com/serxa)).
#### Improvement
* Enable retries for INSERT by default in case of ZooKeeper session loss. We already use it in production. [#46308](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46308) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Add ability to ignore unknown keys in JSON object for named tuples (`input_format_json_ignore_unknown_keys_in_named_tuple`). [#45678](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45678) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Support optimizing the `where` clause with sorting key expression move to `prewhere` for query with `final`. [#38893](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/38893). [#38950](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/38950) ([hexiaoting](https://github.com/hexiaoting)).
* Add new metrics for backups: num_processed_files and processed_files_size described actual number of processed files. [#42244](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42244) ([Aleksandr](https://github.com/AVMusorin)).
* Added retries on interserver DNS errors. [#43179](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43179) ([Anton Kozlov](https://github.com/tonickkozlov)).

* The `regexp_tree` dictionary is polished and now it is compatible with https://github.com/ua-parser/uap-core. [#45631](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45631) ([Han Fei](https://github.com/hanfei1991)).
* Rename setting `replication_alter_partitions_sync` to `alter_sync`. [#45659](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45659) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* The `generateRandom` table function and the engine now support `LowCardinality` data types. This is useful for testing, for example you can write `INSERT INTO table SELECT * FROM generateRandom() LIMIT 1000`. This is needed to debug [#45590](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/45590). [#45661](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45661) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).

* Renamed "query result cache" to "query cache". [#45682](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45682) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* add `SYSTEM SYNC FILE CACHE` command. It will do the `sync` syscall. [#8921](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/8921). [#45685](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45685) ([DR](https://github.com/freedomDR)).
* Add a new S3 setting `allow_head_object_request`. This PR makes usage of `GetObjectAttributes` request instead of `HeadObject` introduced in https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45288 optional (and disabled by default). [#45701](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45701) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar)).
* Add ability to override connection settings based on connection names (that said that now you can forget about storing password for each connection, you can simply put everything into `~/.clickhouse-client/config.xml` and even use different history files for them, which can be also useful). [#45715](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45715) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Arrow format: support the duration type. Closes [#45669](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/45669). [#45750](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45750) ([flynn](https://github.com/ucasfl)).

* Hide password in logs when a table function's arguments are specified with a named collection. [#45774](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45774) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar)).
* Improve internal S3 client to correctly deduce regions and redirections for different types of URLs. [#45783](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45783) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* Add support for Map, IPv4 and IPv6 types in generateRandom. Mostly useful for testing. [#45785](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45785) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Support empty/notEmpty for IP types. [#45799](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45799) ([Yakov Olkhovskiy](https://github.com/yakov-olkhovskiy)).
* The column `num_processed_files` was split into two columns: `num_files` (for BACKUP) and `files_read` (for RESTORE). The column `processed_files_size` was split into two columns: `total_size` (for BACKUP) and `bytes_read` (for RESTORE). [#45800](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45800) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar)).

* Add reference implementation for SipHash128. [#46065](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46065) ([Salvatore Mesoraca](https://github.com/aiven-sal)).
* Add a new metric to record allocations times and bytes using mmap. [#46068](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46068) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* Currently for functions like `leftPad`, `rightPad`, `leftPadUTF8`, `rightPadUTF8`, the second argument `length` must be UInt8|16|32|64|128|256. Which is too strict for clickhouse users, besides, it is not consistent with other similar functions like `arrayResize`, `substring` and so on. [#46103](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46103) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* Fix assertion in the `welchTTest` function in debug build when the resulting statistics is NaN. Unified the behavior with other similar functions. Change the behavior of `studentTTest` to return NaN instead of throwing an exception because the previous behavior was inconvenient. This closes [#41176](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/41176) This closes [#42162](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/42162). [#46141](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46141) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* More convenient usage of big integers and ORDER BY WITH FILL. Allow using plain integers for start and end points in WITH FILL when ORDER BY big (128-bit and 256-bit) integers. Fix the wrong result for big integers with negative start or end points. This closes [#16733](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/16733).

* Add `parts`, `active_parts` and `total_marks` columns to `system.tables` on [issue](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/44336). [#46161](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46161) ([attack204](https://github.com/attack204)).
* Functions "multi[Fuzzy]Match(Any|AnyIndex|AllIndices}" now reject regexes which will likely evaluate very slowly in vectorscan. [#46167](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46167) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* When `insert_null_as_default` is enabled and column doesn't have defined default value, the default of column type will be used. Also this PR fixes using default values on nulls in case of LowCardinality columns. [#46171](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46171) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Prefer explicitly defined access keys for S3 clients. If `use_environment_credentials` is set to `true`, and the user has provided the access key through query or config, they will be used instead of the ones from the environment variable. [#46191](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46191) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* Add an alias "DATE_FORMAT()" for function "formatDateTime()" to improve compatibility with MySQL's SQL dialect, extend function `formatDateTime` with substitutions "a", "b", "c", "h", "i", "k", "l" "r", "s", "W". ### Documentation entry for user-facing changes User-readable short description: `DATE_FORMAT` is an alias of `formatDateTime`. Formats a Time according to the given Format string. Format is a constant expression, so you cannot have multiple formats for a single result column. (Provide link to [formatDateTime](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/sql-reference/functions/date-time-functions/#formatdatetime)). [#46302](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46302) ([Jake Bamrah](https://github.com/JakeBamrah)).
* Add `ProfileEvents` and `CurrentMetrics` about the callback tasks for parallel replicas (`s3Cluster` and `MergeTree` tables). [#46313](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46313) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Add support for `DELETE` and `UPDATE` for tables using `KeeperMap` storage engine. [#46330](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46330) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* Exclude the internal database used for temporary/external tables from the calculation of asynchronous metric "NumberOfDatabases". This makes the behavior consistent with system table "system.databases". [#46435](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46435) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Added `last_exception_time` column into distribution_queue table. [#46564](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46564) ([Aleksandr](https://github.com/AVMusorin)).
* Support for IN clause with parameter in parameterized views. [#46583](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46583) ([SmitaRKulkarni](https://github.com/SmitaRKulkarni)).

* Flush data exactly by `rabbitmq_flush_interval_ms` or by `rabbitmq_max_block_size` in `StorageRabbitMQ`. Closes [#42389](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/42389). Closes [#45160](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/45160). [#44404](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44404) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).

* Fixes to correctly use `odbc_bridge_use_connection_pooling` setting. [#45591](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45591) ([Bharat Nallan](https://github.com/bharatnc)).
* When the callback in the cache is called, it is possible that this cache is destructed. To keep it safe, we capture members by value. It's also safe for task schedule because it will be deactivated before storage is destroyed. Resolve [#45548](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/45548). [#45601](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45601) ([Han Fei](https://github.com/hanfei1991)).

* When use experimental analyzer, queries like `SELECT number FROM numbers(100) LIMIT 10 OFFSET 10;` get wrong results (empty result for this sql). That is caused by an unnecessary offset step added by planner. [#45822](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45822) ([刘陶峰](https://github.com/taofengliu)).
* Backward compatibility - allow implicit narrowing conversion from UInt64 to IPv4 - required for "INSERT ... VALUES ..." expression. [#45865](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45865) ([Yakov Olkhovskiy](https://github.com/yakov-olkhovskiy)).

* Add the `query_kind` column to the `system.processes` table and the `SHOW PROCESSLIST` query. Remove duplicate code. It fixes a bug: the global configuration parameter `max_concurrent_select_queries` was not respected to queries with `INTERSECT` or `EXCEPT` chains. [#45872](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45872) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Fix crash in a function `stochasticLinearRegression`. Found by WingFuzz. [#45985](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45985) ([Nikolai Kochetov](https://github.com/KochetovNicolai)).

* Fix possible out of bounds error while reading LowCardinality(Nullable) in Arrow format. [#46270](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46270) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Fix `SYSTEM UNFREEZE` queries failing with the exception `CANNOT_PARSE_INPUT_ASSERTION_FAILED`. [#46325](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46325) ([Aleksei Filatov](https://github.com/aalexfvk)).
* Fix possible crash which can be caused by an integer overflow while deserializing aggregating state of a function that stores HashTable. [#46349](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46349) ([Nikolai Kochetov](https://github.com/KochetovNicolai)).
* Fix possible `LOGICAL_ERROR` in asynchronous inserts with invalid data sent in format `VALUES`. [#46350](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46350) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Fixed a LOGICAL_ERROR on an attempt to execute `ALTER ... MOVE PART ... TO TABLE`. This type of query was never actually supported. [#46359](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46359) ([Alexander Tokmakov](https://github.com/tavplubix)).
* Fix s3Cluster schema inference in parallel distributed insert select when `parallel_distributed_insert_select` is enabled. [#46381](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46381) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Fix queries like `ALTER TABLE ... UPDATE nested.arr1 = nested.arr2 ...`, where `arr1` and `arr2` are fields of the same `Nested` column. [#46387](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46387) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Scheduler may fail to schedule a task. If it happens, the whole MulityPartUpload should be aborted and `UploadHelper` must wait for already scheduled tasks. [#46451](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46451) ([Dmitry Novik](https://github.com/novikd)).
* Fix PREWHERE for Merge with different default types (fixes some `NOT_FOUND_COLUMN_IN_BLOCK` when the default type for the column differs, also allow `PREWHERE` when the type of column is the same across tables, and prohibit it, only if it differs). [#46454](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46454) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Fix a crash that could happen when constant values are used in `ORDER BY`. Fixes [#46466](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/46466). [#46493](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46493) ([Nikolai Kochetov](https://github.com/KochetovNicolai)).
* Do not throw exception if `disk` setting was specified on query level, but `storage_policy` was specified in config merge tree settings section. `disk` will override setting from config. [#46533](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46533) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Fix an invalid processing of constant `LowCardinality` argument in function `arrayMap`. This bug could lead to a segfault in release, and logical error `Bad cast` in debug build. [#46569](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46569) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Fix endless restarts of clickhouse-server systemd unit if server cannot start within 1m30sec (Disable timeout logic for starting clickhouse-server from systemd service). [#46613](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46613) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Allocated during asynchronous inserts memory buffers were deallocated in the global context and MemoryTracker counters for corresponding user and query were not updated correctly. That led to false positive OOM exceptions. [#46622](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46622) ([Dmitry Novik](https://github.com/novikd)).
* Updated to not clear on_expression from table_join as its used by future analyze runs resolves [#45185](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/45185). [#46487](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46487) ([SmitaRKulkarni](https://github.com/SmitaRKulkarni)).
* The `SYSTEM RESTART DISK` query becomes a no-op. [#44647](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44647) ([alesapin](https://github.com/alesapin)).
* The `PREALLOCATE` option for `HASHED`/`SPARSE_HASHED` dictionaries becomes a no-op. [#45388](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45388) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)). It does not give significant advantages anymore.
* Disallow `Gorilla` codec on columns of non-Float32 or non-Float64 type. [#45252](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45252) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)). It was pointless and led to inconsistencies.
* Parallel quorum inserts might work incorrectly with `*MergeTree` tables created with the deprecated syntax. Therefore, parallel quorum inserts support is completely disabled for such tables. It does not affect tables created with a new syntax. [#45430](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45430) ([Alexander Tokmakov](https://github.com/tavplubix)).
* Use the `GetObjectAttributes` request instead of the `HeadObject` request to get the size of an object in AWS S3. This change fixes handling endpoints without explicit regions after updating the AWS SDK, for example. [#45288](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45288) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar)). AWS S3 and Minio are tested, but keep in mind that various S3-compatible services (GCS, R2, B2) may have subtle incompatibilities. This change also may require you to adjust the ACL to allow the `GetObjectAttributes` request.
* Forbid paths in timezone names. For example, a timezone name like `/usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Aden` is not allowed; the IANA timezone database name like `Asia/Aden` should be used. [#44225](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44225) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Queries combining equijoin and constant expressions (e.g., `JOIN ON t1.x = t2.x AND 1 = 1`) are forbidden due to incorrect results. [#44016](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44016) ([Vladimir C](https://github.com/vdimir)).
* Dictionary source for extracting keys by traversing regular expressions tree. It can be used for User-Agent parsing. [#40878](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40878) ([Vage Ogannisian](https://github.com/nooblose)). [#43858](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43858) ([Han Fei](https://github.com/hanfei1991)).
* Added parametrized view functionality, now it's possible to specify query parameters for the View table engine. resolves [#40907](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/40907). [#41687](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41687) ([SmitaRKulkarni](https://github.com/SmitaRKulkarni)).
* Array join support for the `Map` type, like the function "explode" in Spark. [#43239](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43239) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* Support SQL standard binary and hex string literals. [#43785](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43785) ([Mo Xuan](https://github.com/mo-avatar)).
* Implemented a fractional second formatter (`%f`) for `formatDateTime`. [#44060](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44060) ([ltrk2](https://github.com/ltrk2)). [#44497](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44497) ([Alexander Gololobov](https://github.com/davenger)).
* Added `age` function to calculate the difference between two dates or dates with time values expressed as the number of full units. Closes [#41115](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/41115). [#44421](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44421) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Allow configuring the S3 storage class with the `s3_storage_class` configuration option. Such as `<s3_storage_class>STANDARD/INTELLIGENT_TIERING</s3_storage_class>` Closes [#44443](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/44443). [#44707](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44707) ([chen](https://github.com/xiedeyantu)).
* Insert default values in case of missing elements in JSON object while parsing named tuple. Add setting `input_format_json_defaults_for_missing_elements_in_named_tuple` that controls this behaviour. Closes [#45142](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/45142)#issuecomment-1380153217. [#45231](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45231) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Record server startup time in ProfileEvents (`ServerStartupMilliseconds`). Resolves [#43188](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/43188). [#45250](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45250) ([SmitaRKulkarni](https://github.com/SmitaRKulkarni)).
* Refactor and Improve streaming engines Kafka/RabbitMQ/NATS and add support for all formats, also refactor formats a bit: - Fix producing messages in row-based formats with suffixes/prefixes. Now every message is formatted completely with all delimiters and can be parsed back using input format. - Support block-based formats like Native, Parquet, ORC, etc. Every block is formatted as a separate message. The number of rows in one message depends on the block size, so you can control it via the setting `max_block_size`. - Add new engine settings `kafka_max_rows_per_message/rabbitmq_max_rows_per_message/nats_max_rows_per_message`. They control the number of rows formatted in one message in row-based formats. Default value: 1. - Fix high memory consumption in the NATS table engine. - Support arbitrary binary data in NATS producer (previously it worked only with strings contained \0 at the end) - Add missing Kafka/RabbitMQ/NATS engine settings in the documentation. - Refactor producing and consuming in Kafka/RabbitMQ/NATS, separate it from WriteBuffers/ReadBuffers semantic. - Refactor output formats: remove callbacks on each row used in Kafka/RabbitMQ/NATS (now we don't use callbacks there), allow to use IRowOutputFormat directly, clarify row end and row between delimiters, make it possible to reset output format to start formatting again - Add proper implementation in formatRow function (bonus after formats refactoring). [#42777](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42777) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Support reading/writing `Nested` tables as `List` of `Struct` in `CapnProto` format. Read/write `Decimal32/64` as `Int32/64`. Closes [#43319](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/43319). [#43379](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43379) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Added a `message_format_string` column to `system.text_log`. The column contains a pattern that was used to format the message. [#44543](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44543) ([Alexander Tokmakov](https://github.com/tavplubix)). This allows various analytics over the ClickHouse logs.
* Try to autodetect headers with column names (and maybe types) for CSV/TSV/CustomSeparated input formats.
Add settings input_format_tsv/csv/custom_detect_header that enable this behaviour (enabled by default). Closes [#44640](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/44640). [#44953](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44953) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Add an experimental inverted index as a new secondary index type for efficient text search. [#38667](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/38667) ([larryluogit](https://github.com/larryluogit)).
* Add experimental query result cache. [#43797](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43797) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Added extendable and configurable scheduling subsystem for IO requests (not yet integrated with IO code itself). [#41840](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41840) ([Sergei Trifonov](https://github.com/serxa)). This feature does nothing at all, enjoy.
* Added `SYSTEM DROP DATABASE REPLICA` that removes metadata of a dead replica of a `Replicated` database. Resolves [#41794](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/41794). [#42807](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42807) ([Alexander Tokmakov](https://github.com/tavplubix)).
* Do not load inactive parts at startup of `MergeTree` tables. [#42181](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42181) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Improved latency of reading from storage `S3` and table function `s3` with large numbers of small files. Now settings `remote_filesystem_read_method` and `remote_filesystem_read_prefetch` take effect while reading from storage `S3`. [#43726](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43726) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Optimization for reading struct fields in Parquet/ORC files. Only the required fields are loaded. [#44484](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44484) ([lgbo](https://github.com/lgbo-ustc)).
* Two-level aggregation algorithm was mistakenly disabled for queries over the HTTP interface. It was enabled back, and it leads to a major performance improvement. [#45450](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45450) ([Nikolai Kochetov](https://github.com/KochetovNicolai)).
* Added mmap support for StorageFile, which should improve the performance of clickhouse-local. [#43927](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43927) ([pufit](https://github.com/pufit)).
* Added sharding support in HashedDictionary to allow parallel load (almost linear scaling based on number of shards). [#40003](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40003) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Always replace OR chain `expr = x1 OR ... OR expr = xN` to `expr IN (x1, ..., xN)` in the case where `expr` is a `LowCardinality` column. Setting `optimize_min_equality_disjunction_chain_length` is ignored in this case. [#42889](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42889) ([Guo Wangyang](https://github.com/guowangy)).
* Slightly improve performance by optimizing the code around ThreadStatus. [#43586](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43586) ([Zhiguo Zhou](https://github.com/ZhiguoZh)).
* Optimize the column-wise ternary logic evaluation by achieving auto-vectorization. In the performance test of this [microbenchmark](https://github.com/ZhiguoZh/ClickHouse/blob/20221123-ternary-logic-opt-example/src/Functions/examples/associative_applier_perf.cpp), we've observed a peak **performance gain** of **21x** on the ICX device (Intel Xeon Platinum 8380 CPU). [#43669](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43669) ([Zhiguo Zhou](https://github.com/ZhiguoZh)).
* Avoid acquiring read locks in the `system.tables` table if possible. [#43840](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43840) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Optimize ThreadPool. The performance experiments of SSB (Star Schema Benchmark) on the ICX device (Intel Xeon Platinum 8380 CPU, 80 cores, 160 threads) shows that this change could effectively decrease the lock contention for ThreadPoolImpl::mutex by **75%**, increasing the CPU utilization and improving the overall performance by **2.4%**. [#44308](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44308) ([Zhiguo Zhou](https://github.com/ZhiguoZh)).
* Now the optimisation for predicting the hash table size is applied only if the cached hash table size is sufficiently large (thresholds were determined empirically and hardcoded). [#44455](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44455) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Small performance improvement for asynchronous reading from remote filesystems. [#44868](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44868) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Add fast path for: - `col like '%%'`; - `col like '%'`; - `col not like '%'`; - `col not like '%'`; - `match(col, '.*')`. [#45244](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45244) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* Provide monotonicity info for `toUnixTimestamp64*` to enable more algebraic optimizations for index analysis. [#44116](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44116) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Allow the configuration of temporary data for query processing (spilling to disk) to cooperate with the filesystem cache (taking up the space from the cache disk) [#43972](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43972) ([Vladimir C](https://github.com/vdimir)). This mainly improves [ClickHouse Cloud](https://clickhouse.cloud/), but can be used for self-managed setups as well, if you know what to do.
* Make `system.replicas` table do parallel fetches of replicas statuses. Closes [#43918](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/43918). [#43998](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43998) ([Nikolay Degterinsky](https://github.com/evillique)).
* Optimize memory consumption during backup to S3: files to S3 now will be copied directly without using `WriteBufferFromS3` (which could use a lot of memory). [#45188](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45188) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar)).
* Add a cache for async block ids. This will reduce the number of requests of ZooKeeper when we enable async inserts deduplication. [#45106](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45106) ([Han Fei](https://github.com/hanfei1991)).
* Use structure from insertion table in generateRandom without arguments. [#45239](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45239) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Allow to implicitly convert floats stored in string fields of JSON to integers in `JSONExtract` functions. E.g. `JSONExtract('{"a": "1000.111"}', 'a', 'UInt64')` -> `1000`, previously it returned 0. [#45432](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45432) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Added fields `supports_parallel_parsing` and `supports_parallel_formatting` to table `system.formats` for better introspection. [#45499](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45499) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Improve automatic usage of structure from insertion table in table functions file/hdfs/s3 when virtual columns are present in a select query, it fixes the possible error `Block structure mismatch` or `number of columns mismatch`. [#43695](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43695) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Add support for signed arguments in the function `range`. Fixes [#43333](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/43333). [#43733](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43733) ([sanyu](https://github.com/wineternity)).
* Remove redundant sorting, for example, sorting related ORDER BY clauses in subqueries. Implemented on top of query plan. It does similar optimization as `optimize_duplicate_order_by_and_distinct` regarding `ORDER BY` clauses, but more generic, since it's applied to any redundant sorting steps (not only caused by ORDER BY clause) and applied to subqueries of any depth. Related to [#42648](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/42648). [#43905](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43905) ([Igor Nikonov](https://github.com/devcrafter)).
* Add the ability to disable deduplication of files for BACKUP (for backups without deduplication ATTACH can be used instead of full RESTORE). For example `BACKUP foo TO S3(...) SETTINGS deduplicate_files=0` (default `deduplicate_files=1`). [#43947](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43947) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Refactor and improve schema inference for text formats. Add new setting `schema_inference_make_columns_nullable` that controls making result types `Nullable` (enabled by default);. [#44019](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44019) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Better support for `PROXYv1` protocol. [#44135](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44135) ([Yakov Olkhovskiy](https://github.com/yakov-olkhovskiy)).
* Add information about the latest part check by cleanup threads into `system.parts` table. [#44244](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44244) ([Dmitry Novik](https://github.com/novikd)).
* Disable table functions in readonly mode for inserts. [#44290](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44290) ([SmitaRKulkarni](https://github.com/SmitaRKulkarni)).
* Add a setting `simultaneous_parts_removal_limit` to allow limiting the number of parts being processed by one iteration of CleanupThread. [#44461](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44461) ([Dmitry Novik](https://github.com/novikd)).
* Do not initialize ReadBufferFromS3 when only virtual columns are needed in a query. This may be helpful to [#44246](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/44246). [#44493](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44493) ([chen](https://github.com/xiedeyantu)).
* Add a user-level setting `database_replicated_allow_replicated_engine_arguments` which allows banning the creation of `ReplicatedMergeTree` tables with arguments in `DatabaseReplicated`. [#44566](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44566) ([alesapin](https://github.com/alesapin)).
* Prevent users from mistakenly specifying zero (invalid) value for `index_granularity`. This closes [#44536](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/44536). [#44578](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44578) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Added possibility to set path to service keytab file in `keytab` parameter in `kerberos` section of config.xml. [#44594](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44594) ([Roman Vasin](https://github.com/rvasin)).
* Use already written part of the query for fuzzy search (pass to the `skim` library, which is written in Rust and linked statically to ClickHouse). [#44600](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44600) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Enable `input_format_json_read_objects_as_strings` by default to be able to read nested JSON objects while JSON Object type is experimental. [#44657](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44657) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Improvement for deduplication of async inserts: when users do duplicate async inserts, we should deduplicate inside the memory before we query Keeper. [#44682](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44682) ([Han Fei](https://github.com/hanfei1991)).
* Input/ouptut `Avro` format will parse bool type as ClickHouse bool type. [#44684](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44684) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Support Bool type in Arrow/Parquet/ORC. Closes [#43970](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/43970). [#44698](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44698) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Don't greedily parse beyond the quotes when reading UUIDs - it may lead to mistakenly successful parsing of incorrect data. [#44686](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44686) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Infer UInt64 in case of Int64 overflow and fix some transforms in schema inference. [#44696](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44696) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Previously dependency resolving inside `Replicated` database was done in a hacky way, and now it's done right using an explicit graph. [#44697](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44697) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov)).
* Fix `output_format_pretty_row_numbers` does not preserve the counter across the blocks. Closes [#44815](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/44815). [#44832](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44832) ([flynn](https://github.com/ucasfl)).
* Don't report errors in `system.errors` due to parts being merged concurrently with the background cleanup process. [#44874](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44874) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Added settings to disallow concurrent backups and restores resolves [#43891](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/43891) Implementation: * Added server-level settings to disallow concurrent backups and restores, which are read and set when BackupWorker is created in Context. * Settings are set to true by default. * Before starting backup or restores, added a check to see if any other backups/restores are running. For internal requests, it checks if it is from the self node using backup_uuid. [#45072](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45072) ([SmitaRKulkarni](https://github.com/SmitaRKulkarni)).
* Statically link with the `skim` library (it is written in Rust) for fuzzy search in clickhouse client/local history. [#44239](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44239) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* We removed support for shared linking because of Rust. Actually, Rust is only an excuse for this removal, and we wanted to remove it nevertheless. [#44828](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44828) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Remove the dependency on the `adduser` tool from the packages, because we don't use it. This fixes [#44934](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/44934). [#45011](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45011) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* The `SQLite` library is updated to the latest. It is used for the SQLite database and table integration engines. Also, fixed a false-positive TSan report.

* Delay for INSERT can be calculated incorrectly, which can lead to always using `max_delay_to_insert` setting as delay instead of a correct value. Using simple formula `max_delay_to_insert * (parts_over_threshold/max_allowed_parts_over_threshold)` i.e. delay grows proportionally to parts over threshold. Closes [#44902](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/44902). [#44954](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44954) ([Igor Nikonov](https://github.com/devcrafter)).
