It’s a big release for the new year, with many fixes and features! Here are some key highlights: - Control the data lifecycle using the new `TTL` feature, automatically dropping old data after a configurable period. - Simplify your queries with the new `DECLARE @var := 'value'` syntax - no longer must you repeat common constants in your queries. Define once, use anywhere! - Enjoy new window functions, including the long awaited `LAG` and `LEAD`! - New table metrics monitoring charts, which give you quick and easy access to information about your table performance and health. - Access table DDLs programmatically, using the new `SHOW CREATE TABLE` command. - Define timestamp filters using correlated subqueries: `WHERE ts > (select min(ts) FROM tbl)` - Parallel execution for queries that source data from Parquet files using the `read_parquet()` function. For full information, see the [release blog](https://questdb.com/blog/questdb-8-2-2/) and [QuestDB GitHub](https://github.com/questdb/questdb/releases).
