rqlite is a lightweight, open-source, distributed relational database written in Go, utilizing SQLite as its storage engine.

rqlite has been updated to versions 8.23.1 through 8.23.3, bringing a series of targeted improvements to refine its internal operations and enhance overall stability. These updates focus on advancing the database’s core functionality through code refactoring and important bug fixes.

Version 8.23.1

8.23.1 moves rqlite to Go 1.22. It also includes moving to generic types for the Queued Writes implementation as well as refactoring some command-line flag handling. Both changes make the code easier to extend in the future.

Version 8.23.2

Addressing inter-node communication, this release resolves an issue where an unreachable node could impact the responsiveness of the system. This version also improves mutex operations during networking operations, which should result in more reliable operation.

Version 8.23.3

Further refining inter-node interactions, 8.23.3 defaults inter-node communication retries to zero, reducing unnecessary network traffic and enhancing system responsiveness. Users can now configure retry behaviors on a request-by-request basis, offering better control over network operations. This version also includes other minor improvements in networking-related code.
