+
+* [Bug#33691659](https://github.com/mysql/mysql-server/commit/551288baa7a): Performing `ON DELETE CASCADE` on a table with a secondary index on a generated column may cause a server exit in `innobase_get_computed_value`.
+
+* [Bug#33327093](https://github.com/mysql/mysql-server/commit/0ac176453bf): An operation attempted to update a virtual column while building an update node for a child table and caused an assertion failure in
+`row_MySQL_pad_col`.
+
+* [Bug#34574604](https://github.com/mysql/mysql-server/commit/632ca5cfe1b): The virual column information for a row containing an externally stored BLOB was not always logged during an `UPDATE` operation and may cause permanent corruptions.
+
+* [Bug#36593235](https://github.com/mysql/mysql-server/commit/9a32e4495c5): A subquery containing an aggregate function `WITH ROLLUP` which was part of a row value comparator was not always processed correctly.
