The ScyllaDB team announces ScyllaDB Open Source 6.1.3, a bugfix patch release of the ScyllaDB [6.1](https://forum.scylladb.com/t/relase-scylladb-6-1/2486) stable branch. ScyllaDB Open Source 6.1.3, like all past and future 6.x.y releases, is backward compatible and supports [rolling upgrades](https://docs.scylladb.com/upgrade/upgrade-opensource/upgrade-guide-from-5.x.y-to-5.x.z/).

Note that the latest open-source stable branch is [6.2](https://forum.scylladb.com/t/relase-scylladb-6-2-0/3115/1), and you are encouraged to upgrade to it.

Issue fixed in this release:

CQL related

- CQL: cql\_duplicate\_bind\_variable\_names\_refer\_to\_same\_variable - a bind variable that appears twice in a CQL query refers to a single variable (if false, no name matching is performed). Default: True. [#15559](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/15559)
- CQL: a rare case when data in memtable is not considered when deciding whether expired tombstone can be discarded during read. [#20916](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/20916)

Install related

- Install: install without setup of selinux fails on coredump configuration check [#19325](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/19325)
- Install: [rocky9] systemd-coredump fails because of /var/lib/scylla does not have valid SELinux context [scylladb#20573](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/20573)
- Install: seastar-addr2line appears broken in Scylla images [#21077](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/21077). Seastar-addr2line is a utility that decodes raw backtraces from ScyllaDB log messages into human-readable stack traces with function names, file locations, and line numbers.

Stability related

- Stability: storage\_proxy: make sure there is no end iterator in \_live\_iterators array [#20874](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/20874)
- Stability: Bootstrap fails with `init - Startup failed: std::runtime_error (Failed to obtain IP addresses of nodes that should be seen as alive within 30s)` [#20600](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/20600)
- Stability: coredump during bootstrap when replacing a dead node [#20629](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/20629)
- Stability: A race condition between tablet repair and tablet split (the latter happens when a table grows). [#19378](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/19378) [#19416](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/19416).
- Stability: major compaction flushes all tables in successive runs despite compaction\_flush\_all\_tables\_before\_major\_seconds having a non zero value [#20301](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/20301)
- Stability (LWT): paxos\_state::guard leaks semaphores resulting in memory leak that leads to large allocations and reactor stalls for LWT users [#20602](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/20602) The issue was introduced in 6.0
- Stability: raft topology; concurrent removenode requests for the same node can hang [#20271](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/20271)
- Stability: Scylla hangs when it doesn’t have permissions to TLS files [#10305](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/10305)
- Stability: time\_window\_compaction\_strategy::get\_reshaping\_job must limit partial\_sort range to multi\_window size. The result might be a crash and infinite restart loop [#20608](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/20608)
- Stability: Too many pending replicas for a table. The fix improve validation of the new RF in an ALTER command [#20039](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/20039)
- Stability: Better error handling in Add TLS certificate authenticator, should capture boost::regex\_error in auth::certificate\_authenticator’s ctor [#20941](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/20941)
- Stability: a potential use after free, make\_streaming\_consumer passes reference to token\_metadata to check\_needs\_view\_update\_path without holding ptr [#20979](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/20979)

Tablets related

- Tablets: decommission a node in multi-dc failed to find a tablet replica for a secondary-index table [#20240](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/20240)
- Tablets: Failed to complete splitting of table due to raft::request\_aborted (Request is aborted by a caller)] while scylla stopped during Rollback rolling-upgrade [#20890](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/20890)
- Tablets: When a tablet is split into two, tombstone garbage collection becomes more complicated, since sstables for the tablet exist in both pre-split and post-split state, causing possible data resurrection during tablet split preparation [#20044](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/20044)
- Tablets: Prevent tablet metadata with too many pending replicas from being saved to disk [#20043](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/20043)
- Tablets: A race between tablet split and repair could cause an sstable not to be split among two new tablets, which in turn could prevent the sstable from being loaded on restart. [#20626](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/20626)
- scylla\_commitlog\_memory\_buffer\_bytes seems to be growing since 6.0. The root cause was a metric, not the actual memory usage [#20862](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/20862)
- Tablet: Cleanup of a deallocated tablet throws an exception. Since failed cleanup is retried, ScyllaDB ends up in an infinite loop. [#19752](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/19752)
- Tablet: remove\_node\_during\_local\_index\_build failed. [#18862](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/18862)
