+# Percona XtraDB Cluster 8.0.45-36 (2026-02-26)
+
+[Get started with Quickstart Guide for Percona XtraDB Cluster.](../quickstart-overview.md)
+
+Percona XtraDB Cluster is based on Percona Server for MySQL. Percona XtraDB Cluster 8.0.45-36 includes all the features and bug fixes available in Percona Server for MySQL 8.0.45-36. Find a complete list of improvements and bug fixes in the [Percona Server for MySQL 8.0.45-36 (2026-02-26) release notes](https://docs.percona.com/percona-server/8.0/release-notes/8.0.45-36.html).
+
+### MySQL 8.0.45
+
+Improvements and bug fixes provided by Oracle for MySQL 8.0.45 and included in Percona Server for MySQL are documented in the [MySQL 8.0.45 Release Notes](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/8.0/en/news-8-0-45.html).
+
+## Bug fixes
+
+* [PXC-3583](https://perconadev.atlassian.net/browse/PXC-3583): Fixed an issue where the `validate-config` tool incorrectly reported that `ssl-ca`, `ssl-cert`, and `ssl-key` must all be defined to use encrypted traffic.
+
+* [PXC-4765](https://perconadev.atlassian.net/browse/PXC-4765): Fixed an issue where creating a trigger with a definer caused an inconsistency error and disconnected the node from the cluster.
+
+* [PXC-4802](https://perconadev.atlassian.net/browse/PXC-4802): Fixed a misleading "Initiating SST cancellation" log message that was printed during fatal signal handling.
+
+* [PXC-4814](https://perconadev.atlassian.net/browse/PXC-4814): Fixed an issue where `OPTIMIZE TABLE` failed when `wsrep_OSU_method` was set to RSU (Rolling Schema Update), due to case-sensitive writes to the binary log with `error_code=0`.
+
+* [PXC-4823](https://perconadev.atlassian.net/browse/PXC-4823): Fixed an issue where an asynchronous Percona XtraDB Cluster replica stalled when replicating `OPTIMIZE TABLE`.
+
+* [PXC-4845](https://perconadev.atlassian.net/browse/PXC-4845): Fixed an issue where a node remained up and running after an Incremental State Transfer (IST) failure, which could cause other nodes in the cluster to become unresponsive.
