Congratulations!

I’ve truncated the Chinese part since this is an English forum, and formatted contents for better rendering. @Kanshiori You can format the content before post the next time.

Also, I’m curious whether TiDB Operator version number follows semantic version? It seems we implement new feature with a minor version bump. cc @DanielZhangQD

@tison Yes, TiDB Operator follows the semantic version.

The change in v1.2.1 is only a minor improvement, sometimes, we will cherry-pick some minor improvements to the release branch if they are required by some users because they cannot wait for the next minor release.
