This talks a lot about 5.5 and mentions that 5.6 is “due out soon”. The current release series is 5.7. How much of this is outdated and how much has stayed the same?

Some things are improving — for example: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/atomic-ddl.html

And https://mysqlserverteam.com/new-defaults-in-mysql-8-0/

Personally, I only use MySQL and derivatives where I have to (basically WordPress.)
