+
+# TiDB 6.1.1 Release Notes
+
+Release date: September 1, 2022
+
+TiDB version: 6.1.1
+
+## Compatibility changes
+
++ TiDB
+
+    - Make the `SHOW DATABASES LIKE …` statement case-insensitive [#34766](https://github.com/pingcap/tidb/issues/34766) @[e1ijah1](https://github.com/e1ijah1)
+    - Change the default value of [`tidb_enable_outer_join_reorder`](/system-variables.md#tidb_enable_outer_join_reorder-new-in-v610) from `1` to `0`, which disables Join Reorder's support for Outer Join by default.
+
++ Diagnosis
+
+    - Disable the Continuous Profiling feature by default, which avoids the possible TiFlash OOM issue that occurs when this feature is enabled. For details, see [#5687](https://github.com/pingcap/tiflash/issues/5687) @[mornyx](https://github.com/mornyx)
+
+## Other changes
+
+- Add the following contents in the `TiDB-community-toolkit` binary package. For details, see [TiDB Installation Packages](/binary-package.md).
+
+    - `server-{version}-linux-amd64.tar.gz`
+    - `grafana-{version}-linux-amd64.tar.gz`
+    - `alertmanager-{version}-linux-amd64.tar.gz`

+    - `node_exporter-{version}-linux-amd64.tar.gz`
+
+- Introduce multi-level supports for different operating systems or platforms. See [].
