# Aurora MySQL database engine updates: 2017-01-12 (version 1.10.1) (Deprecated)
<a name="AuroraMySQL.Updates.20170112"></a>

**Version:** 1.10.1

Version 1.10.1 of Aurora MySQL is an opt-in version and is not used to patch your database instances. It is available for creating new Aurora instances and for upgrading existing instances. You can apply the patch by choosing a cluster in the [Amazon RDS console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/), choosing **Cluster Actions**, and then choosing **Upgrade Now**. Patching requires a database restart with downtime typically lasting 5-30 seconds, after which you can resume using your DB clusters. This patch is using a cluster patching model where all nodes in an Aurora cluster are patched at the same time.

## New features
