This option offloads the actual authentication to the backend server and it can be used to implement a secure version of a wildcard user. +### Consistent Critical Reads + +MaxScale 2.1 comes with a new filter module, _ccrfilter_, which allows critical +reads to be routed to master after inserts. This will make reads after inserts +consistent while still allowing read scaling. + +For more information, refer to the [CCRFilter](../Filters/CCRFilter.md) +documentation. + +### Database Cache + +A new filter module, _cache_, allows MaxScale to cache the results of SELECT +statements. This improves the performance of read-heavy workloads by reducing +the work the backend databases have to perform. + +For more information, refer to the [Cache](../Filters/Cache.md) documentation. + +### Result set masking + +The new _masking_ filter can mask sensitive information from result sets. This +is commonly done to hide sensitive information while still allowing the database +to efficiently process the actual data. + +For more information, refer to the [Masking](../Filters/Masking.md) +documentation. + +### Result set limiting + +The newly added _maxrows_ filter can restrict the maximum size of a returned +result set. This can be used to reduce the negative effects of unexpectedly +large result sets. It can also be used to improve security by preventing access +to large sets of data with a single query. + +For more information, refer to the [Maxrows](../Filters/Maxrows.md) +documentation. + ## Bug fixes [Here is a list of bugs fixed since the release of MaxScale 2.0.X.](https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MXS-739?jql=project%20%3D%20MXS%20AND%20issuetype%20%3D%20Bug%20AND%20resolution%20in%20(Fixed%2C%20Done)%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%202.0.0)
