# MaxScale 1.4.1 GA is available for download

We are pleased to announce that MaxScale 1.4.1 GA is now available for download!

If MaxScale is new to you, we recommend reading [this page first](https://staging-mdb.com/products/mariadb-maxscale).

MaxScale 1.4 brings:

1. The [Firewall Filter](https://staging-mdb.com/kb/en/mariadb-enterprise/mariadb-maxscale/maxscale-database-firewall-filter/) has been extended and can now be used for either black-listing or white-listing queries. In addition it is capable of logging both queries that match and queries that do not match.
2. Client-side [SSL](https://staging-mdb.com/kb/en/mariadb-enterprise/mariadb-maxscale/maxscale-configuration-usage-scenarios/#listener-and-ssl) has been available in MaxScale for a while, but it has been somewhat unreliable. We now believe that client side SSL is fully functional and usable.

Additional improvements:

- POSIX Extended Regular Expression Syntax can now be used in conjunction with *qlafilter*, *topfilter* and *namedserverfilter*.

- Improved user grant detection.
- Improved password encryption.

Compared to the earlier [1.4.0 Beta release](https://staging-mdb.com/kb/en/mariadb-enterprise/mariadb-maxscale/mariadb-maxscale-140-beta-release-notes/), a number of bugs have been [fixed](https://staging-mdb.com/kb/en/mariadb-enterprise/mariadb-maxscale/mariadb-maxscale-141-release-notes/#bug-fixes).

The release notes can be found [here](https://staging-mdb.com/kb/en/mariadb-enterprise/mariadb-maxscale/mariadb-maxscale-141-release-notes/) and the binaries can be downloaded from the [portal](https://staging-mdb.com/resources/downloads).

In case you want to build the binaries yourself, the source can be found at GitHub, tagged with [1.4.1](https://github.com/mariadb-corporation/MaxScale/tree/1.4.1).

We hope you will download and use this stable release, and we encourage you to create a bug report in [Jira](https://jira.mariadb.org/projects/MXS/issues) for any bugs you might encounter.

On behalf of the entire MaxScale team.
