+- URLs in the following SQL statements are now sanitized of any secrets before being written to [unredacted logs]({% link v24.2/configure-logs.md %}#redact-logs). [#127360][#127360]

+<h3 id="v24-2-0-beta-2-sql-language-changes">SQL language changes</h3>
+
+- The new [cluster setting]({% link v24.2/cluster-settings.md %}) [`sql.auth.grant_option_for_owner.enabled`]({% link v24.2/cluster-settings.md %}#setting-sql-auth-grant-option-for-owner-enabled) controls whether the owner of an object has permission to grant permission on the object to other [users]({% link v24.2/security-reference/authorization.md %}#roles). When set to `true` (the default), the [`GRANT OPTION`]({% link v24.2/show-grants.md %}#privilege-grants) is is implicitly granted to the object owner, who can grant permissions on the object to other users, preserving the existing behavior of CockroachDB. When set to `false`, the `GRANT OPTION` is not implicitly given to the owner of an object. The owner's permissions do not change, but they can no longer grant permissions to others unless the `GRANT OPTION` is granted to them explicitly.  [#126960][#126960]
+- Fixed a bug in which the `DISCARD` statement was disallowed when the [session setting]({% link v24.2/session-variables.md %}#default-transaction-read-only) `default_transaction_read_only = on`. [cockroachdb/cockroach#127364][#127364]
+
+<h3 id="v24-2-0-beta-2-bug-fixes">Bug fixes</h3>
+
+- Fixed a bug that could cause [`CREATE INVERTED INDEX`]({% link v24.2/create-index.md %}#create-gin-indexes) and [`ALTER TABLE ... SET LOCALITY REGIONAL BY ROW`]({% link v24.2/alter-table.md %}#set-the-table-locality-to-regional-by-row) statements to fail if the corresponding table contained columns with non-standard characters in their names, such as tabs or newlines. This bug was introduced along with [inverted indexes]({% link v24.2/inverted-indexes.md %}) in v2.0. [#126996][#126996]
+- Fixed a bug introduced in v23.2 that could cause a [gateway node]({% link v24.2/architecture/life-of-a-distributed-transaction.md %}#gateway) to crash while executing an [`INSERT`]({% link v24.2/insert.md %}) statement in a [`REGIONAL BY ROW`]({% link v24.2/alter-table.md %}#set-the-table-locality-to-regional-by-row) table. [#127278][#127278]
+- Fixed a bug where a [schema change]({% link v24.2/online-schema-changes.md %}) could hang if the [lease]({% link v24.2/architecture/replication-layer.md %}#leases) [rangefeed]({% link v24.2/create-and-configure-changefeeds.md %}#enable-rangefeeds) stopped receiving updates. [#127488][#127488]
