## Deprecated features

- Starting from v8.5.6, statistics Version 1 (`tidb_analyze_version = 1`) is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. It is recommended that you use statistics Version 2 (`tidb_analyze_version = 2`) and [migrate existing objects that use statistics Version 1 to Version 2](https://docs.pingcap.com/tidb/v8.5/statistics#switch-between-statistics-versions) for more accurate statistics.
