How has view with aggregation changed in recent MySQL versions?

In recent MySQL versions, there have been significant improvements regarding views with aggregation, particularly with the introduction of the WITH ROLLUP and GROUP BY enhancements that support better performance and flexibility. These features allow developers to create more complex aggregated views that can simplify reporting and analytics tasks.
