Release date: 18 Aug 2011

MariaDB 5.2.8 is a Stable release. In general this means there are no known serious bugs and we believe the code is ready for general usage. A "stable" MariaDB release is equivalent to a MySQL "GA" release.

For a high-level description of MariaDB 5.2.8 see theWhat is MariaDB 5.2 page.

For a list of every change made in MariaDB 5.2.8, including the various bugs that were fixed and links to detailed information on each push, see theMariaDB 5.2.8 Changelog. See previousrelease notes and changelogs for changes made in previous versions of MariaDB.

In most respects MariaDB will work exactly as MySQL: all commands, interfaces, libraries and APIs that exist in MySQL also exist in MariaDB.
