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

Updates & Bug Fixes

MariaDB 5.5.44 is a maintenance release. It includes several bugfixes and updates, including from MySQL 5.5.44. Notable updates include:

• XtraDB updated to 5.5.42-37.2

• TokuDB updated to version 7.5.7

• Client command line option --ssl-verify-server-cert (and MYSQL_OPT_SSL_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT option of the client API) when used together with --ssl will ensure that the established connection is SSL-encrypted and the MariaDB server has a valid certificate. This fixes CVE-2015-3152.
