Re: [libreoffice-users] Base Fw: [MariaDB Announce] MariaDB 5.3.6 now available

I am somewhat confused by these messages about Maria DB. Is Libre office 
able to access Maria Db files? How does that work? I don't have Maria DB on 
my computer but it looks like a good thing.

Hi :)
Base users that are currently using MySql/MariaDb might be interested in the 
events that are after the announcement of the new release of MariaDb.

It would be great if someone on the Postgresql mailing lists could let us 
know of significant announcements from them.  For MariaDb i try to do one 
for beta-testing and 1 for full release.

MariaDb is a drop-in replacement for, but develops faster than, MySql.  Also 
it's run by the community in much the same way as LibreOffice, Firefox and 
so on.

Regards from
Tom :)

The MariaDB project is pleased to announce the immediate availability of 
MariaDB 5.3.6. This is a stable (GA) release. It includes MySQL 5.1.62, some 
performance improvements, and several bug fixes.

Most importantly, MariaDB 5.3.6 includes a fix for a bug which, under 
certain rare circumstances, allowed a user to connect with an invalid 
password. This is a serious security issue. We recommend upgrading from 
older versions as soon as possible.

The MariaDB-specific book, MariaDB Crash Course, by Ben Forta, is an 
excellent way to learn more about MariaDB. This book - for beginner to 
intermediate level users - will get you up and running with MariaDB, even if 
you've never used a database before. More information is available at:

- - User Feedback plugin - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

MariaDB includes a User Feedback plugin. This plugin is disabled by default. 
If enabled, it submits basic, completely anonymous MariaDB usage 
information. This information is used by the developers to track trends in 
MariaDB usage to better guide development efforts.

If you would like to help make MariaDB better, please add
"plugin-load=feedback.so" to your my.cnf file! On Windows, add
"feedback=ON" to your my.ini file, or click the checkbox during the
installation of the MSI package.

See http://kb.askmonty.org/en/user-feedback-plugin for more information.
