MariaDB 11.8.5 critical bugfix release now available

The MariaDB Foundation announces the availability of MariaDB 11.8.5.

Users of MariaDB 11.8.4 are strongly recommended to upgrade to the new release.

MariaDB 11.8.4 is affected by an issue resulting in only partial deletion of data on MyISAM or Aria tables under specific conditions. InnoDB tables are not affected by this issue. Specifically, not all matching rows may be deleted when a DELETE statement includes a WHERE clause with a non-unique indexed column compared for equality with a literal (col=const), and the execution plan shows a “range” operation on that index.

See the release notes and changelogs for details. …

MariaDB passes MySQL in WordPress usage

In May, Otto Kekäläinen emailed the developers mailing list with some interesting news. MariaDB had passed MySQL in WordPress usage. And this was not just wishful thinking, but according to the official WordPress statistics.

This may seem surprising if you follow other metrics, or look at activity in various channels, where MySQL can seem to be more active. But these are the official WordPress statistics, which sample far more users than most of us ever can, so it’s worth investigating.

The biggest factor in why MySQL still seems more prevalent is that not everyone knows they are using MariaDB.
