Thanks, and enjoy MariaDB! …
Finally, a face to face FOSDEM! The encounters invigorated day-to-day work for all of MariaDB Foundation, even those of us not present in Brussels.
Withdrawal symptoms
With three years since last time, it felt like it was about time to see the familiar FOSDEM faces live again. Finally, last weekend gave us a chance to do what one had come to take for granted – meet in packed devrooms, hear the latest, chat in corridors, exchange thoughts and make plans at Brussels cafés and restaurants.
Back with MySQL
The MariaDB, MySQL and Friends room was back together in one room, having been separated virtually.

The MariaDB Foundation is pleased to announce the availability of MariaDB 10.10.3, MariaDB 10.9.5, MariaDB 10.8.7 and MariaDB 10.7.8, the latest Generally Available releases in their respective short-term series (maintained for one year from their first GA release dates), as well as MariaDB 10.6.12, MariaDB 10.5.19, MariaDB 10.4.28 and MariaDB 10.3.38, the latest stable releases in their respective long-term series (maintained for five years).
See the release notes and changelogs for details.

As mentioned in the previous batch of release notes (e.g. 10.6.11), our Yum/DNF/Zypper repositories for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Centos, Fedora, openSUSE and SUSE will, from our next set of releases, be migrated to being signed with a new GPG key with SHA2 digest algorithms instead of SHA1.
The key we are migrating to is the same one we already use for our Debian and Ubuntu repositories.
- The short Key ID is: 0xC74CD1D8
- The long Key ID is: 0xF1656F24C74CD1D8
- The full fingerprint of the key is: 177F 4010 FE56 CA33 3630 0305 F165 6F24 C74C D1D8
The key can be imported now in preparation for this change using the following command:
sudo rpm –import https://rpm.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB
Those with a gpgkey=https://mirror/yum/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB in their repo file will still work, you’ll just need to accept the new key on DNF update.

MariaDB is at FOSDEM 2023, and it’s great to be back for the in-person event in Brussels for the first time since 2020. We’ll be participating in the MariaDB, MySQL and friends devroom. If you’re here in person, come see us live in room K.3.201 on Sunday morning, or come hang out at anytime our stand at Building K Level 1 Group B Stand 8.
And if you’re not enjoying the Belgian culinary delights and the rain in person, everything will be livestreamed, as well as available on video at a later stage. …
Gcov is a coverage testing tool, used to create better programs. It can show which parts of the codebase are untested. Gcov is located in the same package as gcc. MariaDB takes care of code quality and checks test coverage with Gcov. We are looking forward to have Gcov used soon as a part of our buildbot (MDBF-158).
How to use Gcov
Let’s write a demo example to demonstrate how it works.
— Source code:
$ cat -n test.c
int f1()
{
return 0; …
I’ve mentioned in past blog posts that not every contribution is a code contribution. There are many possible contributions that are valuable, including testing, bug reports, helping the community, etc.
Non-code contributions are quite invisible
Unfortunately, non-code contributions are sometimes invisible to the wider community, so today I wanted to shine a light on some such contributions. In this case, contributions made by one of our sponsors, Intel.
Intel is open source friendly
Intel have been an open source friendly company for a long time. But have recently pushed harder than ever towards open source, even giving their first ever new Innovation Award to Linus Torvalds.

With MariaDB 10.0.0 having been released over ten years ago (12 Nov 2012), you may ask yourself when there will be MariaDB 11.0.0. If so, I can answer you: Today.
You can now download MariaDB Server 11.0 Alpha preview from our dedicated download page and check out the release notes.
Time has passed …
Of course, we have a better reason for going with a new first number in a release other than ten years having passed. Significant new features. Significant incompatibilities with earlier versions.
