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. …
