MariaDB 11.1.0 preview release now available

We are pleased to announce the availability of the MariaDB 11.1 preview release, MariaDB 11.1.0.

Candidate features for MariaDB 11.1

Preview releases are designed to get features into the hands of users more quickly, and should not be used for production. Features in a preview release may not all make the Generally Available (GA) release – only those that pass testing will be merged into MariaDB Server 11.1.1.

Features under consideration for 11.1 include:

Index usage with YEAR and DATE

With MDEV-8320, some queries using the DATE or the YEAR function will be much faster, as the optimizer is now able to make use of an index in certain cases.

Google Summer of Code 2023

The Google Summer of Code is a fantastic program that pairs new contributors up with mentors and pays them to work on open source projects.

MariaDB has been part of Google Summer of Code for 10 years and we are happy to announce that we are officially part of the program this year, too!

Traditionally, GSoC has only been open to university students, but now it is available to anyone! I’m a big fan of this, because talented people who do not have the opportunity to go to university can get involved. It also benefits those who are working towards a change into a career in software development.

MariaDB 11.0.1 RC (Short Term Support) now available

The MariaDB Foundation is pleased to announce the availability of MariaDB Server 11.0.1, the first RC release of the MariaDB Server 11.0 series, a Short Term Support release (with support lasting 1 year).

MariaDB Server 11 is a new major series. The release brings lots of query optimizer changes which we believe will be beneficial to our users. Nonetheless we advise testing before deploying in production as some query plans may change. You can read more about the changes from the original author.

See the release notes and changelogs for details.

MariaDB 11.0 – new optimizer, new major version series

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.

MariaDB 10.11 is LTS

Important news: MariaDB 10.11, which just was declared RC, is a long-term maintenance version. The industry standard term to refer to that concept is LTS (as in long-term support), and we too use this term for the releases that get a significantly longer lifetime of bug fixes.

We are announcing MariaDB 10.11 as LTS for a number of reasons:

Firstly, the purpose of an LTS is to reassure users – and, in particular, Linux distros – that a certain version will receive regular updates long-term, for the lifetime of their product.
