New GPG Release Key for RPMs

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 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.

MariaDB 10.11.1 RC and 10.10.2 GA now available

The MariaDB Foundation is pleased to announce the availability of MariaDB 10.11.1, the first release candidate in the MariaDB 10.11 series, and MariaDB 10.10.2 the first generally available release in the short-term MariaDB 10.10 series.

See the release notes and changelogs for details.
