Hi!
I have not been using this email list lately, but it's time to change
that (but still keeping things at a very low volume).
I will now start post the most important things that is happening in
MariaDB community here so that people can easily follow what is going
on.
Upcoming conferences we are attending:
Next Wednesday, February 16'th, I will give a talk at Garum day in
Bilbao, Spain about MariaDB and open source entrepreneurship. I will
arrive to Bilbao on mid day of February 15'th. If you want to meet with
me during this time, feel free to drop me a line!

What's happening in development:
- We are just now merging MySQL 5.1.55 with MariaDB 5.1 and plan to
release MariaDB 5.1.55 and MariaDB 5.2.5 during the next few days.
- We just merged in the newest FederatedX code, that has initial
support for partition tables. This is merged into 5.1 as it also
includes a critical bug fix that is needed into 5.1.
(lp:585688)
- We will soon release a new Windows installer for MariaDB; Most of
the code is written, we just have do so dome final testing and code
reviews on it before releasing it.
- In MariaDB 5.3 Sergei is adding support for sub seconds (6
decimals). As soon as this work is ready we will do a new alpha
release of 5.3.
- 5.3 is close to a beta; We have a couple of optimization patches
that needs to get in, support for dynamic columns, handler sockets and
the new faster HANDLER support before we can call it beta.
See http://kb.askmonty.org/v/what-is-mariadb-53
- Merge of MariaDB 5.3 + MySQL 5.5 -> MariaDB 5.5 is on the way.
We should have a tree available within a couple of weeks.
- It's still not clear which will be our next stable release ; MariaDB
5.3 or MariaDB 5.5. This will be decided after Sergei is done with
the 5.5 merge and can give us a report of what he thinks about the
stability of the 5.5 code.
If you want to discuss any of the above, please do it on
maria-discuss(a)list.launchpad.org.

Monty
The MariaDB community is happy to announce two new releases hot off
the compiler!
MariaDB is a branch of the MySQL database which includes all major
open source storage engines, myriad bug fixes, and many community
patches.
The MariaDB 5.1 release continues with MariaDB 5.1.53, while the 5.2
series moves to 5.2.4. As always, detailed release notes are available
and are highly recommended, especially for those considering an
upgrade.

These releases both address a couple of issues in both series that may
affect a large number of users. First, a regression in MySQL relating
to starting as a service on Windows has been patched. You will no
longer need the --console option.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/maria/+bug/678047http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=56821
Second, a rather nasty little bug prevented compiling PHP against
MariaDB. This has been fixed in these new releases, as well.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/maria/+bug/674812
Binary builds for many popular platforms, Linux packages, and source
code can be found mirrored worldwide.
