All, I've completed most of the prep work for the MariaDB 5.5.36 (stable) and MariaDB Galera Cluster 10.0.7 (alpha) releases. Current plan is to activate and announce these releases together on Monday, 24 Feb before noon US Eastern Time (barring any last-minute issues). Draft changelogs and release notes are at the following locations: MariaDB 5.5.36 stable - https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-5536-release-notes/ - https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-5536-changelog/ MariaDB Galera Cluster 10.0.7 alpha - https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-galera-cluster-1007-release-notes/ - https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-galera-cluster-1007-changelog/ Please let me know ASAP of any additions, changes, typos, etc.... The 5.5.36 release notes in particular are very generic at the moment, so I'm very interested in additions to that page (please jump in and add!). The files for these releases are gradually making their way to MariaDB mirrors world wide. The primary mirror has them now if you want to get a jump on the competition: http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/mariadb/mariadb-galera-10.0.7 http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/mariadb/mariadb-5.5.36 Obilgatory note #1: The plan is for these files to be the officially released files without any changes, but that may change if something unexpected comes up (and such things have happened in the past). For those that would like to test the MariaDB Galera Cluster 10.0.7-alpha yum and apt repositories prior to the actual release, because that's just how you roll, the following config entries should get you going (you'll need to copy/paste/edit for whatever distro you are actually using/testing/playing-around-with): # - - Ubuntu - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - # MariaDB 10.0.8 Ubuntu test mariadb.list w/MGC 10.0.7-alpha deb http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/mariadb/mariadb-10.0.8/repo/ubuntu saucy main # - - Debian - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - # MariaDB 10.0.8 Debian test mariadb.list w/MGC 10.0.7-alpha deb http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/mariadb/mariadb-10.0.8/repo/debian wheezy main # - - Red Hat - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - # MariaDB 10.0.8 RedHat MariaDB-test.repo w/ MGC 10.0.7-alpha [mariadb] name = MariaDB baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/10.0.8-upd/rhel6-amd64 gpgkey=https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB gpgcheck=1 # - - Fedora - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - # MariaDB 10.0.8 Fedora MariaDB-test.repo w/ MGC 10.0.7-alpha [mariadb] name = MariaDB baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/10.0.8-upd/fedora20-amd64 gpgkey=https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB gpgcheck=1 Obligatory note #2: These test alpha repos, if you use them, should be switched to the official ones (as produced by the repository configuration generator) after the release is officially out. Obligatory disclaimer #1: These test alpha repos are _completely_ untested. They may not work at all. Obligatory disclaimer #2: MariaDB Galera Cluster 10.0.7 is an ALPHA release. You have been warned. You're on your own. Good luck and Godspeed. :) Thanks. -- Daniel Bartholomew MariaDB
