Re: [Maria-discuss] MariaDB version string in initial handshake

Hi all,

I’m seeing a version string like this from the server in the initial handshake:

5.5.5-10.1.16-MariaDB

Why does MariaDB negotiate with a different-format version string than MySQL? Is this documented somewhere?

to confuse security scanners facing the "5.5.5" instead at least a *recent* 5.5.x
