[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? -FG

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