What is the release policy/schedule of Maria?
Maria follows the same release criteria as for MariaDB. Some clarifications, unique for the Maria storage engine: • Maria index and data file formats should be backward and forward compatible to make it easy to upgrade/downgrade. • We will try to keep the log file format compatible, but for this we don’t want make any guarantees yet. In other words, in some cases when upgrading, you must remove the old maria_log.######## files before restarting mysqld.
