Release date: 6 Apr 2012
MariaDB 5.2.12 is a Stable (GA) release. In general this means that there are no known serious bugs, except for those marked as feature requests, that no bugs were fixed since last release that caused notable code changes, and that we believe the code is ready for general usage (based on bug inflow).
For a description of MariaDB 5.2 see the What is MariaDB 5.2 page.
For a list of changes made in MariaDB 5.2.12, with links to detailed information on each push, see the MariaDB 5.2.12 Changelog.
In most respects MariaDB will work exactly as MySQL: all commands, interfaces, libraries and APIs that exist in MySQL also exist in MariaDB.
Important Security Fix for Rare Password Bug
MariaDB 5.2.12 fixes a bug that under certain rare circumstances allowed a user to connect with an invalid password. This is a serious security issue. We recommend upgrading from older versions as soon as possible.
Includes MariaDB 5.1.62 and MySQL 5.1.62
This version of MariaDB includes MariaDB 5.1.62, and by extension, MySQL 5.1.62. See the MariaDB 5.1.62 Release Notes for the changes made in MariaDB 5.1.62 and see Changes in MySQL 5.1.62 for what changed between this and previous MySQL versions.
