+mariadb-10.5 (1:10.5.5-1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+   The latest version 10.5 of the MariaDB Server came out in June 2020 and is
+   guaranteed to have security releases at least until summer 2025.
+
+   For more information on what is new in MariaDB 10.5 check out:
+   https://speakerdeck.com/ottok/debconf-2020-whats-new-in-mariadb-server-10-dot-5-and-galera-4
+   or video from https://peertube.debian.social/videos/watch/bb80cf53-d9ba-4ed9-b472-a21238fb67f5.
+
+   Quick summary:
+   - Service name is now 'mariadb', e.g. /etc/init.d/mariadb and systemctl mariadb
+   - The main server binary is now running as 'mariadbd' instead of old 'mysqld'
+   - Many commands are now mariadb-* instead of old mysql*, but old names
+     continue to work as symlinks
+   - Referencing the /etc/mysql/debian.cnf file is not advised anymore. It will
+     be deprecated in a future Debian release and has been obsolete anyway for
+     several years now since MariaDB in Debian introduced Unix socket
+     authentication for the root account in 2015.
+
+   MariaDB 10.5 has been tested to be backwards compatible with all previous
+   versions of MariaDB and all previous versions of MySQL up until version 5.7.
+   Note that MySQL 8.0 introduces significant backwards incompatible changes
+   compared to MySQL 5.7, and thus in-place binary upgrades from MySQL 8.0 to
+   MariaDB 10.5 are not possible, but sysadmins need to upgrade by exporting and
+   importing SQL dumps of their databases.
+
+   If you encounter any bugs, please make sure your bug report is of highest
+   standards so we can quickly reproduce and fix the issue. Even better if you
+   find the solution yourself, and can submit it as a Merge Request at
+   https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-10.5/
+
+   If you appreciate the Debian packaging work done, please star us on Salsa!

+mariadb-10.1 (10.1.20-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+    MariaDB is now the default MySQL variant in Debian, at version 10.1. The
+    Stretch release introduces a new mechanism for switching the default
+    variant, using metapackages created from the 'mysql-defaults' source
+    package. For example, installing the metapackage 'default-mysql-server' will
+    install 'mariadb-server-10.1'. Users who had 'mysql-server-5.5' or
+    'mysql-server-5.6' will have it removed and replaced by the MariaDB
+    equivalent. Similarly, installing 'default-mysql-client' will install
+    'mariadb-client-10.1'.
+
+    Note that the database binary data file formats are not backwards
+    compatible, so once you have upgraded to MariaDB 10.1 you will not be able
+    to switch back to any previous version of MariaDB or MySQL unless you have a
+    proper database dump. Therefore, before upgrading, please make backups of
+    all important databases with an appropriate tool such as 'mysqldump'.
+
+    The 'virtual-mysql-*' and 'default-mysql-*' packages will continue to exist.
+    MySQL continues to be maintained in Debian, in the unstable release. See the
+    page https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/MySQL more information about the
+    mysql-related software available in Debian.
