+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.
