This is the first + release in the 10.11 series to be announced GA (general availability). The + 10.11 series has long-term support with commitment from the MariaDB Foundation + (https://mariadb.org/about/#maintenance-policy) to publish maintenance + versions with fixes to software defects and security vulnerabilities until + February 2028. + + The previous major releases (10.7, 10.8, 10.9, 10.10) were not long-terms + supported versions and thus not imported to Debian.

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.
