MariaDB 5.2.6 is a Stable release. In general this means there are no known serious bugs and we believe the code is ready for general usage. A "stable" MariaDB release is equivalent to a MySQL "GA" release.

See for information how to setup your Debian or Ubuntu system to use the new repositories.
In addition to packages for 32-bit Windows, we now also have 64-bit Windows packages in this version of MariaDB.
In this version of MariaDB we have done a lot of work on our Windows builds and we have created a new MSI installer for MariaDB which has lots of improvements over the old .exe installer.
See for more details and instructions on how to use the new installer.
The Windows ZIP package has been improved in this version of MariaDB. See for more details.
A Windows-specific version of mysql_install_db is being introduced in the
Windows builds of this version of MariaDB. mysql_install_db.exe is
comparable to the shell script mysql_install_db that is used on Unix-like
platforms, but with several Windows-specific enhancements.
See the page for details.
In this version of MariaDB there is an upgrade wizard for converting MySQL instances to MariaDB.
