# 5.2.2 is around the corner

I’ve just pushed the last batch of changes into 5.2 tree. The most important change was renaming **Maria** engine to **Aria** (with old `maria*` compatibility variables). Other — smaller — changes included adding all plugins to the windows `.zip` distribution (sphinx and oqgraph too), building `mysqld.exe` with federatedx, not old federated engine, refactoring of `mysql-test-run` suite to support pluggable per-suite extensions, print the plugin configuration in the `./configure` script, and other even smaller changes. Together with all bug fixes that 5.2 has accumulated over time it made the tree ready for the next release – 5.2.2!
