# MariaDB 5.5.37 Overview and Highlights

MariaDB 5.5.37 was recently released (it is the latest MariaDB 5.5), and is available for download here: <https://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/5.5.37/> This is a maintenance release, and so there are not too many big changes of note, just a number of normal bug fixes. However, there are a few items worth mentioning:

- Includes all bugfixes and updates from [MySQL 5.5.37](http://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.5/en/news-5-5-37.html)
- XtraDB updated to the version from Percona Server 5.5.36-34.0 
    - Including fix for [Bug #1227581](https://bugs.launchpad.net/percona-server/+bug/1227581) (referenced in [my 5.5.36 post](http://www.chriscalender.com/?p=1464)).
- TokuDB updated to version 7.1.5
- Default compression for TokuDB is now TOKUDB\_ZLIB (instead of TOKUDB\_UNCOMPRESSED)
- The MariaDB Audit Plugin now included.

Given the number of InnoDB and XtraDB fixes (in 5.5.37 and 5.5.36 respectively), if you are using InnoDB or XtraDB+ in MariaDB 5.5, then I would definitely recommend upgrading to MariaDB 5.5.37. If interested, there is more about the 5.5.37 release here: <https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-5537-release-notes/> And the full list of fixed bugs and changes in MariaDB 5.5.37 can be found here: <https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-5537-changelog/> Hope this helps.
