I got questions on this during DebConf19, and to clarify, the NEW mentioned in "use the new LGPL client libraries" refers to the MariaDB Connector C, which on Linux systems usually have the package name libmariadb2 or libmariadb3. This is the same client library that is inside the server since MariaDB 10.3. The paragraphs above about "new" and "old" only apply to MariaDB 10.2 or older. In new MariaDB releases there is only the new library and no legacy anyore.
