# MariaDB 10.2.28 Release Notes

The most recent release of [MariaDB 10.2](/docs/release-notes/community-server/old-releases/10.2/what-is-mariadb-102.md) is:[**MariaDB 10.2.44**](/docs/release-notes/community-server/old-releases/10.2/10.2.44.md) Stable (GA) [Download Now](https://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/10.2.44/)

After an upgrade MariaDB Server can crash if InnoDB tables exist with a `FULLTEXT INDEX` and a `FOREIGN KEY` constraint attached to them. We got reports that the crash already will be encountered on startup, but a crash is also possible at a later stage. See [MDEV-20987](https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-20987) for more details.**Do not download or use this release.**

Upgrading from 10.2 versions earlier than 10.2.17 is **highly recommended** for all [**Galera**](https://mariadb.com/docs/galera-cluster/) users due to bug [MDEV-12837](https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-12837) which caused serious stability issues with earlier versions. See the bug issue page for more information.\
When upgrading from [MariaDB 10.2.16](/docs/release-notes/community-server/old-releases/10.2/10.2.16.md) or earlier to [MariaDB 10.2.17](/docs/release-notes/community-server/old-releases/10.2/10.2.17.md) or higher, running mysql\_upgrade is **required** due to changes introduced in [MDEV-14637](https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-14637).
