MariaDB 11.5.0 is a single preview release. Features are to be considered preview, and none are guaranteed to make it into MariaDB 11.5.

New Features

Temporary files and tables

Data Types

  • The TIMESTAMP range of values was extended. The maximal allowed value for timestamps was '2038-01-19 03:14:07 UTC', and is now '2106-02-07 06:28:15 UTC'. This does not change the storage format, and new tables can be read by old MariaDB servers as long as timestamp values are within the old timestamp range. At the moment this is only supported on 64-bit platforms (MDEV-32188).

Optimizer

Protocol

  • Permit bulk implementation to return ALL individual results (MDEV-30366)
  • Send initial values of system variables in first OK packet (MDEV-31609)
