MariaDB 5.2 contains features that didn't have time to go into MariaDB 5.1. For all practical purposes it's a drop in replacement for MariaDB 5.1 (and thus MySQL 5.1).

MariaDB 5.2 is based on MariaDB 5.1 and thus MySQL 5.1.

The new features in 5.2 are quite isolated and as most have been in use by members in the MySQL community for a long time. Current versions of MariaDB 5.2 are stable and can be downloaded from http://downloads.askmonty.org.

New storage engines

  • OQGRAPH
    • Allows you to handle hierarchies (tree structures) and complex graphs (nodes having many connections in several directions)
  • SphinxSE: Text search within MariaDB.
    • A built-in Sphinx client which allows MariaDB to talk to searchd, run search queries, and obtain search results.

New features

Other things

We have also done several smaller speed improvements, bug fixes and code cleanups.
