Criteri di rilascio
Il team di MariaDB può solo promettere di coprire i bug di Aria o del codice che ha sviluppato per MariaDB. Per i bug di MySQL®, non può fornire alcuna garanzia. Tuttavia, per quei bug di MySQL che affliggono direttamente Aria o sono correlati con Aria, il team di MariaDB molto probabilmente sviluppa un fix o un workaround.
Le politiche di rilascio di MariaDB seguono i MySQL release criteria. Inoltre sono state adottate le seguenti regole per gli stadi di maturità:
The release policy for all Aria storage engine releases and all MariaDB (including Alpha) releases:
- All MariaDB releases should be free from bugs that can cause problems in 'normal' operation for most users.
- The MariaDB release will include all changes from the main MySQL tree up to at least the latest stable build of MySQL.
- If we make a release with known critical bugs (for example, if there is a really nasty bug we want to fix at once and get the fix out, while we are fixing other bugs), they will be documented in the KNOWN_BUGS.txt file.
Commitment for Beta Releases
- Aria/MariaDB is feature complete according to what is agreed among the MariaDB team captains for the release.
- No known serious bugs, except for those marked as feature requests.
- No bugs fixed since our last release that have caused notable code changes.
Commitment for Gamma/RC Releases
- No known serious bugs, except for those marked as feature requests
- No bugs fixed since last release that caused a notable code changes.
- We believe the code is ready for general usage (based on bug inflow), but we want more testing before calling it stable
Commitment for Stable/GA Releases
- No known serious bugs, except for those marked as feature requests.
- No bugs fixed since last release that caused a notable code changes.
- We believe the code is ready for general usage (based on bug inflow).
In the rare case when there is a bug that can't be fixed in a specific release (either because it's a design bug or the bug fix is likely to cause other, possibly worse bugs), we will document it in the KNOWN_BUGS.txt file that comes with the MariaDB distribution. However, we will try to keep these kinds of open bugs at a minimum.
