Ubuntu 26.04 has been released! MariaDB is now in the 'main' archive, which for Ubuntu users and Canonical customers means that MariaDB is an officially supported core component, rather than just an extra option. Latest version also features an Ubuntu-tailored security like custom AppArmor profile for MariaDB and a hardened systemd service.

MyDumper is a MySQL Logical Backup Tool. I am not sure why but I have been notified by this new pre-release.

For anyone doing their first contribution to MariaDB: start out by learning how the mariadb-test-run command works and how to efficiently rebuild the MariaDB sources and re-run the test suite.

MariaDB’s new AppArmor profile is now enforcing in Debian unstable and heading to Ubuntu 26.04. If you are a dba/sysadmin, check your logs and share feedback via the Debian bug tracker.

I tried to use the new PARSEC auth method in MariaDB 11.8 but ran into an error:

> CREATE USER 'app_user'@'%' IDENTIFIED VIA parsec USING PASSWORD('your_secure_password');
ERROR 1524 (HY000): Plugin 'parsec' is not loaded

Why isn't the plugin loaded by default?
