The MariaDB project is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
MariaDB 10.0.2. This is an alpha release.

MariaDB 10.0 is the development version of MariaDB. It is built on the
MariaDB 5.5 series with backported features from MySQL 5.6 and entirely
new features not found anywhere else.

This is the third 10.0-based release, and we are releasing it now to
get it into the hands of any who might want to test it. Not all
features planned for the MariaDB 10.0 series are included in this
release. Additional features will be pushed in future releases. See the
release notes and changelog for details on what is new in this release.

Do not use alpha releases on production systems.

MariaDB includes a User Feedback plugin. This plugin is disabled by
default. If enabled, it submits basic, completely anonymous MariaDB
usage information. This information is used by the developers to track
trends in MariaDB usage to better guide development efforts.

If you would like to help make MariaDB better, please add "feedback=ON"
to your my.cnf (my.ini on Windows) file!

See http://kb.askmonty.org/en/user-feedback-plugin for more information.

The MariaDB project tries to support as many different Operating
Systems and Linux Distributions as we can. However, when a distribution
or OS stops receiving security and other updates it becomes difficult
to freely provide packages for that platform. In such cases, our policy
is to deprecate that platform and stop providing binary packages for it.

Accordingly, this will be the final release of MariaDB 10.0 for the
following distributions:

 - Ubuntu 8.04 LTS "Hardy"
 - Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric"

If your chosen Linux Distribution or Operating System is deprecated,
packages or support are not completely unavailable. Companies such as
SkySQL, Monty Program, and others provide support for all versions of
MariaDB back to even very old MySQL versions. This includes packaged
binaries. Contact them for more details.

More information on the deprecation policy can be found at:
