Hi all,

     I’m seeing a version string like this from the server in the
initial handshake:

5.5.5-10.1.16-MariaDB

     Why does MariaDB negotiate with a different-format version string
than MySQL? Is this documented somewhere?

to confuse security scanners facing the "5.5.5" instead at least a*recent* 5.5.x
