I've got the table compiled here.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1R7vwdctsoGQADY9i24yArvz8wQ59GSr59wKY6dUstbI/edit#gid=0

Would it be appropriate to add it to the KB?

I was going to put it on our company blog, but since new versions will
bring new features it should probably be a living document somewhere.

The only reason I could think of that it might not be appropriate on the KB
is that I do include the MySQL info too, and I'm not sure if that belongs
on the MariaDB wiki.

Also, two more questions:

   - How long has the Aria database had spatial index support? Since
   MariaDB 5.1?
   - I didn't see docs for X() and Y(), but they were in MySQL since 5.4 so
   I suspect that they're probably in MariaDB too.

Thanks!
Michael Moore
