[[mariadb-5210-changelog|Changelog]]
**Release date:** 5 Dec 2011
MariaDB 5.2.10 is a [[release-criteria|Stable release]].In general this means
there are no known serious bugs and we believe the code is ready for general
usage. A "stable" MariaDB release is equivalent to a MySQL "GA" release.

In most respects [[MariaDB]] will work exactly as MySQL: all commands,
interfaces, libraries and APIs that exist in MySQL also exist in MariaDB.
