State of MariaDB
summary
MariaDB presents concrete progress: 5.2 is stable, 5.3 enters alpha/beta while a 5.5 merge is planned; the optimizer is reworked yielding 100x speedups on many subqueries, a group commit between binlog and storage engines drastically improves replication throughput, and microsecond temporal types and dynamic columns add flexibility. Community contributions power most features, the code and plans live on Launchpad/knowledge base (1000+ articles), downloads total hundreds of thousands, a SkySQL partnership provides commercial support, and an LGPL C connector alpha is scheduled.
