This is a release of MariaDB, a branch of MySQL.

MariaDB is a drop-in replacement of MySQL, with more features, less
bugs and better performance.

MariaDB is brought to you by many of the original developers of MySQL,
that now work for Monty Program Ab, and by many people in the
community.

MySQL, which is the base of MariaDB, is brought to you by Sun.
