Jan 1, 2026January 2026 — MariaDB/server: Delivered reliability and compatibility enhancements. Stability improvements to the test suite across concurrency-agnostic checks (gap_locks, performance_schema, user_var_func) with robust disconnect handling, and a regression fix for embedded mode: added temporary table-based thread filtering to improve Oracle compatibility and eliminated the need for replace_result. These changes reduce nondeterministic test failures, tighten process list accuracy, and strengthen CI feedback, enabling faster, safer releases.

Dec 1, 2025December 2025: Stabilized SSL-related tests and refined process-list validation in MariaDB/server to address flaky failures and improve test determinism. Implemented test adjustments to decouple SSL tests from concurrent connections and ensured all connections are closed prior to SHOW PROCESSLIST, resulting in more reliable CI outcomes and faster feedback on SSL/test regressions.
