Nov 1, 2025November 2025 — MariaDB/server: Focused on test stability and cross-environment reliability. Implemented two targeted test-safety fixes to reduce flaky failures in CI: (1) Musl Timezone DST edge-case handling to skip problematic tests when musl is detected, and (2) Test suite robustness by skipping sp-bugs2 when the perfschema feature is not compiled. These changes improve determinism, speed up feedback loops, and reduce debugging time, supporting faster, safer releases across Linux environments.

Aug 1, 2025August 2025 (MariaDB/server): Delivered Linux threading optimization and build-time refactor to reduce external dependencies and improve build times. Implemented tpool_min for mariadb-import to operate on Linux without libaio/liburing, while preserving full tpool behavior on other OSes. Refactored thread pool code to share a non-AIO library (tpool_common) and isolated AIO-specific functions into dedicated sources, preventing ABI breakage and enabling faster rebuilds. These changes reduce external dependencies, improve maintainability, and shorten development cycles while preserving functional parity.
