.A new module stream: `mariadb:10.11`
MariaDB 10.11 is now available as a new module stream, `mariadb:10.11`. Notable enhancements over the previously available version 10.5 include:
* A new `sys_schema` feature.
* Atomic Data Definition Language (DDL) statements.
* A new `pass:[GRANT ... TO PUBLIC]` privilege.
* Separate `SUPER` and `READ ONLY ADMIN` privileges.
* A new `UUID` database data type.
* Support for the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol version 3; the MariaDB server now requires correctly configured SSL to start.
* Support for the natural sort order through the `natural_sort_key()` function.
* A new `SFORMAT` function for arbitrary text formatting.
* Changes to the UTF-8 charset and the UCA-14 collation.
* `systemd` socket activation files available in the `/usr/share/` directory. Note that they are not a part of the default configuration in RHEL as opposed to upstream.
* Error messages containing the `MariaDB` string instead of `MySQL`.
* Error messages available in the Chinese language.
* Changes to the default logrotate file.
* For MariaDB and MySQL clients, the connection property specified on the command line (for example, `--port=3306`), now forces the protocol type of communication between the client and the server, such as `tcp`, `socket`, `pipe`, or `memory`.
