What MariaDB versions does HeidiSQL officially support?

Apologies if this is a stupid question, but is there a list of supported databases and their versions for each HeidiSQL release?

For example, I can see the latest HeidiSQL release is 12.1. Does this support MariaDB version 10.6?

There is no official support list which includes the server versions.

Newer server versions rarely make problems, apart from let's say yet unsupported new column data types. And I've made quite some effort to support even very old servers, even older than MariaDB itself, so more MySQL specific.

Note that if something in the connection fails, be sure to try out the library (libmysql, libmariadb). Different libraries can change a lot especially when you need some SSL or tunnel support.

If everything fails, feel free to ask here in the forum.

Thanks for the reply, that all makes sense to me.

I can see from the homepage statistics that there are thousands of MariaDB 10.6 users... so I think I'm safe!

Thank you once again. :)
