We have made final switch from Drizzle to MariaDB client library for mySQL plugin and mySQL datasource in Valentina Reports.
Thank to this step we have got C client library with totally same API as native mySQL client library and therefore:
a) Implement support of few results of few commands executed at once.
b) Resolve trouble of some users which have passwords in old format.

It looks like we weren’t the only ones to look towards MariaDB as a better MySQL than MySQL. Wikimedia is doing the same – http://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/04/22/wikipedia-adopts-mariadb/
