Support for MariaDB 10.6

Feature requests
1

Hi Local WP Team and Community,

First, thanks for creating such a great tool for local WordPress development!

I’d like to request a feature to add MariaDB 10.6 as an available database option within Local WP. Currently, I believe the newest is 10.4.

MariaDB 10.6 offers some performance improvements and features compared to earlier versions. As managed WordPress hosts (like Cloudways) increasingly use MariaDB 10.6, having the option to develop locally with the same database version would improve environment parity and reduce potential compatibility issues.

Would it be possible to consider adding MariaDB 10.6 as a future option within Local WP’s database settings?

Thanks for your consideration!

Thank you for raising this @john-savepoint! I’ve checked with the Local team and they’ve got a ticket in to get the MariaDB version raised up. We don’t have an ETA on when this will be ready but we’ll share an update here once that’s released!
