Tally galera version with mysql release version

[byte]

this involves going thru releases, one by one.

focus on 8.0 first.

8.4 is easy, there is only one.

then do 5.7 for legacy purposes.

Model it after: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/what-is-mariadb-galera-cluster/#galera-versions

Much easier to do here because it is just one 8.0.x version that is linked to a galera 26.4.x release

I suggest also linking to the release notes. A complete list of releases that are still being hosted are here: https://releases.galeracluster.com/

it is manual work, but shouldn't be hard to do.

Take inspiration from https://galeracluster.com/2024/08/galera-cluster-for-mysql-8-0-39-26-20-released/ and other release posts.

See how we have release notes linked, download (point to the release notes of the server itself).

sometimes there is no change in the galera replication library, so link to the older release as well.

make it a table.

Do you mean something like this:

Galera Version	Released in MySQL Version
8.4.2-26.20	8.4.2
8.0.39-26.20	8.0.39

plus the link

@kirjaamo not quite

galera version | released with MySQL version
4.20 | 8.0.39-26.20
4.19 | 8.0.37-26.19

and so on

@byte On 5.7, the latest match between version numbers is Galera 3.37 and MySQL 5.7.37-25.29. However, there are MySQL release notes up to 5.7.44-25.36. In which Galera version are MySQL 5.7.38-25.30 - 5.7.44-25.36?

@byte Should I make the links to the release notes in this structure: https://releases.galeracluster.com/

https://galeracluster.com/2024/07/galera-cluster-for-mysql-8-0-37-26-19-released/ is also good, but we don't have such pages for all releases.

sometimes you'll notice the release notes state a mysql will use the same older galera library, this is perfectly ok

release notes at releases.galeracluster.com + why not also a link to the blog. lets be complete. there is definitely such a place for all 5.7 and 8 and 8.4 releases - i know, i wrote most of them ;)

@byte Ok. I'll try to find the correct posts for different releases.
