Re: [PHP-DB] MySQLnd support for ed25519

Hi Dimi,
hi everyone,

I don't know about this algorithm. On one running server and on my local 
linuxbox there is Mysql running.
On another server the provider changed from mysql to mariadb. As reason 
for the change from mysql 5.7 to mariadb 10.5
the provider only told his customers that mariadb is an enlargement of 
the database and based on mysql. Nothing told about
better security or any more, only that the provider looked forward 
without problems in the changingprocess.

Regards,
Ruprecht
