From: Otto Kekalainen Date: Sun, 10 Mar 2024 16:56:13 +0000 Subject: Show banner in server and client startup to drive community engagement Suggest to users that they can support MariaDB development by simply giving a star on GitHub. This patch experiments with how well such a banner works, and may later change the contents to drive some other kind of engagement. Client output: Welcome to the MariaDB monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
