I just noticed that the latest version of XAMPP has replaced MySQL with MariaDB, which I have never heard of. To my knowledge, both Joomla and Wordpress continue to use MySQLi. I supposed I could just continue to use older versions of XAMPP but I find this disappointing.
MariaDB was made by the same programmer who wrote MySQL. It is extremely similar to MySQL and you can use MySQLi or PDO to interact with it. You won't notice a difference.
