Changes in Galera 4.16 (2023-08-18)

Codership is pleased to announce the release of Galera Replication library 4.16,
implementing wsrep API version 26.

The library is available as targeted packages and package repositories for a
number of Linux distributions, including Debian 10 (Buster) and 11 (Bullseye),
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic), 20.04 LTS (Focal) and 22.04 LTS (Jammy), CentOS 7 and
RHEL 7, 8, and 9. Obtaining packages using a package repository removes the need
to download individual files and facilitates the deployment and upgrade of
Galera nodes.

to be disabled first with `dnf -y module disable mysql mariadb`.

EOL May 31 2023.
