Hello.
mysql55-server-5.5.66 when will appear in ports?
Now in the ports of mysql55-server-5.5.61
Have not updated the mysql55-server-5.5 port for a long time.
 
I would suggest taking the opportunity and migrate to MySQL 5.6 or MariaDB. MySQL 5.6 is the current default MySQL version.

If you really need 5.5 try contacting the maintainer and ask if he's already working on an update.
 
Is there a specific reason why you're looking for 5.5.66? The port was updated in August and is only a minor version behind the MySQL website (.62), so it's not exactly far behind, especially for a very old branch of MySQL.

The official MySQL downloads page offers 5.5.62 as the current version. The release notes page shows .62 and .63, but both are listed as not released (even though .62 clearly is) and there are no details in the change log.

I'm struggling to find anything at all about a .66 version.

The programmer says that you need to use mysql 5.5.
Yes, you are right, on the official site, I also see only 5,5,62
 
Other than what has been said above it's usually never a problem to use a newer version of an SQL database server because those are backwards compatible, especially when we're talking minor version changes as here. In other words: even if the programmer used specific features for 5.5 then you can be pretty certain that those will also be supported in 5.6.

Therefor I wouldn't even bother and just grab the latest 5.x release. It should work without any problems.
 
Currently, the ports mysql56 and mysql 57 are marked as unsafe.

MySQL 5.5 is vulnerable to the same things. As it's vulnerable to the exact same issues it should not be stopping you from migrating to 5.6 or 5.7. By the time you're done and your programmer is up to date these vulnerabilities are likely to be fixed.

I will wait, I hope the ports will be fixed quickly.
