Applying HEX encoding write writting an ENUM/SET TYPELIB to FRM if the TYPELIB has 0x00 bytes in the value. This HEX encoding was earlier used only to write UCS2/UTF16/UTF32 TYPELIBs. A new flag FIELDFLAG_FRM_HEX_ENCODED_TYPELIB was added to indicate that the TYPELIB is hex encoded. It's used only inside FRM. Note, it's mangled with FIELDFLAG_TREAT_BIT_AS_CHAR. This should not be harmful: - BIT and ENUM/SET columns are handled by two separate code branches when opening an FRM - The flag is unset immediately after decoding TYPELIB, so the rest of the code does not se an unexpected flag combination.

MariaDB: The innovative open source database
MariaDB was designed as a drop-in replacement of MySQL(R) with more features, new storage engines, fewer bugs, and better performance.
MariaDB is brought to you by the MariaDB Foundation and the MariaDB Corporation. Please read the CREDITS file for details about the MariaDB Foundation, and who is developing MariaDB.
MariaDB is developed by many of the original developers of MySQL who now work for the MariaDB Corporation, the MariaDB Foundation and by many people in the community.
MySQL, which is the base of MariaDB, is a product and trademark of Oracle Corporation, Inc. For a list of developers and other contributors, see the Credits appendix. You can also run 'SHOW authors' to get a list of active contributors.
A description of the MariaDB project and a manual can be found at:

Getting the code, building it and testing it
Refer to the following guide: https://mariadb.org/get-involved/getting-started-for-developers/get-code-build-test/ which outlines how to build the source code correctly and run the MariaDB testing framework, as well as which branch to target for your contributions.
