Restore database version support for older WordPress releases - #484
Merged
Conversation
WordPress 5.0 through 5.4 reads server information directly through the MySQL extension. Keep the drop-in override so these releases work with the emulated server.

Summary
Restore
WP_SQLite_DB::db_version()and remove the redundant implementation from the unit-testwpdbstub.Why
WordPress 5.4 and older do not provide
wpdb::db_server_info(). Their inheriteddb_version()asks the MySQL extension for server information directly, which does not work with the SQLite-backed connection used by Playground. Defining the method on the drop-in makes these releases read the emulated MySQL version through the driver API.Fixes WordPress/wordpress-playground#4256
