+  The default MySQL version has been updated from 5.5 to 5.6.
+
+  If you compile your own ports you may keep 5.5 as the default version by
+  adding the following lines to your /etc/make.conf file:
+
+  #
+  # Keep MySQL 5.5 as default version
+  #
+  DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=mysql= 5.5 
+
+  If you wish to update to the new default version, you need to first stop any
+  running server instance. Then, you will need to follow these steps, depending
+  on intalled packages.
+
+  # pkg set -o databases/mysql55-client:databases/mysql56-client
+  # pkg set -o databases/mysql55-server:databases/mysql56-server
+  # pkg upgrade
