+- `OFFSET` is a reserved keyword in MariaDB 10.6, so the former
+  `OFFSET` parameter name in the `get_head_relative` function was
+  changed to HeadOffset. See
+  [`update_dumps/README.md`](update_dumps/README.md) for information
+  on how to update old SQL dumps to be compatible with this renaming
+  and MariaDB >= 10.6.
