Hello all,
This afternoon I updated the snapshot jars posted on the downloads page. It would be great for anyone interested in the Derby network client driver which was recently added to the trunk (10.1.0.0 alpha), or any other recently added feature or bugfix in which you are interested, to test them out and report your findings. Those interested in testing Derby on their favorite platform/JVM will find the corresponding derbyTesting.jar in the snapshot file. Also, please note that the zip snapshots were generated on Windows and the tar.gz snapshots were generated on Unix, so text files in the snapshots should have the proper line endings.
Here are the highlights for each new snapshot:
10.1.0.0 alpha - FOR TESTING ONLY. Please see the warning about using alpha releases on the downloads page:
http://incubator.apache.org/derby/derby_downloads.html#Development+trunk
- Derby network client driver added. Use the included derbyclient.jar in place of db2jcc.jar. Additional information on its use can be found in the functional specification attached to this post: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.db.derby.devel/2960
- DATE and TIMESTAMP functions which correctly match the documentation
- First phase of online compress functionality
- Derby-176: queries with extensive joins no longer cause java linkage error
- Derby-186: Set currentPosition for scrollable cursors when moving past the last row
- Derby-134: Improvement to allow ordering by expressions, instead of correlation names or column positions only.
- Derby-96: beginning support for recovery from out-of-order log records
- Derby-106: spill BackingStoreHashTables to disk to prevent out of memory errors in hash joins
- DERBY-158: PRIMARY KEY does not imply NOT NULL
- INTERSECT/EXCEPT support
- Preliminary JSR169 support
- Snapshot includes demo and scripts
- Fixed Eclipse plugin version specification
- Lots more that I've left out :-)
