October 2011 to June 2012

Development in trunk:

1. Make services work correctly with multiple security databases
2. Added authentication plugins with SRP as default
3. Fixed races in YValve
4. Added over the wire encryption plugins with ARC4 as default
5. Fixed broken multi DB transaction
6. Lock database file when opening it on posix (support of new cache done by Vlad on posix)
7. Make all utilities follow same rules when expanding database name
8. Fixed use of UTF8 strings in services
9. Added system to UTF8 conversion on non-Windows systems
10. Make plugins use passed instance of master interface, not one got from fb_get_master_interface(). This helps in case when >1 fbclient libraries are loaded by a process.
11. Fixed problem with fetch on DDL statement in the remote protocol
12. Fixed java client login (i.e. full support of legacy protocol)
13. Implemented encryption of databases
14. Cross-build support + android port: work in progress, currently can build fbclient for android

 

Bug fixing and old branches support:

1. Make services work correctly with multiple security databases
2. Fixed CORE-3612: gfix-related services may loose error value in status vector in isc_service_start()
3. Posix-only fix for CORE-3600: temp files fb_query_xxxx remains after ISQL has been closed
4. CORE-3615: add silent_install target to firebird's Makefile

7. Helped A.Potapchenko to achieve proper linux build
8. Fixed CORE-3627: Server crashes with access violation when inserting row into table with unique index
9. Frontported fix for CORE-3589: Internal shared resource leak. Make trunk work with SystemV semaphores as shared mutexes/events.
10. Support FbTcs to keep it in sync with development
11. Fixed CORE-3677: Stop utilities from exporting entrypoints
12. Fixed CORE-3646: Segmentation fault in Linux
13. Fixed CORE-3658: FBSVCMGR connects to server as OS user name rather than value of ISC_USER environment variable
14. Fixed CORE-3724: Server hangs when working with events
15. Fixed CORE-3727: Support C preprocessor flags in firebird build system
16. Fixed CORE-3599: Possible drop role RDB$ADMIN

18. Fixed CORE-3732: Segfault when closing attachment to database
19. Fixed CORE-3733: GBAK fails to fix system generators while restoring
20. Fixed CORE-3736: WITH LOCK clause is allowed for users with read-only rights on some table, thus blocking others from updating this table
21. Fixed CORE-3750: Error increasing limits on posix (thanks to Dmitry Starodubov)
22. Fixed CORE-3762: gsec returns 0 return code on some errors
23. Fixed CORE-3649: gbak deletes backup file even if error happens when it's already successfully closed
24. Fixed CORE-3721: Multiuser server startup (/etc/init.d) script picks up the ISC_ variables if set.
25. Fixed CORE-3770: fbtracemgr loads CPU up to ~55% when no activity is present
26. Fixed CORE-3859: Too many different dynamic events crash server
27. Fixed CORE-3769: The message "Unknown tag (4) in isc_svc_query() results" appears when fbtracemgr is interrupted by Ctrl-C
