Release 1.5.4

Scheduled for Q4 2006 - Q1 2007

This is the fourth point release of the v1.5 series. It introduces a few bugfixes backported from the v2.0 codebase that address the most important of the known issues. We expect it to be the last update of the v1.5 series.

Release 2.0.1

Scheduled for Q4 2006 - Q1 2007

A number of serious bugs were found in the v2.0 release during the past month and we'd like to offer an update targeted at resolving the discovered regressions and some old issues as well.

Release 2.1

Scheduled for Q2 2007

This will be an intermediate release to enable us to deliver some parts of the accomplished work before the v3.0 release. It represents the new project strategy that's intended to shorten the release cycle and provide releases more often. This version includes:

• Triggers for attach/detach and transaction operations
• Compatibility between TEXT BLOB and [VAR]CHAR
• Usage of domains in PSQL
• Database runtime monitoring
• Asynchronous statement cancellation
• MERGE and conditional UPDATE/INSERT statements
• Global temporary tables
• Common table expressions and recursive queries
• Win64 port
• Many bugfixes

Release 3.0

Scheduled for Q4 2007

The major goal of this version is to provide a fine-grained multi-threading in the SuperServer architecture, as well as some other features implemented in the Vulcan branch. You may also expect in this release:

• Embedded user account storage
• User account maintenance via SQL
• External procedures (in Java and other languages)
• SQL functions
• External data sources and cross-database queries
• Database encryption
• SQL tracing/logging
• Optimizer improvements
