Dear MonetDB users and developers
(and those who want to become either or both ;-),
the following new bug-fix release of the MonetDB family are available for
download from SourceForge at
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=56967 :
MonetDB 4.8.2
MonetDB/SQL 2.8.2
MonetDB/XQuery 0.8.2
Changes since the respective ".0" releases are mainly bug fixes.
A digest of the detailed CVS log messages is available in the
Monetdb-changelogs mailing list on SF:
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/monetdb-changelogs/ .
All users are highly advised to use the releases as of now
(see below for details concerning download and/or CVS checkout/update).
See the MonetDB/XQuery web site (http://monetdb-xquery.org/) for detailed
product information and the Pathfinder web site
(http://pathfinder-xquery.org) as well as the respective technical report
(http://www.cwi.nl/htbin/ins1/publications?request=abstract&key=BoGrMaRiTe:T…)
for scientific background information.
To ask for support and report bugs or problems, please use the MonetDB-Users
mailing list at SourceForge
(https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/monetdb-users) or the bug
tracing system at SourceForge
(http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=56967&atid=482468); however,
please always state clearly, which version of MonetDB you are using (as the
Mserver tells you at startup)!
Any support for the now obsolete "MonetDB 4.8.0", "MonetDB/SQL 2.8.0", and
"MonetDB/XQuery 0.8.0" will stop as of now.
Download
========
Pre-packaged source- & binary-distributions are available on SourceForge:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=56967 .
CVS update
==========
If you are already using a CVS version of MonetDB, sql, or pathfinder,
you can run either
"cvs update -dP -rMonetDB_4-8-2" (MonetDB)
"cvs update -dP -rSQL_2-8-2" (sql)
"cvs update -dP -rXQuery_0-8-2" (pathfinder)
to get this very release, or
"cvs update -dP -rMonetDB_4-8" (MonetDB)
"cvs update -dP -rSQL_2-8" (sql)
"cvs update -dP -rXQuery_0-8" (pathfinder)
to get the most recent version in the release branch. The difference is,
that via the first option, you are "stuck" with this very release, i.e.,
future "cvs update -dP" (without "-r..." or "-A") will not change your
checked-out version; via the second option, however, future "cvs update -dP"
will get you again the latest version in the release branch.
CVS check-ins
=============
All bug fixes (and only these!) on MonetDB, sql, and/or pathfinder are bound
to go to the new release candidate branches
("MonetDB_4-8"/"SQL_2-8"/"XQuery_0-8"), only!
On a regular basis, we will then take care of propagating these bug-fixes
back to the respective development trunks.
All new features are bound to go to the respective development trunks
(and only there!).
As usually, any (constructive;-)) comments and feedback are more than welcome!
Enjoy!
The MonetDB/XQuery & Pathfinder Team.
