Oct 2014-SP2 bugfix release
Client Package
* Changes to the Perl interface, thanks to Stefan O'Rear: 1. removes
"use sigtrap", because this has global effects and should not be
used by modules, only by the application. 2. allows Perl 5.8.1+
Unicode strings to be passed to quote() and included in statements
(UTF-8 encoded, as expected by Monet's str module) 3. quote and
unquote now use the same quoting rules as the MonetDB server,
allowing for all characters except NUL to be round-tripped 4.
several character loops have been reimplemented in regex for much
greater performance 5. micro-optimizations to the result fetch loop
6. block boundaries are preserved in piggyback data so that Xclose
is not appended or prepended to a SQL command 7. diagnostic
messages #foo before a result header are ignored, this is necessary
to use recycler_pipe 8. fail quickly and loudly if we receive a
continuation prompt (or any other response that starts with a
non-ASCII character) 9. header lines must start with %, not merely
contain %, fixing a bug when querying a table where string values
contain % 10. after closing a large resultset, account for the fact
that a reply will come and do not lose sync 11. allow a MAPI_TRACE
environment variable to dump wire protocol frames to standard
output 12. fixes maximum MAPI block size to match the server limit
of 16k. previously would crash on blocks larger than 16k
SQL
* Fixed a typo in a column name of the sys.tablestoragemodel view
(auxillary changed to auxiliary).
