Jul 2017-SP1 bugfix release
Build Environment
* The Debian and Ubuntu installers have been fixed: there was a file
missing in the Jul2017 release.
* Added a new RPM called MonetDB-selinux which provides the SELinux
policy required to run MonetDB under systemd, especially on Fedora
26.
* The Windows installers (*.msi files) are now created using the WiX
Toolset.
* The Windows binaries are now built using Visual Studio 2015.
Because of this, you may need to install the Visual C++
Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 before being able to run
MonetDB.
Merovingian
* monetdbd was leaking open file descriptors to the mserver5 process
it started. This has been fixed.
MonetDB Common
* Many functions in GDK are now annotated with the GCC attribute
__warn_unused_result__ meaning that the compiler will issue a
warning if the result of the function (usually an indication of an
error) is not used.
