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.
Bug Fixes * 6325: Merge table unusable in other connections * 6328: Transactional/multi-connection issues with merge tables * 6336: VALUES multiple inserts error * 6339: Mserver5 crashes on nested SELECT * 6340: sample operator takes effect after the execution of the query, expected before * 6341: MERGE TABLE issue: Cannot register * 6342: MERGE TABLE issue: hang * 6344: Spurious errors and assertions (SQLsmith) * 6375: MAL profiler truncates JSON objects larger than 8192 characters
