The MonetDB team at CWI/MonetDB BV is pleased to announce the Oct2012 feature release of the MonetDB suite of programs.

More information about MonetDB can be found on our website at http://www.monetdb.org/.

For details on this release, please see the release notes at http://www.monetdb.org/Downloads/ReleaseNotes.

As usual, the download location is http://dev.monetdb.org/downloads/.

Due to a packaging problem on Debian and Ubuntu, no binary packages for these systems exist. We apologise for the inconvenience. We expect this problem to be resolved by the Oct2012-SP1 release.
