Dec 2011-SP1 bugfix release Build Environment * Fixed some of the package names for Debian/Ubuntu. Packages for libraries should contain the major number of the library version number. This was not always the case. * On Debian and Ubuntu, install Python modules in dist-packages instead of site-packages. This fixed bug 2997. SQL * Fixed a crash that happened at the end of a database upgrade to the Dec2011 database scheme. The crash happened during cleanup after the database was upgraded, so it was merely inconvenient. * Stripped off implementation-specific parts from error messages before they get presented to the user. Java Module * Fixed bug in DatabaseMetaData.getSchemas() method that caused an SQL error when called with catalog and schema argument. * Resolved a bug where JDBC and Control connections could terminate abruptly with 'Connection closed' messages MonetDB5 Server * Fixed potential crash by dealing better with non-standard types. Merovingian * Fixed a bug in the multiplex-funnel where certain clients would abort on responses for update queries. * Fixed problem where version and mserver properties for monetdbd were not always successfully retrieved.
