Dear MonetDB users and developers,
The MonetDB team at CWI is pleased to announce the new "Jun2008" release of
the MonetDB suite of programs.
For MonetDB/XQuery, this release marks the roll forward from the old
"milprint_summer"-based Pathfinder compiler to the new "Algebra"-based
Pathfinder compiler.
MonetDB/SQL has been extended with initial support for OpenGIS via the
"Geom[etry]" extension module, aka. MonetDB/SQL/GIS.
Additionally, the configure defaults for compilation from sources on
Unix(-like) systems as well as the Windows installers have been cleaned-up.
For more information, please see the detailed release notes at
http://monetdb.cwi.nl/Development/Releases/Version4.24/
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Before upgrading to the latest "Jun2008" release from any previous release
of MonetDB, please make a dump of your database, and rename/move/backup the
database directories (dbfarm, sql_logs, xquery_logs). After the upgrade,
restore your database, again. Once you have checked and confirmed the
correctness of the restore, you can delete the above renamed/moved/backed-up
old database directories.
For more information, please see the detailed release notes at
http://monetdb.cwi.nl/Development/Releases/Version4.24/
The new release consists of the following packages:
MonetDB Common 1.24.0
MonetDB Clients 1.24.0
MonetDB4 Server 4.24.0
MonetDB4 XQuery 0.24.0
MonetDB5 Server 5.6.0
MonetDB5 SQL 2.24.0
MonetDB5 Geom 0.4.0
monetdb-1.8-jdbc.jar
There is of course also a new "Super Source Ball", a tarball containing the
combined sources.
All this is available on our SourceForge project page. See
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=56967 for the
downloadable files.
Enjoy!
The MonetDB development team.
