[ Sorry for posting this message a second time, but since I haven't see the ] [ first version neither on my mail box nor on the respective archive on SF, ] [ I need to test, whether the mailing list is working at all... ] Dear MonetDB users and developers, I just created the new release-candidate branch "MonetDB_4-3-16". The current version is tagged as "MonetDB_4-3-16_rc04". All users are highly advised (actually "requested" ;-) to use the "MonetDB_4-3-16" branch as of now. To do so, check-out or update from CVS with "-rMonetDB_4-3-16", or download one of the prepared source and binary packages from SourceForge: - a source distribution (.tar.gz) - 3 RPMs (server, client, devel) - a Windows installer (.zip file, extract and execute the Setup.exe) Please do not hesiate to ask for support and report bugs, preferably via the bug tracing system at SF (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=56967&atid=482468) or via email to monet@cwi.nl; however, please always state clearly which version of MonetDB you are using (as the Mserver tells you at startup)! Any support for the now obsolete "Monet_4-3-14" will stop as of now. All bug fixes (and only these!) on MonetDB are bound to go to the new release-candidate branch ("MonetDB_4-3-16"), first, and then to be propagated to the main branch. All new features are bound to go to the main branch (and only there!). This release-candidate branch will become the new stable/release branch within the next 5 weeks. At least until then, this release-candidate branch will be tested every night. All add-on modules that are tested every night will be tested with this release-branch, *only*, unless the very maintainer(s) of any add-on module request differently. I'll try to also test the main/development branch every night, but surely only MonetDB, no add-on modules. As usually, any (constructive;-) comments and feedback are more than welcome! Enjoy!
