[Monetdb-announce] New MonetDB Release
by Stefan Manegold 19 Feb '08

19 Feb '08

The MonetDB team at CWI is pleased to announce the new "Feb2008" release of the MonetDB suite of programs. This release marks the roll forward of the binary storage layout to a single column storage layout. This involved a major overhaul of the MonetDB Server code. IMPORTANT NOTE: The database format of this release is not compatible with that of any previous release. Before installing this release, make a dump of your database, and do a restore afterwards. Further changes include: SQL: The functional extensions to SQL are limited. The mostly concern minor bugs and some of the optimizers have been improved to better exploit re-occurring joins. The core cracker code has been cleaned up for better inspection and sharing in the community. XQuery: Next to the original Pathfinder compiler (nick-named "milprint_summer" or simply "MPS"), the development of the new improved and enhanced Algebra-based Pathfinder compiler ("ALG") is progressing quickly. While the original MPS version remains the default in this release of MonetDB/XQuery, a preview of the new ALG version is now available without recompilation. JDBC & XRPC: The Java code (JDBC driver & XRPC wrapper) has been moved from the clients and pathfinder source trees to a dedicated java source tree in CVS, which can simply be compiled using "ant". Apart from this, many bugs have been fixed, and many speed improvements have been made. See http://monetdb.cwi.nl/Development/Releases/Version4.22/ for more details. The new release consists of the following packages: MonetDB Common 1.22.0 MonetDB Clients 1.22.0 MonetDB4 Server 4.22.0 MonetDB XQuery 0.22.0 MonetDB5 Server 5.4.0 MonetDB SQL 2.22.0 monetdb-1.7-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. -- | Dr. Stefan Manegold | mailto:Stefan.Manegold@cwi.nl | | CWI, P.O.Box 94079 | http://www.cwi.nl/~manegold/ | | 1090 GB Amsterdam | Tel.: +31 (20) 592-4212 | | The Netherlands | Fax : +31 (20) 592-4312 |

[Monetdb-announce] MonetDB 4.12.0 Release Announcement
by Fabian Groffen 23 Jun '06

23 Jun '06

It is my great pleasure to announce the availability of MonetDB 4.12.0 and its accompanying SQL 2.12.0 and XQuery 0.12.0. This release is the next step in delivering the high performance database system that has been under development for several years now. Some of the many changes since the 4.10.2 release include: MonetDB/XQuery 0.12.0 (nick-named "Ceres") Various improvments of functionality and performance. Addition of XPath extensions for XML standoff annotations. "Ceres" is a small detour on our trip to "Mars" [1], as update functionality is unfortunately still not robust enough for consumption by the majority. MonetDB/SQL 2.12.0 Many bugfixes. Support for local and global temporary tables. Preliminary support for triggers. For a complete list of new features and known problems, please see the release notes and errata list, available at: http://monetdb.cwi.nl/Development/Roadmap/Version4.12/index.html MonetDB/Five Alpha Release 1 ============================ The efforts on the next generation of MonetDB, version Five, are released now. This snapshot of version Five of MonetDB is the very first alpha release of this ongoing development. Beware: alpha is alpha! This software is only suitable as sneak-preview into the MonetDB developers team's kitchen! Come and taste some of the many delicious spices we prepare. Unlike the previous generation, Five comes with the MAL language, instead of MIL, which makes it completely incompatible with old MIL scripts. However, the SQL sources work fine with this alpha release. Comparing the performance of both backends via SQL should give you an indication of what our cooks will serve for dinner. This first alpha "appetiser" release of MonetDB/Five is nick-named "Tomato Soup". Interested users are invited to visit our MonetDB/Five page for more details: http://monetdb.cwi.nl/Development/Five/index.html Availability ============ The MonetDB family products are supported on i686, x86_64 and ia64 Linux, i686 Solaris 10, ppc and ppc64 Mac OS X 10.4 and i686 Windows XP. Binary distributions are available for Linux and Windows. The new release is available for download from our SourceForge page: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=56967 Acknowledgements ================ Many man-hours were donated by various people to make this release happening. I want to thank al MonetDB developers for their efforts spent into this piece of software. All of our contributors and bug reporters also deserve the credits for the time they put into their contribution. Further Information =================== Further information about MonetDB, MonetDB/SQL and MonetDB/XQuery is available on our web site at: http://monetdb.cwi.nl/ http://monetdb.cwi.nl/SQL/ http://monetdb.cwi.nl/XQuery/ For details about recent changes, migration from earlier versions, and future plans, please visit our roadmap page: http://monetdb.cwi.nl/Development/Roadmap/ [1] See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1_Ceres and http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_404.html
