Since we already have the define ISC_STATUS_LENGTH for the the length of
the status vector, we should use it! Replaced 'status[20]' with
'status[ISC_STATUS_LENGTH]'.
Replaced the different symbolic names for the maximum length of a path
(MAX_PATH, MAX_PATH_LENGTH, MAXPATHLEN) with one uniq symbol MAXPATHLEN.
o use predefined macros to test for sys/wait.h, time.h and sys/time.h
o search strcasecmp in libresolv only if strcasecmp and stricmp are not in libc
o use predefined macro AC_SYS_LARGEFILE to determine 64Bit I/O
o determine the alignment of long and double (ALIGNMENT,DOUBLE_ALIGN),
still need to write a test for FB_ALIGN!
in dialect 3 only.
2. BREAK statement has been disabled in triggers (like EXIT) because of the known
BLR limitations. I hope it can be safely used in stored procedures though, hence
I'd prefer to have it officially documented.
3. More complete implementation of the GROUP BY clause. You can group by internal
functions and have ability to use more complex grouping conditions than before.
By Arno Brinkman.
4. Allowed declaring and defining local variables at the same time.
By Claudio Valderrama.
Syntax: declare [variable] <var_name> <var_type> [{= | default} <default_value>]
5. Allowed ordinals to be used in the GROUP BY clause (like ORDER BY).
By Arno Brinkman.
Example: select extract(month from order_date), sum(order_sum) from orders group by 1
6. The first approach to the ALTER VIEW statement. Only high-level implementation so far.
A lot of work in dfw.epp, metd.epp, etc. still required.
By Dmitry Yemanov.
Fix build of shared library so global objects have thier constructors called
Added readline to isql
Added version numbers to libgds.so.2.0.0
Change install location and version to be driven from ./configure file
