- Plugins API.
- Feature CORE-2700 - UDR (User Defined Routines) Engine - C++ API supporting functions, triggers and stored procedures.
- Feature CORE-2470 - Support for alternate format of strings literals.
- Feature CORE-2310 - DDL triggers.
- Feature CORE-2312 - PSQL Packages.
- Feature CORE-1209 - CONTINUE statement.
- Feature CORE-1180 - DDL syntax to change (not) nullable state of columns.
- Feature CORE-2090 - Support OVER () clause with current aggregate functions.
- Fixed CORE-2699 - Common table expression context could be used with parameters.
- Introduce ODS 12.0.
- Work in progress in type-safe parser.
- Refactor some DDL commands (procedures and triggers) from DYN to DdlNodes.
- Refactor virtual tables to use a class hierarchy instead of namespaces. This is basic thing, not based on the changes done in Vulcan. Window functions is based on this work.
- Refactor COMMENT ON and DROP FUNCTION from DYN to DdlNodes. COMMENT ON do not use GDML anymore, it uses DSQL with PreparedStatement class.
- Refactor EXECUTE BLOCK to StmtNodes.
- Refactor the IUDF to SysFunctions. That eliminates RDB$GET_CONTEXT and RDB$SET_CONTEXT from RDB$FUNCTIONS.
1) Fixed CORE-1696 - "Deadlock in LM by using nbackup utility" with priority rating of lock requesting for LCK_backup_database and LCK_bdb.
2) A lot of stability fixes were made.
3) The key thing is using new GlobalRWLock for removing LCK_set_owner_handle function and speed up performance.
4) The code is still ready for using both in shared cache architecture and in claster architecture.
This change affects GenericMap only, as it's used globally in a few places and we have a proven crash there.
I have a more complete solution (total cleanup of default accessors from BePlusTree and SparseBitmap) in my local tree (thanks to Dmitry Kovalenko), but it's incomplete (requires more changes inside the engine) and IMHO risky (~20 core modules are affected), so I'd like to defer finalization of this cleanup till v3.0.
All objects of these types seem being protected by dbb_sync, so they shouldn't cause us any problems currently.
