Fixed the layering for WITH LOCK and (partially) ANY/ALL predicates.
Cleaned up the outdated code that never worked (mapping DISTINCT to an index, some VMS remainings).
Wiped out a lot of the pre-ODS11 optimizer logic. Some minor adjustments there.
Re-implemented the full outer join from scratch. This resolves CORE-2678 (full outer join cannot use available indices).
Resolved CORE-2796: DB_KEY is always zero for external tables.
Implemented the core part of the scrollable PSQL cursors. Implementation is still incomplete, but ready for testing.
Some other changes I don't recall at the moment ;-)

- 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.
Ability to stop execution of external query when :
- engine is shutted down
- database is shutted down
- local statement is cancelled
- local connection is cancelled
This dramatically reduces the memory usage for bulk updates, thus solving CORE-1575 (serious memory bug on multiple update a table in a single transaction) and CORE-1477 (Avoiding excessive memory consumption by undo-log after series of updates) and predicting out-of-memory conditions that could often lead to record-level corruptions.
related with local events from isc_sync.cpp.
2. Cleanup - removed unused parameter 'number of events' from ISC_event_wait()
and two unused parameters from ISC_event_init().
3. Added SYSV-semaphore based implementation of IPC to isc_sync.cpp.
This should fix CORE-2102: Firebird 2.5 does not build on MacOS (Darwin).
4. Fixed use of posic CS without (x)inetd (i.e. fb_inet_server -s).
5. Fixed (to be reviewed by Dmitry) recovery after some process death in lock manager.
