1. Frontported fix for CORE-3935 and CORE-3993.
2. Added debugging support for mutexes and rwlocks in Vulcan style.
Unfortunately after last 'svn up' build asserts in JrdStatement:71.
CORE-3656 : Support for sweep information in Trace API, and
CORE-2668 : Write note into log when automatic sweep is started
Also per-table stats is enabled at transaction level (see thread_db::bumpRelStats)
2) Reworked the lock manager synchronization: added the RAII mutex holders and avoided dirty reads for the shared memory.
3) Encapsulated lck_length into the Lock class + small related refactoring.
4) Front ported recent fixes from the v2.x branches.
5) Misc cleanup.
Also some cleanups, the most important are:
- meaningful ctor on Jrd::Lock, helping to avoid code dup
- avoid unneeded h-file dependencies, making boot build engine dependent
- Changed streams from UCHAR to ULONG as Dmitry wanted
- Got rid of some redundant flags to indicate BLR level
- Misc changes (for example, converted to test for DBB_read_only in Database to a function)
- BLR v6 is left commented (waiting for a better solution to appear, if any exists)
- This change is not going to raise the engine limits until a solution is found to express more than 255 streams in BLR.
2. Avoid massive segfaults when closing heavily loaded server.
3. Restored logic in YValve required for correct shutdown.
4. Do not change externally visible request body when preparing it.
Refactored the shared counter to support multiple number spaces.
Changed att_id and tra_id to be generated sequentially (without caching), as agreed with Vlad privately.
Fixed CORE-2305: Make mon$statement_id value constant among monitoring snapshots.
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Cleaned up the outdated code that never worked (mapping DISTINCT to an index, some VMS remainings).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.
