Issues

Compared with the previous release (10.9.1.0), Derby release 10.9.1.1 introduces the following new features and incompatibilities. These merit your special attention.

    Build Environment

    Derby release 10.9.1.1 was built using the following environment:

    • Branch - Source code came from the 10.9 branch.
    • Machine - Cygwin on Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate
    • Ant - Apache Ant version 1.7.1 compiled on June 27 2008.
    • JDK 1.4 - Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_19-b04, mixed mode).
    • Java 6 - Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_35-b10, mixed mode, sharing).
    • Compiler - The 1.6.0_13 javac was used to compile all classes.
    • JSR 169 - Java ME support was built using libraries from phoneME Advanced Milestone Release 3.

    Verifying Releases

    It is essential that you verify the integrity of the downloaded files using the PGP and MD5 signatures. MD5 verification ensures the file was not corrupted during the download process. PGP verification ensures that the file came from a certain person.

    The PGP signatures can be verified using PGP or GPG. First download the Apache Derby KEYS as well as the asc signature file for the particular distribution. It is important that you get these files from the ultimate trusted source - the main ASF distribution site, rather than from a mirror. Then verify the signatures using ...

    % pgpk -a KEYS
% pgpv db-derby-X.Y.tar.gz.asc

or

% pgp -ka KEYS
% pgp db-derby-X.Y.tar.gz.asc

or

% gpg --import KEYS
% gpg --verify db-derby-X.Y.tar.gz.asc

    To verify the MD5 signature on the files, you need to use a program called md5 or md5sum, which is included in many unix distributions. It is also available as part of GNU Textutils. Windows users can get binary md5 programs from here, here, or here.

    We strongly recommend that you verify your downloads with both PGP and MD5.
