Dear MonetDB developer and users,

For convenience of both developers and users as well as to comply even more
with open source standards, we now set/use the following defaults for the
configure options
     --enable-strict, --enable-assert, --enable-debug, --enable-optimize

(Unless specified differently, the same defaults are used for both the
 "Stable" release branches and the "Current" development trunk.)


When compiling from CVS sources
(as mainly done by developers):
        strict=yes  assert=yes  debug=yes  optimize=no (*)

When compiling from packaged/distributed sources (i.e., tarballs)
(as mainly done by users):
        strict=no   assert=no   debug=no   optimize=no (*)

For building binary distributions (RPMs, MSIs):
        strict=no   assert=no   debug=no   optimize=yes

With nightly testing for the "Stable" release branches:
        strict=yes  assert=no   debug=no   optimize=yes

With nightly testing for the "Current" development trunk:
        strict=yes  assert=yes  debug=no   optimize=yes


(*)
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Since "--enable-optimize=yes" is no longer the default for any case except
binary packages, it is *strongly recommended* to (re)compile everything from
scratch, *explicitly configured* with 
        "--enable-debug=no --enable-optimize=yes",
in case you want/need to run any performance experiments with MonetDB!


(Please note:
 "--enable-X=yes" is equivalent to "--enable-X", and
 "--enable-X=no"  is equivalent to "--disable-X".)


Don't hesitate to ask in case you have any questions!

Enjoy!

Stefan
