We are pleased to announce the new Sedna release!
Sedna 3.4 binaries and sources are immediately available at:
http://modis.ispras.ru/sedna/download or http://sourceforge.net/projects/
sedna/files .
*
Important Note for Drivers Developers:*
Please check that your drivers are compatible with Sedna 3.4.
Sedna C library (libsedna) naming scheme has changed on Unix-like systems.
libsedna.a is not built with PIC anymore. All high level drivers which
depend on libsedna most likely should be linked with libsedna_pic.a (static
with PIC) or libsedna.so (dynamic) instead of libsedna.a (static without
PIC).
*
Significant Changes and New Features:
*
- 64-bit native support: 64-bit binaries are now available for all
supported platforms.
- CMake cross-platform build system is now used to build Sedna on all
supported platforms (e.g. Visual Studio project can be generated on
Windows). See Sedna Installation Guide [1] for details on configuration and
installation process.
- libedit support on FreeBSD: Sedna Terminal (se_term) on FreeBSD is now
enhanced with auto-completion, history and advanced editing facilities.
- Storage Manager IO optimization: significant increase of bulk load
speed and other IO bound updates and queries.
- Internal data representation optimization: database now takes less hard
disk space.
- Reduced log mode (LOG_LESS_MODE) behaviour changed [2]: transaction
enters exclusive mode (there are no other concurrent transactions possible)
when log-less mode is turned on.
- Sedna C library naming scheme changed on Unix-like platforms. There are
three versions of library are available now: libsedna.so (dynamic),
libsedna.a (static), libsedna_pic.a (static with PIC enabled).
- System document $modules returned [3]. It can be used to list names of
all available modules.
- Linux kernel 2.4 support dropped.
- Bug fixes, small improvements and optimizations.
- The official Sedna source code repository was migrated from darcs to
Git:
- use gitweb (http://modis.ispras.ru/gitweb) to track changes;
- use "git clone git://modis.ispras.ru/sedna" command to obtain a copy
of the official repository.
