<h2>Version 1.3.171 (2013-03-17)</h2>
<ul><li>Security: the TCP server did not correctly restrict access rights of clients in some cases.
    This was specially a problem when using the flag "tcpAllowOthers".

49
    "ENGINE=InnoDB charset=UTF8" when creating a table.

50
</li><li>Issue 249: Improved compatibility with MySQL in the MySQL mode:
51 52 53
    now the methods DatabaseMetaData methods stores*Case*Identifiers return the same as MySQL
    when using the MySQL mode.
</li><li>Issue 434: H2 Console didn't work in the Chrome browser
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
54 55
    due to a wrong viewport argument.
</li><li>There was a possibility that the .lock.db file was not deleted
56
    when the database was closed, which could slow down opening the database.

57
</li><li>The SQL script generated by the "script" command contained
58
    inconsistent newlines on Windows.

59
</li><li>When using trace level 4 (SLF4J) in the server mode, a directory "trace.db"
60
    and an empty file was created on the client side. This is no longer made.
61 62
</li><li>Optimize IN(...) queries: there was a bug in version 1.3.170
    if the type of the left hand side didn't match the type of the right hand side. Fixed.
63
</li><li>Optimize IN(...) queries: there was a bug in version 1.3.170 for comparison of the type
64 65
    "X IN(NULL, NULL)". Fixed.
</li><li>Timestamps with timezone that were passed as a string were not always
66 67 68 69
    converted correctly. For example "2012-11-06T23:00:00.000Z" was converted to
    "2012-11-06" instead of to "2012-11-07" in the timezone CET.
    Thanks a lot to Steve Hruda for reporting the problem!
</li><li>New table engine "org.h2.mvstore.db.MVTableEngine"
70 71 72 73 74 75
    that internally uses the MVStore to persist data.
    To try it out, append ";DEFAULT_TABLE_ENGINE=org.h2.mvstore.db.MVTableEngine"
    to the database URL.
    This is still very experimental, and many features are not supported yet.
    The data is stored in a file with the suffix ".mv.db".
</li><li>New connection setting "DEFAULT_TABLE_ENGINE" to use a specific
76
    table engine if none is set explicitly. This is to simplify testing
77
    the MVStore table engine.
78
</li><li>MVStore: encrypted stores are now supported.
79
    Only standardized algorithms are used: PBKDF2, SHA-256, XTS-AES, AES-128.
80
</li><li>MVStore: improved API thanks to Simo Tripodi.
81
</li><li>MVStore: maps can now be renamed.
82
</li><li>MVStore: store the file header also at the end of each chunk,
83 84
    which results in a further reduced number of write operations.
</li><li>MVStore: a map implementation that supports concurrent operations.
85
</li><li>MVStore: unified exception handling; the version is included in the messages.
86
</li><li>MVStore: old data is now retained for 45 seconds by default.
87 88 89 90 91
</li><li>MVStore: compress is now disabled by default, and can be enabled on request.
</li><li>Support ALTER TABLE ADD ... AFTER. Patch from Andrew Gaul (argaul at gmail.com). Fixes issue 401.
</li><li>Improved OSGi support. H2 now registers itself as a DataSourceFactory service. Fixes issue 365.
</li><li>Add a DISK_SPACE_USED system function. Fixes issue 270.
</li><li>Fix a compile-time ambiguity when compiling with JDK7, thanks to a patch from Lukas Eder.
92
</li><li>Supporting dropping an index for Lucene full-text indexes.

94
    queries for in-memory databases using partial sort (by Sergi Vladykin).

105 106 107 108 109 110
<ul><li>Issue 407: The TriggerAdapter didn't work with CLOB and BLOB columns.
</li><li>PostgreSQL compatibility: support for data types BIGSERIAL and SERIAL
    as an alias for AUTO_INCREMENT.
</li><li>Issue 417: H2 Console: the web session timeout didn't work, resulting in a memory leak.
    This was only a problem if the H2 Console was run for a long time and many sessions were opened.
</li><li>Issue 412: Running the Server tool with just the option "-browser" will now log a warning.
111
</li><li>Issue 411: CloseWatcher registration was not concurrency-safe.

121
</li><li>Restore tool: the parameter "quiet" was not used and is now removed.
122
</li><li>Fix ConcurrentModificationException when creating tables and executing SHOW TABLES in parallel. Reported by Viktor Voytovych.

<h2>Version 1.3.169 (2012-09-09)</h2>
127 128
<ul><li>The default jar file is now compiled for Java 6.
</li><li>The new jar file will probably not end up in the central Maven repository
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
129
    in the next few weeks because Sonatype has disabled automatic synchronization
130
    from SourceForge (which they call 'legacy sync' now).
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
131
    It will probably take some time until this is sorted out. The H2 jar files are deployed to
132 133 134 135
    http://h2database.com/m2-repo/com/h2database/h2/maven-metadata.xml
    and http://hsql.sourceforge.net/m2-repo/com/h2database/h2/maven-metadata.xml
    as usual.
</li><li>A part of the documentation and the H2 Console has been changed to support the Apple retina display.
136 137 138
</li><li>The CreateCluster tool could not be used if the source database contained a CLOB or BLOB.
    The root cause was that the TCP server did not synchronize on the session, which caused a problem
    when using the exclusive mode.
139
</li><li>Statement.getQueryTimeout(): only the first call to this method will query the database.
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
140
    If the query timeout was changed in another way than calling setQueryTimeout,
141 142 143
    this method will always return the last value. This was changed because Hibernate
    calls getQueryTimeout() a lot.
</li><li>Issue 416: PreparedStatement.setNString throws AbstractMethodError.
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
144
    All implemented JDBC 4 methods that don't break compatibility with Java 5
145 146
    are now included in the default jar file.
</li><li>Issue 414: for some functions, the parameters were evaluated twice
147
    (for example "char(nextval(..))" ran "nextval(..)" twice).
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
148
</li><li>The ResultSetMetaData methods getSchemaName and getTableName
149
    could return null instead of "" (an empty string) as specified in the JDBC API.
150 151
</li><li>Added compatibility for "SET NAMES" query in MySQL compatibility mode.</li>

<h2>Version 1.3.168 (2012-07-13)</h2>
154 155
<ul><li>The message "Transaction log could not be truncated" was sometimes written
    to the .trace.db file even if there was no problem truncating the transaction log.
156
</li><li>New system property "h2.serializeJavaObject" (default: true) that allows to disable
157 158
    serializing Java objects, so that the objects compareTo and toString methods can be used.
</li><li>Dylan has translated the H2 Console tool to Korean. Thanks a lot!

159
</li><li>Executing the statement CREATE INDEX IF ALREADY EXISTS if the index already exists
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
160 161 162 163 164
    no longer fails for a read only database.
</li><li>MVCC: concurrently updating a row could result in the row to appear deleted in the second connection,
    if there are multiple unique indexes (or a primary key and at least one unique index).
    Thanks a lot to Teruo for the patch!
</li><li>Fulltext search: in-memory Lucene indexes are now supported.
165
</li><li>Fulltext search: UUID primary keys are now supported.
166
</li><li>Apache Tomcat 7.x will now longer log a warning when unloading the web application, if using a connection pool.
167
</li><li>H2 Console: support the Midori browser (for Debian / Raspberry Pi)
168
</li><li>When opening a remote session, don't open a temporary file if the trace level is set to zero
169
</li><li>Use HMAC for authenticating remote LOB id's, removing the need for maintaining a cache, and removing the limit
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
170
    on the number of LOBs per result set.
171 172
</li><li>H2 Console: HTML and XML documents can now be edited in an updatable result set.
    There is (limited) support for editing multi-line documents.

<h2>Version 1.3.167 (2012-05-23)</h2>
176 177
<ul><li>H2 Console: when editing a row, an empty varchar column was replaced with a single space.
</li><li>Lukas Eder has updated the jOOQ documentation.
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
178 179 180 181 182 183 184
</li><li>Some nested joins could not be executed, for example:
    select * from (select * from (select * from a) a right join b b) c;
</li><li>MS SQL Server compatibility: ISNULL is now an alias for IFNULL.
</li><li>Terrence Huang has completed the translation of the H2 Console tool to Chinese. Thanks a lot!
</li><li>Server mode: the number of CLOB / BLOB values that were cached on the server
    is now the maximum of: 5 times the SERVER_RESULT_SET_FETCH_SIZE (which is 100 by default),
    and SysProperties.SERVER_CACHED_OBJECTS.
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
185 186 187 188 189 190 191 192 193
</li><li>In the trace file, the query execution time was incorrect in some cases, specially
    for the statement SET TRACE_LEVEL_FILE 2.
</li><li>The feature LOG_SIZE_LIMIT that was introduced in version 1.3.165 did not always work
    correctly (specially with regards to multithreading) and has been removed.
    The message "Transaction log could not be truncated" is still written to the .trace.db file
    if required.
</li><li>Then reading from a resource using the prefix "classpath:", the ContextClassLoader
    is now used if the resource can't be read otherwise.
</li><li>DatabaseEventListener now calls setProgress whenever a statement starts and ends.
194
</li><li>DatabaseEventListener now calls setProgress periodically while a statement is running.
195
</li><li>The table INFORMATION_SCHEMA.FUNCTION_ALIASES now includes a column TYPE_NAME.
196
</li><li>Issue 378: when using views, the wrong values were bound to a parameter in some cases.

<h2>Version 1.3.166 (2012-04-08)</h2>

Thomas Mueller committed
205
<ul><li>Indexes on column that are larger than half the page size (wide indexes)
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
206 207 208
    could sometimes get corrupt, resulting in an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in PageBtree.getRow
    or "Row not found" in PageBtreeLeaf. Also, such indexes used too much disk space.
</li><li>Server mode: when retrieving more than 64 rows each containing a CLOB or BLOB,
209 210
    the error message "The object is already closed" was thrown.
</li><li>ConvertTraceFile: the time in the trace file is now parsed as a long.
Thomas Mueller's avatar

211 212
</li><li>Invalid connection settings are now detected.
</li><li>Issue 387: WHERE condition getting pushed into sub-query with LIMIT.

<h2>Version 1.3.165 (2012-03-18)</h2>
216 217
<ul><li>Better string representation for decimal values (for example 0.00000000 instead of 0E-26).
</li><li>Prepared statements could only be re-used if the same data types were used
218 219
    the second time they were executed.
</li><li>In error messages about referential constraint violation, the values are now included.
220
</li><li>SCRIPT and RUNSCRIPT: the password can now be set using a prepared statement.
221 222
    Previously, it was required to be a literal in the SQL statement.
</li><li>MySQL compatibility: SUBSTR with a negative start index now works like MySQL.
223
</li><li>When enabling autocommit, the transaction is now committed (as required by the JDBC API).
224
</li><li>The shell script <code>h2.sh</code> did not work with spaces in the path.
225 226 227
    It also works now with quoted spaces in the argument list.
    Thanks a lot to Shimizu Fumiyuki for the patch!
</li><li>If the transaction log could not be truncated because of an uncommitted transaction,
228 229 230 231 232 233
    now "Transaction log could not be truncated" is written to the .trace.db file.
    Before, the database file was growing and it was hard to find out what the root cause was.
    To avoid the database file from growing, a new feature to automatically rollback the oldest
    transaction is available now. To enable it, append ;LOG_SIZE_LIMIT=32 to the database URL
    (in that case, the oldest session is rolled back if the transaction log is 32 MB).
</li><li>ALTER TABLE ADD can now add more than one column at a time.
234
</li><li>Issue 380: ALTER TABLE ADD FOREIGN KEY with an explicit index didn't verify
235
    the index can be used, which would lead to a NullPointerException later on.
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
236
</li><li>Issue 384: the wrong kind of exception (NullPointerException) was thrown in a UNION query
237 238 239
    with an incorrect ORDER BY expression.
</li><li>Issue 362: support LIMIT in UPDATE statements.
</li><li>Browser: if no default browser is set, Google Chrome is now used if available.
240
    If not available, then Konqueror, Netscape, or Opera is used if available (as before).
241 242
</li><li>CSV tool: new feature to disable writing the column header
    (option writeColumnHeader).
243
</li><li>CSV tool: new feature to preserve the case sensitivity of column names
244 245
    (option caseSensitiveColumnNames).
</li><li>PostgreSQL compatibility: LOG(x) is base 10 in the PostgreSQL mode.

251
</li><li>Trying to convert a VARCHAR to UUID will now fail if the text contains
252 253
    a character that is not a hex digit, '-', or not a whitespace.
</li><li>TriggerAdapter: in "before" triggers, values can be changed using the ResultSet.updateX methods.
254 255 256 257
</li><li>Creating a table with column data type NULL now works (even if not very useful).
</li><li>ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN no longer copies the data for widening conversions
    (for example if only the precision was increased) unless necessary.
</li><li>Multi-threaded kernel: concurrently running an online backup

258
    and updating the database resulted in a broken (transactionally incorrect)

</li><li>The database file locking mechanism "FS" (;FILE_LOCK=FS)
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
266 267 268 269 270
    did not work on Linux since version 1.3.161.
</li><li>Sequences: the functions NEXTVAL and CURRVAL did not work as expected
    when using quoted, mixed case sequence names.
</li><li>The constructor for Csv objects is now public, and Csv.getInstance() is now deprecated.
</li><li>SimpleResultSet: updating a result set is now supported.

Thomas Mueller committed
276 277 278
    if later write operations succeeded. The same problem happened on other
    kinds of I/O exceptions (where one or some of the writes fail, but subsequent writes
    succeed). Now the file is closed on the first unsuccessful
279 280 281 282 283 284
    write operation, so that later requests fail consistently.
</li><li>DatabaseEventListener.diskSpaceIsLow() is no longer supported because
    it can't be guaranteed that it always works correctly.
</li><li>XMLTEXT now supports an optional parameter to escape newlines.
</li><li>XMLNODE now support an optional parameter to disable indentation.
</li><li>Csv.write now formats date, time, and timestamp values using java.sql.Date / Time / Timestamp.toString().

285 286 287 288 289 290
    Previously, ResultSet.getString() was used, which didn't work well for Oracle.
</li><li>The shell script <code>h2.sh</code> can now be run from within a different directory.
    Thanks a lot to Daniel Serodio for the patch!
</li><li>The page size of a persistent database can now be queries using:
    select * from information_schema.settings where name = 'info.PAGE_SIZE'
</li><li>In the server mode, BLOB and CLOB objects are no longer closed when the result set is closed

</li><li>The selectivity of LOB columns is no longer calculated

314 315 316 317
    because indexes on LOB columns are not supported
    (however this should have little effect on performance, as the selectivity
    is calculated from the hash code and not the data).
</li><li>New experimental system property "h2.modifyOnWrite":
318
    when enabled, the database file is only modified when writing to the database.

    When enabled, the serialized file lock is much faster for read-only operations.
320
</li><li>A NullPointerException could occur in TableView.isDeterministic for invalid views.

</li><li>Issue 180: when deserializing objects, the context class loader is used
322 323
    instead of the default class loader if the system property "h2.useThreadContextClassLoader" is set.
    Thanks a lot to Noah Fontes for the patch!

</li><li>When using the exclusive mode, LOB operations could cause the thread to block.
325 326
    This also affected the CreateCluster tool (when using BLOB or CLOB data).
</li><li>The optimization for "group by" was not working correctly if the group by column
327
    was aliased in the select list.
