<ul><li>Closing the file lock will now wait until the background thread is stopped.
</li><li>In version 1.3.172, a performance regression was introduced when
    fixing the issue 389 (when there is a multi-column primary key, 
    H2 does not seem to always pick the right index). This was related to
    boosting an index that matches the "order by" column list
    (the wrong index was used in some cases).
</li><li>Improved spatial index and data type.

Thomas Mueller committed
28
</li><li>Issue 467: OSGi Class Loader (ability to create reference to class
29
    in other ClassLoader, for example in another OSGi bundle).
30 31
</li><li>Queries "group by" that contain a subquery with an aggregate function
    returned the wrong result in some cases.
32
</li><li>Fix bug in unique and non-unique hash indexes which manifested as incorrect results
33 34
    when the search key was a different cardinal type from the table index key.
    e.g. where the one was INT and the other was LONG
35
</li><li>Bug: Changes to the database structure did not result
36
    in the Session query cache being invalidated.
37 38
</li><li>New feature from Davide Cavestro - allow using custom Java object serialization
    engines on a per-DB basis.
39 40
</li><li>When running the Recover tool on very large (>6G) databases, some statistics were reported with
    negative numbers.
41 42
</li><li>Add an UNDO_LOG_SIZE column to the SESSIONS metadata table, to allow detecting when rogue
    sessions are creating large transactions.
43
</li><li>Some small fixes to the GEOMETRY support, patches by Nicolas Fortin.

<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".

135 136 137
    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 committed
138 139
    due to a wrong viewport argument.
</li><li>There was a possibility that the .lock.db file was not deleted
140
    when the database was closed, which could slow down opening the database.

141
</li><li>The SQL script generated by the "script" command contained
142
    inconsistent newlines on Windows.

Thomas Mueller committed
143
</li><li>When using trace level 4 (SLF4J) in the server mode, a directory "trace.db"
144
    and an empty file was created on the client side. This is no longer made.
145 146
</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.
147
</li><li>Optimize IN(...) queries: there was a bug in version 1.3.170 for comparison of the type
148 149
    "X IN(NULL, NULL)". Fixed.
</li><li>Timestamps with timezone that were passed as a string were not always
150 151 152 153
    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"
154 155 156 157 158 159
    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
160
    table engine if none is set explicitly. This is to simplify testing
161
    the MVStore table engine.
162
</li><li>MVStore: encrypted stores are now supported.
163
    Only standardized algorithms are used: PBKDF2, SHA-256, XTS-AES, AES-128.
164
</li><li>MVStore: improved API thanks to Simo Tripodi.
165
</li><li>MVStore: maps can now be renamed.
166
</li><li>MVStore: store the file header also at the end of each chunk,
167 168
    which results in a further reduced number of write operations.
</li><li>MVStore: a map implementation that supports concurrent operations.
169
</li><li>MVStore: unified exception handling; the version is included in the messages.
170
</li><li>MVStore: old data is now retained for 45 seconds by default.
171 172 173 174 175
</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.
176
</li><li>Supporting dropping an index for Lucene full-text indexes.

178
    queries for in-memory databases using partial sort (by Sergi Vladykin).
179

180
    suggestion from Mark Addleman.

Thomas Mueller committed
181 182 183 184
</li><li>Issue 438: JdbcDatabaseMetaData.getSchemas() is no longer supported as of 1.3.169.

</li><li>Issue 404: SHOW COLUMNS FROM tableName does not work with ALLOW_LITERALS=NUMBERS.
</li><li>Throw an explicit error to make it clear we don't support the TRIGGER combination of SELECT and FOR EACH ROW.
185

189 190 191 192 193 194
<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.
195
</li><li>Issue 411: CloseWatcher registration was not concurrency-safe.

<h2>Version 1.3.169 (2012-09-09)</h2>
211 212
<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
213
    in the next few weeks because Sonatype has disabled automatic synchronization
214
    from SourceForge (which they call 'legacy sync' now).

Thomas Mueller committed
215
    It will probably take some time until this is sorted out. The H2 jar files are deployed to
216 217 218 219
    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.
220 221 222
</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.
223
</li><li>Statement.getQueryTimeout(): only the first call to this method will query the database.
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
224
    If the query timeout was changed in another way than calling setQueryTimeout,
225 226 227
    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
228
    All implemented JDBC 4 methods that don't break compatibility with Java 5
229 230
    are now included in the default jar file.
</li><li>Issue 414: for some functions, the parameters were evaluated twice
231
    (for example "char(nextval(..))" ran "nextval(..)" twice).
Thomas Mueller's avatar
Thomas Mueller committed
232
</li><li>The ResultSetMetaData methods getSchemaName and getTableName
233
    could return null instead of "" (an empty string) as specified in the JDBC API.
234 235
</li><li>Added compatibility for "SET NAMES" query in MySQL compatibility mode.</li>

<h2>Version 1.3.168 (2012-07-13)</h2>
238 239
<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.
240
</li><li>New system property "h2.serializeJavaObject" (default: true) that allows to disable
241 242
    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!

Thomas Mueller committed
244 245 246 247 248
    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.
249
</li><li>Fulltext search: UUID primary keys are now supported.
250
</li><li>Apache Tomcat 7.x will now longer log a warning when unloading the web application, if using a connection pool.
251
</li><li>H2 Console: support the Midori browser (for Debian / Raspberry Pi)
252
</li><li>When opening a remote session, don't open a temporary file if the trace level is set to zero
253
</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
254
    on the number of LOBs per result set.
255 256
</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.

</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 committed
269 270 271 272 273 274 275 276 277
</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.
278
</li><li>DatabaseEventListener now calls setProgress periodically while a statement is running.
279
</li><li>The table INFORMATION_SCHEMA.FUNCTION_ALIASES now includes a column TYPE_NAME.
280

    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,
293 294
    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.

<h2>Version 1.3.165 (2012-03-18)</h2>
300 301
<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
302 303
    the second time they were executed.
</li><li>In error messages about referential constraint violation, the values are now included.
304
</li><li>SCRIPT and RUNSCRIPT: the password can now be set using a prepared statement.
305 306
    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.
307
</li><li>When enabling autocommit, the transaction is now committed (as required by the JDBC API).
308
</li><li>The shell script <code>h2.sh</code> did not work with spaces in the path.
309 310 311
    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,
312 313 314 315 316 317
    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.
318
</li><li>Issue 380: ALTER TABLE ADD FOREIGN KEY with an explicit index didn't verify
319
    the index can be used, which would lead to a NullPointerException later on.

</li><li>Issue 384: the wrong kind of exception (NullPointerException) was thrown in a UNION query
321 322 323
    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.
324
    If not available, then Konqueror, Netscape, or Opera is used if available (as before).
325 326
</li><li>CSV tool: new feature to disable writing the column header
    (option writeColumnHeader).
327
</li><li>CSV tool: new feature to preserve the case sensitivity of column names
328 329
    (option caseSensitiveColumnNames).
</li><li>PostgreSQL compatibility: LOG(x) is base 10 in the PostgreSQL mode.
