@changelog_1050_li
The plan is to dual-license H2. The additional license is EPL (Eclipse Public License). The current license (MPL, Mozilla Public License) will stay.

@changelog_1056_li
@changelog_1060_li
The jar file is now about 10% smaller because the variable debugging info is no longer included. The source file and line number debugging info is still included. If required, the jar file size of the full version can be further reduced to about 720 KB using 'build jarSmall' or even more by removing unneeded components.
@changelog_1057_li
@changelog_1061_li
Added shell scripts run.sh and build.sh. chmod +x is required, but otherwise it should work. Feedback or improvements are welcome!

changelog_1056_li=The jar file is now about 10% smaller because the variable debugging info is no longer included. The source file and line number debugging info is still included. If required, the jar file size of the full version can be further reduced to about 720 KB using 'build jarSmall' or even more by removing unneeded components.
changelog_1057_li=Added shell scripts run.sh and build.sh. chmod +x is required, but otherwise it should work. Feedback or improvements are welcome\!

changelog_1273_li=System.exit is no longer called by the WebServer, the Console and the Server tool (except to set the exit code if required). This is important when using OSGi.
changelog_1274_li=Optimization for independent subqueries. For example, this query can now an index\:SELECT * FROM TEST WHERE ID \=(SELECT MAX(ID) FROM TEST) This can be disabled by setting the system property h2.optimizeSubqueryCache to false.
changelog_1275_li=The explain plan now says\:/* direct lookup query */ if the query can be processed directly without reading rows, for example when using MIN(indexed column), MAX(indexed column), or COUNT(*).
changelog_1276_li=When using IFNULL, NULLIF, COALESCE, LEAST, or GREATEST, and the first parameter was ?, an exception was thrown. Now the highest data type of all parameters is used.

changelog_1282_li=After deleting data, empty space in the database files was not efficiently reused (but it was reused when opening the database). This has been fixed.
changelog_1283_li=About 230 bytes per database was leaked. This is a problem for applications opening and closing many thousand databases. The main problem\:a shutdown hook was added but never removed. Fixed. In JDK 1.4, there is <a href\="http\://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id\=4197876">an additionally problem</a> .

changelog_1289_li=New method DatabaseEventListener.opened that is called just after opening a database.
changelog_1290_li=When using the Console with Internet Explorer 6.0 or 7.0, a Javascript error was thrown after clearing the query.
changelog_1291_li=A database can now be opened even if class of a user defined function is not in the classpath. Trying to call the function will throws an exception.
changelog_1292_li=User defined functions and constants may not overload built-in functions and constants. This didn't work before, but now trying to create such an object will fail.
changelog_1293_li=Improved MultiDimension tool (for spatial queries)\:in the last few releases the tool was actually slower than using a regular query (because index lookup got faster, and because the tool didn't support prepared statements) Now the tool generates prepared statements, and the performance is better again (about 5 times faster for a reasonable amount of data).
changelog_1294_li=Adding a foreign key or when re-enabling referential integrity for a table failed when checking was enabled and the reference contained NULL.
changelog_1295_li=For PgServer, character encoding other than UTF-8 did not work correctly. Fixed.

changelog_1298_li=New experimental feature MVCC (multi version concurrency control). Can be set as a option when opening the database (jdbc\:h2\:~/test;MVCC\=TRUE) or as a system property (-Dh2.mvcc\=true). This is work-in-progress, use it at your own risk. Feedback is welcome.
changelog_1299_li=The version number is now major.minor.micro where micro is the build number. Not all version are public, so there may be gaps in the micro. The minor changes when there is a file format change.
changelog_1300_li=The backup tool (org.h2.tools.Backup) did not work. The restore tool did not work when the -db parameter was used. Fixed. The documentation of the backup tool has been changed\:only one database may be backed up at any time.

changelog_1050_li=The plan is to dual-license H2. The additional license is EPL (Eclipse Public License). The current license (MPL, Mozilla Public License) will stay. Current users are not affected because they can keep MPL. EPL is very similar to MPL, the only bigger difference is related to patents (EPL is a bit more business friendly in this regard). See also http\://opensource.org/licenses/eclipse-1.0.php, http\://www.eclipse.org/legal/eplfaq.php (FAQ), http\://blogs.zdnet.com/Burnette/?p\=131

Future plan\:support creating custom h2 distributions (for embedded use). Maybe create a new project 'Jant' or 'Javen' if other people are interested.
changelog_1060_li=The jar file is now about 10% smaller because the variable debugging info is no longer included. The source file and line number debugging info is still included. If required, the jar file size of the full version can be further reduced to about 720 KB using 'build jarSmall' or even more by removing unneeded components.
changelog_1061_li=Added shell scripts run.sh and build.sh. chmod +x is required, but otherwise it should work. Feedback or improvements are welcome\!

changelog_1141_li=The exception 'Value too long for column' now includes the data.
changelog_1142_li=The table name was missing in the documentation of CREATE INDEX.
changelog_1143_li=Better support for IKVM (www.ikvm.net)\:the H2 Console now opens a browser window.
changelog_1144_li=The cache size was not correctly calculated for tables with large objects (specially if compression is used). This could lead to out-of-memory exceptions.
changelog_1145_li=The exception "Hexadecimal string contains non-hex character" was not always thrown when it should have been. Fixed.
changelog_1146_li=The H2 Console now provides a link to the documentation when an error occurs (H2 databases only so far).
changelog_1147_li=The acting as PostgreSQL server, when a base directory was set, and the H2 Console was started as well, the base directory was applied twice.
changelog_1148_li=Calling EXTRACT(HOUR FROM ...) or EXTRACT(HH FROM ...) returned the wrong values (0 to 11 instead of 0 to 23). All other tested databases return values from 0 to 23. Please check if your application relies on the old behavior before upgrading.
changelog_1149_li=For compatibility with other databases the column default (COLUMN_DEF) for columns without default is now null (it was an empty string).
changelog_1150_li=Statements that contain very large subqueries (where the subquery result does not fit in memory) are now faster.
