The database now tries to detect if the classloader or virtual machine has almost shut down by checking if static final variables are set to null.
File systems with a maximum file size (for example FAT) are now supported using the file prefix 'split:'. In this case the files are split in parts of 1 GB. Example URL: jdbc:h2:split:~/db/test. If you want to split into parts of 1 MB, use jdbc:h2:split:20:~/db/test (the part size is 1 << x, the default is 30 meaning 1 GB).

@changelog_1200_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).

@changelog_1209_li
Started to write a Ant replacement ('JAnt') that uses pure Java build definitions. Advantages: ability to debug the build, extensible, flexible, no XML, a bit faster. Future plan: support creating custom h2 distributions (for embedded use). Maybe create a new project 'Jant' or 'Javen' if other people are interested.
@changelog_1209_li
@changelog_1210_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_1210_li
@changelog_1211_li
Added shell scripts run.sh and build.sh. chmod +x is required, but otherwise it should work. Feedback or improvements are welcome!

changelog_1034_li=The error messages have been translated to Spanish by Dario V. Fassi. Thanks a lot\!
changelog_1035_li=Linked tables\:the automatic connection sharing didn't work. Actually the system property h2.shareLinkedConnections was working in the opposite direction\:it was disabled when set to true. Now it works as expected.
changelog_1036_li=Opening large database is now faster.
changelog_1037_li=New system property h2.socketConnectTimeout, the timeout in milliseconds to connect to a server. The default is 2000 (2 seconds).

changelog_1067_li=The h2console.war can now be built using the Java build.
changelog_1068_li=By default, databases are shared in the same process. For read-only databases this causes unnecessary synchronization, but safes memory. If you want that each connection opens its own database, append ;OPEN_NEW\=TRUE to the database URL.
changelog_1069_li=New auto-reconnect feature will cause the JDBC driver to reconnect to the database if the connection is lost. To enable, append ;AUTO_RECONNECT\=TRUE to the database URL. This is specially helpful when using AUTO_SERVER. AUTO_SERVER automatically uses auto-reconnect.
changelog_1070_li=CreateCluster\:the property 'serverlist' is now called 'serverList'.
changelog_1071_li=The ConvertTraceFile tool could not parse some files because the trace mechanism did not encode prepared statement parameters.

changelog_1075_li=Multiple processes can now access the same database without having to explicitly start the server. To do that, append ;AUTO_SERVER\=TRUE to the database URL. In this case, the server is started automatically if the connection is in embedded mode, and the server mode is used if a server is running. If the process that opened the first connection is closed, the other client need to reconnect (there is no automatic re-connect so far). Remote connections are allowed, but only to this database.
changelog_1076_li=The server tool now displays the correct IP address if networked.
changelog_1077_li=Can now start a TCP server with port 0 (automatically select a port).
changelog_1078_li=Result sets with just a unique index can now be updated (previously a primary key was required).

changelog_1093_li=Multi-Version Concurrency (MVCC) may no longer be used when using the multi-threaded kernel feature (MULTI_THREADED). An exception is thrown when trying to connect with both settings. Additional synchronization is required before those features can be used together.
changelog_1094_li=The data type JAVA_OBJECT could not be used in updatable result sets.
changelog_1095_li=The system property h2.optimizeInJoin did not work correctly.

changelog_1198_h2=Version 1.0.70 (2008-04-20)
changelog_1199_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
changelog_1200_li=Multi version concurrency (MVCC)\:when a row was updated, and the updated column was not indexed, this update was visible sometimes for other sessions even if it was not committed.

Future plan\:support creating custom h2 distributions (for embedded use). Maybe create a new project 'Jant' or 'Javen' if other people are interested.
changelog_1209_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_1210_li=Added shell scripts run.sh and build.sh. chmod +x is required, but otherwise it should work. Feedback or improvements are welcome\!

changelog_1231_li=Fulltext search (native implementation)\:The words table is no longer an in-memory table because this caused memory problems in some cases.
changelog_1232_li=It was possible to create a role with the name as an existing user (but not vice versa). This is not allowed any more.
changelog_1233_li=The recovery tool didn't work correctly for tables without rows.
changelog_1234_li=For years below 1, the YEAR method didn't return the correct value, and the conversion from date and timestamp to varchar was incorrect.
changelog_1235_li=CSVWRITE caused a NullPointerException when not specifying a nullString.
changelog_1236_li=When a log file switch occurred just after a truncate table or drop table statement, the database could not be started normally (RECOVER\=1 was required). Fixed.
changelog_1237_li=When a log file switch occurred in the middle of a sequence flush (sequences are only flushed every 32 values by default), the sequence value was lost. Fixed.

changelog_1243_li=ALTER SEQUENCE and ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN RESTART can now be used inside a transaction.
changelog_1244_li=New system property h2.aliasColumnName. When enabled, aliased columns (as in SELECT ID AS I FROM TEST) return the real table and column name in ResultSetMetaData.getTableName() and getColumnName(). This is disabled by default for compatibility with other databases (HSQLDB, Apache Derby, PostgreSQL, some version of MySQL). In version 1.1 this setting will be enabled.
changelog_1245_li=When using encrypted databases, and using the wrong file password, the log file was renamed if the database was not already open. Fixed.
changelog_1246_li=Improved performance when using lob files in directories (however this is still disabled by default)

changelog_1248_li=Fulltext search\:new method SEARCH_DATA that returns the column names and primary keys as arrays.
changelog_1249_li=New experimental optimization for GROUP BY queries if an index can be used that matches the group by columns. To enable this optimization, set the system property h2.optimizeGroupSorted to true.
changelog_1250_li=When using multi-version concurrency (MVCC\=TRUE), duplicate rows could appear in the result set when running queries with uncommitted changes in the same session.
changelog_1251_li=H2 Console\:remote connections were very slow because getHostName/getRemoteHost was used. Fixed (now using getHostAddress/getRemoteAddr.
changelog_1252_li=H2 Console\:on Linux, Firefox, Konqueror, or Opera (in this order) are now started if available. This has been tested on Ubuntu.
changelog_1253_li=H2 Console\:the start window works better with IKVM
changelog_1254_li=H2 Console\:improved compatibility with Safari (Safari requires keep-alive)
changelog_1255_li=Random\:the process didn't stop if generating the random seed using the standard way (SecureRandom.generateSeed) was very slow. Now using a daemon thread to avoid this problem.

Example URL\:jdbc\:h2\:split\:~/db/test. If you want to split into parts of 1 MB, use jdbc\:h2\:split\:20\:~/db/test (the part size is 1 << x, the default is 30 meaning 1 GB).
changelog_1003_li=The database now tries to detect if the classloader or virtual machine has almost shut down by checking if static final variables are set to null. This should help reduce exceptions when stopping the web application.
changelog_1004_li=Compatibility for MS SQL Server DATEDIFF(YYYY, .., ..)
changelog_1005_li=ResultSet.getObject for CLOB or BLOB will return a java.sql.Clob / java.sql.Blob object instead of a java.io.Reader / java.io.InputStream as in version 1.0. This behavior can be changed using the system property h2.returnLobObjects (true by default for version 1.1).

changelog_1076_li=Multiple processes can now access the same database without having to explicitly start the server. To do that, append ;AUTO_SERVER\=TRUE to the database URL. In this case, the server is started automatically if the connection is in embedded mode, and the server mode is used if a server is running. If the process that opened the first connection is closed, the other client need to reconnect (there is no automatic re-connect so far). Remote connections are allowed, but only to this database.

changelog_1189_li=When setting BLOB or CLOB values larger than 65 KB using a remote connection, temporary files were kept on the client longer than required (until the connection was closed or the object is garbage collected). Now they are removed as soon as the PreparedStatement is closed, or when the value is overwritten.

changelog_1200_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_1210_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_1211_li=Added shell scripts run.sh and build.sh. chmod +x is required, but otherwise it should work. Feedback or improvements are welcome\!

changelog_1234_li=The recovery tool didn't work correctly for tables without rows.
changelog_1235_li=For years below 1, the YEAR method didn't return the correct value, and the conversion from date and timestamp to varchar was incorrect.
changelog_1236_li=CSVWRITE caused a NullPointerException when not specifying a nullString.
changelog_1237_li=When a log file switch occurred just after a truncate table or drop table statement, the database could not be started normally (RECOVER\=1 was required). Fixed.
