Sequences: the functions NEXTVAL and CURRVAL did not work as expected when using quoted, mixed case sequence names.

MathUtils.getSecureRandom could log a warning to System.err in case the /dev/random is very slow, and the System.getProperties().toString() returned a string larger than 64 KB. 

On out of disk space, the database could get corrupt sometimes, if later write operations succeeded. Now the file is closed on the first unsuccessful write operation, so that later requests fail consistently. DatabaseEventListener.diskSpaceIsLow() is no longer supported because it can't be guaranteed that it always works correctly.

XMLTEXT now supports an optional parameter to escape newlines. XMLNODE now support an optional parameter to disable indentation.

In the server mode, BLOB and CLOB objects are no longer closed when the result set is closed (as required by the JDBC spec).

Csv.write now formats date, time, and timestamp values using java.sql.Date / Time / Timestamp.toString(). Previously, ResultSet.getString() was used, which didn't work well for Oracle.

The page size of a persistent database can now be queries using: select * from information_schema.settings where name = 'info.PAGE_SIZE'

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!

The following system properties are no longer supported:, h2.allowBigDecimalExtensions, h2.emptyPassword, h2.minColumnNameMap, h2.returnLobObjects, h2.webMaxValueLength.

It is now possible to control the port that the server uses by passing in an AUTO_SERVER_PORT parameter.
