[ANNOUNCE] Apache Derby 10.8.1.2 released

[Rick Hillegas <ri...@oracle.com>]

The Apache Derby project is pleased to announce feature release 10.8.1.2.

Apache Derby is a subproject of the Apache DB project. Derby is a pure 
Java relational database engine which conforms to the ISO/ANSI SQL and 
JDBC standards. Derby aims to be easy for developers and end-users to 
work with.

Derby 10.8.1.2 can be obtained from the Derby download site:

    http://db.apache.org/derby/derby_downloads.html.


Derby 10.8.1.2 contains the following new features:

     * JDBC 4.1 - Derby's JDBC drivers support the new Java 7 methods on 
the java.sql and javax.sql  interfaces.
     * Automatic calculation of index statistics - Derby automatically 
refreshes statistics to help it pick better query plans.
     * Improved interrupt handling - Interrupting connection threads no 
longer crashes the Derby engine.
     * MAX optimization - On indexed tables, MAX queries run faster in 
more cases.
     * XML operator portability - The xmlparse and xmlserialize 
operators work out-of-the-box on more platforms.

In addition, Derby 10.8.1.2 contains many bug and documentation fixes.

Please try out this new release.

Pay attention to Note 4965 about change to conversion from BOOLEAN to CHAR 
!!

If you use setBoolean() or setObject() with a CHAR(1) datatype you must 
change your code and use setInt() or Derby will try to store "true" or 
"false" strings.

I never undertsand why we need to accept "breaking code" releases...

It should have been possible to keep compatibility with an extra parameter 
for those of us who care more about stability than "JDBC compliance".

May be we could conclude that setBoolean is finally useless...
