text of release announcement for 10.7.1.1
Here's what I have so far. Please help me improve this. I plan to
announce the release tomorrow (Wednesday, December 15).
Thanks,
-Rick
--------------------------------
The Apache Derby project is pleased to announce feature release 10.7.1.1.
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 10.7.1.1 can be obtained from the Derby download site:
http://db.apache.org/derby/derby_downloads.html.
Derby 10.7.1.1 contains the following new features:
* Definer's rights - Procedures and functions can now run with
their creators' privileges, rather than with the current user's permissions.
* BOOLEAN data type - Boolean is now a legal data type for columns,
routine arguments, and function return values.
* Table truncation - A new TRUNCATE TABLE command drops all rows in
a table quickly.
* Query plan browsing - A new PlanExporter tool helps developers
visualize query plans better.
* Unicode database names - Remote clients can now use database
names which include Unicode characters outside the ASCII codeset.
In addition, Derby 10.7.1.1 contains many bug and documentation fixes.
Please try out this new release.

Hi Nirmal,
Knut has written a nice, concise blog on 10.7.1.1. He cites some
PlanExporter output which punches up the visual excitement of the
release: http://blogs.sun.com/kah/entry/what_s_new_in_derby
Thanks,

Hi Rick,
Not sure whether there's a formal structure for writing this. If I am a user
who reads this release announcement I would love to
see some screen shots of new features :). (Not sure about other new features
but to PlanExporter we can add a nice screen shot.)
Just a thought!
Thanks for your efforts on this release!!

Wording here: it may be interpreted as applying *only* to remote
clients. Suggest: "Now, also remote clients can use ....." or some such.

I think it would be best to stick to a single concept name here, so I
suggest replacing "permissions" with "privileges" above.
