Issues
Compared with the previous release (10.12.1.1), Derby release 10.13.1.1 introduces the following new features and incompatibilities. These merit your special attention.
Note for DERBY-6852
Summary of Change
When a Derby SEQUENCE cycles, it now cycles to its minimum/maximum value rather than to its start value.
Symptoms Seen by Applications Affected by Change
In previous releases, when a Derby SEQUENCE cycled, it cycled to its start value. But now it cycles to its maximum or minimum value:
- If the SEQUENCE has a positive increment, it cycles to its minimum value.
- If the SEQUENCE has a negative increment, it cycles to its maximum value.
Rationale for Change
The new behaviour remains compliant with the SQL standard, but we believe it is more useful.
Note that the new behavior is also used for the new CYCLE behavior of IDENTITY columns.
Build Environment
Derby release 10.13.1.1 was built using the following environment:
- Branch - Source code came from the 10.13 branch.
- Machine - Linux Fedora22 4.4.14.fc22.x86_64
- Ant - Apache Ant(TM) version 1.9.5 compiled on May 31 2015
- Compiler - All classes were compiled by OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_91-b14)
Verifying Releases
It is essential that you verify the integrity of the downloaded files using the PGP and MD5 signatures. MD5 verification ensures the file was not corrupted during the download process. PGP verification ensures that the file came from a certain person.
The PGP signatures can be verified using PGP or GPG. First download the Apache Derby KEYS as well as the asc signature file for the particular distribution. It is important that you get these files from the ultimate trusted source - the main ASF distribution site, rather than from a mirror. Then verify the signatures using ...
% pgpk -a KEYS % pgpv db-derby-X.Y.tar.gz.asc or % pgp -ka KEYS % pgp db-derby-X.Y.tar.gz.asc or % gpg --import KEYS % gpg --verify db-derby-X.Y.tar.gz.asc
To verify the MD5 signature on the files, you need to use a program called md5 or md5sum, which is included in many unix distributions. It is also available as part of GNU Textutils. Windows users can get binary md5 programs from here, here, or here.
We strongly recommend that you verify your downloads with both PGP and MD5.
