dbdeploy 3.0 milestone 3 released
Graham Tackley
Please accept my apologies for the prolonged gap in dbdeploy releases
since milestone 2; this was caused by a combination of the arrival of
my now one year old son and mostly moving to no-sql style datastores
in my day job. My intention is to now resume normal service.
This release contains the following changes:
* issue 21: explicit specification of character encoding via encoding=
parameter. Note that this is a potential *breaking change* as dbdeploy
now defaults to UTF-8 encoding instead of the java platform default.
(with thanks to Kiril Raychev)
* issue 34: implement a maven plugin. See
http://code.google.com/p/dbdeploy/wiki/UsingTheMavenPlugin for more
information. (with thanks to Jim Bogan and abcoyle)
* issue 36: script number > 999 fails due to command in number for
changelog insert statement. (with thanks to the many contributors who
pointed out the fix to this schoolboy error :)
* issue 43: invalid procedures and functions created in oracle due to
windows delimiter / oracle driver issues (with thanks to
trevor.urquhart and others on the mailing list)
* issue 47: stream not closed in script mode (with thanks to Robert Longson)
* issue 51: dbdeploy-core.jar should be included in distribution.zip
* issue 52: improve error reporting when a change script fails
* issue 53: avoid need to include password on command line
* issue 54: support change numbers as long rather than int (with
thanks to Jim Bogan)
* issue 55: trimming change scripts can make e.g. views and SPs
unreadable in vendor supplied tools (with thanks to Jim Bogan)
See http://code.google.com/p/dbdeploy/issues/list?can=1&q=label%3AMilestone-Release3.0M3
for the full list of resolved issues.
You can download this release from
http://code.google.com/p/dbdeploy/downloads/list. In addition, for the
first time, this release of dbdeploy is hosted on maven central (see
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/dbdeploy/).
Barring any showstoppers, my plan is to fix the remaining couple of
minor issues labelled for Release 3.0 and release a final 3.0 release
in the next couple of weeks. Please try this milestone out and
feedback either in the issue tracker
(http://code.google.com/p/dbdeploy/issues/list) or on the mailing list
(http://groups.google.com/group/db-deploy-users).
Thanks for all of your support, comments and contributions.
