NodeM - A Node.js binding and driver for the YottaDB/GT.M language and database, version 0.10.1 has been released!

[David Wicksell]

Fourth Watch Software is pleased to announce the release of version 0.10.1 of Nodem. This version is fully re-factored with a view towards future maintenance and feature upgrades. Here is a quick list of some of the new features and improvements:

- It adds support for local symbol table management via use of a 'local' property where you would normally use a 'global' property.

- The character set encoding now defaults to UTF-8, instead of the single byte M encoding of previous versions, and it is fully decoupled from the encoding configuration of the YottaDB or GT.M database environment.

- It also adds support for the previousNode API for YottaDB versions r1.10 and newer.

- The previous 8 KiB limit on combined argument lengths to the function and procedure APIs have been increased to nearly 1 MiB.

- There is a new help menu built-in to Nodem, via use of the help method, which provides call information for each Nodem API.

- There is also added support for more configuration options in the open API, and many other improvements.

Stay tuned for the next couple of releases, which will add full support for asynchronous APIs, as well as a faster implementation of the core database APIs, via the new YottaDB C API.
