What's new in Qore 0.8.11

Jun 21, 2014
  • New Features:
  • added the Qore::AFMap and Qore::AFStrMap constants
  • WebUtil updates:
  • added logic to the default file serving code to determine if the file is a binary or text file from the MIME type
  • HTTPClient::sendWithSendCallback() and HTTPClient::sendWithSendCallback() updated such that if a response is received while the chunked send operation is still in progress, an error is assumed, the send operation is aborted, and the response header is read immediately
  • Bug Fixes:
  • fixed a bug in the DBI layer where calling SQLStatement::describe() would crash when called with an older module that did not implement this method
  • other fixes in the Util module (in addition to the Windows-specific fixes above):
  • fixed parse_to_qore_value() with hashes with a comma in the first key name
  • read from /dev/urandom instead of /dev/random since reads from the latter can block for long periods to fill the entropy pool
  • do not start signal thread after a fork() if signal handling is enabled, pthread_create() is not async-signal safe (on FreeBSD at least this reliably causes segfaults)

New in Qore 0.8.10 (May 31, 2014)

  • better HTTP support; support for chunked sends and receives for streaming data over HTTP and other improvements:
  • HTTPClient::sendWithSendCallback()
  • HTTPClient::sendWithRecvCallback()
  • HTTPClient::sendWithCallbacks()
  • HTTPClient::setPersistent()
  • Socket::readHTTPChunkedBodyBinaryWithCallback()
  • Socket::readHTTPChunkedBodyWithCallback()
  • Socket::sendHTTPMessageWithCallback()
  • Socket::sendHTTPResponseWithCallback()
  • Socket::pendingHttpChunkedBody()
  • added a minimum body size threshold for compression to HttpServer
  • RestClient module updates:
  • configurable content encoding for send request message bodies is now supported (ie optional compression)
  • new user modules:
  • Schema: for DB-independent schema management
  • new public C++ socket performance instrumentation API
  • New functions:
  • Qore::close_all_fd()
  • new constants:

  • SqlUtil updates:
  • added insert operator support; for example, for inserting with values from sequences
  • added new upsert constant maps
  • added static SqlUtil::AbstractSqlUtilBase::getDatasourceDesc() method
  • added new Table::insertFromSelect*() variants taking Table arguments
  • added SqlUtil::Table::checkExistence() method
  • added support for the "forupdate" select option
  • OracleSqlUtil updates:

  • added the "optimal-quotes" option to CsvUtil::AbstractCsvWriter and subclasses to enable more efficient csv output (now the default)
  • added AbstractDatasource::currentThreadInTransaction() which is reimplemented as Datasource::currentThreadInTransaction() and DatasourcePool::currentThreadInTransaction(); the base class method throws an exception when called; it was not added as an abstract method in order to not break existing subclasses of AbstractDatasource
  • enhanced module license support
  • module license strings may now be specified in binary and user modules
  • Qore::getModuleHash() and Qore::getModuleList() now report license information for each module

  • fixed bugs handling "bigint" and "double precision" column types with schema alignments with the PgsqlSqlUtil module
  • fixed a bug handling parse initialization of constant values requiring run-time evaluation after other parse exceptions have been raised that could cause a parse-time crash
  • fixed a bug where qore could crash on exit with certain openssl versions by calling ERR_remove_state(0) in the main thread's cleanup function
  • fixed a bug where qore could crash on exit due to user module destruction not taking into consideration user module dependencies
  • fixed a bug in schema management in SqlUtil where excessively verbose column aliases were used that caused errors when automatically updating columns with existing rows and new default values and non-null contraints with PostgreSQL databases
  • fixed a bug where a call reference to an abstract object method returned from an abstract class could be executed even though it must have been instantiated by a concrete subclass

  • fixed a bug in the RestClient module when the yaml binary module is not available
  • fixed programmatic select queries with "limit" but no "offset" in OracleSqlUtil
  • fixed a bug in Qore::Program::importFunction() where only the committed function list was checked when importing functions with a specific target namespace path

  • fixed a bug when parsing subnamespaces into a parent namespace where the subnamespace already exists (either in the committed list or in the pending list)
  • fixed a memory and reference leak caused by recursive references when closures encapsulating an object's scope are assigned to or accessible from members of the object by making references to the object from within a closure encapsulating the object's state weak references instead of strong references
  • fixed schema information classes when the "string-numbers" driver option is enabled
  • fixed crashing bugs in Qore::get_thread_data() in certain use cases
  • fixed a bug in SqlUtil where select and row iterator operations could fail with certain select hash arguments without a "columns" entry but where column names were otherwise required
  • fixed a bug in HTTP response parsing where case-signficant comparisons where being made with certain critical header values
  • fixed a bug handling thread cancellation with the ThreadPool class
  • fixed several race conditions and potential deadlocks in ThreadPool destruction with active threads in the pool

  • examples/sqlutil: fixed help for sequence dump
  • doxygen/lang/900_release_notes.dox.tmpl, lib/RegexSubstNode.cpp, lib/scanner.lpp: allow escaping "$" character in regular expression substitution target strings, previously it was impossible to output a literal "$" + a digit, since this would be interpreted as a numbered input pattern expression
  • doxygen/lang/900_release_notes.dox.tmpl, lib/scanner.lpp: fixed a bug parsing octal character constants in the lexer when octal digits followed the octal constant (ex: \c "\0441" meaning \c "$1" would cause an error)

  • will not go out of scope (making all callbacks, etc go out of
  • scope as well) while threads in the user modules (that require
  • the callbacks from the original program object) are still
  • running; made many doc updates

New in Qore 0.8.6.1 (Nov 10, 2012)

  • changed the default value of the decode parameter in MultiPartMessage::parseBody() to True

New in Qore 0.8.5 (Sep 3, 2012)

  • More Control Over Thread Resource Exceptions
  • new functions:
  • throw_thread_resource_exceptions_to_mark()
  • mark_thread_resources()
  • Allow for only thread resouces created after a certain point to be processed
  • (for example only thread resources left after some embedded code was called)
  • New Socket Methods
  • new methods:
  • Socket::upgradeClientToSSL()
  • Socket::upgradeServerToSSL()
  • allow upgrading an already-existing socket connection to SSL
  • Better Socket Error Messages:
  • More information has been added to socket exceptions to provide better
  • feedback when errors occur.
  • New Socket Event Fields:
  • added "type" and "typename" keys to the EVENT_HOSTNAME_RESOLVED event
  • added "type", "typename", and "address" keys to the EVENT_CONNECTING event
  • Support For Blocking Writes in the Queue Class:
  • Queue objects can now be used as a blocking message channel (similar to a Go
  • channel); if a maximum size is given to the Queue constructor, then trying to
  • write data to the Queue when it is full will block until the Queue's size goes
  • below the maximum size; optional timeout parameters have been added to Queue
  • methods that write to the Queue.
  • New Queue::clear() Method:
  • Does just what you think it does
  • date(string, string) Improvement:
  • added the possibility to specify microseconds when parsing dates against a
  • mask with the date() function
  • New Support For ++ And -- Operators With Floating-Point Lvalues
  • previously this would either convert the lvalue to an int or throw an
  • exception if the lvalue could not be converted to an int due to type
  • restrictions
  • Class Recognition/Compatibility Between Program Objects:
  • The problem is that a user class created from the same source code in two
  • different Program objects would be recognized as a different class with
  • parameter and variable type restrictions - ie you could not declare a
  • variable or parameter with a class type restrictions and assign it an object
  • created from the same class source code but created in another Program object.

  • other minor spec file fixes

New in Qore 0.8.3 (Oct 17, 2011)

  • BUG FIX: fixed a bug in parse_url() & parseURL(); parsing urls with IPv6 addresses without ":" - this will only work if a port

  • places - particulary subprograms with imported variables
  • could fail to parse if %require-types is set in the
  • subprogram
  • BUG FIX: fixed detected duplicate variables in the same block when %assume-local is set
  • BUG FIX: SQLStatement::commit() and SQLStatement::rollback() no
  • longer throw an exception when called without an active
  • statement; instead, the statement is closed and the
  • operation is executed on the underlying database connection
  • object (Datasource or DatasourcePool object)
  • BUG FIX: fixed a memory error looking up scoped constant values at parse time
  • BUG FIX: do not issue a "return value ignored" exception if the
  • function/method could throw an exception - the usage
  • without using the return value could be to test if an
  • exception is raised (ie an exception would be considered a
  • side effect)
  • BUG FIX: fixed the string output for dates (when date/time values are converted to a string) to not duplicate UTC offset
  • information in case the associated time zone has no region
  • name
  • BUG FIX: fixed a bug in the c++ function QoreString::replaceAll BUG FIX: fixed a crash when parsing a class with an
  • unknown/undefined base class
  • BUG FIX: fixed a memory leak in the Socket class static
  • initialization
  • BUG FIX: fixed issues with passing a reference through different
  • program stacks

  • call to catch the case when a class instantiation is
  • recursively defined
  • BUG FIX: fixed a crash due to a memory error in managing reference cycles with closures assigned to constant containers

  • variables in expressions executed by the background
  • operator
  • BUG FIX: fixed function/method variant matching to ensure that
  • variants are matched at run time if there is a variant with
  • fewer parameters than arguments in the call, but the
  • arguments could be NOTHING (count these as ambiguous
  • matches)
  • BUG FIX: fixed 2 extremely tricky bugs where deleting a
  • global-thread-local and closure-bound variable that causes
  • an object to go out of scope that in turn references the
  • variable int its destructor caused a crash due to improper
  • thread-local variable stack deletion
  • BUG FIX: fixed a deadlock when deleting the old value of the
  • closure-bound global-thread-local variable while holding
  • the variable's lock (happened when the value was an object
  • that referenced the variable in the destructor)
  • BUG FIX: implemented variable finalization to ensure that variables are not assigned after they are destroyed during program and thread termination and destruction - this fixed some
  • possible memory leaks in QoreProgram destruction
  • BUG FIX: implemented sleep() and usleep() with nanosleep() (on all platforms with nanosleep(); also no longer mask SIGALRM as
  • it may be used by a library; SIGALRM is also needed for
  • sleep() and usleep() on UNIX and UNIX-like platforms; this
  • eliminated some strange crashes due to unhandled SIGALRM
  • signals when qore is used with some 3rd party libraries
  • BUG FIX: added QDOM_FILESYSTEM to all static File class methods (so they cannot be called while "no-filesystem" restrictions
  • are in place for a Program object)

  • BUG FIX: fixed a crashing bug in the File::open2() method
  • BUG FIX: fixed class method registration so that static method names and non-static method names have independent namespaces (i.e. a static method may now have the same name as a non-static method). Static methods may still be called with normaly method call syntax, however if there is a non-static method with the same name, then it will be called instead.
  • BUG FIX: when an HTTP header is received more than once, return all values as a list under the header name in the resulting hash
  • BUG FIX: fixed a potential race condition that could cause a crash in very rare circumstances in internal C++ QoreClass::numMethods() and QoreClass::numStaticMethod() functions; to make a crash a program would have to be running and parsing new code into the program in a separate thread as well; this is explicitly supported by Qore, but very rarely done

  • BUG FIX: fixed a deadlock in running class destructor code when a member is deleted that is itself an object, and that object's destructor references the parent object
  • BUG FIX: fixed a bug in the "qore" binary reporting the library's latest module API version (was using the compiled value and not the value from the library)
  • BUG FIX: fixed a bug in the HTTPClient class where the connection was not flagged as closed when an error occurred that indicated that the client had closed the connection
  • added a ModuleDir key to the hash output of get_qore_library_info()

  • improved error messages in the scanner when trying to %include something that's not a regular file

New in Qore 0.7.4 (Jun 9, 2009)

  • added the abilty for a Condition variable to wait on RWLock objects as well as Mutex objects
  • dereferencing a hash or object with a list will return a slice of the hash or object as a hash: ex: $hash.("key1", "key2")
  • allow %include parse directives to quote the file names (ignore leading and trailing quotes around the file name)

  • Fixed a memory error in QoreString::addch()

New in Qore 0.6.2.3 (Feb 11, 2008)
