This release of Rel<\/em>, an implementation of Date & Darwen’s Tutorial D<\/strong> database language, improves the user interface, fixes some bugs, adds support for outer joins, and significantly reduces the size of the Rel<\/em> distribution whilst improving startup speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following enhancements have been made:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– The Rel<\/em> user interface (known as DBrowser) provides same familiar interface but now has significantly fewer Eclipse framework dependencies. The result is a smaller distribution and improved start-up time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– DBrowser: Export option dropped from relvar edit grids, as there are other, better facilities for exporting to Excel available on right-click menus, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– DBrowser: Under Preferences, moved alternate output display option to Display tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– DBrowser: Improved handling of icon resizing via Preferences. On MacOS, all icon sizes change without needing to restart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– DBrowser: Preferences data is no longer stored in Rel<\/em> application directory; now stored in user’s home directory. This allows keeping preferences across Rel<\/em> updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– DBrowser now supports “remote only” mode where only connections to remote databases are possible. To enable, delete rel0*.jar (e.g. rel0000.jar), RelDBMS.jar, and RelTest.jar from lib\/rel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– DBrowser ‘+’ tab now provides list of recently-used databases and means to delete entries. As a result, management entries removed from main menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– DBrowser: Tweaks to display of RVAs to improve readability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– DBrowser: Now provides option to create and restore a database from a backup as a unified operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Client library: Decoupled Server\/ServerV0000 from Client to permit use of relclient.jar on its own (plus relshared.jar) to facilitate developing purely remote clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Rel: Added p LEFT JOIN q which returns 
TUPLE {Matched p JOIN q, Missing p NOT MATCHING q}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Rel: Added p RIGHT JOIN q which returns 
TUPLE {Matched p JOIN q, Missing q NOT MATCHING p}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Rel: Added p FULL JOIN q which returns
TUPLE {
  Matched p JOIN q, 
  MissingLeft p NOT MATCHING q, 
  MissingRight q NOT MATCHING p
}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Build: Module jars now generated via Ant build files; product build scripts now generate all jars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following bugs have been fixed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– DBrowser: The ‘comment’ visualiser in Rev now handles carriage return correctly on all platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– DBrowser: Saving a script with escape chars, e.g., \\\\blah, loaded as \\blah. Fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– DBrowser: Resizing the Rel<\/em> window whilst in relvar Edit mode caused odd problems, such as the content not re-sizing, scrollbars disappearing, etc. Fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– DBrowser: Graphical editing of RVA value did not work due to failure to launch RVA editor. Fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– DBrowser\/Client: Fixed TUPLE of RVA display problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Rel: parallel RENAME now supported. E.g., 
TUPLE {x 10, y 20, z 30} RENAME {x AS y, y AS x} works.
Case #203 fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Rel: This threw a fatal error:
RELATION {TUPLE {RVA RELATION {TUPLE {K 1}}}} 
EXTEND {RR := RVA RANK (ASC K AS R)}
Fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
