This is a release for Gix-IDE that integrates the new "standalone" debugger engine and consolidates the various development (internal) branches. While the "standard" debugger is still the one to be currently used, having a single and published version will help speed up the development process. This release also arrives with new binary packages: compiler and runtime files have been moved outside the installer itself and will be downloaded on-demand. While this means that an Internet…

This is a new release for GixSQL, that mainly re-implements autocommit and updatable cursor support, and fixes a few bugs. For information on how these two features work, look at the (updated) documentation, where a specific section has been added. A point of attention is the fact that the new packages are being built with GitHub Actions: the building and packaging process is entirely reproducible using the workflows supplied in the repository. This also means…

The internal branch v1.0.19dev has been merged into main and it will be the base for the upcoming version v1.0.19. It implements, as announced, support for autocommit and updatable cursors. It includes, obviously, some fixes that have been applied to the main branch in past few weeks. This merge will also allow to integrate fixes for other issues more easily. The final release of v1.0.19 should be out in a week, two at most, then…

GixSQL is undergoing some work to re-implement two features: autocommit support and updatable cursors. Both of them have been there since the first releases, but due to several reasons (essentially lack of usage and bad assumptions) they were left behind and their functionality, in their current incarnation, is dubious. The new implementation sees these two features being moved mainly from the main library (libgixsql) to the database driver libraries (e.g. libgixsql-pgsql), with only a few…

This is a pre-release for Gix-IDE that integrates the new "standalone" debugger engine and consolidates the various development (internal) branches. While the "standard" debugger is the one to be currently used, having a single and published version will help speed up the development process. This pre-release also arrives with new binary packages: compiler and runtime files have been moved outside the installer itself and will be downloaded on-demand. While this means that an Internet connection is…
