June 13, 2014 Documentation, General, Releases

Dear ArangoDB users, we are proud to announce our new manual for ArangoDB. It is a complete overhaul, with huge changes and improvements, which became necessary because the old manual grew so fast and was edited by so many people, that it became inconsistent. We would appreciate if you could give us feedback. Either by writing comments in the google groups or by opening issues in the GitHub repository.

You can find our new manual here.

Changes highlights:

Everything in one place: user manual, developers manual and adminstrators manual
Completely new, consistent and themable design
Improved navigation through sidebar
Powerful search function

ArangoDB 1.4.16 Released: Enhancements & Bug Fixes

May 31, 2014 Releases

Well, it is “release week”. If you have not yet switch to ArangoDB 2.x, we have a released a maintenance release for ArangoDB 1.4:

v1.4.16 (2014-05-29)

fixed too eager datafile deletion this issue could have caused a crash when the compaction had marked datafiles as obsolete and they were removed while “old” temporary query results still pointed to the old datafile positions
fixed issue #826: Replication fails when a collection’s configuration changes

ArangoDB 2.0.8 Released: Enhancements & Bug Fixes

May 30, 2014 Releases

For those of you, you have not yet switched to ArangoDB 2.1: A new maintenance release for ArangoDB 2.0 is available from the download-corner.

v2.0.8 (2014-05-29)

fixed too-busy iteration over skiplists Even when a skiplist query was restricted by a limit clause, the skiplist index was queried without the limit. this led to slower-than-necessary execution times.
fixed timeout overflows on 32 bit systems
fixed issue #848: db.someEdgeCollection.inEdge does not return correct value when called the 2nd time after a .save to the edge collection this bug has led to problems when select was called with a high timeout value (2000+ seconds) on 32bit systems that don’t have a forgiving select implementation. when the call was made on these systems, select failed so no data would be read or sent over the connection this might have affected some cluster-internal operations.
fixed ETCD issues on 32 bit systems ETCD was non-functional on 32 bit systems at all. The first call to the watch API crashed it. This was because atomic operations worked on data structures that were not properly aligned on 32 bit systems.

ArangoDB 2.1 RC 1: Test the Latest Features | ArangoDB

May 13, 2014 General, Releases

Dear ArangoDB users,

we are proud to announce the first release candidate for ArangoDB 2.1 two months after the first sharding release 2.0. It is a major step forward containing a lot of improvements.

Please note that we need your help testing the release candidate for any glitches and bugs. For instance, we moved to C++11. We tested the RPM and DEB packages we have built, but as there are so many different set-ups we certainly did not find all incompatibilities.

You can download packages from our website. Please report any bugs to us using the issue tracker of Github.

Thanks in advance for your help
Frank

Guacamole Released: ODM for ArangoDB in Rails | ArangoDB Blog

May 9, 2014 Releases, Ruby

Rubyists, here is something for you: Dirk Breuer (@railsbros_dirk) and Lucas Dohmen (@moonbeamlabs) hav released the first version of Guacamole. The following text is taken from the Github repository:

Guacamole is an Object Document Mapper (ODM) for the multi-model NoSQL database ArangoDB. Its main goal is to support easy integration into Ruby on Rails but will likely work in other Rack-based frameworks as well. There are a couple of design goals behind Guacamole which should drive all our development effort:

Easy integration on the View layer (i.e. form builders)
Reflect the nature of NoSQL in general and ArangoDB in particular
Focus on long-term maintainability of your application

ArangoDB 2.0.7 Release: Enhancements & Bug Fixes

May 6, 2014 Releases

We have released a maintenance version:

v2.0.7 (2014-05-05)

issue #839: Foxx Manager missing “unfetch”
fixed a race condition at startup this fixes undefined behavior in case the logger was involved directly at startup, before the logger initialization code was called. This should have occurred only for code that was executed before the invocation of main(), e.g. during ctor calls of statically defined objects.
