In the first maintenance release of ArangoDB 2.7 we have switched from readline to linenoise ng for line-editing and history capabilities on the command line.

Furthermore, the AQL function MERGE() improved, now working on a single array parameter, too. This allows combining the attributes of multiple objects from an array into a single object, e.g.: Read more

In ArangoDB 2.6.9 we have fixed an AQL skiplist issue that occurs in a combination of sort and limit.

When using a Skiplist index on an attribute (say “a”) and then using sort and skip on this attribute caused the result to be empty e.g.:

require("internal").db.test.ensureSkiplist("a");
require("internal").db._query("FOR x IN test SORT x.a LIMIT 10, 10");

Was always empty no matter how many documents are stored in test. This is now fixed.

A new maintenance release 2.6.7 is available for download.

Changelog:

• Improved edge index performance when using collections with more than 100 Mio. edges
• added startup option --server.additional-threads to create separate queues for slow requests.

ArangoDB 2.6.5 is available for download. This is a bugfix release that solves the following issues:

• fixed busy wait loop in scheduler threads that sometimes consumed 100% CPU while waiting for events on connections closed unexpectedly by the client side
• handle attribute indexBuckets when restoring collections via arangorestore. Previously the indexBuckets attribute value from the dump was ignored, and the server default value for indexBuckets was used when restoring a collection.
• fixed “EscapeValue already set error” crash in V8 actions that might have occurred when cancelling V8-based operations.

ArangoDB Version 2.6.4 comes with an upgraded V8 engine (4.1.0.27) and is ready to download now. In the 2.5 branch we’ve published a 2.5.7 maintenance release as well.
