Re: [Hsqldb-developers] A Question About HSQLDb

[Fred T. <fr...@us...>]

1. Some structural changes without major functional change were
made between v. 1.7.0 and 1.7.1 (you can find the tags in CVS
repository).
2. Major restructuring has been performed all the time since
those versions, but always as a rewrite of parts of the code to
improve functionality.

Hi,


I am a graduate student in the Department of Information Systems
at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). I am
doing research in the area of software engineering. I would very
much appreciate if you could answer the following questions of
mine:


1. I was wondering if HSQLDb has gone under any major
restructuring/redesign initiative in its history.
Restructuring/redesign initiative can be defined as a concerted
effort during a time period in which major changes were applied
to the code base to improve software architecture/design while
little or no functional enhancement was made.


2. If the project has gone under such an initiative, then would
it be possible for you to give the dates or revision/release
numbers that are "right before" and "right after" this
structuring effort? I would like to checkout the source code from
the repository to compare structural measurements that belong to
"before" and "after" snapshots. Note that the dates and
revision/release numbers should be right before and right after
the initiative because I would like to be able to isolate and
observe the effects of this effort.


Your response will be very helpful in our research. Thank you
very much for your time in advance. I look forward to hearing
from you soon.

Mohammed Aziz
