[Hsqldb-developers] HSQLDB 1.8.0.4 Released

[fredt <fr...@us...>]

This is the latest bug-fix update to 1.8.0. All reported bugs have been 
fixed in this update. There is also a change to the way the .properties file 
is saved, avoiding deletion of this file when database and system shutdown 
coincide. Details in changelist_1_8_0.txt file

An enhancement to Server and WebServer has also been incorporated. This 
feature is enabled by setting a server property that allows the server to 
start without any databases, while subsequent connections to the server that 
include a database file:, mem: or res: URL can open the database on the 
server side.

Development of 1.8.1 is moving and the current version in the CVS 
hsqldb-dev3 directory is very stable. New features are regularly being added 
and the alpha release is scheduled for May or early June.
