                 Sedna 3.5 Release Notes and ChangeLog


New Features:
=====================================

* Native implementation of full-text indices. Now it's not necessary to buy
  dtSearch engine to create and query full-text indices. For details refer to
  the Sedna Programmer's Guide, Managing Full-Text Indices section [1].


* CDATA is now preserved for text nodes in direct element constructors. It can
  be preserved during bulk load using special prolog option declaration:
  
     declare option se:bulk-load "cdata-section-preserve=yes"; 
  See Sedna Programmer's Guide, Bulk Load section [2] for further details.

* XQuery serialization option cdata-section-elements is now supported [3]. It
  specifies list of elements names. Content of these elements is serialized
  wrapped in CDATA.

* New listen-address Sedna server option [4]. This option specifies an address
  that Sedna server will accept clients connections on. It can be specified as
  IP numeric value or host name.

  Note: the default value for this option is localhost and it makes Sedna 3.5
  operate NOT in the same way it did before. Check Administration Guide,
  Running Sedna section, listen-address option for details [4]. To make Sedna
  behave as previous releases (not recommended) specify 0.0.0.0 value.

* Internal data representation optimization: database now takes less hard disk
  space.
* Bug fixes, small improvements.
* Query execution optimizations. Including completely rewritten distinct-values
  function.

Official Drivers Changes:
=====================================
Version 2.2 of the PHP driver by Sedna Team is available. Changes include
critical bug fixes. 
  * Download: http://modis.ispras.ru/FTPContent/sedna/api/php-api-2.2.tgz
  * Sources:  git clone git://sedna.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/sedna/php-api

New Contributions:
=====================================
  * Eric Jones shared initial version of Haskell bindings:
         http://github.com/ExternalReality/SednaDBXML
  * BlacBox subsystem for Sedna released:
         http://oberoncore.ru/bbcc/subs/sedna/start 

 Thanks Eric and guys from Tesla for valuable contributions!

*Note:* 
  Sedna 3.5 database format is NOT compatible with the previous one. 
  Use export/import utility [5] to migrate between releases.
