Rudiments 2.2.0 Release Announcement

Version 2.2.0 of Rudiments, the C++ class library for developing systems and applications, is now available.

This release features some new encryption classes, updates to some old ones, and various obscure fixes.

SQL Relay 2.1.1 Release Announcement

Version 2.1.1 of SQL Relay, the powerful connection pool, load balancer, query router, and database proxy, is now available.

This patch release adds --sysconfdir to sqlrelay-config, fixes a bug which caused the port="..." attribute of the instance tag to be ignored, and loads the Oracle libclntsh library into its own linker namespace (if the platform supports it) to work around conflicts between its internal versions of other libraries (eg. openldap) and system libraries.

Rudiments 2.1.0 Release Announcement

Version 2.1.0 of Rudiments, the C++ class library for developing systems and applications, is now available.

This release features some refactoring of the mvc classes and other things that are used when building MVC apps, some improvements to the logger classes, support for linker namespaces on platforms that support dlmopen(), and some fixes for older platforms.

SQL Relay 2.1.0 Release Announcement

Version 2.1.0 of SQL Relay, the powerful connection pool, load balancer, query router, and database proxy, is now available.

This release adds much improved debug logging. The debug logger module now supports options for logging to standard output and standard error. Most tags in the sqlrelay.conf file now support a debug="yes/no" attribute which can be used to enable or disable debug for that specific module or subsystem. Debug to standard output for a particular module or subsystem can be enabled by just adding a debug="yes" to the appropriate tag, without specifically configuring a debug logger, now. However, if a debug logger is configured, then debug will be sent to it, and logged to either standard output, standard error, or files, as specified by its configuration. The debug itself is now more sane and readable as well. See the SQL Relay Configuration Guide for more detail.

Rudiments 2.0.2 Release Announcement

Version 2.0.2 of Rudiments, the C++ class library for developing systems and applications, is now available.

This patch release just moves things around internally such that syslog-related macros are exposed when including logger.h.

SQL Relay 2.0.1 Release Announcement

Version 2.0.1 of SQL Relay, the powerful connection pool, load balancer, query router, and database proxy, is now available.

The SQL Relay native APIs, database abstraction layers, and clients now supports attempts to connect to multiple hosts and host randomization, providing another option for front-end load balancing and failover. If the host/server is a comma-separated list of hosts, then the list of hosts will be randomized, and an attempt will be made to connect to each until the attempt succeeds. See the Front-End Load Balancing - Host Randomization section of the Configuration Guide for more details.

Rudiments 2.0.1 Release Announcement

Version 2.0.1 of Rudiments, the C++ class library for developing systems and applications, is now available.

This release contains one main new feature. The inetsocketclient class now supports attempts to connect to multiple hosts and host randomization, providing a basic load balancing and failover feature to projects that use the class. If the host is a comma-separated list of hosts, then an attempt will be made to connect to each until the attempt succeeds, or there are no more hosts left to try. By default, the list of hosts is randomized, but this can be controlled by the randomizeHosts() method.
