Sorry -  I can't wait any longer. Been waiting to see any posts regarding
v5, but none have come up so I've got to break the silence.

Tim, can you throw us a bone here.... a little teaser. Any update on the
release date, maybe you could leak the new name out. Have you made a
decision on the filename extentions of the new database? I'm not after
something big, but I just got to know something new about it that I don't
already know - no matter how small it is.  

At christmas, at least I could pick up the present under the tree, weigh it,
or rattle it to ease my anticipation.

Cheers

Adam.

Adam,

Yep, it's killing me too...

But having seen the recent shenanigans on the NexusDB newsgroup
(when a release had to be rolled back for some rather fundamental rewrite),
I'm happy to allow Tim to continue with his stated policy:
   << When it's ready. >>

Ver 5 has to be worth waiting for!

Regards,
Dan

Ouch! That must have really hurt - to roll back a major release! I agree
too.... when it's ready. (But I'd still love to have a sneak peek of one of
the new unannounced features

Adam,

<< Ouch! That must have really hurt - to roll back a major release! >>

I believe Dan misunderstood the information/discussions on the NexusDB
newsgroups.

They have not rolled back a major release. They decided to implement a
redesigned index engine in the next *point* release to accommodate better
handling of SQL constraints. They also decided to redesign some of the other
low-level sub-engines for performance reasons and generally better support
of the requirements of the SQL engine.

This is of course needs that may arise with a large SQL implementation like
NexusDB V2 SQL after users have been hammering the engine for months. I
personally think the vendor deserves credit for being willing to do this
kind of work in the middle of the lifecycle of the current major release.

Adam, sorry to jump in here. This is a misunderstanding of our announcement.
We have implemented some major changes in the core engines to improve
performance and prepare it for some changes to the SQL engine. To properly
test these changes we decided to *temporarily "roll back" some of the major
SQL changes and release a beta version just containing the core changes. This
should make sure that we didn't break the code for any customer. The changes
to the SQL are not removed or dumped, they are simply removed from this build
to be better able to identify any possible problems.

Tim, haven't talked to you in ages now. Good luck with V5 and I'll drop you a
mail in the next few days.
