This release consolidates the never-tagged, never-published 0.7.2 preparation
with official opt-in SPSS Frontend 0.3 support. The previous public release is
0.7.1; there was no 0.7.2 release.
Added
- Explicitly selected official SPSS Frontend 0.3 using the existing strict
request/parser/binder/compiler pipeline; Frontend 0.2 remains the default.
Support comments, dictionary-order TO and grouped commands, NOT and comparison
aliases, finite open RECODE ranges, and ordered typed ADD VALUE LABELS. - Check all 90 effective official cases against the unchanged specification pin,
inherited Plan 0.1/0.2 objects and hashes, and native SQLite in-place provenance
and identity. All 20 implementation CI jobs passed at
22e261842e538188aea281896c578c5f3d1e38b7, including the service matrix
(run). Declare
Frontend 0.3 officially conformant while retaining its opt-in capability field.
The final 0.8.0 release commit still requires full CI before tagging. - Use precedence comparisons, NOT, AND, OR; parentheses override. Compilation
is pure over request metadata: callers supply the current ordered dictionary
and typed value labels; the compiler does not read the database. No
STRING/DELETE, schema extension, Plan 0.3 or In-Place 0.3 support is added.
Fixed
- Preserve finite binary64 precision in SQLite case values and compression bias,
and in affected multiple-response counted-value metadata writes. - Fail imports on SQL errors even when the supplied PDO uses silent or warning
mode, restoring the caller's error mode afterward. Reject caller-owned active
transactions before import mutation. - Finalize SQLite/PostgreSQL import audit success inside the native import
transaction, so finalization failure rolls back the attempt. Retain the
MySQL/MariaDB/Dolt ownership-scoped cleanup and finalization compensation.
Performance
- Send PostgreSQL and MySQL/MariaDB/Dolt case INSERTs in bounded prepared batches,
respecting parameter/packet budgets and preserving preflight-valid oversized
singleton rows, case order, NULLs, strings and numeric precision. - Load canonical and legacy export dictionary children and set members with
dataset-scoped grouped queries instead of per-variable/per-set queries.
Export remains database-read-only and observes fresh metadata on every call.
Existing import/export call forms, dependencies, specification pin, database
support claims and catalog schema remain unchanged. Catalog preparation and
ownership checks are retained; this release requires no new migration.
