2.4.0 - Night Of The Living Dead
Latest release

@gabor-boros gabor-boros released this Dec 19, 2019 · 221 commits to next since this release

RethinkDB 2.4 introduces write hooks and bitwise operations besides bug fixes.

Read the blog post for more details.

Compatibility

Data files from RethinkDB version 1.16 onward will be automatically
migrated. As with any major release, back up your data files before
performing the upgrade. Please read the RethinkDB 2.4.0 release
notes if you're upgrading from version 2.3.x or
earlier.

RethinkDB 2.4.0 servers cannot be mixed with servers running RethinkDB
2.3.x or earlier in the same cluster.

Official Drivers

Except for JavaScript, the official drivers are now generally
maintained as separate projects. But note that there is some coupling
of RethinkDB console commands, like rethinkdb dump, with the Python
driver. RethinkDB 2.4 contains some old copies of the drivers to keep
./test/run working with minimal effort. The JavaScript driver is
still used in the Web UI. However, the web assets are now
pre-generated, at src/gen/web_assets.cc, making the presence of the
driver in the repository not strictly necessary.

Here are links to the official drivers:

API-breaking changes

  • Write hooks add a new field to the table configuration.
  • A bugfix changes the match command's behavior on empty regexes.
    It had previously been behaving incorrectly.

Substantive Changes

(Issue numbers point into the https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb
bugtracker.)

  • ReQL
    • Added the set_write_hook and get_write_hook commands, which attach to
      tables a function that can modify the behavior of any write. (#5813)
    • Added bitwise operators for number types: bit_and, bit_not, bit_or,
      bit_sal, bit_sar and bit_xor. (#6534)
    • Permitted the hyphen character (-) to be used in table names. (#5537)
    • Users may be granted permissions on system tables. (#5692)
    • Make iso8601 command round, not truncate. (#6909)
    • Fix timestamp millisecond down-truncation bug. (#6272)
  • Server
    • Fixed crash with limit change feed inserted guarantee failure. (#6710)
    • Avoid using DNS resolution when finding network interface addresses. (#6588)
    • Removed update checker. (#6791)
    • Added experimental support for arm64/aarch64. (#6438)
    • Added experimental support for Power8/LE platform. (#6317)
    • Fixed race condition in the query cache. (#6564)
    • Avoid quadratic growth in segmented vector. (#6385)
    • Big-Endian fixes and s390x support. (#6242)
  • Web UI
    • Implemented a new table viewer widget for browsing the contents of tables. (#6767)
    • Improved table page performance in case with many databases. (#6790)
  • Compilation
    • The web assets are now pre-generated, so that macOS users can build them. (#6770)
    • Debian package building is now parallelized. (#6780)
    • Fixed extproc spawner bug. (#5572)
    • Allowed building against libressl. (#6671)
  • JavaScript Driver
    • Avoided mutating object passed to r.connect. (#6575)
  • Python Driver
  • Other Drivers
    • Changes omitted, as they're in separate repositories.

v2.3.7 

Update NOTES.md for v2.3.7
Mar 31, 2019

v2.4.0-beta 

Revert "Use pre-generated src/gen/web_assets.cc"
This reverts commit bd461da.

This is a cheap way to get bionic deb packaging working.  It would
be nice to remove the npm build dependency, but I guess we are not
there yet.

Bug fix release

Notes

This is the first release of RethinkDB since October 2016. The RethinkDB project has joined the Linux Foundation. This release is brought to you by volunteers from the Open RethinkDB team. The RethinkDB source code is now licensed under an ASLv2 license.

Compatibility

On 32-bit platforms and on Windows (64 and 32 bit), RethinkDB 2.3.6 servers should not be mixed with servers running RethinkDB 2.3.3 or older in the same cluster. Doing so can lead to server crashes when using the web UI or when accessing the logs system table.

On 64-bit platforms, RethinkDB 2.3.6 servers can be mixed with older RethinkDB 2.3.x servers in the same cluster. We recommend that you run a mixed-version cluster only temporarily for upgrading purposes.

No migration is required when upgrading from RethinkDB 2.3.x. Please read the [RethinkDB 2.3.0 release notes][release-notes-2.3.0] if you're upgrading from an older version.

Bug fix release

Compatibility

On 32-bit platforms and on Windows (64 and 32 bit), RethinkDB 2.3.5 servers should not
be mixed with servers running RethinkDB 2.3.3 or older in the same cluster. Doing so can lead to
server crashes when using the web UI or when accessing the logs system table.

On 64-bit platforms other than Windows, RethinkDB 2.3.5 servers can be mixed with older
RethinkDB 2.3.x servers in the same cluster. We recommend that you run a mixed-version cluster
only temporarily for upgrading purposes.

No migration is required when upgrading from RethinkDB 2.3.x. Please read the
RethinkDB 2.3.0 release notes if you're upgrading from an older version.

Bug fixes

  • Server
    • Improved the efficiency of the on-disk garbage collector to reduce the risk of
      excessive file growth (#5923)
    • Improved the latency of read queries under heavy write loads (#6072)
    • Fixed a bug that could cause the server to crash with a deserialization error
      or to stop completing any table reads (#6033)

      which could potentially lead to results being generated in the wrong order (#6041)
    • Fixed a bug in the batch handling of the fold and multi-stream map commands,
      that would stop results from being generated correctly if these commands were
      applied to a changefeed (#6007)
    • Fixed an issue that could cause proxies to remain listed in the connected_to
      field of the server_status table, even after they had disconnected (#5871)
    • Fixed the detection of non-deterministic conflict functions in the insert command
      (#5842)
    • Improved the Raft election timeout logic to avoid infinite Raft election loops (#6038)
    • Improved the response time when reading from the table_status system table (#4589)
    • The server no longer logs the message
      Rejected a connection from server X since one is already open when trying to connect
      to itself (#5456)
    • Fixed a bug that could cause an Uncaught exception server crash if a TLS-encrypted
      connection was closed during a certain connection stage (#5904)
    • Fixed a bug in merge that could cause r.literal objects to remain after the merge
      and be stored in a table (#5977)
    • On Windows: Fixed a bug in the r.http command that resulted in decoding issues (#5924)
    • On Windows: RethinkDB now binds TCP ports exclusively (#6008)

  • JavaScript driver
