Has OE 11.5 been released?

 

[Rob Fitzpatrick]

Haven't seen any notification yet. Last I heard it would be released in late December, or possibly early Q1 2015. What makes you ask?

 

[Cringer]

I very much doubt it. They said they'd compiled up the "Gold Candidate" just before the PUG. But it still had quite a lot of bugs that needed fixing.

No reason. It's just I saw "somewhere" that the release date was to be 6th December. Interested in trying out the new REST client and putting it through it's paces.

So looking at the OE New and Revised Features for version 11.5, I see there is no mention of the new REST client support for the ABL. A bit disappointed.

Oh! I've made a complete misunderstanding. The REST OUT support is on the road-map for 2014-2016. I was not intended for OE 11.5.

 

[Rob Fitzpatrick]

I didn't know until now that the 11.5 docs had been released. Does anyone have final code yet?

 

[Cringer]

I believe there's still some bugs to iron out. Quite a serious issue with ADM2 and PASOE if the thread on the community is anything to go by.

 

[Rob Fitzpatrick]

Cheers, thanks for the update.

So apparently it has hit the wilds this morning (18/12, not 8/12).

Yes, checked today, probably a bit too optimistically

 

[tamhas]

Maybe Easter? ....

 

[Rob Fitzpatrick]

Or maybe Christmas, if you ask Santa.

Yesterday I asked my rep when 11.5 would show up in my subscription. This morning my subscription was updated. Downloading 11.5 now...

 

[Cringer]

Wow enjoy!

 

[Rob Fitzpatrick]

I will. There's a surprising amount of nice little DB changes in this one. Given the focus on PAS/OE and TP, I really wasn't expecting anything in this release.

 

[Cringer]

What sort of things are you looking forward to then, Rob? I've not read the changelog yet.

 

[Rob Fitzpatrick]

They have added a new VST called _DbParams for more comprehensive logging of DB params. Also _Servers has been extended to include broker-specific params. These are changes you have to opt in to, via proutil enablenewvsttables and proutil updatevst. Proutil describe shows whether this has been done.

Now *every* param will be logged in the DB log at startup. And if you truncate your log with prolog, optionally they'll be written back to the top of the new log. Nice touch.

Also, for those who use OE Auditing, all parameter values are now audited.

 

[Rob Fitzpatrick]

Also, the Advanced Enterprise Edition RDBMS is interesting. It bundles Enterprise RDBMS, TDE, MT, TP, Repl Plus, and OEM in one product, installed with one serial/control code. Could be a good value for some of my clients, depending on pricing. I haven't seen the new price list yet.

 

[Rob Fitzpatrick]

And more functionality and utility support has been added to Table Partitioning in this release. But I haven't had a use case yet for TP. And it does have a few "gotchas" to be aware of with legacy applications. It isn't truly transparent to the application like TDE.
