  - Connection pool classes were updated to work with MySQL database (support 
    was added to connection pool only, FL does not support this database).
    Please keep in mind that now you can get connection via 
    ImplObjectManager.getReadOnlySQLConnection() method in autocommit mode:
    - ConnectionProxy was updated:
      - setAutoCommit(false) was removed from constructor.
      - now it executes rollback on close for connection with autocommit of false only.
  - FLTxnConnectionProxy:
    - setAutoCommit(false) was added to constructor.
  - ImplObjectManager:
    - constructor was updated to init DriverDataSource by user name and
      password instead of creation corresponding properties.
  - Connection pool changes:
    - ConnectionPoolWithQueue was updated:
      - getConnection was updated: logging stack traces of all busy connections
        was added (if debug logging mode is enabled).
    - DriverDataSource: 
      - DriverDataSource(String url, String user, String password) constructor
        was added.

2001-05-13

  - Allocation via database was added for Oracle: use
    ImplObjectManager.enableDBKeyAllocation(int) to enable this feature.
    FL uses 'fl_entity_keys' table to allocate keys. If this table is not
    existed FL creates it on the first enableDBKeyAllocation call. Also on
    enableDBKeyAllocation call FL initializes id counter according to entity0
    table. Thus if you do'not use enableDBKeyAllocation then there are no
    changes for your application and database. If you use enableDBKeyAllocation
    then FL automatically creates the necessary table and initializes id
    counter. If allocation via database was enabled then RMI cluster is 
    forbidden and vice versa.
    - KeyAllocator class was added.
    - JDBCAccessor: methods were added:
      - allocateEntityKeys
      - initEntityKey
      - getDBType
    - JDBCAccessorOracle was updated: entity key allocation was added.
    - EntityIntIdFactory was updated:
      - keyAllocator was added
      - not used allocIntId(int count) was removed
    - ImplObjectManager.enableDBKeyAllocation(int) was added.
   

  2001-04-09

    logging was added.
  - ObjectManager, ImplObjectManager were updated: getServerURL() method was
    removed.

    argument was added.
  2001-04-08
  - Logging was updated in com.novosoft.fl.jdbc.fltxn.FLTxnDataSource: usage of
    logWriter was changed to usage of org.log4j.Category.
  - ConnectionPoolWithQueue was updated: getConnection() in closed state (case
    of creation of the new connection; getLogWriter, setLogWriter were
    implemented.
  - Classes were renamed:
     - ru.novosoft.jdbc.pool.driver.DriverConnectionPoolDataSource to
       ru.novosoft.jdbc.pool.ConnectionPoolDataSourceImpl
     - ru.novosoft.jdbc.pool.driver.DriverPooledConnection to

  - Log class was updated: now warnings of '01I06' state are logged without
    stack trace. Thus Informix database warnings of that state are logged
    like the following: "Statement SQLWarning: java.sql.SQLWarning: 
    Informix extension to an ANSI-compliant standard syntax".
    

  2001-04-05

  - Fixed datasource closing: 
    ru.novosoft.jdbc.pool.ConnectionPoolWithQueue.close() method.
  

          
  - Fixed type code storing. FL 4.6.1 does not store entity type code at all
    (typeids00 table is not filled when database is created).
  - OQL updated: OQLInterpreter.executeOQLQuery was updated to get connection
    after OQL to SQL translation.
  - "Pool.getConnection.timeout" property was added to set timeout in seconds

    properties. Now it used to generate min length of VARCHAR type declaration
    in *.create SQL scripts for Informix database.
  - Fixed inconsistency in SQL types for primary key and type code between
    entity0 and other tables for Informix database.
  - Fixed getExtent for Entity type.

        - EntityPermission
        - EntityUserCollector
        - EntityUserParameters
        - InstancePermission
        - ObjectAccessDeniedException
    - methods:

        - ObjectManager:
          - checkAccess(Entity entity, int permission)
          - checkAccess(String factoryName, int permission)
          - logon(String user, String password)
          - setEntityUserCollector(EntityUserCollector userCollector)
          - setSecurity(boolean security)
      - com.novosoft.fl.impl:
        - ImplObjectManager:
          - checkAccess(Entity entity, int permission)
          - checkAccess(String factoryName, int permission)
          - getRoleByName(String name)
          - getUser()
          - grantPermission(EntityUserRole role, Entity entity, int permission)
          - grantRole(EntityUser user, EntityUserRole role)
          - logon(String user, String password)
          - revokeRole(EntityUser user, EntityUserRole role)
          - setEntityUserCollector(EntityUserCollector userCollector)
          - setSecurity(boolean security)
    Now FL does not create the following tables:
      ENTITYUSE100,
      ENTITYUSERR1316,
      ENTITYUSERR1318,
      ENTITYUSERR884,
      ENTITYUSER_918,
      PROTECTED102,
      PROTECTED110.
    - packaging files:

      - com.novosoft.fl:
        - ObjectManager:
          - createObject(String factoryName, Object primaryKey)
        - AbstractObjectManager:
          - getObject(String factory, int parameter)

    "SET LOCK MODE TO WAIT 15; SET ISOLATION TO Cursor stability" is executed
    to initialize new SQL connection. This tempropary feature by AJE request.
  - Fixed Transaction Manager. In presence of two parallel transactions, the
    shorter transactions that should have get removed, were not removed if
    the longer transaction was still active at that moment.
  - Fixed constructor of ImplObjectManager with parameter of java.util.Properties type.

    Factory.createProxyObject(Object primaryKey) was removed.
  - Exception handling in
    ru.novosoft.jdbc.pool.driver.DriverPooledConnectionProxy.close() method was

    connection proxy is still closed successfully.

          
  - Fix: 4.4.10 version has bug at ImplObjectManager.massLoad(List) (the method

    MassLoadSupport - SQL query building and entity primary key handling.
  - New method: massLoad with pageSize argument. See FL API javadoc for details.

    many folders (classical example "Folders and Messages": Folder has
    findReverse list of Messages).
  - Fix: exception handling at mass loading of list elements was fixed.
  - FL packaging fixed: antlr.jar was added to flgenfull.jar.
  - log4j.jar was changed to original version of 0.9.0 (all our fixes was
    implemented at this log4j version, thus there is no backward 
    incompatibility). Some changes about log4j configuration were inserted at
    %FL_HOME%/doc/howto/logging.txt.

          
  - FLGen and FL OQL subsystems were updated to the new Rose petal parser
    (rosepetal.jar:
     Implementation-Title: NovoSoft Petal File API,
     Implementation-Version: 0.2.1).
  - ImplObjectManager.massLoad() method was fixed: mass loading of loaded
    objects don't cause SQL query execution.
  - FLGen update: Factory.loadObject method was updated: logging of
    ObjectNotFoundException exception was added.

    (null value case).

          
  - FLGen update: model attribute property was added to select string attribute
    setter behavior: truncate or throw exception if too big string is set.

    multiplicity.

          
  - Fix: Connection Pool refresh was added to restore connections to database
    after connection has been lost.
  - Fix: MSAccess database: Java byte type mapping: now OQL/SQL queries for
    negative values work.
  - It was added support of Informix database.
  - Logging of next SQLExcepion (SQLException.getNextException()) was added.
  - Logging was added in Connection proxy (DEBUG level).
  - TransactionalAction: logging level of message about started rollback is

    exceptions from notified clients don't break notification process and are
    not thrown farther.
  - FL OQL fix: execution of queries with function defines.

          
  - RMI Cluster fix: entity deleting: when client1 deletes an entity and
    client2 has empty proxy (EntityImpl==null) of the same entity then
    NullPointerException is raised on the client2. Now it is fixed.
  - JDBC access fix for MSAccess and MSSQL: now putting of empty LONG VARCHAR
    string value ("") to database works.
  - TransactionalAction was fixed: RuntimeException is not wrapped by
    FLRuntimeException now, thus a RuntimeException which was thrown in a
    transactional action is caught at TransactionalAction and then is thrown
    further.
  - Logging was changed. Now it uses log4j. See doc/howto/logging.txt for
    details.

          
  - FL OQL: added support of DB2 and MSSQL databases.
