We are pleased to announce Sedna 3.2 is available for download at:
New Features:
Most important internal improvements include:
* Persistent heap discarded. All metadata is stored just the same way as data does. CDB option "-persistent-heap-size" removed.
* Completely rewritten parser (in Flex/Bison). Means slightly improved XQuery conformancy and much easier enhancement in the future.
* Deadlock detection algorithm was rewritten.... [read more](/p/sedna/news/2009/07/sedna-32-released/)

New Features:
* Sedna Terminal has been significantly improved:
o Tab-completion for commands and queries (Linux, Mac OS, Solaris).
o Aliases for frequently used commands (e.g. \q instead of \quit). For details see [4] or type \set? in terminal.
o There is history now in Linux, Mac OS, Solaris, which is saved in terminal user's home directory.
* SEDNA_LOG_AMMOUNT option for driver [1] and corresponding \LOG_LESS_MODE for terminal [4]. These options allow severely reduced logical log size during bulk-loads at the expense of longer commits.
* Added new option to stop Sedna. Use "se_stop -hard" command to rollback all running transactions immediately. See [2] for details.... [read more](/p/sedna/news/2009/02/sedna-31-new-stable-build-31175/)

* Keep Alive Timeout option [1]. It specifies number of seconds session waits for the next request from the same client on the same connection.
* Two new options to tune logical log file size (-log-file-size) and count (-max-log-files). This allows more control on recovery and logical log size. See [5] for details.
* C API library is now provided in multiple versions under Windows: static /MT, static /MD and dynamic. See [2] or [3] for details.... [read more](/p/sedna/news/2008/12/sedna-31-new-stable-build-31126/)
