Major version up to 5.00

Since Mroonga 4.00 had been released, there were many shipped improvements and remarkable features for Mroonga. So, it is a time to bump version to 5.00! :-)

Here are the brief list of changes since 4.00 release.

  • Supported MySQL (SCL) package on CentOS 6 (4.01)
  • Followed MySQL/MariaDB updates (4.02)
  • PPA was used to provide Ubuntu packages (4.03)
  • Supported INPLACE ALTER TABLE (4.04)
  • Supported CentOS 7 (4.05)
  • Dropped Debian testing/unstable (4.06)
  • Supported column compression and token filter (4.07)
  • Fixed bugs and improved documents (4.08)
  • Some improvements for advanced Mroonga users (4.09)
  • Experimental improvements which use jemalloc for multi-threaded performance (4.10)

There were big news that Mroonga is bundled with MariaDB since 10.0.15. There were also Groonga derived many features.

NOTICE: MariaDB 10.0.15/5.5.41 + Mroonga doesn't work

There is well-known "Lost connection" issue about MariaDB + Mroonga. It is the bug of MariaDB. Here is the detail of this bug.

Above issue is fixed MariaDB 10.0.16/5.5.42, but there is no update package for CentOS 6/CentOS 7.

So, following case causes this issue:

  • MariaDB 5.5.41 + Mroonga on CentOS 7
  • MariaDB 5.5.41(SCL) + Mroonga on CentOS 6

Because of this issue, Groonga project doesn't provide mariadb-mroonga package on CentOS 7 yet.

Note that it is MariaDB specific issue, there is nothing to do with MySQL.

Conclusion

See Release 5.00 - 2015-02-09 about detailed changes since 4.10.
