Drizzle Developer Meeting wrap up from last week

Monday, August 24th, 2009

See Brian's summary here

sqlbench now part of Drizzle testing framework

Monday, August 24th, 2009

Thanks to Patrick Galbraith we now have sqlbench running and thanks to Jay's guidance also have it integrated into the Drizzle Automation framework. We have added sqlbench as a job in our Hudson framework so that it will now automatically run every time there are updates to the staging branch. If you want to be on the email list for receiving any of the benchmark results, please register here.

Next up, crash-me which is currently running but needs some polish before we declare success.

Drizzle source tarball 1107 has been released

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

Drizzle source tarball based on build 1107 has been released. The big item for this release is Jay's initial work on replication. This first release includes a default simple replicator plugin and a command log plugin, which logs all changes to the server in a log file containing Google Protobuffer command messages. The command log is used by other replication-focused modules which will be featured in the upcoming Aloha and Bell releases and forms the basis of standardized communication about changes to a server's data.
