The Apache Derby project is pleased to announce feature release 10.8.1.2.

Apache Derby is a subproject of the Apache DB project. Derby is a pure Java relational database engine which conforms to the ISO/ANSI SQL and JDBC standards. Derby aims to be easy for developers and end-users to work with.

Derby 10.8.1.2 can be obtained from the Derby download site:

   http://db.apache.org/derby/derby_downloads.html.


Derby 10.8.1.2 contains the following new features:

    * JDBC 4.1 - Derby's JDBC drivers support the new Java 7 methods on the java.sql and javax.sql  interfaces.
    * Automatic calculation of index statistics - Derby automatically refreshes statistics to help it pick better query plans.
    * Improved interrupt handling - Interrupting connection threads no longer crashes the Derby engine.
    * MAX optimization - On indexed tables, MAX queries run faster in more cases.
    * XML operator portability - The xmlparse and xmlserialize operators work out-of-the-box on more platforms.

In addition, Derby 10.8.1.2 contains many bug and documentation fixes.

Please try out this new release.
