Interface cancelations
Changing the names of the iterator methods max/min to maxValue/minValue
The methods max and min in the iterator classes P Mibs::MibsFilterIt,
P Mibs::MibsSeqIt, and VIEWITERATOR(P) were renamed maxValue and minValue
respectively in Version 3.0 of GINA in order to prevent conflicts with the max and min
macros defined in some environments.
The old API containing the method names max and min was supported as a transitional
aid. These methods are inline methods which call the methods maxValue and minValue
respectively. You can suppress these methods explicitly using the GINA_WITHOUT_MINMAX
compiler switch in order to prevent conflicts with macros of the same name.
The method names max and min will be omitted from GINA Version 4.0 and later.
mgen2: Column aliases (mnemonics for SQL) and PS-DB-API
The algorithm for defining the names of the column aliases as well as the parameters for
the functions in the PS-DB-API will be changed as of GINA V5.0.
To avoid name clashes, underscores contained in the names of the specialist attributes will
be doubled. In terms of the PS-DB-API, this change will not affect the GINA user as it is the
datatype of the individual attributes that is the decisive factor there. In terms of column
aliases, this change will affect all SQL queries where a search is to be performed for at-
tributes with an underscore in their names. The underscores in the relevant attribute names
must then simply be doubled.
C runtime libraries under WindowsNT
Version 4.0 and above will be shipped with multithreaded libraries only.
