db4o Version 6.0 Released as Production-Ready
SAN MATEO, Calif., Dec. 14, 2006 - db4objects (www.db4o.com), creator of the open source object database, today announced the production-ready release of db4o Version 6.0, which is now available for unrestricted download from the db4o Website.
Thanks to the feedback of db4o community members, who have downloaded 12,400 copies of the development (beta) version over a period of only 4 weeks, many bugs were fixed along with the introduction of an impressive set of new features.
Version 6.0 features significant performance improvements, both for in-process, embedded mode as well as for client/server operation. In comparison to Version 5, in-process transactions with db4o now run up to 10 times faster (e.g., on Commits of added objects), while memory consumption is now constant at 3MB in all but one Pole Position benchmark test cases, reduced from up to 27MB in Version 5.
In addition, the new release features:
Version 6 also comes with updates of two powerful components: the db4o Replication System (dRS) v6.0, to ensure compatibility to backend relational databases like Oracle and MySQL, and the new ObjectManager v6.0, which helps developers browse and debug db4o databases in an object-oriented manner.
The community hailed the new version when it first got hold of the development (beta) version on November 14. Extensive feedback, in person - during the global db4o Roadshow with stops in San Francisco, Boston, Tokyo, Seoul, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Munich, Paris, Berlin, and London - as well as online, was overwhelmingly positive, such as Blogger Ward Bekker's: "In my eyes the developers of DB4O really got it. Have very low minimal hardware requirements, test the user experience against that and make the performance a big priority."
