A maintenance release of ArangoDB 2.2 is available via the package manager or from our download page.
v2.2.2 (2014-08-08)
-------------------
* allow storing non-reserved attribute names starting with an underscore
Previous versions of ArangoDB parsed away all attribute names that started with an
underscore (e.g. `_test', '_foo', `_bar`) on all levels of a document (root level
and sub-attribute levels). While this behavior was documented, it was unintuitive and
prevented storing documents inside other documents, e.g.:
{
"_key" : "foo",
"_type" : "mydoc",
"references" : [
{
"_key" : "something",
"_rev" : "...",
"value" : 1
},
{
"_key" : "something else",
"_rev" : "...",
"value" : 2
}
]
}
In the above example, previous versions of ArangoDB removed all attributes and
sub-attributes that started with underscores, meaning the embedded documents would lose
some of their attributes. 2.2.2 should preserve such attributes, and will also allow
storing user-defined attribute names on the top-level even if they start with underscores
(such as `_type` in the above example).
* fix conversion of JavaScript String, Number and Boolean objects to JSON.
Objects created in JavaScript using `new Number(...)`, `new String(...)`, or
`new Boolean(...)` were not converted to JSON correctly.
* fixed a race condition on task registration (i.e. `require("org/arangodb/tasks").register()`)
this race condition led to undefined behavior when a just-created task with no offset and
no period was instantly executed and deleted by the task scheduler, before the `register`
function returned to the caller.
* changed run-tests.sh to execute all suitable tests.
* switch to new version of gyp
* fixed upgrade button
