naryn 2.5.0

• Support concurrent sessions adding / deleting / modifying tracks. As long as the tracks files are not manipulated outside of naryn, sessions should always resync the changes at the beginning of a new transaction and hence access up-to-date version of tracks and up-to-date list of existing tracks. Manipulating track files outside of naryn requires emr_db.reload.
• emr_db.init: split load.on.demand parameter to global.load.on.demand and user.load.on.demand.
• emr_db.init: new ‘do.reload’ parameter.
• Run-time improvement in emr_db.init when load.on.demand==FALSE: previously - rebuild list of tracks. Currently - read track list from ‘.tracks’.
• Major run-time and memory consumption improvement in emr_db.reload: previously - rebuild list of tracks and reload all tracks into memory. Currently - rebuild list of tracks and reload outdated tracks (if load.on.demand==FALSE) or kick them out of memory (if load.on.demand==TRUE).
• emr_db.reload: while rebuilding the list DB gets locked, concurrent transactions will need to wait till the task completes.
• Currently - each transaction starts with fetching a track list from ‘.tracks’, if ‘.tracks’ had been modified between the transactions. Outdated tracks are unloaded from the memory (if load.on.demand==TRUE) or reloaded (if load.on.demand==FALSE).
  Previously - new transaction continues using old track list and outdated tracks up until emr_db.reload is called.
• Bug fix: ‘.ids’ file is reloaded in each transaction even if the updated version of it is already in the memory.
• emr_time2hour, emr_time2dayofmonth, emr_time2month, emr_time2year, emr_date2time do not require anymore to open a database.

naryn 2.4.4

• Removed MINID/MAXID constants from global environment.

• Bug fix in Time Intervals iterator: in some cases ids outside of subset might be produced.
• DB cache file format has changed. The file is now called ‘.tracks’. The first call to emr_db.init will recreate this file after a full DB reload.

naryn 2.4.3

• Removed MINTIME/MAXTIME constants from global environment.
• All functions receiving stime/etime parameters and an iterator: defaults can no longer be used for stime/etime when the iterator type is Ids, Beat or Extended Beat.

naryn 2.4.2

• Bug fix in emr_track.info: returned path is NULL.

naryn 2.4.1

• More robust handling of .naryn-cache file when several users simultaneously add / delete tracks. Might resolve various glitches when emr_db.reload() is needed.

naryn 2.3.11

• Bug fix in emr_filter.ls: if filters exist with src based on user space tracks, only these filters are returned
• Bug fix in emr_vtrack.ls: if virtual tracks exist with src based on user space tracks, only these virtual tracks are returned
• Run time optimizations in emr_filter.create and emr_vtrack.create

naryn 2.3.7

naryn 2.3.6

naryn 2.3.5

• Bug fix: MINTIME/MAXTIME may be wrongly set. As a result performance might be compromised and invalid results might be produced when defaults are used for stime,etime. Please call emr_db.reload() to set the correct values!
