VOSS 3.145.00.10 (beta) is now available for download.
New feature in this release is Persistent Continuation Transactions.
An open VOContinuationTransaction which has committed any number of alternative futures for its set of objects in continuation sub-transactions may now itself be persisted, or persisted & deactivated which removes the live transaction from the image, allowing log-off and shutdown.
Whilst the persisted continuation transaction exists, it and all its objects are persistently set read-only in the name of that transaction. Whilst deactivated it may be re-activated from the Control Panel or by program message sending, to re-create the live open transaction.
Persistent transactions are useful in design or what-if type of applications, where transactions may extend over days of revision and re-working of different saved possible final states, until a final commit is chosen.

on this post VOSS 3.145.00.09 (beta) is now available for download.
This release has changed commit behaviour of sub-transactions within a Continuation Transaction, such that if such a sub-transaction has a non-nil #dateAndTimeToRead (i.e. it sees only read-only historical versions of objects) then, if it is committed, it commits all the objects then locked in its parent Continuation Transaction (including its own objects), whether changed or not - the changed ones as changed, the unchanged ones as at their respective states at that #dateAndTimeToRead - as changes to their current (most recent, read/write) versions. (In the previous release (beta .08) only those objects which the sub-transaction had changed were committed.) Read the rest of this entry »
