2005.02.11 1.8.0.RC8

-Fixed minor bugs

-Added public shutdown() method to Server.

-A new application log has been introduced as an optional feature. The
property/value pair
"hsqldb.applog=1" can be used in the first connection string to log
some important messages.
The default is "hsqldb.applog=0", meaning no logging. A file with the
ending ".app.log" is
generated alongside the rest of the database files for this purpose.

-In the current version only the classes used for file persistence
(different in OpenOffice.org),
plus any error encountered while processing the .log file after an
abnormal end is logged.

-Bob Preston has updated the text table support to accept new line
characters inside quoted
strings. It is still not possible to create / modify a row containing a
new line inside the engine.
This will be a simple upgrade and will be included in the next RC.

==Note that the JDBC driver and the engine for 1.8.0 cannot be mixed
with those of earlier
versions in client/server setup. Check your classpaths and use the same
version of the engine
for both client and server.==

2005.01.28 1.8.0.RC7

-Fixed minor bugs
