Major Release Date Release Description
5.5

(Seneca)

(Lyra)
05/03/07 5.0 SP3 Improved criteria pushdown for left and right outer joins. Upgraded MetaIntegration bridge to version 5.1.1. Added support for ERwin 7 import. Improved indexing service by synchronizing the processing by model ID. This means that if a request is made on the same model, that they will be queued in order so that they are processed one-at-a-time. Also, Connector bindings are now scoped to VDBs.
11/30/06 5.0 SP2 Virtual procedures can now contain dynamic criteria, composed during the execution of the procedure. Our message structure visualization enhancements started in SP1 were further improved in this release, allowing editing of datatypes when navigating a complex XML schema.  Enhanced functionality for selecting and editing inputs for Web service operations in the Designer.
8/7/06 5.0 SP1 Lots of new functionality. We added 'native' support for XML sources, with a new XML Service model type, XML connectors, and XQuery-based XML Service Views; all integrated through the MetaMatrix query engine. Designer sports a new input parameter editor to make it easier to define XPaths to convert from doc-literal XSDs to scalar parameters. Modeling of XML messages also got easier, with hierarchical views showing leaf-structures. A new diagnostics packager has been added to make it easier to interact with MetaMatrix Tech Support. A new Web Service importer makes it easier than ever to define a Relational model for automatically transforming Web service XML structure to flattened relational, when you need to integrate with other relational sources.
6/1/06 5.0 Two new products: MetaMatrix Dimension and MetaMatrix Query. Automatic generation of Web services from multiple relational sources in MetaMatrix Designer. Cost-based optimization and significant performance improvements in the Enterprise Server. Support for Apache Derby, MySQL, and PostgreSQL data sources. Introduction of the Dev Central community Web site.
