The following improvements and bug fixes were reported prior to the v.3.0.0 Beta 1 release:

Core Engine

(CORE-4576)     The Cache Writer thread could not start.

fixed by V. Khorsun

    ~ ~ ~     

(CORE-4574)     Regression: Incorrect result in subquery with aggregate.

fixed by A. dos Santos Fernandes

    ~ ~ ~     

(CORE-4570)     ALTER PACKAGE was returning a wrong error.

fixed by A. dos Santos Fernandes

    ~ ~ ~     

(CORE-4566)     Incorrect size of the output parameter or argument when EXECUTE BLOCK, procedure or function used a system field in the metadata character set.

fixed by A. Peshkov

    ~ ~ ~     

(CORE-4565)     GDSCODE could have value = 0 in WHEN-section under some concurrent environments. This bug affected Superclassic and Classic models but not Superserver.

fixed by V. Khorsun

    ~ ~ ~     

(CORE-4555)     A DDL trigger was remaining active after being dropped.

fixed by A. dos Santos Fernandes

    ~ ~ ~     

(CORE-4530)     A DB_KEY based join of two tables could be ineffective.

fixed by D. Yemanov

    ~ ~ ~     

(CORE-4522)     DDL permissions were not protecting against removal of BLOB filters.

fixed by R. Simakov

    ~ ~ ~

fixed by D. Yemanov

    ~ ~ ~     

(CORE-4505)     Use of a named cursor would fail if a statement was not executed.

fixed by A. Peshkov

    ~ ~ ~     

(CORE-4488)     A FOR SELECT <L> FROM <T> AS CURSOR <C> seems to return a wrong result if table <T> is modified inside the cursor's BEGIN...END block. Cursor references, which are not variables, should represent the current state of the record. If it was updated "in place" (via "where current of"), then cursor references should return the new values. The first example reported in CORE-4488 should return NULLs.
