update

It seems that the most eye-catching difference between Oracle database versions 19.5 and 19.4 is three underscore parameters spare parameters being changed to specifically named underscore parameters, two of them have a bug number in them which is not publicly visible.

In v$sysstat/v$sesstat, a group of statistics are renamed from ‘OS %’ to ‘Server %’. All these statistics are about networking. One changed parameter directly points to networking (tcpinfo). These statistics are added in version 19.

One DBA view was added: DBA_DV_COMMON_OPERATION_STATUS. This view is specific and owned by to DVSYS.

Java and Oracle expert Lukas Eder tweeted yesterday about a potential optimization that could be done when reviewing database SQL code.

WordPress 3.8 has arrived. The download and changelog are in the usual places.

The admin interface has had quite a big redesign. I think it looks neater, but I’m sure it will take a bit of getting used to. The nice thing is it’s mobile aware now. If I run it on my Nexus 7 in landscape I get something similar to the browser view. If I switch to portrait it rearranges the screen to make it fit better. Neat.

The auto-updater (manually initiated) worked fine on 5 blogs, so not worries there.

WordPress 3.7 has been released. The downloads are in the usual place.

I updated 5 blogs with not hassles.

It’s worth having a read of this, which mentions the automatic updates that could happen without your intervention… Sounds kind of scary to me.

Happy upgrading, possibly for the last time…

Cheers

WordPress 3.6 has arrived. You can read about it here.

I did the upgrade using the auto-update feature and it worked fine, as always.

Happy upgrading.

Cheers

VirtualBox 4.2.4 has been released. Downloads and changelog in the usual places.

I’ve literally not had chance to upgrade all by VMs with the guest additions since the update released last week.

Happy upgrading.

I knew there was something missing from my life. It seems ages since I’ve updated all my VirtualBox guest additions.

VirtualBox 4.2.2 is available, with the changelog and downloads in the usual place.

Happy upgrading.

I’ve not finished updating my VirtualBox guest additions for 4.1.20 and here comes 4.1.22.

You can find the changelog and downloads in the usual places.

Happy upgrading!

VirtualBox 4.1.20 has just dropped, as reported here. The changelog and downloads are in the usual places.

I wonder how long it will be until the final version of 4.2 drops?

Happy upgrading!
