New Built-in Functions

miva_struct_member_callback( struct var, function, data var )

This function can be used to dynamically populate structure members as they are accessed

Parameters:

• struct- The structure on which to perform the callback function
• function- The callback function that will be triggered when a member does not exist in the structure (if the callback function is empty, the callback will be disabled)
• data- The data that will be passed to the callback function

Return Value:

• Empty

Example MivaScript code:

<MvEVAL EXPR = "{ miva_struct_member_callback( l.struct, 'CustomCallback', l.data ) }">

<MvFUNCTION NAME = "CustomCallback" PARAMETERS = "struct var, member, data var" STANDARDOUTPUTLEVEL = "">
</MvFUNCTION> CustomCallback( struct var, member, data var )

Parameters:

• struct- The structure that had the member accessed
• member- The member that was accessed
• data- The data that was passed to miva_struct_member_callback

Return Value:

• The value that should be assigned to the structure member.

MySQL Connector Changes

• Added the ability to have write segregation. By default, the write connection assumes the read connection's host, port, user, password, and database.
• The following are commands that can be issued via MvDBCOMMANDto change the write connection’s values.
  • write_host
  • write_port
  • write_user
  • write_password
  • write_db

Other

• Added the following values to MvCALL FLAGattribute:
  • force_https- This flag will only connect to the specified host if done so over HTTPS.

If the HTTPS protocol is not used, MvCALL will raise an error.

• force_verify- This flag will force certificate chain verification / IP verification even when the engine is configured to not to perform chain / hostname verification.
• Added certificate pinning to MvCALLwith the following attributes:
  • PIN-ALGORITHM- The algorithm to use to verify the connected server's certificate e.g. sha1, sha256, etc.
  • PIN-DIGESET- The binary value that should be used to compare against the connected server's certificate
• Addeds.callservercertificateas a system variable within an MvCALLtag. This variable will return the server's certificate in PEM format.
• An MVBRedis.DLLlibrary is now distributed with the Windows installer which will allow MivaScript code using redisfunctios to compile. It should be noted that redisis not supported on Windows and this library will return “Unsupported” forredis_last_errorand 0 for all other redisfunctions. It was only added so developers could compile code related to redison Windows, but the binary will need to be run on UNIX based systems.

StoreMorph Changes

• Added <mvt:capture variable="l.data"></mvt:capture>
• Added the pin-algorithmand pin-digestattributes to<mvt:call>

Added <mvt:capture variable="l.data"></mvt:capture>

And the minion masses flood the streets in glorious praise!
