What we fixed
- ILP: check for buffer overflow on writer queue (#1365)

longtoGeoHashimplementation (#1319) - SQL: fix
lt joinfor equal timestamps (#1321) - CORE: we no longer map files to the length of file from the filesystem, we map them to the size received through a transaction "message"
- CORE: we were silently mapping files to filesystem length rather than the required size. We now always map to the required size and report when this is not possible
- CORE: the structure of the "index" column for variable-size columns has changed. It contains
N + 1entries with the last entry being the size of the variable-length column - CORE: truncated column files to OS page size to avoid undefined behaviour on pages used by readers
- CORE: fixed an issue with truncating
symbol.dcolumn on Windows where the order of closing files was incorrect
