A Few Small Updates to Message DB

Eventide Project Team Message DB, Update

Message DB was released last week after incubating for three years in the Eventide Project as its message store implementation.

There were a number of significant changes made to the implementation in the transition from its life as Eventide’s Postgres Message Store (formerly evt-message_store-postgres-database) to its existence as a standalone project.

As existing users started getting hands-on with the new implementation and upgrading their databases to Message DB v1, a couple of bloopers were spotted.

A handful of small updates were made this week. Here are the details:
