This version requires the use of an update script for existing installations. For instructions, see:

[https://github.com/message-db/message-db/blob/master/database/update/1.3.0.md](https://github.com/message-db/message-db/blob/master/database/update/1.3.0.md)

- The `get_last_stream_message` function can receive an optional `type` argument that constrains the result to the last message of a stream of a specified message type (see: [http://docs.eventide-project.org/user-guide/message-db/server-functions.html#get-last-message-from-a-stream](http://docs.eventide-project.org/user-guide/message-db/server-functions.html#get-last-message-from-a-stream))
- The database installation scripts terminate on error, rather than proceeding with the rest of the installation when a script error occurs

- The `uninstall.sh` script quotes the database name when dropping it, allowing database names that contain dashes

- The `print-messages.sh` script sorts messages explicitly by `global_position`

- The `messages` tables columns are ordered for more efficient physical storage allocation.

This version should not be considered an update to an existing database. It requires a new installation of the database, and therefore its advantages will only apply to new databases.

- The `md5` function is no longer granted privileges for the message_store user as the function is built-in and the grant is superfluous
