### Improvements

- [object_list] Supported to show more properties such as `value_size` and `n_elements` in metadata.

- Fixed to ensure clearing output buffer for each grn_ctx_send. This change solves sometimes response may broken. [GitHub#330]

- [groonga-httpd] Fixed a bug that wrong HTTP status is set on success.
- [fuzzy_search][in_values] Fixed to resolve record id correctly on sequential search. [GitHub#591,#592,#593] [Patch by Naoya Murakami]

- [experimental] Added `GRN_II_MAX_N_SEGMENTS_TINY` and `GRN_II_MAX_N_CHUNKS_TINY` environment variables to customize the value about default max N segments/chunks. This feature is affected to index column for fixed size scalar column. It reduces memory usage but not tested widely yet.

- Improved performance for using [between] without index. By between() optimization, there is a case that range search is 100x faster than the previous version of between().

- [record_number] Supported window function.

- [experimental][select] Supported `--slices`.

- [select] Deprecated `--sortby` and `--drilldown_sortby`. Use `--sort_keys` and `-drilldown_sort_keys` instead.
