Auto convert global directory to endianness of current architecture
Final Release Note
When GDE opens a global directory file, it converts the global directory file to the endianness of the current architecture. Previously, this would result in an ZGBLDIRACC error. After conversion, if the global directory needs upgrading to the current release of YottaDB, existing logic performs such a conversion. Although all YottaDB platforms are little endian, this facilitates upgrading to YottaDB from versions of the upstream software on big endian platforms. [#524 (closed)]
