[#5739]</li> <li>Add support for Degree 2 isolation. [#8689]</li> <li>Add election generation information to replication to support Paxos compliance.

[#8921]</li> <li>Add a new return error from the DB_ENV->open() method call, DB_VERSION_MISMATCH, which is returned in the case of an application compiled under one version of Berkeley DB attempting to open an environment created under a different version. [#9077]</li> <li>Add support for importing databases from a transactional database environment into a different environment. [#9324]</li> <li>Fix a bug where a core dump could occur if a zero-length database environment name was specified. [#9233]</li> <li>Increase the number of environment regions to 100. [#9297]</li> <li>Remove the DB_ENV->set_verbose() method flag DB_VERB_CHKPOINT. [#9405]</li> <li>Fix bugs where database environment getters could return incorrect information after the database environment was opened, if a different thread of control changed the database environment values. Fix bugs where database environment getter/setter functions could race with other threads of control. [#9724]</li> <li>Change the DbEnv.set_lk_detect method to match the DbEnv.open semantics. That is, DbEnv.set_lk_detect may be called after the database environment is opened, allowing applications to configure automatic deadlock detection if it has not yet been configured. [#9724]</li> <li>Fix cursor locks for environments opened without DB_THREAD so that they use the same locker ID. This eliminates many common cases of application self-deadlock, particularly in CDS. [#9742]</li> <li>Fix a bug in DB->get_env() in the C API where it could return an error when it should only return the DB_ENV handle. C++ and Java are unchanged. [#9828]</li> <li>Fix a bug where we only need to initialize the cryptographic memory region when MPOOL, Log or Transactions have been configured. [#9872]</li> <li>Change private database environments at process startup to only allocate the heap memory required at any particular time, rather than always allocating the maximum amount of heap memory configured for the environment. [#9889]</li> <li>Add a method to create nonexistent intermediate directories when opening database files. [#9898]</li> <li>Add support for in-memory logging within database environments. [#9927]</li> <li>Change Berkeley DB so configuring a database environment for automatic log file removal affects all threads in the environment, not just the DbEnv handle in which the configuration call is made. [#9947]</li> <li>Change the signature of the error callback passed to the DB_ENV->set_errcall and DB->set_errcall methods to add a DB_ENV handle, to provide database environment context for the callback function. [#10025]</li> <li>Fix a race condition between DB->close and DB->{remove,rename} on filesystems that don't allow file operations on open files (such as Windows). [#10180]</li> <li>Add a DB_DSYNC_LOG flag to the DbEnv::set_flags method, which configures O_DSYNC on POSIX systems and FILE_FLAG_WRITE_THROUGH on Win32 systems. This offers significantly better performance for some applications on certain Solaris/filesystem combinations. [#10205]</li> <li>Fix a bug where calling the DB or DBEnv database remove or rename methods could cause a transaction checkpoint or cache flush to fail. [#10286]</li> <li>Change file operations not to flush a file if it hasn't been written. [#10537]</li> <li>Remove 4GB restriction on region sizes on 64 bit machines. [#10668]</li> <li>Simplify the signature of substitute system calls for ftruncate and seek. [#10668]</li> <li>Change Berkeley DB so that opening an environment without specifying a home directory will cause the DB_CONFIG file in the current directory to be read, if it exists. [#11424]</li> <li>Fix a bug that caused a core dump if DB handles without associated database environments were used for database verification. [#11649]</li> <li>Fix Windows mutexes shared between processes run as different users. [#11985]</li> <li>Fix Windows mutexes for some SMP machines.

[#8934]</li> <li>Improve performance of DB->open() for existing subdatabases maintained within the same database file. [#9156]</li> <li>Add a new error, DB_BUFFER_SMALL, to differentiate from ENOMEM. The new error indicates that the supplied DBT is too small. ENOMEM is now always fatal. [#9314]</li> <li>Fix a bug when an update through a secondary index is deadlocked it is possible for the deadlock to be ignored, resulting in a partial update to the data. [#9492]</li> <li>Fix a bug where a record could get inserted into the wrong database when a page was deallocated from one subdatabase and reallocated to another subdatabase maintained within the same database file. [#9510]</li> <li>Enhance file allocation so that if the operating system supports decreasing the size of a file and the last page of the file is freed, it will be returned to the operating system. [#9620]</li> <li>Fix a bug where DB_RUNRECOVERY could be returned if there was no more disk space while aborting the allocation of a new page in a database. [#9643]</li> <li>Fix a bug where the cryptographic code could memcpy too many bytes. [#9648]</li> <li>Fix a bug with DB->join() cursors that resulted in a memory leak and incomplete results.
