New Features:</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>
Improved scalability and throughput when using BTree databases
especially when running with multiple threads that equal or exceed the
number of available CPUs.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Berkeley DB has added support for C#. In addition to the new
C# api, C# specific tests and sample applications were also added.
[#16137]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Berkeley DB has added an STL API, which is compatible with and very
similar to C++ Standard Template Library (STL). Tests and
sample applications and documentation were also added. [#16217]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Berkeley DB has added database partitioning. BTree or Hash
databases may now be partitioned across multiple directories.
Partitioned databases can be used to increase concurrency and to
improve performance by spreading access across disk subsystems. [#15862]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Berkeley DB now supports bulk insertion and deletion of data.
Similar to the bulk get interface, the bulk put and bulk delete allow
the developer to populate a buffer of key-value pairs and then pass it
to the BDB library with a single API call.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Berkeley DB now supports compression when using BTree.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Berkeley DB introduces a new utility named db_sql which replaces
db_codegen. Similar to db_codegen, db_sql accepts an input file with
DDL statements and generates a Berkeley DB application using the C API
that creates and performs CRUD operations on the defined tables. The
developer can then use that code as a basis for further application
development.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
The Replication Manager now supports shared access to the Master
database environment from multiple processes. In earlier
versions, multiple process support on the Master required use of the
Base Replication API. [#15982]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Foreign Key Support has been added to Berkeley DB.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Several enhancements were made to DB_REGISTER & DB_ENV->failchk().
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Berkeley now supports 100% in-memory replication.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Berkeley DB now has the ability to compare two cursors for equality. [#16811]
</p>
</li>

Fixed a race freeing a transaction object when using MVCC. [#16381]

<li>
<p>
Fixed a bug related to updating multiple secondary keys (using DB_MULTIPLE). [#16885]
</p>
</li>
<li>

Fixed a bug so that verify (db->verify, db_verify) will now
report when it cannot read a page rather than just saying the database
is bad. [#16916]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Fixed a bug that could cause memory corruption if a transaction
allocating a page aborted while DB->compact was running on that
database. [#16862]

Fixed a bug where logging was occurring during remove of an in-memory database when
the DB_TXN_NOT_DURABLE flag was set. [#16571]

<p>
Fixed a bug to remove a race condition during database/file create. [#17020]

<li>
<p>
Fixed a bug to avoid accessing freed memory during puts on primaries with custom comparators. [#17189]

Btree Access Method Changes:</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>
Fixed a bug which could cause DB->compact to fail with DB_NOTFOUND

another thread while compact was active. The bug could also cause
a page split to trigger splitting of internal nodes which did not need
to be split. [#16192]

<p>
Fixed a bug that caused Db->compact to loop if run on an empty
RECNO database when there were pages in the free list. [#16778]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Added a new flag, DB_OVERWRITE_DUP, to DB->put and DBC->put.
This flag is equivalent to DB_KEYLAST in almost all cases: the exception is
that with sorted duplicates, if a matching key/data pair exists, we overwrite
it rather than returning DB_KEYEXIST. [#16803]

The db.jar file now contains a Premain class which enables bytecode
enhancement using the JVM instrumentation commands. The built-in proxy
classes are also now enhanced in the db.jar file, which enables

<li>
<p>
Improved testing of initial conditions for rep and repmgr APIs and added heartbeat timeouts to rep_get_timeout.[#14977]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Added DB_REP_CONF_INMEM replication configuration flag to store replication information
exclusively in-memory without creating any files on-disk. [#15257]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Added repmgr support for multi-process shared env [#15982]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Fixed a bug where opening a cursor from a database handle failed to
check whether the database handle was still fresh. If the database
handle had been invalidated by a replication client synchronizing with
a new master, it could point to invalid information. [#15990]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Fixed a bug so that if LOG_REQ gets an archived LSN, replication sends VERIFY_FAIL. [#16004]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Added timestamp and process/thread id to replication verbose messages. [#16098]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Fixed a bug where, in very rare circumstances, two repmgr sites
could connect to each other at the exact same time, the connection
attempts "collide" and fail, and the same collision repeats in time
synchronization indefinitely. [#16114]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Fixed a bug where a missing database file (FILE_FAIL error condition) can interrupt a
client synchronization without restarting it. [#16130]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Fixed a bug by adding REP_F_INREPSTART flag to prevent racing threads in rep_start. [#16247]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Fixed a bug to not return HOLDELECTION if we are already in the
middle of an election. Updated the egen so the election thread
will notice. [#16270]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Fixed a bug in buffer space computation, which could have led to
memory corruption in rare circumstances, when using bulk transfer.
[#16357]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Fixed a bug that prevented replication clients from opening a
sequence. The sequence is opened for read operations only.
[#16406]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Fixed a bug by removing an assertion about priority in elections. It is not correct
because it could have changed by then. Remove unused recover_gen
field. [#16412]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Fixed a bug to now ignore a message from client if it is an LSN not recognized in
a LOG_REQ. [#16444]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Fixed a bug so that on POSIX systems, repmgr no longer restores default
SIGPIPE action upon env close, if it was necessary to change it during
start-up. This allows remaining repmgr environments within the same
process, if any, to continue operating after one of them is closed. [#16454]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
After a replication client restarts with recovery, any named
in-memory databases are now re-materialized from the rest of the
replication group upon synchronization with the master. [#16495]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Fixed a bug by adding missing rep_get_config flags. [#16527]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Instead of sleeping if the bulk buffer is in transmission, return so that we can send as a singleton. [#16537]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Fixed a bug by changing __env_refresh to not hit assert on -private -rep env with an in-memory database. [#16546]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Fixed a bug in the Windows implementation of repmgr where a large number of commit threads concurrently awaiting
acknowledgments could result in memory corruption, and leaking
Win32 Event Objects.
[#16548]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Fixed a bug by changing repmgr to count a dropped connection when noticing a lacking
heartbeat; fixed hearbeat test to check for election, rather than connection
drop count, and more reasonable time limit; fixed test to poll until
desired result, rather than always sleeping max possible
time. [#16550]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Fixed "master changes" stat to count when local site becomes master too. [#16562]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Fixed a bug where a c2c client would send UPDATE_REQ to another client [#16592]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Removed code to proactively expire leases when we don't get acks.
Leases maintain their own LSNs to know. [#16494]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Fixed a bug where a client may not sync pages during internal init. [#16671]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Fixed a bug where a client that received and skipped a log record
from the master during an election, then won the election, could then
try to request a copy of the skipped log record. The result was
an attempt to send a request to the local site, which is invalid: this
could confuse a replication Base API application, or cause the
Replication Manager to crash. [#16700]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Fixed a bug which could have caused data loss or corruption (at the
client only) if a replication client rolled back existing transactions
in order to synchronize with a new master, and then crashed/recovered
before a subsequent checkpoint operation had been replicated from the
master. [#16732]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Fixed a bug so that replication now retries on DB_LOCK_NOTGRANTED. [#16741]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Fixed a potential deadlock in rep_verify_fail. [#16779]
</p>

given was smaller than number of sites that actually exists. [#16825]

updated a database that was supporting
READ_UNCOMMITED readers aborted and it hit a race
with a thread running the deadlock detector. [#16490]

Logging Subsystem Changes:</h3>

</div>
</div>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>
Fixed a bug so that the header checksum is only ignored when the log is from a previous version [#16281]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Fixed a bug by removing a possible race condition with logc_get(DB_FIRST) and log archiving. [#16387]

<li>
<p>
Fixed a bug that could cause a recovery failure of a create of a database that was aborted. [#16824]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
An in-memory database creation has an intermediate phase where we have a semi-open DBP. If
we crash in that state, then recovery was failing because it tried to use a partically open
database handle. This fix checks for that case, and avoids trying to undo page writes for
databases in that interim step. [#17203]

Fixed a bug so that __db_pthread_mutex_unlock() now handles the failchk case
of finding a busy mutex which was owned by a now-dead process. [#16557]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Removed support for the mutex implementation based on the "fcntl" system
call. Anyone configuring Berkeley DB to use this type of mutex in an
earlier release will need to either switch to a different mutex type
or contact Oracle for support. [#17470]
