</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>
Added an alternate storage format called blobs, which improves the read and update performance of very large data items. Interface available through C, C#, C++ and Java APIs. [#19332]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Added several pragmas to the SQL layer that configure and give information on HA SQL applications, such as the number of sites in the replication group, or configuring election priority of a site. [#20227]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Added a BDBSQL_CONCURRENT_CONNECTIONS flag to the SQL API to allow database locking to be disabled. Useful when there are only readers in the database. [#20928]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
When running Replication Manager in multiple processes, if the replication process quits and there is an available subordinate process, the subordinate process automatically takes over as the replication process. [#20969]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Added replication views/partial replication feature. Feature available through C, C#, C++ and Java APIs. [#21062]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
DPL enhancements to work with JDK7. [#21101]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Added encryption support for the Android JDBC driver. [#21129]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Applications which use snapshot isolation and long-running transactions will, in many instances, see reduced use of the cache. This leads to improved performance by reducing the need for temporary freezer files. [#21324]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Added mpool stat fields st_mvcc_resued, st_oddfsize_detect and st_oddfsize_resolve to C#. [#21325]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Added support database partitioning in C# APIs. [#21474]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Added a per-thread cache for the locker struct which stores lock identifiers, such as transaction ids or the locker id returned by DB_ENV->lock_id(). This can improve concurrency of programs which use DB_ENV->set_thread_count(). [#21591]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Port utilities to Windows Mobile. [#21636]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Expose 3 new repmgr stat values and a new DB_REPMGR_SITE flag value to C# and Java APIs. [#21687]
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Added support for localizing error messages in UTF-8 characters, and added a section about how to build localized library and an ICU example in Programmer's Reference Guide. [#21280]

Redundant whitespaces are now ignored in DB_CONFIG lines pertaining to directories. [#20158]

Fixed bugs when attempting to open non-DB files as if they were databases. If encryption was active, an assertion failure would occur. If encryption was not active, the error message "BDB0178 Encrypted database: no encryption flag" would incorrectly imply that a password was required. [#21408]

Fixed a bug where the calculation of the number of required master lease grants enforced that a transaction must be present on a strict majority of replication group sites.

Prepared transactions may not remove databases. An error EINVAL message will be returned by TXN->prepare() if the transaction removed any databases.

</li>
<li>
<p>
Databases containing BLOBs are not portable between machines of opposite endianness.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
The latest version of the ADO.NET driver uses a new database connection close function that does not clean up the database completely, leaving transactions active. In our build projects that we distribute we added the preprocessor definition INTEROP_LEGACY_CLOSE so the older version will be used. Removing this can cause hangs.
</p>
</li>

The db_log_verify utility does not currently implement support for the "-D" option. Also, the "-d" option does not work for an environment with multiple databases. For environments with sub-databases, some unexpected warnings will be thrown. [#22136]

Aborting a prepared transaction that removes a database or does operations on a blob cannot undo the operations (although the call to txn->prepare throws an error if a user tries to do that). [#22226]

Using the DB_FAILCHK flag with just the DB_RECOVER flag can cause processes to hang. DB_RECOVER will cause the environment to be rebuilt, and when DB_FAILCHK is specified, it runs fail check as the last step in the open. It is done afer the environment has been rebuilt. There isnt anything for fail check to really do in this case. The hang can occur if a separate process also uses this combination which would mean the environment is rebuilt again and it could conflict with the first process if it is doing the fail check.
