simplifies multiprocess application architectures. Add DB_REGISTER flag
to DB_ENV->open(). [#11511]</li>
<li>Add utility for performing hot backups of a database environment.
[#11536]</li>
<li>Add replication configuration API. [#12110]</li>
<li>Add replication support to return error instead of waiting for
client sync to complete. [#12110]</li>
<li>Add replication support for delayed client synchronization. [#12110]</li>
<li>Add replication support for client-to-client synchronization.
[#12110]</li>
<li>Add replication support for bulk transfer. [#12110]</li>
<li>Add new flags DB_DSYNC_DB and DB_DSYNC_LOG [12941]</li>

formatted strings into the Berkeley DB database environment log.

<li>Add a feature to support arbitrary alignment of mutexes in order to
minimize cache line collisions. [#9580]</li>
<li>Change cache regions on 64-bit machines to allow regions larger than
4GB. [#10668]</li>
<li>Fix a bug where a loop could occur if the application or system
failed during modification of the linked list of shared regions.
[#11532]</li>
<li>Fix mutex alignment on Linux/PA-RISC, add test-and-set mutexes for
MIPS and x86_64. [#11575]</li>
<li>Fix a bug where private database environments (DB_PRIVATE) on 64-bit
machines would core dump because of 64-bit address truncation. [#11983]</li>
<li>Fix a bug where freed memory is accessed when DB_PRIVATE
environments are closed. This can happen on systems where the operating
system holds mutex resources that must be freed when the mutex is
destroyed. [#12591]</li>
<li>Fix a bug where the DbEnv.stat_print method could self-deadlock and
hang. The DbEnv.stat_print method no longer displays statistics for any
of the database environments databases. [#12039]</li>
<li>Fix a bug where Berkeley DB could create fragmented
filesystem-backed shared region files. [#12125]</li>
<li>Fix a bug where Berkeley DB stat calls could report a cache size of
0 after the statistics were cleared. [#12307]</li>
<li>Threads of control joining database environments are now configured
for all of the subsystems (lock, log, cache, or transaction) for which
the environment was originally configured, it is now an error to attempt
configuration of additional subsystems after an environment is created.
[#12422]</li>
<li>Fix a bug where negative percentages could be displayed in
statistics output. [#12673]</li>
<li>Fix a bug that could cause a panic if the cache is filled with
non-logging updated pages. [#12763]</li>
<li>Fix a bug that could cause an unreported deadlock if the application
was using the DB_DIRTY_READ flag and the record was an off page
duplicate record. [#12893]</li>
<li>Fix a bug where a handle lock could be incorrectly retained during
a delete or rename operation. [#12906]</li>

Rename DB_DIRTY (and all related flags) to DB_READ_UNCOMMITTED. [#11776]</li>
<li>Fix a bug where wrapping of sequences was incorrect when the cache
size is smaller than the range of the maximum value minus the minimum
value. [#11997]</li>
<li>Fix a bug that could result in a hot backup having a page missing
from a database file if a file truncation was in progress during the
backup but was then aborted. [#12017]</li>
<li>Fix a bug where a long filename could cause one too few bytes to
be allocated when opening a file. [#12085]</li>

</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>Binding performance has been improved by using System.arraycopy in
the FastOutputStream and FastInputStream utility classes. [#12002]</li>
<li>The objectToEntry method is now implemented in all TupleBinding
subclasses (IntegerBinding, etc) so that tuple bindings are fully
nestable. An example of this usage is a custom binding that dynamically
discovers the data types of each of the properties of a Java bean class.
For each property, it calls TupleBinding.getPrimitiveBinding using the
property's type (class). When the custom binding's objectToEntry method
is called, it in turn calls the objectToEntry method of the nested
bindings for each property. [#12124]</li>
<li>The getCause method for IOExceptionWrapper and
RuntimeExceptionWrapper is now defined so that nested exceptions appear
in stack traces for exceptions thrown by the collections API. [#11992]</li>
<li>TupleBinding.getPrimitiveBinding can now be passed a primitive type
class as well as a primitive wrapper class. The return value for
Integer.TYPE and Integer.class, for example, will be the same binding.
[#12035]</li>
<li>Improvements have been made to prevent the buffer used in serial and
tuple bindings from growing inefficiently, and to provide more
alternatives for the application to specify the desired size. For
details see com.sleepycat.bind.serial.SerialBase and
com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.TupleBase. [#12398]</li>
<li>Add StoredContainer.getCursorConfig, deprecate isDirtyRead.
Deprecate StoredCollections.dirtyReadMap (dirtyReadSet, etc) which is
replaced by configuredMap (configuredSet, etc). Deprecated
StoredContainer.isDirtyReadAllowed with no replacement (please use
DatabaseConfig.getDirtyRead). Also note that
StoredCollections.configuredMap (configuredSet, etc) can be used to
configure read committed and write lock containers, as well as read
uncommitted containers, since all CursorConfig properties are supported.
[#11776]</li>
<li>Add the protected method SerialBinding.getClassLoader so that
subclasses may return a specific or dynamically determined class loader.
Useful for applications which use multiple class loaders, including
applications that serialize Groovy-defined classes. [#12764] [#12749]</li>
