<li>The lock manager may now be fully partitioned, improving performance
on some multi-CPU systems. [#15880]</li>
<li>Replication groups are now architecture-neutral, supporting
connections between differing architectures (big-endian or
little-endian, independent of structure padding). [#15787] [#15840]</li>
<li>Java: A new Direct Persistence Layer adds a built-in Plain Old Java Object (POJO)-based
persistent object model, which provides support for complex object models without
compromises in performance. For an introduction to the Direct Persistence Layer
API, see Getting Started with Data Storage. [#15936]</li>
<li>Add the DB_ENV->set_intermediate_dir_mode method to support the
creation of intermediate directories needed during recovery. [#15097]</li>
<li>The DB_ENV->failchk method can now abort transactions for threads,
which have failed while blocked on a concurrency lock. This
significantly decreases the need for database environment recovery after
thread of control failure. [#15626]</li>
<li>Replication Manager clients now can be configured to monitor the
connection to the master using heartbeat messages, in order to promptly
discover connection failures. [#15714]</li>
<li>The logging system may now be configured to pre-zero log files when
they are created, improving performance on some systems. [#15758]</li>

product on systems, which do not support ftruncate. [#15602]</li>

transaction which included a failed open of that handle could result in
application failure. [#15650]</li>
<li>Fix minor memory leaks when closing a private database environment.
[#15663]</li>
<li>Fix a bug leading to a panic of "unpinned page returned" if a cursor
was used for a delete multiple times and deadlocked during one of the
deletes. [#15944]</li>

recovery. [#15984]</li>

<li>Fix bug in the DB->compact method which could cause a panic if a
thread was about to release a page while another thread was truncating
the database file. [#15671]</li>
<li>Fix an obscure case of interaction between a cursor scan and delete that was prematurely returning DB_NOTFOUND. [#15785]</li>
<li>Fix a bug in the DB->compact method where if read-uncommitted was
configured, a reader reading uncommitted data my see an inconsistent
entry between when the compact method detects an error and when it
aborts the enclosing transaction. [#15856]</li>
<li>Fix a bug in the DB->compact method where a thread of control
mail fail if two threads are compacting the same section of a Recno
database. [#15856]</li>
<li>Fix a bug in DB->compact method, avoid an assertion failure when zero pages
can be freed. [#15965]</li>
<li>Fix a bug return a non-zero error when DB->truncate is called with open cursors.
[#15973]</li>
<li>Fix a bug add HANDLE_DEAD checking for DB cursors. [#15990]</li>
<li>Fix a bug to now generate errors when DB_SEQUENCE->stat is called without
first opening the sequence. [#15995]</li>

is disabled. [#16095]</li>

<li>A new Direct Persistence Layer adds a built-in Plain Old Java Object (POJO)-based persistent object model, which provides support for complex object models without compromises in performance. For an introduction to the Direct Persistence Layer API, see Getting Started with Data Storage. [#15936]</li>
<li>Fixed a bug in the remove method of the Iterator instances returned by the StoredCollection.iterator method in the collections package. This bug caused ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in some cases when calling next, previous, hasNext or hasPrevious after calling remove. (Note that this issue does not apply to StoredIterator instances returned by the StoredCollection.storedIterator method.) This bug was reported in this forum thread: <a class="ulink" href="https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=2187896" target="_top">https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=2187896</a> [#15858]</li>
<li>Fixed a bug in the remove method of the StoredIterator instances returned by StoredCollection.storedIterator method in the collections package. If the sequence of methods next-remove-previous was called, previous would sometimes return the removed record. If the sequence of methods previous-remove-next was called, next would sometimes return the removed record. (Note that this issue does not apply to Iterator instances returned by the StoredCollection.iterator method.) [#15909]</li>
<li>Fixed a bug that causes a memory leak for applications where many Environment objects are opened and closed and the CurrentTransaction or TransactionRunner class is used. The problem was reported in this JE Forum thread: <a class="ulink" href="https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=1782659" target="_top">https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=1782659</a> [#15444] </li>
<li>Added StoredContainer.areKeyRangesAllowed method. Key ranges and the methods
in SortedMap and SortedSet such as subMap and subSet are now explicitly disallowed
for RECNO and QUEUE databases -- they are only supported for BTREE databases.
Before, using key ranges in a RECNO or QUEUE database did not work, but was not
explicitly prohibited in the Collections API. [#15936] </li>

<li>The Berkeley DB Tcl API does not attempt to avoid evaluating input
as Tcl commands. For this reason, it may be dangerous to pass unreviewed
user input through the Berkeley DB Tcl API, as the input may
subsequently be evaluated as a Tcl command. To minimize the
effectiveness of a Tcl injection attack, the Berkeley DB Tcl API in the
4.7 release routine resets process' effective user and group IDs to the
real user and group IDs. [#15597]</li>

<li>Fix a bug where replication could re-request missing records on

<li>Change the DB_ENV->rep_set_request method to use time, not the

client. [#15629]</li>

<li>Change dbenv->rep_set_request to use time-based values instead of counters. [#15682]</li>
<li>Fix a bug where a LOCK_NOTGRANTED error could be returned from the
DB_ENV->rep_process_message method, instead of being handled
internally by replication. [#15685]</li>
<li>Fix a bug where the Replication Manager would reject a fresh
connection from a remote site that had crashed and restarted, displaying
the message: "redundant incoming connection will be ignored". [#15731]</li>
<li>The Replication Manager now supports dynamic negotiation of the best
available wire protocol version, on a per-connection basis. [#15783]</li>

initialization under the Replication Manager, as evidenced by "queue limit
exceeded" messages in verbose replication diagnostic output. [#15788]</li>
<li>Fix a bug where replication control message were not portable between
replication clients with different endian architectures. [#15793]</li>
<li>Add a configuration option to turn off Replication Manager's special
handling of elections in 2-site groups. [#15873]</li>
<li>Fix a bug making it impossible to call replicationManagerAddRemoteSite
in the Java API after having called replicationManagerStart. [#15875]</li>
<li>Fix a bug where the DB_EVENT_REP_STARTUPDONE event could be
triggered too early. [#15887]</li>
<li>Fix a bug where the rcvd_ts timestamp is reset when the user just changes the threshold.
[#15895]</li>
<li>Fix a bug where the master in a 2-site replication group might wait
for client acknowledgement, even when there was no client connected.
[#15927]</li>
<li>Fix a bug, clean up and restart internal init if master log is gone.
[#16006]</li>
<li>Fix a bug, ignore page messages that are from an old internal init.
[#16075] [#16059]</li>
<li>Fix a bug where checkpoint records do not indicate a database was a named in-memory
database. [#16076]</li>
<li>Fix a bug with in-memory replication, where we returned with the log region mutex
held in an error path, leading to self-deadlock. [#16088]</li>
<li>Fix a bug which causes the DB_REP_CHECKPOINT_DELAY setting in rep_set_timeout()
to be interpreted in seconds, rather than microseconds. [#16153]</li>
