Previously the plug was just pulled. + * It is now a fatal error to explicitly close an environment if there + is still an open database; a database when there are open cursors or + an open transaction; and a cursor if there is an open transaction. + Using object destruction doesn't have this issue, as object + references will ensure everything gets closed in the correct order. + * The BOOT code now checks that the version of db.h & libdb are the + same - this seems to be a common problem on Linux. + * MLDBM support added. + * Support for the new join cursor added. + * Builds with Berkeley DB 3.x + * Updated dbinfo for Berkeley DB 3.x file formats. + * Deprecated the TxnMgr class.

The correct behaviour is that the cursor + should be closed before committing/aborting the transaction. + |
