[#701] + +* Use hardware checksum instructions when available. [#582, #702] + +* Several bug fixes related to tracking active transaction IDs and detection of + obsolete updates with high concurrency workloads. [#639, #643, #657, #683] + +* Fix several bugs in LSM including races on shutdown and Bloom filter + creation. [#686, #687, #688]. + +* Fix a bug in LSM where we were not including Bloom filter files in backups. + [#684] + +* Optimize the LSM throttle and merge algorithms.
