It may also be possible to simplify some applications. In previous releases of Berkeley DB, the DB_CURRENT, DB_NEXT, and DB_PREV flags to the log_get function could not be used by a free-threaded <a href="../../api_c/env_class.html">DB_ENV</a> handle. If their <a href="../../api_c/env_class.html">DB_ENV</a> handle was free-threaded, applications had to create an additional, unique environment handle by separately calling <a href="../../api_c/env_open.html">DB_ENV->open</a> without specifying <a href="../../api_c/env_open.html#DB_THREAD">DB_THREAD</a>. This is no longer an issue in the log cursor interface, and applications may be able to remove the now unnecessary creation of the additional <a href="../../api_c/env_class.html">DB_ENV</a> object.</p> <p>Finally, the <a href="../../api_c/log_stat.html">DB_ENV->log_stat</a> call has been changed in the 4.0 release to take a flags argument. To leave their historic behavior unchanged, applications should add a final argument of 0 to any calls made to <a href="../../api_c/log_stat.html">DB_ENV->log_stat</a>.</p> <table width="100%"><tr><td><br></td><td align=right><a href="../upgrade.4.0/lock.html"><img src="../../images/prev.gif" alt="Prev"></a><a href="../toc.html"><img src="../../images/ref.gif" alt="Ref"></a><a href="../upgrade.4.0/mp.html"><img src="../../images/next.gif" alt="Next"></a> </td></tr></table> <p><font size=1>Copyright (c) 1996,2008 Oracle.
