There were no public interface changes or new features. <h3>Bug Fixes:</h3> <ol> <p><li> Fix potential races in updating checkpoint buffer counts that can cause checkpoint calls to never finish. <p><li> Fix for XA support, allows two-phase commit processing to work. <p><li> Fix a recovery bug when database files are opened/closed multiple times in the same session. <p><li> Change file descriptor usage to permit Sendmail's fcntl(2) locking scheme. <p><li> Fix ANSI C++ usage to avoid GNU gcc-2.95 warning messages. <p><li> If there are a sufficient number of threads competing for limited numbers of pages, it's possible to split Btree pages too many times, and cause a core dump. <p><li> Fix a case where it was possible for EAGAIN to not be returned from the database get-by-key interface. <p><li> Ignore log records not involved in transactions so that actions taken outside of transactions are not undone during recovery. <p><li> Fix a memory pool race during buffer discard in memory tight environments. </ol> <h3>Other Changes:</h3> <ol> <p><li> Update the Berkeley DB release version numbers from 2.7.5 to 2.7.7. </ol> </body> </html>
