Changes 6.2.23:
New Features/Improvements
-------------------------
Added support for global message prefixes.
Added Replication Manager write forwarding, which enables a client to perform \
simple put and delete operations by forwarding them to the master.
Improved the way we mark a password as consumed.
Added support for IPv6.
Added support for Java 8.
Added support for ARMv7 and above, and for ARM64. ARMv6 and below are no longer \
supported.
Add a new SMP-optimized data model that is especially valuable for highly \
multithreaded applications. A sliced Berkeley DB instance contains a collection \
of related Berkeley DB environments, known as slices, each containing a disjoint \
subset of records. Transactional consistency is individually maintained within \
each slice, rather than across multiple slices.
DB now supports the client-server architecture by providing a stand-alone server \
program and Java client driver APIs. The server program offers remote access to \
DB features. The client driver APIs provide building blocks for applications \
that communicate with a database server. Multiple client applications can \
communicate with a single server simultaneously.
Enabled support of the SQLite user authentication extension.
Added Visual Studio 2012 projects.
Encryption and checksum can now be enabled with external files (formerly known \
as BLOBs). Note that only the data stored in the database will be encrypted and \
checksum protected. The data in the external files will not be encrypted or \
checksum protected.
The BLOB files feature has been renamed external files to reduce confusion with \
the SQL BLOB datatype. The BLOB related functions have been deprecated, and \
replaced with new function names; for example, ext_file_threshold has replaced \
blob_threshold, and blob_threshold is deprecated. See the Upgrading section of \
the documentation for more details.
