handle. [#11886]</li>

<ol type="1">
<li>Add support to close open file handles in the case of catastrophic
database environment failure so applications that do not exit and
restart on failure won't leak file handles. [#6538]</li>
<li>Replace the Berkeley DB shared memory allocator with a new
implementation, intended to decrease the performance drop-off seen in
database environments having working sets that are larger than the
cache, especially database environments with multiple cache page sizes.
[#13122]</li>
<li>Fix a bug that would incorrectly cause a thread to appear to be
in the Berkeley DB API after a call to db_create. [#14562]</li>
<li>Allow database close prior to resolving all transactions updating
the database. [#14785]</li>
<li>Fix a bug where the db_stat utility -Z flag and the statistics
method's DB_STAT_CLEAR flag could clear mutex statistics too quickly,
leading to incorrect values being displayed. [#15032]</li>
<li>Fix a bug where removal of a file after and open/close pair spanning
the most recent checkpoint log-sequence-numbers made recovery fail.
[#15092]</li>
<li>Fix a bug that could leave an environment unrecoverable if FTRUNCATE
was not set and a roll-forward to a timestamp was interrupted between the
truncation of the log and the recording of aborted allocations. [#15108]</li>
<li> Fix a bug where recovery of a rename operation could fail if the
rename occurred in a directory that no longer existed. [#15119]</li>
<li>Fix a bug that could cause recovery to report a "File exists"
error if a committed create was partially recovered by a previously
failed recovery operation. [#15151]</li>
<li>Fix a bug where the DbEnv.get_thread_count method implementation was
missing from the Berkeley DB 4.5 release. [#15201]</li>
<li>Fix a bug where replication operations were not reported properly
when the DbEnv.failchk method was called. [#15094]</li>
<li> Fixed a bug that caused SEQ->remove not to use a transaction
if the sequence was opened on a transactional database handle but no
transaction was specified on the call. [#15235]</li>
<li>Fix a bug where accesses to the database environment reference count
could race, causing the DB_ENV->remove method to incorrectly remove
or not remove a database environment. [#15240]</li>
<li>Fix a bug that could cause a recovery failure if a partial record
was written near the end of a log file before a crash and then never
overwritten after recovery runs and before a log file switch occurs.
[#15302]</li>
<li>Fix a bug that could fire a diagnostic assertion if an error occurred
during a database environment open. [#15309]</li>
<li> Fix a bug where memp_trickle attempts to flush an infinite number
of buffers. [#15342]</li>

<li>Fix a bug which could cause application failure if the open of a
subdatabase failed while other database opens were happening. [#15346]</li>

properly if the transaction was started before the transaction IDs were
reset but did not put its first record into the log until after the
txn_recycle record. [#15400]</li>
<li>Fix a bug that could cause a thread in cache allocation to loop
infinitely. [#15406]</li>
<li>Fix a bug that could cause recovery to report a Log Sequence Error
on systems without the ftruncate system call where a page allocation
occurred and the database metadata page was forced out of cache without
being marked dirty and then had to be recovered. [#15441]</li>
<li>Fix a bug on systems lacking the ftruncate system call, where a page
may be improperly linked into the free list if archive recovery was done
in multiple steps, that is, applying additional logs to the same
databases. [#15557]</li>

<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>Change SerialBinding to use the current thread's context class
loader when loading application classes. This allows the JE jar file
to be deployed in application servers and other containers as a shared
library rather than as an application jar. [#15447]</li>
<li>Tuple bindings now support the java.math.BigInteger type. Like other
tuple binding values, BigInteger values are sorted in natural integer
order by default, without using a custom comparator. For details please
see the Javadoc for: com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.TupleInput.readBigInteger
com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.TupleOutput.writeBigInteger
com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.BigIntegerBinding [#15244]</li>
<li>Add tuple binding methods for reading and writing packed int and
long values. Packed integer values take less space, but take slightly
more processing time to read and write. See: TupleInput.readPackedInt
TupleInput.getPackedIntByteLength TupleInput.readPackedLong
TupleInput.getPackedLongByteLength TupleOutput.writePackedInt
TupleOutput.writePackedLong PackedInteger [#15422]</li>
<li>The Collections API has been enhanced so that auto-commit works for
the standard Java Iterator.remove(), set() and add() methods. Previously
it was necessary to explicitly begin and commit a transaction in order
to call these methods, when the underlying Database was transactional.
Note that starting a transaction is still necessary when calling these
methods if the StoredCollection.storedIterator method is used. [#15401]</li>
<li>Fix a bug that causes a memory leak for applications where both of
the following are true: many Environment objects are opened and closed,
and the CurrentTransaction or TransactionRunner class is used. [#15444]</li>

<li>Fix a bug where transactions could be rolled-back if an existing
replication group master was partitioned and unable to participate in
an election. [#14752]</li>
<li>Add a new event when a replication manager framework master fails
to send and confirm receipt by clients of a "permanent" message.
[#14775]</li>
<li>Fix a race where multiple threads might attempt to process a
LOGREADY condition. [#14902]</li>
<li>Change the DB_VERB_REPLICATION flag to no longer require the
Berkeley DB library be built with the --enable-diagnostic configuration
option to output additional replication logging information. [#14991]</li>
<li>Fix a bug with elections occurring during internal init of a
replication client site. [#15057]</li>
<li>Fix lockout code to lockout message threads and API separately.
Send indication that log requests is for internal init. [#15067]</li>
<li>Replication manager changed to retry host-name look-up failures,
since they could be caused by transient name server outage.
[#15081]</li>
<li>Fix a bug which led to memory corruption when the sending of a bulk
buffer resulted in an error. [#15100]</li>
<li>A throttling limit of 10 megabytes is now set by default in a newly
created database environment (see the DbEnv.rep_set_limit method).
[#15115]</li>
<li>Fix a bug in ALL_REQ handling where master could get a DB_NOTFOUND.
[#15116]</li>
<li>Fix a bug which could lead to client sites repeatedly but unproductively
calling for an election, when a master site already exists. [#15128]</li>
<li>Modify gap processing algorithms so XXX_MORE messages ask for data
beyond what it just processed, not an earlier gap that might exist.
[#15136]</li>
<li>Fixed a bug in the ex_rep example application which could cause the
last few transactions to disappear when shutting down the sites of the
replication group gracefully. [#15162]</li>
<li>Fix a bug where if a client crashed during internal init, its
database environment would be left in a confused state, making it
impossible to synchronize again with the master. [#15177]</li>
<li>Fix a bug where election flags are not cleared atomically with the
setting of the new master ID. [#15186]</li>
<li>Fix a bug which would cause Berkeley DB to crash if an internal init
happened when there were no database files at the master. [#15227]</li>
<li>It is now guaranteed that the DB_EVENT_REP_STARTUPDONE event will
be presented to the application after the corresponding
DB_EVENT_REP_NEWMASTER event, even in the face of extreme scheduling
anomalies. [#15265]</li>
<li>Fix minor memory leaks in the replication manager. [#15239] [#15256]</li>
<li>Fix a bug which caused the replication manager to lose track of a
failed connection, resulting in the inability to accept a replacement
connection. [#15311]</li>
<li>Fix a bug where a client starting an election when the rest of the
replication group already had an established master could confuse
replication management at the other client sites, leading to failure to
properly acknowledge PERM transactions from the master. [#15428]</li>
<li>Add support for reporting Replication Manager statistics. [#15430]</li>
<li>Fix a bug where a send failure during processing of a request
message from a client could erroneously appear to the application as an
EPERM system error. [#15436]</li>
<li>Client now sets STARTUPDONE at the end of the synchronization phase
when it has caught up to the end of the master's transaction log, without
requiring ongoing transactions at the master. [#15542]</li>
<li>Fix a bug in sleep-time calculation which could cause a Replication
Manager failure. [#15552]</li>
