# @(#)VERSION 8.8 (Berkeley) 12/19/93 This is version 1.73 of the Berkeley DB code. If your version of the DB code doesn't have a copy of this version file, it's really old, please update it! New versions of this software are periodically made available by anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.berkeley.edu, in the file ucb/4bsd/db.tar.Z, or from ftp.uu.net. If you'd like to get announcements of future releases of this software, send email to the contact address below. Email questions may be addressed to Keith Bostic at bostic@cs.berkeley.edu. ============================================ 1.72 -> 1.73 btree: If enough duplicate records were inserted and then deleted that internal pages had references to empty pages of the duplicate keys, the search function ended up on the wrong page. 1.7 -> 1.72 12 Oct 1993 hash: Support NET/2 hash formats. 1.7 -> 1.71 16 Sep 1993 btree/recno: Fix bug in internal search routines that caused return of invalid pointers. 1.6 -> 1.7 07 Sep 1993 hash: Fixed big key overflow bugs. test: Portability hacks, rewrite test script, Makefile. btree/recno: Stop copying non-overflow key/data pairs. PORT: Break PORT directory up into per architecture/OS subdirectories. 1.5 -> 1.6 06 Jun 1993 hash: In PAIRFITS, the first comparison should look at (P)[2]. The hash_realloc function was walking off the end of memory. The overflow page number was wrong when bumping splitpoint. 1.4 -> 1.5 23 May 1993 hash: Set hash default fill factor dynamically. recno: Fixed bug in sorted page splits. Add page size parameter support. Allow recno to specify the name of the underlying btree; used for vi recovery. btree/recno: Support 64K pages. btree/hash/recno: Provide access to an underlying file descriptor. Change sync routines to take a flag argument, recno uses this to sync out the underlying btree. 1.3 -> 1.4 10 May 1993 recno: Delete the R_CURSORLOG flag from the recno interface. Zero-length record fix for non-mmap reads. Try and make SIZE_T_MAX test in open portable. 1.2 -> 1.3 01 May 1993 btree: Ignore user byte-order setting when reading already existing database. Fixes to byte-order conversions. 1.1 -> 1.2 15 Apr 1993 No bug fixes, only compatibility hacks. ============================================ Distribution contents: Makefile.inc Ignore this, it's Berkeley's internal Makefile.
