Berkeley DB Java Edition 3.3 is a major new release with many new features,
enhancements, and fixes.  We recommend that all users review these new
features and strongly consider upgrading.


NEW IN RELEASE 3.3

*  Performance & Scalability
  - Multiple Environments can share a single cache thereby reducing
    overall memory use.
  - Per-operation cache priority management.
  - Scalability changes that enable applications to manage millions of
    databases at once in a single JVM concurrently sharing a single fixed
    size cache.
  - Improvements to the locking of log files in environments with thousands of
    (or more) log files on disk (which can be true for very large or very
    active databases).  A single lock has been replaced with fine grained
    per-log file locking to reduce contention.
  - The cleaner can be optionally configured to use more memory to trade
    off memory for speed which helps speed up cleaning in very large
    cache situations.

* Features
  - Deferred write mode can now be configured for either purely temporary
    databases or for databases that will later be put into service (e.g.
    after finishing a bulk load process) at some later point in a more
    concurrent, transactional fashion.
  - Improvements were made to reduce disk space usage in log file format.
  - We now support Google Android's Davlik JVM and the Google Android
    Platform
  - Apache Maven Support

* Documentation
  - All documentation sets for JE are now available online.
