      <p class="MsoNormal">Berkeley DB Java Edition 5.0.97 update
        contains several enhancements as well as a number of important
        bug fixes.  All changes are described in the change log.  We
        recommend that anyone using JE 5 upgrade to 5.0.97.  The
        enhancements include:<br>
      </p>
      <blockquote> </blockquote>
      <ul>
        <li> A performance enhancement was made to improve
          multi-threaded write performance. The checksum computation was
          moved out of the critical section during which a global mutex
          is held. This, together with earlier improvements to the write
          path, improve write performance overall for multi-threaded
          applications. However, the performance improvements are
          limited to standalone JE applications; performance is not
          improved for HA applications. [#16925] (5.0.97) </li>
        <li> In an HA application, the probability of hard rollbacks
          during a master transfer operation has been reduced. [#22658]
          (5.0.85) </li>
        <li> Shutdown HA feeder threads and the replica thread promptly
          as a result of an EnvironmentFailureException instead of
          waiting for the environment handle to be closed. The change
          makes for faster, more robust failover and reduces dependence
          on application behavior. [#22637] (5.0.86) </li>
        <li> Added the EnvironmentConfig.CLEANER_ADJUST_UTILIZATION
          boolean configuration parameter, to allow disabling of
          undesired automatic adjustments to log utilization. By
          default, adjustments are enabled, and the default behavior has
          not changed. For more information, see the javadoc for this
          parameter. [#22768] (5.0.88) </li>
      </ul>
      See the change log for more details on these enhancements and for
      information on a number of important bug fixes.
