<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.
