(BDB JE overview)

Berkeley DB Java Edition 5.0.73 is a patch release consisting  of 
several improvements as well as a number of important bug fixes. We 
strongly recommend that users of the 5.0.x version upgrade to this 
release. These fixes include:

  * A JE/HA application may now explicitly transfer the master role, on
    demand, from the current master to one of a specified set of
    currently active replica nodes in the replication group.
  * It is now possible to restore an entire replication group by
    restoring just one node from a backup.
  * Added a new method that should be used for performing incremental
    backups: DbBackup.getLogFilesInSnapshot.
  * The JE log cleaner now logs a SEVERE level message when the average
    cleaner backlog increases over time.
  * The log cleaner will now delete files in the latter portion of the
    log, even when an HA application is not performing any write operations.
