This appendix contains the Berkeley DB XML changelogs for both the current release and all historical releases.
Release 6.0 is primarily a bug fix and infrastructure enhancement release. Including:
Reliability:
Fixed many bugs, and enhanced product stability.
Indexing:
The indexing module was reconstructed with a clear and high performance architecture.
Dynamic resource management:
The release bundles Berkeley DB 6.1, which provides dynamic resource management. This is a big win for BDB XML users who tend to not want to manage DB resources.
BDB XML 6.0.18 is a bug-fix release that addresses a number of issues found since the 6.0.17 release (see Berkeley DB XML 6.0.17 Change Log for details). It is source and binary compatible with earlier 6.0.x releases. This section describes changes in BDB XML relative to release 6.0.17.
None relative to 6.0.17. See Berkeley DB XML 6.0.17 Change Log for upgrade details and recommendations.
Added support for Java 8.[#24297]
Added support for Berkeley DB 6.1.26.[#24402]
Added support for XQilla 2.3.2.[#24402]
Added support for Xerces-C 3.1.2.[#24402]
Fixed a bug that could result in variables in a query to be read as undefined when they are defined.[#24044]
Upgrade is required for containers created using release 2.5.16 or earlier.
Because 6.0 bundles Berkeley DB 6.1, environment directories and log files will not be compatible with previous releases of Berkeley DB XML. This means checkpoint, backup and recovery procedures are necessary to start with a clean environment, especially for transactional environments.
If an upgrade is performed it is recommended that the resulting container be run through dbxml_dump/dbxml_load to reduce its file size.
The indexing module was reconstructed with a clear and high performance architecture.[#17397]
The release bundles Berkeley DB 6.1, which implements dynamic resource management. This is a big win for BDB XML users who tend to not want to know about DB resource manager.[#20161]
Add BDB XML support for DBXML_IGNORE_LEASE. This feature is not supported in Java API yet. [#19025]
Improved Unicode module and implement full Unicode-standard code-point support.[#17394]

XmlIndexSpecification::next(std::string &uri,
std::string &name, std::string &) so that only
one index string will be returned at each iteration.[#17397]
XmlManager:
createTransaction() — Add DBXML_IGNORE_LEASE to support the Berkeley DB HA MasterLease feature.
XmlTransaction:
createChild() — Add DBXML_IGNORE_LEASE to support the Berkeley DB HA MasterLease feature.
