(was symlink to VERSION. -- cgd) # @(#)README 8.27 (Berkeley) 9/1/94
This is version 1.85 of the Berkeley DB code.
For information on compiling and installing this software, see the file
PORT/README.
Newer versions of this software will periodically be made available by
anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.berkeley.edu. An archive in compressed format
is in ucb/4bsd/db.tar.Z, or in gzip format in ucb/4bsd/db.tar.gz. If
you'd like to receive announcements of future releases of this software,
send email to the contact address below.
Email questions may be addressed to Keith Bostic at bostic@cs.berkeley.edu.
============================================
Distribution contents:
Makefile.inc Ignore this, it's the 4.4BSD subsystem Makefile.
PORT The per OS/architecture directories to use to build
libdb.a, if you're not running 4.4BSD. See the file
PORT/README for more information.
README This file.
btree The B+tree routines.
changelog List of changes, per version.
db The dbopen(3) interface routine.
docs Various USENIX papers, and the formatted manual pages.
hash The extended linear hashing routines.
man The unformatted manual pages.
mpool The memory pool routines.
recno The fixed/variable length record routines.
test Test package.
============================================
Debugging:
If you're running a memory checker (e.g. Purify) on DB, make sure that
you recompile it with "-DPURIFY" in the CFLAGS, first. By default,
allocated pages are not initialized by the DB code, and they will show
up as reads of uninitialized memory in the buffer write routines.

it's really old, please update it!

============================================
1.78 -> 1.79 Mon Jun 20 17:36:47 EDT 1994
all: Minor cleanups of 1.78 for porting reasons; only
major change was inlining check of NULL pointer
so that __fix_realloc goes away.
1.77 -> 1.78 Thu Jun 16 19:06:43 EDT 1994
all: Move "standard" size typedef's into db.h.
1.76 -> 1.77 Thu Jun 16 16:48:38 EDT 1994
hash: Delete __init_ routine, has special meaning to OSF 2.0.
1.74 -> 1.76
all: Finish up the port to the Alpha.
1.73 -> 1.74
recno: Don't put the record if rec_search fails, in rec_rdelete.
Create fixed-length intermediate records past "end" of DB
correctly.
Realloc bug when reading in fixed records.
all: First cut at port to Alpha (64-bit architecture) using
4.4BSD basic integral types typedef's.
Cast allocation pointers to shut up old compilers.
Rework PORT directory into OS/machine directories.
1.72 -> 1.73
btree: If enough duplicate records were inserted and then deleted
that internal pages had references to empty pages of the
duplicate keys, the search function ended up on the wrong
page.
1.7 -> 1.72 12 Oct 1993
hash: Support NET/2 hash formats.
1.7 -> 1.71 16 Sep 1993
btree/recno:
Fix bug in internal search routines that caused
return of invalid pointers.
1.6 -> 1.7 07 Sep 1993
hash: Fixed big key overflow bugs.
test: Portability hacks, rewrite test script, Makefile.
btree/recno:
Stop copying non-overflow key/data pairs.
PORT: Break PORT directory up into per architecture/OS
subdirectories.
1.5 -> 1.6 06 Jun 1993
hash: In PAIRFITS, the first comparison should look at (P)[2].
The hash_realloc function was walking off the end of memory.
The overflow page number was wrong when bumping splitpoint.
1.4 -> 1.5 23 May 1993
hash: Set hash default fill factor dynamically.
recno: Fixed bug in sorted page splits.
Add page size parameter support.
Allow recno to specify the name of the underlying btree;
used for vi recovery.
btree/recno:
Support 64K pages.
btree/hash/recno:
Provide access to an underlying file descriptor.
Change sync routines to take a flag argument, recno
uses this to sync out the underlying btree.
1.3 -> 1.4 10 May 1993
recno: Delete the R_CURSORLOG flag from the recno interface.
Zero-length record fix for non-mmap reads.
Try and make SIZE_T_MAX test in open portable.
1.2 -> 1.3 01 May 1993
btree: Ignore user byte-order setting when reading already
existing database. Fixes to byte-order conversions.
1.1 -> 1.2 15 Apr 1993
No bug fixes, only compatibility hacks.
