## v0.9.x (in the development):
- Since v0.9 usage of custom comparators and the `mdbx_dbi_open_ex()` are deprecated.
- Support for Doxygen & [online API reference](https://erthink.github.io/libmdbx/).
- TODO: API for explicit threads (de)registration.
- TODO: Native bindings for C++.
- TODO: Packages for AltLinux, Fedora/RHEL, Debian/Ubuntu.
- TODO: support for Doxygen & online API reference.
## v0.8.2 2020-07-06:
- Added support multi-opening the same DB in a process with SysV locking (BSD).
