The stable risen release after the Github's intentional malicious disaster.
We have migrated to a reliable trusted infrastructure
-----------------------------------------------------
The origin for now is at [GitFlic](https://gitflic.ru/project/erthink/libmdbx)
since on 2022-04-15 the Github administration, without any warning nor
explanation, deleted _libmdbx_ along with a lot of other projects,
simultaneously blocking access for many developers.
For the same reason ~~Github~~ is blacklisted forever.
GitFlic already support Russian and English languages, plan to support more,
including 和 中文. You are welcome!
New:
----
- Added the `tools-static` make target to build statically linked MDBX tools.
- Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2022.
- Support build by MinGW' make from command line without CMake.
- Added `mdbx::filesystem` C++ API namespace that corresponds to `std::filesystem` or `std::experimental::filesystem`.
- Created [website](https://libmdbx.website.yandexcloud.net/) for online auto-generated documentation.
- Used `todo4recovery://erased_by_github/` for dead (or temporarily lost) resources deleted by ~~Github~~.
- Added `--loglevel=` command-line option to the `mdbx_test` tool.
- Added few fast smoke-like tests into CMake builds.
Fixes:
------
- Fixed a race between starting a transaction and creating a DBI descriptor that could lead to `SIGSEGV` in the cursor tracking code.
- Clarified description of `MDBX_EPERM` error returned from `mdbx_env_set_geometry()`.
- Fixed non-promoting the parent transaction to be dirty in case the undo of the geometry update failed during abortion of a nested transaction.
- Resolved linking issues with `libstdc++fs`/`libc++fs`/`libc++experimental` for C++ `std::filesystem` or `std::experimental::filesystem` for legacy compilers.
- Added workaround for GNU Make 3.81 and earlier.
- Added workaround for Elbrus/LCC 1.25 compiler bug of class inline `static constexpr` member field.
- [Fixed](https://github.com/ledgerwatch/erigon/issues/3874) minor assertion regression (only debug builds were affected).
- Fixed detection of `C++20` concepts accessibility.
- Fixed detection of Clang's LTO availability for Android.
- Fixed build for ARM/ARM64 by MSVC.
- Fixed non-x86 Windows builds with `MDBX_WITHOUT_MSVC_CRT=ON` and `MDBX_BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY=ON`.
Minors:
-------
- Resolve minor MSVC warnings: avoid `/INCREMENTAL[:YES]` with `/LTCG`, `/W4` with `/W3`, the `C5105` warning.
- Switched to using `MDBX_EPERM` instead of `MDBX_RESULT_TRUE' to indicate that the geometry cannot be updated.
- Added `NULL` checking during memory allocation inside `mdbx_chk`.
- Resolved all warnings from MinGW while used without CMake.
- Added inheretable `target_include_directories()` to `CMakeLists.txt` for easy integration.
- Added build-time checks and paranoid runtime assertions for the `off_t` arguments of `fcntl()` which are used for locking.
- Added `-Wno-lto-type-mismatch` to avoid false-positive warnings from old GCC during LTO-enabled builds.
- Added checking for TID (system thread id) to avoid hang on 32-bit Bionic/Android within `pthread_mutex_lock()`.
- Reworked `MDBX_BUILD_TARGET` of CMake builds.
- Added `CMAKE_HOST_ARCH` and `CMAKE_HOST_CAN_RUN_EXECUTABLES_BUILT_FOR_TARGET`.

Fixes https://github.com/ledgerwatch/erigon/issues/3874.
This was a minor regression after the c4a5325aafd3f03ce7520731b9da7253d7d178f0
that affects only debug builgs (with enabled assertions) and only when the added
code catch a incoherency of unified page/buffer cache.
The error was that the array of pointers in the transaction zeroed by the
value of env->me_numdbs and before txn->mt_numdbs was set to env->me_numdbs.
Thus, a cursor pointer(s) in the starting transaction could uninitialized if
another thread opened a dbi-handle(s) between the two aforementioned events.
The stable release with the complete workaround for an incoherence flaw of Linux unified page/buffer cache.
Nonetheless the cause for this trouble may be an issue of Intel CPU cache/MESI.
See [issue#269](https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/269) for more information.

- Fixed copy&paste typo inside `mdbx::cursor::find_multivalue()`.
Minors:
-------
- Minor refine C++ API for convenience.
- Minor internals refines.

Briefly, this commit fixes a missed flaw:
- Cursor tracking is required to replacing shaded pages and adjusting the positions in writing transactions;
- Thus, historically, an internal linked list was maintained for a read-write transactions, but not for a read-only.
For this reason, the API for using cursors should be different for writing and reading transactions;
- However, the libmdbx's API has been significantly improved, including the ability to reuse cursors and a uniform cursors behavior for any kind of transactions.
My mistake is that due to working with MithrilDB, I forgot to make a same changes to libmdbx.
Fixes https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/272.
The stable release with the hotfix/workaround for a flaw of Linux 4.19 (at least) unified page/buffer cache.

This bug triggered only in the DEBUG builds or when the assertion checking is forcibly enabled.
It does not affect any core logic and cannot lead to DB corruption, data loss, and so on.
Fixes https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/260.
Added a check that the data of the BIGDATA node (containing the target page number) is located within the boundaries of the page being checked.
The third case of https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/217.
Here are some changes to avoid recursive acquisition of SRW-lock,
which is still in use:
- Read transactions don't acquire the shared SRW-lock with `MDBX_NOTLS.
- Memory-mapping of DB is always kept while DB opened,
therefore following limitations are:
- DB file can't be shrinked while it used,
including auto-shrink due to auto-compactification with corresponding geometry settings.
- The upper limit of DB size can't be changed while DB is used.
- The DB can grow within the upper size limit defined while opening by a first process,
but this does not work under Wine since there is no `NtExtendSection()` function.
Partially fix https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/203

New features:
-------------
- Added `mdbx_env_set_option()` and `mdbx_env_get_option()` for controls
various runtime options for an environment (announce of this feature was missed in a previous news).
- Added `MDBX_DISABLE_PAGECHECKS` build option to disable some checks to reduce an overhead
and detection probability of database corruption to a values closer to the LMDB.
The `MDBX_DISABLE_PAGECHECKS=1` provides a performance boost of about 10% in CRUD scenarios,
and conjointly with the `MDBX_ENV_CHECKPID=0` and `MDBX_TXN_CHECKOWNER=0` options can yield
up to 30% more performance compared to LMDB.
- Using float point (exponential quantized) representation for internal 16-bit values
of grow step and shrink threshold when huge ones (https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/166).
To minimize the impact on compatibility, only the odd values inside the upper half
of the range (i.e. 32769..65533) are used for the new representation.
- Added the `mdbx_drop` similar to LMDB command-line tool to purge or delete (sub)database(s).
- [Ruby bindings](https://rubygems.org/gems/mdbx/) is available now by [Mahlon E. Smith](https://github.com/mahlonsmith).
- Added `MDBX_ENABLE_MADVISE` build option which controls the use of POSIX `madvise()` hints and friends.
- The internal node sizes were refined, resulting in a reduction in large/overflow pages in some use cases
and a slight increase in limits for a keys size to ≈½ of page size.
- Added to `mdbx_chk` output number of keys/items on pages.
- Added explicit `install-strip` and `install-no-strip` targets to the `Makefile` (https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/pull/180).
- Major rework page splitting (af9b7b560505684249b76730997f9e00614b8113) for
- An "auto-appending" feature upon insertion for both ascending and
descending key sequences. As a result, the optimality of page filling
increases significantly (more densely, less slackness) while
inserting ordered sequences of keys,
- A "splitting at middle" to make page tree more balanced on average.
- Added `mdbx_get_sysraminfo()` to the API.
- Added guessing a reasonable maximum DB size for the default upper limit of geometry (https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/183).
- Major rework internal labeling of a dirty pages (958fd5b9479f52f2124ab7e83c6b18b04b0e7dda) for
a "transparent spilling" feature with the gist to make a dirty pages
be ready to spilling (writing to a disk) without further altering ones.
Thus in the `MDBX_WRITEMAP` mode the OS kernel able to oust dirty pages
to DB file without further penalty during transaction commit.
As a result, page swapping and I/O could be significantly reduced during extra large transactions and/or lack of memory.
- Minimized reading leaf-pages during dropping subDB(s) and nested trees.
- Major rework a spilling of dirty pages to support [LRU](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_replacement_policies#Least_recently_used_(LRU))
policy and prioritization for a large/overflow pages.
- Statistics of page operations (split, merge, copy, spill, etc) now available through `mdbx_env_info_ex()`.
- Auto-setup limit for length of dirty pages list (`MDBX_opt_txn_dp_limit` option).
- Support `make options` to list available build options.
- Support `make help` to list available make targets.
- Silently `make`'s build by default.
- Preliminary [Python bindings](https://github.com/Thermi/libmdbx/tree/python-bindings) is available now
by [Noel Kuntze](https://github.com/Thermi) (https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/147).
Backward compatibility break:
-----------------------------
- The `MDBX_AVOID_CRT` build option was renamed to `MDBX_WITHOUT_MSVC_CRT`.
This option is only relevant when building for Windows.
- The `mdbx_env_stat()` always, and `mdbx_env_stat_ex()` when called with the zeroed transaction parameter,
now internally start temporary read transaction and thus may returns `MDBX_BAD_RSLOT` error.
So, just never use deprecated `mdbx_env_stat()' and call `mdbx_env_stat_ex()` with transaction parameter.
- The build option `MDBX_CONFIG_MANUAL_TLS_CALLBACK` was removed and now just a non-zero value of
the `MDBX_MANUAL_MODULE_HANDLER` macro indicates the requirement to manually call `mdbx_module_handler()`
when loading libraries and applications uses statically linked libmdbx on an obsolete Windows versions.
Fixes:
------
- Fixed performance regression due non-optimal C11 atomics usage (https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/160).
- Fixed "reincarnation" of subDB after it deletion (https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/168).
- Fixed (disallowing) implicit subDB deletion via operations on `@MAIN`'s DBI-handle.
- Fixed a crash of `mdbx_env_info_ex()` in case of a call for a non-open environment (https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/171).
- Fixed the selecting/adjustment values inside `mdbx_env_set_geometry()` for implicit out-of-range cases (https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/170).
- Fixed `mdbx_env_set_option()` for set initial and limit size of dirty page list ((https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/179).
- Fixed an unreasonably huge default upper limit for DB geometry (https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/183).
- Fixed `constexpr` specifier for the `slice::invalid()`.
- Fixed (no)readahead auto-handling (https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/164).
- Fixed non-alloy build for Windows.
- Switched to using Heap-functions instead of LocalAlloc/LocalFree on Windows.
- Fixed `mdbx_env_stat_ex()` to returning statistics of the whole environment instead of MainDB only (https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/190).
- Fixed building by GCC 4.8.5 (added workaround for a preprocessor's bug).
- Fixed building C++ part for iOS <= 13.0 (unavailability of `std::filesystem::path`).
- Fixed building for Windows target versions prior to Windows Vista (`WIN32_WINNT < 0x0600`).
- Fixed building by MinGW for Windows (https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/155).
TODO for a next releases:
-------------------------
- [Get rid of dirty-pages list in MDBX_WRITEMAP mode](https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/193).
- [Large/Overflow pages accounting for dirty-room](https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/192).
- [C++ Buffer issue](https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/191).
- Finalize C++ API (few typos and trivia bugs are still likely for now).
- [Support for RAW devices](https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/124).
- [Test framework issue](https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/127).
- [Support MessagePack for Keys & Values](https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/115).
- [Engage new terminology](https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/137).
- Packages for [Astra Linux](https://astralinux.ru/), [ALT Linux](https://www.altlinux.org/), [ROSA Linux](https://www.rosalinux.ru/), Fedora/RHEL, Debian/Ubuntu.
Briefly:
- Now constructor/destructor of "Thread Local Storage" handled automatically when possible.
- Otherwise the MDBX_CONFIG_MANUAL_TLS_CALLBACK macro defined to 1 to indicate that mdbx_module_handle() should be called manually.
- Corresponding build option MDBX_CONFIG_MANUAL_TLS_CALLBACK was removed.
