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.

Fixes:
------
- [Added complete workaround](https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/269) for an incoherence flaw of Linux unified page/buffer cache.
- [Fixed](https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/272) cursor reusing for read-only transactions.
- Fixed copy&paste typo inside `mdbx::cursor::find_multivalue()`.
Minors:
-------
- Minor refine C++ API for convenience.
- Minor internals refines.
- Added `lib-static` and `lib-shared` targets for make.
- Added minor workaround for AppleClang 13.3 bug.
- Clarified error messages of a signature/version mismatch.

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.
See [issue#269](https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/269) for more information.

- [Fixed/Reworked](https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/pull/270) move-assignment operators for "managed" classes of C++ API.
- Fixed potential `SIGSEGV` while open DB with overrided non-default page size.
- [Made](https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/267) `mdbx_env_open()` idempotence in failure cases.
- Refined/Fixed pages reservation inside `mdbx_update_gc()` to avoid non-reclamation in a rare cases.
- Fixed typo in a retained space calculation for the hsr-callback.
Minors:
-------
- Reworked functions for meta-pages, split-off non-volatile.
- Disentangled C11-atomic fences/barriers and pure-functions (with `__attribute__((__pure__))`) to avoid compiler misoptimization.
- Fixed hypotetic unaligned access to 64-bit dwords on ARM with `__ARM_FEATURE_UNALIGNED` defined.
- Reasonable paranoia that makes clarity for code readers.
- Minor fixes Doxygen references, comments, descriptions, etc.
