Added features:
- Preliminary C++ API with support for C++17 polymorphic allocators.
- [Online C++ API reference](https://erthink.github.io/libmdbx/) by Doxygen.
- Quick reference for Insert/Update/Delete operations.
- Explicit `MDBX_SYNC_DURABLE` to sync modes for API clarity.
- Explicit `MDBX_ALLDUPS` and `MDBX_UPSERT` for API clarity.
- Support for read transactions preparation (`MDBX_TXN_RDONLY_PREPARE` flag).
- Support for cursor preparation/(pre)allocation and reusing (`mdbx_cursor_create()` and `mdbx_cursor_bind()` functions).
- Support for checking database using specified meta-page (see `mdbx_chk -h`).
- Support for turn to the specific meta-page after checking (see `mdbx_chk -h`).
- Support for explicit reader threads (de)registration.
- The `mdbx_txn_break()` function to explicitly mark a transaction as broken.
- Improved handling of corrupted databases by `mdbx_chk` utility and `mdbx_walk_tree()` function.
- Improved DB corruption detection by checking parent-page-txnid.
- Improved opening large DB (> 4Gb) from 32-bit code.
- Provided `pure-function` and `const-function` attributes to C API.
- Support for user-settable context for transactions & cursors.
- Revised API and documentation related to Handle-Slow-Readers callback feature.
Deprecated functions and flags:
- For clarity and API simplification the `MDBX_MAPASYNC` flag is deprecated.
Just use `MDBX_SAFE_NOSYNC` or `MDBX_UTTERLY_NOSYNC` instead of it.
- `MDBX_oom_func`, `mdbx_env_set_oomfunc()` and `mdbx_env_get_oomfunc()`
replaced with `MDBX_hsr_func`, `mdbx_env_get_hsr` and `mdbx_env_get_hsr()`.
Fixes:
- Fix `mdbx_strerror()` for `MDBX_BUSY` error (no error description is returned).
- Fix update internal meta-geo information in read-only mode (`EACCESS` or `EBADFD` error).
- Fix `mdbx_page_get()` null-defer when DB corrupted (crash by `SIGSEGV`).
- Fix `mdbx_env_open()` for re-opening after non-fatal errors (`mdbx_chk` unexpected failures).
- Workaround for MSVC 19.27 `static_assert()` bug.
- Doxygen descriptions and refinement.
- Update Valgrind's suppressions.
- Workaround to avoid infinite loop of 'nested' testcase on MIPS under QEMU.
- Fix a lot of typos & spelling (Thanks to Josh Soref for PR).
- Fix `getopt()` messages for Windows (Thanks to Andrey Sporaw for reporting).
- Fix MSVC compiler version requirements (Thanks to Andrey Sporaw for reporting).
- Workarounds for QEMU's bugs to run tests for cross-builded library under QEMU.
- Now C++ compiler optional for building by CMake.
TODO for next version(s):
- Rework/speedup the implementation of the dirty page list (lazy compactification, lazy sorting via merge).
- Finalize C++ API (few typos and trivia bugs are likely for now).
- Packages for ROSA Linux, ALT Linux, Fedora/RHEL, Debian/Ubuntu.

QEMU 4.2 has problems with extending mmap range while emulating SPARC64 and Alpha platforms.
So as a workaround, just run the test on SPARC64 and Alpha with a fixed database size.
