ChangeLog
---------
## v0.12.0 at 2022-06-19
Not a release but preparation for changing feature set and API.
## v0.11.8 at 2022-06-12
Acknowledgements:
- [Masatoshi Fukunaga](https://github.com/mah0x211) for [Lua bindings](https://github.com/mah0x211/lua-libmdbx).
New:
- Added most of transactions flags to the public API.
- Added `MDBX_NOSUCCESS_EMPTY_COMMIT` build option to return non-success result (`MDBX_RESULT_TRUE`) on empty commit.
- Reworked validation and import of DBI-handles into a transaction.
Assumes these changes will be invisible to most users, but will cause fewer surprises in complex DBI cases.
- Added ability to open DB in without-LCK (exclusive read-only) mode in case no permissions to create/write LCK-file.
Fixes:
- A series of fixes and improvements for automatically generated documentation (Doxygen).
- Fixed copy&paste bug with could lead to `SIGSEGV` (nullptr dereference) in the exclusive/no-lck mode.
- Fixed minor warnings from modern Apple's CLANG 13.
- Fixed minor warnings from CLANG 14 and in-development CLANG 15.
- Fixed `SIGSEGV` regression in without-LCK (exclusive read-only) mode.
- Fixed `mdbx_check_fs_local()` for CDROM case on Windows.
- Fixed nasty typo of typename which caused false `MDBX_CORRUPTED` error in a rare execution path,
when the size of the thread-ID type not equal to 8.
- Fixed write-after-free memory corruption on latest `macOS` during finalization/cleanup of thread(s) that executed read transaction(s).
> The issue was suddenly discovered by a [CI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_integration)
> after adding an iteration with macOS 11 "Big Sur", and then reproduced on recent release of macOS 12 "Monterey".
> The issue was never noticed nor reported on macOS 10 "Catalina" nor others.
> Analysis shown that the problem caused by a change in the behavior of the system library (internals of dyld and pthread)
> during thread finalization/cleanup: now a memory allocated for a `__thread` variable(s) is released
> before execution of the registered Thread-Local-Storage destructor(s),
> thus a TLS-destructor will write-after-free just by legitime dereference any `__thread` variable.
> This is unexpected crazy-like behavior since the order of resources releasing/destroying
> is not the reverse of ones acquiring/construction order. Nonetheless such surprise
> is now workarounded by using atomic compare-and-swap operations on a 64-bit signatures/cookies.
- Fixed Elbrus/E2K LCC 1.26 compiler warnings (memory model for atomic operations, etc).
Minors:
- Refined `release-assets` GNU Make target.
- Added logging to `mdbx_fetch_sdb()` to help debugging complex DBI-handels use cases.
- Added explicit error message from probe of no-support for `std::filesystem`.
- Added contributors "score" table by `git fame` to generated docs.
- Added `mdbx_assert_fail()` to public API (mostly for backtracing).
- Now C++20 concepts used/enabled only when `__cpp_lib_concepts >= 202002`.
- Don't provide nor report package information if used as a CMake subproject.

## v0.11.7 at 2022-04-22
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.dqdkfa.ru/) for online auto-generated documentation.
- Used `https://web.archive.org/web/20220414235959/https://github.com/erthink/` 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 extra definition of `_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64` for Android that is problematic for 32-bit Bionic.
- 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`.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

## v0.11.1 at 2021-10-23
### Backward compatibility break:
The database format signature has been changed to prevent
forward-interoperability with an previous releases, which may lead to a
[false positive diagnosis of database corruption](https://web.archive.org/web/20220414235959/https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/238)
due to flaws of an old library versions.
This change is mostly invisible:
- previously versions are unable to read/write a new DBs;
- but the new release is able to handle an old DBs and will silently upgrade ones.
Acknowledgements:
- [Alex Sharov](https://github.com/AskAlexSharov) for reporting and testing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
## v0.10.5 at 2021-10-13 (obsolete, please use v0.11.1)
Unfortunately, the `v0.10.5` accidentally comes not full-compatible with previous releases:
- `v0.10.5` can read/processing DBs created by previous releases, i.e. the backward-compatibility is provided;
- however, previous releases may lead to false-corrupted state with DB that was touched by `v0.10.5`, i.e. the forward-compatibility is broken for `v0.10.4` and earlier.
This cannot be fixed, as it requires fixing past versions, which as a result we will just get a current version.
Therefore, it is recommended to use `v0.11.1` instead of `v0.10.5`.
Acknowledgements:
- [Noel Kuntze](https://github.com/Thermi) for immediately bug reporting.
Fixes:
- Fixed unaligned access regression after the `#pragma pack` fix for modern compilers.
- Added UBSAN-test to CI to avoid a regression(s) similar to lately fixed.
- Fixed possibility of meta-pages clashing after manually turn to a particular meta-page using `mdbx_chk` utility.
Minors:
- Refined handling of weak or invalid meta-pages while a DB opening.
- Refined providing information for the `@MAIN` and `@GC` sub-databases of a last committed modification transaction's ID.

- [Artem Vorotnikov](https://github.com/vorot93) for support [Rust wrapper](https://github.com/vorot93/libmdbx-rs).
- [Andrew Ashikhmin](https://github.com/yperbasis) for contributing to C++ API.
Fixes:
- Fixed possibility of looping update GC during transaction commit (no public issue since the problem was discovered inside [Positive Technologies](https://www.ptsecurity.ru)).
- Fixed `#pragma pack` to avoid provoking some compilers to generate code with [unaligned access](https://web.archive.org/web/20220414235959/https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/235).
- Fixed `noexcept` for potentially throwing `txn::put()` of C++ API.
Minors:
- Added stochastic test script for checking small transactions cases.

- `mdbx_chk` now skips iteration & checking of DB' records if corresponding page-tree is corrupted (to avoid `SIGSEGV`, ASAN failures, etc).
- Added more checks for [rare/fuzzing corruption cases](https://web.archive.org/web/20220414235959/https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/217).
Backward compatibility break:
- Use file `VERSION.txt` for version information instead of `VERSION` to avoid collision with `#include <version>`.
- Rename `slice::from/to_FOO_bytes()` to `slice::envisage_from/to_FOO_length()'.
- Rename `MDBX_TEST_EXTRA` make's variable to `MDBX_SMOKE_EXTRA`.
- Some details of the C++ API have been changed for subsequent freezing.

- [Noel Kuntze](https://github.com/Thermi) for preliminary [Python bindings](https://github.com/Thermi/libmdbx/tree/python-bindings)
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://web.archive.org/web/20220414235959/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://web.archive.org/web/20220414235959/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://web.archive.org/web/20220414235959/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://web.archive.org/web/20220414235959/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://web.archive.org/web/20220414235959/https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/160).
- Fixed "reincarnation" of subDB after it deletion (https://web.archive.org/web/20220414235959/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://web.archive.org/web/20220414235959/https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/171).
- Fixed the selecting/adjustment values inside `mdbx_env_set_geometry()` for implicit out-of-range cases (https://web.archive.org/web/20220414235959/https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/170).
- Fixed `mdbx_env_set_option()` for set initial and limit size of dirty page list ((https://web.archive.org/web/20220414235959/https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/179).
- Fixed an unreasonably huge default upper limit for DB geometry (https://web.archive.org/web/20220414235959/https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/183).
- Fixed `constexpr` specifier for the `slice::invalid()`.
- Fixed (no)readahead auto-handling (https://web.archive.org/web/20220414235959/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://web.archive.org/web/20220414235959/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://web.archive.org/web/20220414235959/https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/155).
