New features, extensions and improvements:
- [Allow to predefine/override `MDBX_BUILD_TIMESTAMP` for builds reproducibility](https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/201).
- Added options support for `long-stochastic` script.
- Avoided `MDBX_TXN_FULL` error for large transactions when possible.
- The `MDBX_READERS_LIMIT` increased to `32767`.
- Raise `MDBX_TOO_LARGE` under Valgrind/ASAN if being opened DB is 100 larger than RAM (to avoid hangs and OOM).
- Minimized the size of poisoned/unpoisoned regions to avoid Valgrind/ASAN stuck.
- Added more workarounds for QEMU for testing builds for 32-bit platforms, Alpha and Sparc architectures.
- `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://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.
Fixes:
- Fixed excess meta-pages checks in case `mdbx_chk` is called to check the DB for a specific meta page and thus could prevent switching to the selected meta page, even if the check passed without errors.
- Fixed [recursive use of SRW-lock on Windows cause by `MDBX_NOTLS` option](https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/203).
- Fixed [log a warning during a new DB creation](https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/205).
- Fixed [false-negative `mdbx_cursor_eof()` result](https://github.com/erthink/libmdbx/issues/207).

- Added [Plan 9](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9P_(protocol)) network file system to the whitelist for an ability to open a DB in exclusive mode.
- Support for opening from WSL2 environment a DB hosted on Windows drive and mounted via [DrvFs](https://docs.microsoft.com/it-it/archive/blogs/wsl/wsl-file-system-support#drvfs) (i.e by Plan 9 noted above).
Fixes:

## v0.10.0 at 2021-05-09
Acknowledgements:
- [Mahlon E. Smith](https://github.com/mahlonsmith) for [Ruby bindings](https://rubygems.org/gems/mdbx/).
- [Alex Sharov](https://github.com/AskAlexSharov) for [mdbx-go](https://github.com/torquem-ch/mdbx-go), bug reporting and testing.
- [Artem Vorotnikov](https://github.com/vorot93) for bug reporting and PR.
- [Paolo Rebuffo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/paolo-rebuffo-8255766/), [Alexey Akhunov](https://github.com/AlexeyAkhunov) and Mark Grosberg for donations.
- [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://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).

## v0.9.0 2020-07-31 (not a release, but API changes)
Added features:
- [Online C API reference](https://erthink.github.io/libmdbx/) by Doxygen.
- Separated enums for environment, sub-databases, transactions, copying and data-update flags.
Deprecated functions and flags:
- Usage of custom comparators and the `mdbx_dbi_open_ex()` are deprecated, since such databases couldn't be checked by the `mdbx_chk` utility.
Please use the value-to-key functions to provide keys that are compatible with the built-in libmdbx comparators.
## v0.8.2 2020-07-06
- Added support multi-opening the same DB in a process with SysV locking (BSD).
- Fixed warnings & minors for LCC compiler (E2K).
- Enabled to simultaneously open the same database from processes with and without the `MDBX_WRITEMAP` option.
- Added key-to-value, `mdbx_get_keycmp()` and `mdbx_get_datacmp()` functions (helpful to avoid using custom comparators).
- Added `ENABLE_UBSAN` CMake option to enabling the UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer from GCC/CLANG.
- Workaround for [CLANG bug](https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43275).
- Returning `MDBX_CORRUPTED` in case all meta-pages are weak and no other error.
- Refined mode bits while auto-creating LCK-file.
- Avoids unnecessary database file re-mapping in case geometry changed by another process(es).
From the user's point of view, the `MDBX_UNABLE_EXTEND_MAPSIZE` error will now be returned less frequently and only when using the DB in the current process really requires it to be reopened.
