little-endian, independent of structure padding). [#15787] [#15840]< / li >

persistent object model, which provides support for complex object models without

creation of intermediate directories needed during recovery. [#15097]< / li >

which have failed while blocked on a concurrency lock. This
significantly decreases the need for database environment recovery after
thread of control failure. [#15626]< / li >
< li > Replication Manager clients now can be configured to monitor the
connection to the master using heartbeat messages, in order to promptly
discover connection failures. [#15714]< / li >

they are created, improving performance on some systems. [#15758]< / li >

< li > The Berkeley DB Tcl API does not attempt to avoid evaluating input
as Tcl commands. For this reason, it may be dangerous to pass unreviewed
user input through the Berkeley DB Tcl API, as the input may
subsequently be evaluated as a Tcl command. To minimize the
effectiveness of a Tcl injection attack, the Berkeley DB Tcl API in the
4.7 release routine resets process' effective user and group IDs to the
real user and group IDs. [#15597]< / li >

< li > Fix a bug where a master failure resulted in multiple attempts to
perform a "fast election"; subsequent elections, when necessary, now use
the normal nsites value. [#15099]< / li >
< li > Replication performance enhancements to speed up failover. [#15490]< / li >
< li > Fix a bug where replication could self-block in a database environment
configured for in-memory logging. [#15503]< / li >
< li > Fix a bug where replication would attempt to read log file version
numbers in a database configured for in-memory logging. [#15503]< / li >
< li > Fix a bug where log files were not removed during client
initialization in a database configured for in-memory logging. [#15503]< / li >
< li > The 4.7 release no longer supports live replication upgrade from the
4.2 or 4.3 releases, only from the 4.4 and later releases. [#15602]< / li >
< li > Fix a bug where replication could re-request missing records on
every arriving record. [#15629]< / li >
< li > Change the DB_ENV-> rep_set_request method to use time, not the
number of messages, when re-requesting missed messages on a replication
client. [#15629]< / li >
< li > Fix a minor memory leak on the master when updating a client during
internal initialization. [#15634]< / li >
< li > Fix a bug where a client error when syncing with a new replication
group master could result in an inability to ever re-join the group. [#15648]< / li >
< li > Change dbenv-> rep_set_request to use time-based values instead of counters. [#15682]< / li >
< li > Fix a bug where a LOCK_NOTGRANTED error could be returned from the
DB_ENV-> rep_process_message method, instead of being handled
internally by replication. [#15685]< / li >
< li > Fix a bug where the Replication Manager would reject a fresh
connection from a remote site that had crashed and restarted, displaying
the message: "redundant incoming connection will be ignored". [#15731]< / li >
< li > The Replication Manager now supports dynamic negotiation of the best
available wire protocol version, on a per-connection basis. [#15783]< / li >
< li > Fix a bug, which could lead to slow performance of internal
initialization under the Replication Manager, as evidenced by "queue limit
exceeded" messages in verbose replication diagnostic output. [#15788]< / li >
< li > Fix a bug where replication control message were not portable between
replication clients with different endian architectures. [#15793]< / li >
< li > Add a configuration option to turn off Replication Manager's special
handling of elections in 2-site groups. [#15873]< / li >
< li > Fix a bug making it impossible to call replicationManagerAddRemoteSite
in the Java API after having called replicationManagerStart. [#15875]< / li >
< li > Fix a bug where the DB_EVENT_REP_STARTUPDONE event could be
triggered too early. [#15887]< / li >
< li > Fix a bug where the rcvd_ts timestamp is reset when the user just changes the threshold.
[#15895]< / li >
< li > Fix a bug where the master in a 2-site replication group might wait
for client acknowledgement, even when there was no client connected.
[#15927]< / li >
< li > Fix a bug, clean up and restart internal init if master log is gone.
[#16006]< / li >
< li > Fix a bug, ignore page messages that are from an old internal init.
[#16075] [#16059]< / li >
< li > Fix a bug where checkpoint records do not indicate a database was a named in-memory
database. [#16076]< / li >
< li > Fix a bug with in-memory replication, where we returned with the log region mutex
held in an error path, leading to self-deadlock. [#16088]< / li >
< li > Fix a bug which causes the DB_REP_CHECKPOINT_DELAY setting in rep_set_timeout()
to be interpreted in seconds, rather than microseconds. [#16153]< / li >
