0.12.1

This version contains a known data corruption bug (fixed by #516) and SHOULD NOT be used

Changes:

• Fix open() on platforms with OS page size != 4KiB
• Relax lifetime requirements on argument to range() and drain()

0.12.0

This version contains a known data corruption bug (fixed by #516) and SHOULD NOT be used

Changes:

• Add pop_first() and pop_last() to Table
• Add drain() to Table
• Add support for Option<T> as a value type
• Add support for user defined key and value types. Users must implement RedbKey and/or RedbValue
• Change get(), insert(), remove()...etc to take arguments of type impl Borrow<SelfType>
• Return Error::UpgradeRequired when opening a file with an outdated file format
• Improve support for 32bit platforms
• Performance optimizations

0.11.0

• Remove [u8] and str type support. Use &[u8] and &str instead.
• Change get(), range() and several other methods to return AccessGuard.
• Rename AccessGuard::to_value() to value()
• Add a non-mmap based backend which is now the default. This makes Database::create() and
  Database::open() safe, but has worse performance in some cases. The mmap backend is available
  via create_mmapped()/open_mmapped(). There is no difference in the file format, so applications
  can switch from one backend to the other.
• Better handling of fsync failures

0.10.0

• Remove maximum database size argument from create(). Databases are now unbounded in size
• Reduce address space usage on Windows
• Remove set_dynamic_growth()
• Add set_initial_size() to Builder
• Optimize cleanup of deleted pages. This resolves a performance issue where openning a Database
  or performing a small transaction, could be slow if the last committed transaction deleted a large
  number of pages
• Remove set_page_size(). 4kB pages are always used now
• Add iter() method to Table and MultimapTable
• Fix various lifetime issues with type that had a lifetime, such as &str and (&[u8], u64)

0.9.0

• Add support for dynamic file growth on Windows
• Add support for tuple types as keys and values
• Remove Builder::set_region_size
• Save lifetime from Savepoint
• Fix crash when using create() to open an existing database created with WriteStrategy::TwoPhase
• Fix rare crash when writing a mix of small and very large values into the same table
• Performance optimizations

0.8.0

• Performance improvements for database files that are too large to fit in RAM
• Fix deadlock in concurrent calls to savepoint() and restore_savepoint()
• Fix crash if restore_savepoint() failed
• Move savepoint() and restore_savepoint() methods to WriteTransaction
• Implement Iterator for the types returned from range() and remove_all()

0.7.0

• Add support for Windows
• Add Database::set_write_strategy which allows the WriteStrategy of the database to be changed after creation
• Make Database::begin_write block, instead of panic'ing, if there is another write already in progress
• Add Database::savepoint and Database::restore_savepoint which can be used to snapshot and rollback the database
• Rename DatabaseBuilder to Builder
• Performance optimizations for large databases

0.6.1

• Fix crash when Database::open() was called on a database that had been created with WriteStrategy::TwoPhase
• Change default region size on 32bit platforms to 4GiB

0.6.0

• Return Err instead of panic'ing when opening a database file with an incompatible file format version
• Many optimizations to the file format, and progress toward stabilizing it
• Fix race between read & write transactions, which could cause reads to return corrupted data
• Better document the different WriteStrategys
• Fix panic when recovering a database that was uncleanly shutdown, which had been created with WriteStrategy::Checksum (which is the default)
• Fix panic when using insert_reserve() in certain cases

0.5.0

Major features

Optimize MultimapTable storage format to use O(k * log(n_k) + v * log(n_v / n_k)) space instead of O(k * log(n_k + n_v) + v * log(n_k + n_v)) space, where k is the size of the stored keys, v is the size of the stored values, n_k is the number of stored keys, n_v is the number of stored values

Minor features

• Add support for the unit type, (), as a value
• Change MultimapTable::range to return an iterator of key-value-collection pairs, instead of key-value pairs
• Automatically abort WriteTransaction on drop
• Return an error when attempting to open the same database file for writing in multiple locations, concurrently

Fixes

• Fix compilation errors for 32bit x86 targets
• More robust handling of fsync failures
