hamsterdb 1.0.3 adds support for logging and recovery. Both make hamsterdb even more fail-safe in case of a system crash or application crash. Logging can be enabled by specifying the flag HAM_ENABLE_RECOVERY.
I hope that i will soon have some time to write more about the recovery-implementation.
Download, Changelog and release notes can be found on hamsterdb.com.
New front page picture, new code, better layout and commercial licensing!
The Python wrapper for hamsterdb is now available!

Additional stuff, i.e. unittests, can be downloaded from the subversion trunk:
svn export svn://www.hamsterdb.org/home/chris/repos/hamsterdb-python/trunk
Finally a new hamsterdb release! Behind the scenes i’m working hard on getting Recovery/Logging implemented, but it turned out to be more complicated than expected. I hope that in another two weeks i’m finally ready for a release.
Also, the Python wrapper is nearly finished. Release 1.0.2 adds an API function which i need for Python.
This release also fixes three bugs:
1. an assert fired with no obvious reason when closing a Database (only in debug builds)
2. when creating an Environment with a custom page size, the page size was not stored in the Environment file
3. when calling ham_cursor_overwrite(), the affected Database page was not released correctly after the operation, and therefore could not be removed from the cache
