hamsterdb: release 1.1.3!
Four weeks after 1.1.2, here’s the next! The headline is “partial read/write” – records can now be read or written partially. This can be a benefit if your records are REALLY big. But it will also enable you to “stream” records.
This feature caused changes in the layout of ham_record_t. Therefore the ABI of hamsterdb is no longer compatible (but the API and the database file format are compatible). To avoid crashes, i incremented the libtool version and embedded the hamsterdb version in the win32 dll/lib filenames.
Also, i fixed a performance related bug in the caching – 1.1.3 should therefore be much faster than 1.1.2.
I added a new function “ham_get_env” to retrieve the Environment handle of a Database. (This handle always exists, even if it was not created explicitely).
Everything’s available on http://hamsterdb.com/download.
Next big feature will be a remote client/server setup. And i’ll FINALLY update the java/python/.NET wrappers.
