We are pleased to announce that a new release of Oracle Berkeley DB, version 11.2.5.2.28, is available today. 
  Our latest release includes yet more value added features for SQLite users, as  well as several performance enhancements and new customer-requested  features to the key-value pair API.  We continue to provide technology  leadership, features and performance for SQLite applications.  This  release introduces additional features that are not available in native SQLite, and adds functionality allowing customers to create richer, more scalable, more concurrent applications using the Berkeley DB SQL API.  
  This release is compelling to Oracle’s customers and partners because it: 
   
    delivers a complete, embeddable SQL92 database 
    as a library under 1MB size 
    drop-in API compatible with SQLite version 3 
    no-oversight, zero-touch database administration 
    industrial quality, battle tested Berkeley DB B-TREE for concurrent transactional data storage 
   
  New Features Include: 
   
    MVCC support for even higher concurrency 
    direct SQL support for HA/replication 
    transactionally protected Sequence number generation functions 
     
      lower memory requirements, shared memory regions and faster/smaller memory on startup 
     
    easier B-TREE page size configuration with new ''db_tuner" utility 
   
  New Key-Value API Features Include: 
   
    HEAP access method for constrained disk-space applications (key-value API)  
    faster QUEUE access method operations for highly concurrent applications -- up 2-3X faster! (key-value API)  
    new X/open compliant XA resource manager, easily integrated with Oracle Tuxedo (key-value API) 
     
      additional HA/replication management and communication options (key-value API) 
     
   
  and a lot more!  
  BDB is hands-down the best edge, mobile, and embedded database available to developers.
