hamsterdb 1.0.0rc1 - Release Notes

This is the release candidate for version 1.0. A few bugs were fixed, and the behaviour of ham_close and ham_env_close changed.

When inserting with ham_cursor_insert, and the function fails, the cursor became uninitialized
When inserting keys, a cursor attached to a page could become detached, but the cursor handle was not updated correctly

API change for ham_env_close: if you call ham_env_close and there are still open Databases, the function will no longer fail with HAM_ENV_NOT_EMPTY; instead, the Databases are closed with ham_close; you still have to close the Cursors of each Database, though.
API change for ham_close: if you call ham_close and there are still open Cursors, the function will no longer fail with HAM_DB_NOT_EMPTY; instead, the Cursors are invalidated, but you still have to call ham_cursor_close to prevent memory leaks. Alternatively, the flag HAM_AUTO_CLEANUP implicitely calls ham_cursor_close on each function.
Calling ham_set_prefix_compare_func with NULL as a function pointer does no longer set the default prefix compare function, but completely disables prefix comparison
Most errors now emit ham_trace debug messages, which are also compiled in Release mode; they can be made visible with a custom error handler function
Removed the function ham_dump; it was replaced by a command line tool in the previous release and is no longer necessary
