Patch Notice:

Berkeley DB XML development has been active and we have
identified a total
of eight (8) issues in the 2.3.10 release.  We have
corrected these issues
with source code patches that you must apply to our code
before you
configure and build Berkeley DB XML.  Please note that the
Windows binary
installers do *not* install patched libraries or tools (we
apologies for
this).  If you are working with Berkeley DB XML on Windows
you will need to
patch the source, then re-build the binaries according to
the Windows build
instructions in the documentation. 

We appreciate the community's help finding these issues and
the patience you
have shown as we correct them.


The issues addressed are:

1. Certain runtime errors during query execution when using
modules cause a
double free.
2. Fixed a bug which incorrectly reported an error for
fractional seconds
when the seconds filed was "59".
3. Fix a problem with XmlIndexLookup where a GT lookup that
happens to start
with the last entry in the index might return results when
it should return
none.
4. Improved query performance for queries consisting of a
simple path and
predicate.
5. Improved index utilisation for user defined functions
that are called
more than once in the query.
6. Certain predicates containing "or" and an
unoptimizable sub-expression do
not optimize correctly.
7. Fixes several problems with XmlModify, including a SEGV
that can occur
when removing a last child element that has leading text.
[#15615]
8. Bug in statistics calculation for substring indexes, that
could result in
a crash. [#15823]


The patches can be found here:

If you are running Berkeley DB XML 2.3.10 we recommend that
you download all
eight patches, and save them within the dbxml-2.3.10
directory. Then use the
'patch' utility from within the distribution directory.

% cd dbxml-2.3.10
% patch -p1 < patch.2.3.10.1
% patch -p1 < patch.2.3.10.2

  ...and so on, for all 8 patches.


Questions about this patch, applying it, or other Berkeley
DB XML issues are
welcome on the OTN forum.
