- update to 18.1.14:
* Warning WARNING - BREAKING CHANGE: We eliminate dbobj.py. It
was very outdated and it was only barely useful if you wanted
to create subclasses of berkeleydb classes.
* Allow unicode and binary keys when using encryption.
Previously, only unicode keys were allowed. In both cases,
null bytes will raise an exception.
* Correctly display (in the raised exception) the type of the
parameter when it is not accepted, beside the required type.
This solves a regression introduced in 18.1.9.
* Delete stale and outdated entries in the TO DO file.
* Solve some redefinitions in the dictionary returned by
DBEnv.lock_stat() and add more entries: Berkeley DB >= 4.8:
locksteals, maxhlocks, maxhobjects, maxlsteals, maxosteals,
objectsteals, part_max_nowait, part_max_wait, part_nowait,
part_wait, partitions. Berkeley DB >= 5.3: initlocks,
initlockers, initobjects, lockers, locks, objects, tablesize.
Berkeley DB >= 6.2: nlockers_hit, nlockers_reused.
* Berkeley DB >= 4.8: locksteals, maxhlocks, maxhobjects,
maxlsteals, maxosteals, objectsteals, part_max_nowait,
part_max_wait, part_nowait, part_wait, partitions.
* Berkeley DB >= 5.3: initlocks, initlockers, initobjects,
lockers, locks, objects, tablesize.
* Berkeley DB >= 6.2: nlockers_hit, nlockers_reused.
* Add more entries to DBEnv.log_stat() if we are using Berkeley
DB >= 5.3: fileid_init, maxnfileid, nfileid.
* nelem value in DB.stat() for hash databases was dropped some
time ago. Update stale documentation. That value is actually
available via DB.get_h_nelem().
* Improve docs explaining the end value in the dictionary

* WARNING: Being able to compile the bindings on non x86/x86_64 Linux
systems (ARM, RISC-V, etc). This improvement required to change the
way compilation on Linux worked. If you find any issue with this,
please report.
* Compile the C module with extra static analysis and be more strict.
* Some functions have unused parameters that we would like to preserve.
* Different types in different python subinterpreters are tricky under
Py_LIMITED_API < Python 3.10. We will delete the workarounds when
Python 3.10 be the minimal supported version.
* Delete some unused parameters thru all the source code.
* Be explicit and complete in the sentinel values.
* Be explicit initializing (missing) docstrings.
* Rewrite some function prototypes to avoid warning when being strict
and to avoid unneeded function castings.
+ Functions METH_NOARGS require two parameters, although one of them
will be ignored.
* Be sure we don't wrap an unsigned int operation, bypassing an assertion.
* Update copyright to 2025.
* Oracle Berkeley DB>=5.3: Beside db.DB_VERSION_STRING we now have
db.DB_VERSION_FULL_STRING.
* Oracle Berkeley DB>=6.2: Beside db.DB_DBT_BLOB we now have
db.DB_DBT_EXT_FILE.
* Being able to test against an especific Oracle Berkeley DB release.
* Code cleanup:
+ Remove unnecessary semicolons in Python code.
+ Remove unused imports.
+ Split multiple imports in a single line.
+ Split multiple statements in multiple lines.
+ Delete dead assignments.

- update to 18.1.11:
* WARNING - BREAKING CHANGE: Drop support for Python 3.8. This
breaking change should usually require a major and/or minor
number update. Since berkeleydb traditional numbering is
related to the higher Oracle Berkeley DB supported, I would
usually wait until Oracle releases a new version to upgrade
my own version and deprecate old Python support at the same
time. Given that Oracle has not released a new Oracle
Berkeley DB in almost five years, I must break this practice
for now. I am sorry if this update breaks your Python 3.8
environment. In that case, please pin your berkeleydb
installation to

- update to 18.1.10:
* Since MS Windows is unsupported without community help, I
deleted some legacy code. It could be restored if there is
demand and some help to improve MS Windows support.
* New URL for :Oracle:`Oracle documentation <index.html>`.
* Now we also use Python Stable ABI under Python 3.8 and 3.9.
Under Python 3.10 and up we can define types that users can
not instantiate as Py_TPFLAGS_DISALLOW_INSTANTIATION, but
that flag is not available under previous Python versions. In
Python 3.8 and 3.9 we used to do type->tp_new = NULL; for
that, but this approach is not available under Python Stable
ABI. That is the reason this module could use Python Stable
ABI only when compiled under Python 3.10 and superior. In
this release we define the slot Py_tp_new as NULL in Python
3.8 and 3.9 to achieve the same effect, and that is available
under Python Stable ABI.
* Since this module can now use Python Stable ABI under all
supported Python releases, that is exactly what we do. From
now on this module always uses Python Stable ABI.
* WARNING - BREAKING CHANGE: Change return value of
berkeleydb.py_limited_api(). This function was introduced in
18.1.9 and it is used to indicate if the module was using the
Python Stable ABI or not, and the version Python Stable ABI
used. Now that the module has been improved to use Python
Stable ABI always, the function returns a tuple of integers.
First tuple element tells us what Python Stable ABI version
are we supporting. Second element tells us what Python
release was this module compiled under, although it should
work in any more recent Python release. Since this function
was introduced in release 18.1.9, we consider this breaking
