<h3>Interface Additions and Changes:</h3>
<ol>

<p>No Windows XA interface is included.
</font>
</ol>
<h3>Configuration and Build Changes:</h3>
<ol>
<p><li>
FreeBSD systems are now built using the flags <b>-D_THREAD_SAFE</b> and
<b>-pthread</b> instead of directly loading with the <b>-lc_r</b> library.
<p><li>
Linux systems are now built using the <b>-D_REENTRANT</b> flag.
</ol>
<h3>Additional Changes:</h3>
<ol>
<p><li>
The default memory pool cache size has been increase from 128K to 256K.
</ol>
<h3>Additional Bug Fixes:</h3>
<ol>
<p><li>
Freeing memory allocated by the TCL library historically failed on Windows
platforms, due to a mismatch of malloc/free implementations between the
TCL library and the Berkeley DB module. (This change only affects the
Berkeley DB test suite.)
