<p>Applications calling any of these functions should update their calls
32
to use the enclosing <a href="../../api_c/env_class.html">DB_ENV</a> handle's method (in all cases other
33
than the log_get call, this is easily done as the first argument to the
34
existing call is the correct handle to use).
35
<p>Application calls to the historic log_get interface must be replaced
36
with the creation of a log file cursor (a <a href="../../api_c/logc_class.html">DB_LOGC</a> object), using
37
the <a href="../../api_c/log_cursor.html">DB_ENV->log_cursor</a> method, calls to the <a href="../../api_c/logc_get.html">DB_LOGC->get</a> method to retrieve log
38
records and calls to the <a href="../../api_c/logc_close.html">DB_LOGC->close</a> method to destroy the cursor. It
39
may also be possible to simplify some applications. In previous
40
releases of Berkeley DB, the DB_CURRENT, DB_NEXT, and DB_PREV flags to the
41
log_get function could not be used by a free-threaded <a href="../../api_c/env_class.html">DB_ENV</a>
42
handle. If their <a href="../../api_c/env_class.html">DB_ENV</a> handle was free-threaded, applications
43
had to create an additional, unique environment handle by separately
44
calling <a href="../../api_c/env_open.html">DB_ENV->open</a> without specifying <a href="../../api_c/env_open.html#DB_THREAD">DB_THREAD</a>. This
45
is no longer an issue in the log cursor interface, and applications may
46
be able to remove the now unnecessary creation of the additional
47
<a href="../../api_c/env_class.html">DB_ENV</a> object.
48
<p>Finally, the <a href="../../api_c/log_stat.html">DB_ENV->log_stat</a> call has been changed in the 4.0 release
49
to take a flags argument. To leave their historic behavior unchanged,
50
applications should add a final argument of 0 to any calls made to
51
<a href="../../api_c/log_stat.html">DB_ENV->log_stat</a>.
