+- update to 18.1.17:
+ * Python 3.16 added to the full test matrix.
+ * Experimental Python 3.16 support. Tested under 3.16.0a1.
+ * Since assertIsNone() and assertIsNotNone() are available
+ since Python 3.1, refactor some test code.
+ * If there is an error while building an exception, don't free
+ the wrong object anymore.
+ * Each subinterpreter has its own Capsule. A C module using a
+ BerkeleyDB Capsule should use the Capsule provided in the
+ subinterpreter calling the C module using that Capsule.
+ * Now, module name and module C capsule name are static
+ constants instead of rebuilding them in every import to the
+ same value always. The result is the same, but subinterpreter
+ linters are happier.
+ * We use Oracle Berkeley DB set_errcall() function to get extra
+ information when a DB function call fails. Unfortunately
+ Oracle Berkeley DB doesn't provide enough information to
+ correlate notifications with errors when multiple threads
+ fails simultaneously (we know the DB Environment but not the
+ DB handle). In this release, the buffer that gets the extra
+ error information is declared as _Thread_local, so we can
+ link errors and extra error information if the notification
+ is synchronous with the database call. Let's see how portable
+ this is, including MS Windows. Warning An undesirable side
+ effect is that now EVERY thread in your program, using Oracle
+ Berkeley DB or not, requires extra 1024 bytes of RAM and
+ thread creation is slightly more costly. I think the effect
+ is negligible, but you can provide feedback.
+ * Warning WARNING - BREAKING CHANGE: Drop support for Python
+ 3.10. This breaking change should usually require a major
+ and/or minor number update. Since berkeleydb traditional
+ numbering is related to the highest 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 since 2020, I must break this
+ practice for now. I am sorry if this update breaks your
+ Python 3.10 environment. In that case, please pin your
+ berkeleydb installation to version 18.1.15, the last Python
+ 3.10 compatible release. Send me constructive feedback if
+ appropriate.
+ * Python 3.15 is officially supported.
+ * Since current minimum Python supported is 3.11: We can
+ simplify code for database password management. We can use
+ PyType_GetName() instead of PyObject_GetAttrString().
+ * We can simplify code for database password management.
+ * We can use PyType_GetName() instead of
+ PyObject_GetAttrString().
+ * Remove setup.cfg and move its configuration to setup3.py.
+ * That change modifies what is included in the source
+ distribution. Update MANIFEST.in accordingly.
+ * Still not needed, but when minimal supported Python is 3.11
+ we need to do extra include in order to compile correctly. I
+ update the code now to forget about it when we drop Python
+ 3.10 support.
+ * Still not needed, but when minimal supported Python is 3.11,
+ we must conform with PEP 670. Get ready for that.
+ * Fix usage of PyType_GetName().
+ * Now types DBCursor, DBLogCursor, DBSite, DBTxn and DBLock are
+ inmutable. If this change break your code, please let me
+ know.
+ * Highly experimental support for Python SubInterpreters under
+ Python >= 3.12. In order to enable this experimental feature
+ you must install the bindings defining the
+ BERKELEYDB_EXPERIMENTAL_SUBINTERPRETERS environment variable.
+ The environment variable is ignored if compiling the bindings
+ under Python 3.10 or 3.11. For now this feature is
+ experimental and unsupported, but let me know any issue you
+ find in order to improve support.
+ * The new function berkeleydb.py_support_subinterpreters()
+ returns a boolean signaling if the bindings are compiled with
+ support of Python subinterpreters or not. The return value is
+ always False under Python 3.10 and Python 3.11.
+ * You can override the directory where the tests are run with
+ TMPDIR environment variable. If that environment variable is
+ not defined, test will run in ~/ram/ if exists and in /tmp/
+ if ~/ram/ doesn't exists or it is not a directory. The idea
+ is that ~/ram/ is a ramdisk and the test will run faster.
+ Previously, the ramdisk directory was expected in /tmp/ram/.
+ * Python 3.15 added to the full test matrix.
+ * Update copyright to 2026.
