<p>The C API for the Berkeley DB Logging subsystem was reworked in the 4.0
release as follows:</p>

<p>Applications calling any of these functions should update their calls
to use the enclosing <a href="../api_reference/C/env.html" class="olink">DB_ENV class</a> handle's method (in all cases other
than the log_get call, this is easily done as the first argument to the
existing call is the correct handle to use).</p>
<p>Application calls to the historic log_get function must be replaced
with the creation of a log file cursor (a <a href="../api_reference/C/logc.html" class="olink">DB_LOGC class</a> object), using
the <a href="../api_reference/C/logcursor.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->log_cursor()</a> method to retrieve log
records and calls to the <a href="../api_reference/C/logcclose.html" class="olink">DB_LOGC->close()</a> method to destroy the cursor. It
may also be possible to simplify some applications. In previous
releases of Berkeley DB, the DB_CURRENT, DB_NEXT, and DB_PREV flags to the
log_get function could not be used by a free-threaded <a href="../api_reference/C/env.html" class="olink">DB_ENV class</a>
handle. If their <a href="../api_reference/C/env.html" class="olink">DB_ENV class</a> handle was free-threaded, applications
had to create an additional, unique environment handle by separately
calling <a href="../api_reference/C/envopen.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->open()</a>. This
is no longer an issue in the log cursor interface, and applications may
be able to remove the now unnecessary creation of the additional
<a href="../api_reference/C/env.html" class="olink">DB_ENV class</a> object.</p>
<p>Finally, the <a href="../api_reference/C/logstat.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->log_stat()</a> call has been changed in the 4.0 release
to take a flags argument. To leave their historic behavior unchanged,
applications should add a final argument of 0 to any calls made to
<a href="../api_reference/C/logstat.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->log_stat()</a>.</p>
