+xb64 4.0.0 Release notes
+
+ List of updates with xbase 4.0.0
+ 1) Converted from automake/autoconf to cmake
+ 2) Updated xbstring logic
+ 3) Created test programs for using in cmake
+ 4) Tested each method in the following environments
+ A) Linux Slackware 64 bit
+ B) Linux Slackware 32 bit
+ C) Mac OSX Lion, 64 bit build
+ D) Windows 64 bit build
+ E) Windows 32 bit build
+ F) Borland 32 bit build
+ 5) Updated the Get/Put field methods so they all have a
+ common look and feel. All the get/put methods now return
+ a return code indicating success/failure.
+ 6) Abstracted file i/o activity into xbFile class - used to
+ isolate the platform specifics out of the main dbms class
+ and improve portability. Utilized 64 bit functions where
+ possible
+ 7) Reworked the Lock logic, tested on various platforms.
+ Mac OSX supports on locking on NFS shares only.
+ Mac does not support locking on SMB shares - OS limitation.
+ Unix based file systems don't support file lock functionality,
+ if using in combination with sdoftware like DBase, Dbase supports
+ exclusive locking which is not supported on native Linux file systems
+ 8) Converted integer field names and checked for correct field lengths
+ xbInt16 16 bit integer
+ xbUInt16 16 bit unsigned integer
+ xbInt32 32 bit integer
+ xbUInt32 32 bit unsigned integer
+ xbInt64 64 bit integer
+ xbUInt64 64 bit unsigned integer
