----------------------------------------------------------------------

with Eloquence B.07.00. This patch will be integrated in the
Eloquence B.07.00 release.

Eloquence B.07.00 must be installed before applying this patch.

Severity:
 PE70-0401132: ENHANCEMENT
 PE70-0305092: CRITICAL (database inconsistencies)


Patch PE70-0401132
------------------

Platforms: All

* dbfsck has been improved to recognize and fix a circular page link 
  in the server node directory.

* dbfsck has been improved to perform additional verification on btree 
  meta data.

* An experimental option -B was added to dbfsck to enable an additional
  check on internal btree linkage.

* dbfsck has been enhanced to allow specifying node ids (node numbers)
  on the command line. If specified pass 2 does only process the 
  specified nodes.

* dbfsck has been improved to handle and optionally clear an invalid 
  node type.

* dbfsck has been improved to offer the option of fixing a damaged 
  pool free list.

* dbfsck has been improved to offer clearing a damaged fixrec free list 
  when node meta information points to invalid block.


Patch PE70-0305092
------------------

Platforms: All

* dbfsck could fail to write back changes to the volume file (#1961).

  dbfsck saves any changes in a memory cache but might discard the
  changes before writing them back to disk. Due to this bug, fixes
  to the record free list in pass1 may not be written back to disk.
