+Release 1.2 2011-05-16
+----------------------
+
+Fixes for larger databases (tested up to one billion 100-byte entries,
+i.e., ~100GB).
+
+(1) Place hard limit on number of level-0 files.  This fixes errors
+of the form "too many open files".
+
+(2) Fixed memtable management.  Before the fix, a heavy write burst
+could cause unbounded memory usage.
+
+A fix for a logging bug where the reader would incorrectly complain
+about corruption.
+
+Allow public access to WriteBatch contents so that users can easily
+wrap a DB.
