change log for February 2025
By default, the server automatically starts a transaction when creating, deleting, and renaming files if a transaction has not yet been started. This change prevents automatic recovery errors on transaction-controlled files created without the transaction-dependent feature. If desired, the feature can be disabled at startup by setting an option in the server configuration file.
