Oracle just released Berkeley DB 5.0.21, with features like SQLite façade.

I am now testing pybsddb 5.0.0, that supports BDB 5.0.x.

My original plan was to delay integration of pybsddb 5.x.x for 2.7.1 release, but Larry Hastings has a (sensible) request to migrate pybsddb from CObject to Capsule for 2.7.0. Current pybsddb 5.0.0 already contains that change.

I am reluctant to integrate the code change before beta1, because although it should be transparent I don't want to risk a red buildbot, even for 20 minutes, so close to beta1. Integrating it between beta1 and beta2 would be riskless, but it would break API compatibility (because the CObject->Capsule) change.

I don't know how many people depend of the pybsddb C api, although I think that very little.

What should I do?. When is the beta1 window closed?

PS: I would need a couple of hours for integration, but beware timezone! (Spain :).
