### Release 4.2: DB->verify

In previous releases, applications calling the DB->verify method had to explicitly discard the DB handle by calling the DB->close method. Further, using the DB handle in other ways after calling the DB->verify method was not prohibited by the documentation, although such use was likely to lead to problems.

For consistency with other Berkeley DB methods, DB->verify method has been documented in the current release as a DB handle destructor. Applications using the DB handle in any way (including calling the DB->close method) after calling DB->verify should be updated to make no further use of any kind of the DB handle after DB->verify returns.
