- update to 18.1.11:
  * WARNING - BREAKING CHANGE: Drop support for Python 3.8. This
    breaking change should usually require a major and/or minor
    number update. Since berkeleydb traditional numbering is
    related to the higher Oracle Berkeley DB supported, I would
    usually wait until Oracle releases a new version to upgrade
    my own version and deprecate old Python support at the same
    time. Given that Oracle has not released a new Oracle
    Berkeley DB in almost five years, I must break this practice
    for now. I am sorry if this update breaks your Python 3.8
    environment. In that case, please pin your berkeleydb
    installation to

- update to 18.1.10:
  * Since MS Windows is unsupported without community help, I
    deleted some legacy code. It could be restored if there is
    demand and some help to improve MS Windows support.
  * New URL for :Oracle:`Oracle documentation <index.html>`.
  * Now we also use Python Stable ABI under Python 3.8 and 3.9.
    Under Python 3.10 and up we can define types that users can
    not instantiate as Py_TPFLAGS_DISALLOW_INSTANTIATION, but
    that flag is not available under previous Python versions. In
    Python 3.8 and 3.9 we used to do type->tp_new = NULL; for
    that, but this approach is not available under Python Stable
    ABI. That is the reason this module could use Python Stable
    ABI only when compiled under Python 3.10 and superior. In
    this release we define the slot Py_tp_new as NULL in Python
    3.8 and 3.9 to achieve the same effect, and that is available
    under Python Stable ABI.
  * Since this module can now use Python Stable ABI under all
    supported Python releases, that is exactly what we do. From
    now on this module always uses Python Stable ABI.
  * WARNING - BREAKING CHANGE: Change return value of
    berkeleydb.py_limited_api(). This function was introduced in
    18.1.9 and it is used to indicate if the module was using the
    Python Stable ABI or not, and the version Python Stable ABI
    used. Now that the module has been improved to use Python
    Stable ABI always, the function returns a tuple of integers.
    First tuple element tells us what Python Stable ABI version
    are we supporting. Second element tells us what Python
    release was this module compiled under, although it should
    work in any more recent Python release. Since this function
    was introduced in release 18.1.9, we consider this breaking
