  39       <p>The 4.3 release removes support for logs-only replication clients.  Use
  40 of the DB_REP_LOGSONLY flag to the <a href="../api_reference/C/repstart.html" class="olink">DB_ENV-&gt;rep_start()</a> should be replaced
  41 with the <a href="../api_reference/C/repmgrstart.html#repmgrstart_DB_REP_CLIENT" class="olink">DB_REP_CLIENT</a> flag.</p>
  42       <p>The 4.3 release adds two new arguments to the <a href="../api_reference/C/repelect.html" class="olink">DB_ENV-&gt;rep_elect()</a> method,
  43 <span class="bold"><strong>nvotes</strong></span> and <span class="bold"><strong>flags</strong></span>.  The <span class="bold"><strong>nvotes</strong></span> argument sets the
  44 required number of replication group members that must participate in
  45 an election in order for a master to be declared.  For backward
  46 compatibility, set the <span class="bold"><strong>nvotes</strong></span> argument to 0.  The flags argument
  47 is currently unused and should be set to 0.  See <a href="../api_reference/C/repelect.html" class="olink">DB_ENV-&gt;rep_elect()</a> method or
  48 "Replication Elections" for more information.</p>
  49       <p>In the 4.3 release it is no longer necessary to do a database
  50 environment hot backup to initialize a replication client.  All that is
  51 needed now is for the client to join the replication group.  Berkeley DB will
  52 perform an internal backup from the master to the client automatically
  53 and will run recovery on the client to bring it up to date with the
  54 master.</p>
