Garbage collection has changed from regular mark-and-sweep to lazy sweep to using bitmap marking.
Unfortunately when migrating from 1.6.2 to 1.7.1 I lost a table (not sure how) and all secondary indexes :(
Overall, an exciting release. Going to upgrade and see what insert speed is like on my setup.

Which is why explicitly checking for "true" or "false" in a conditional is unusual.It is true that "and/or" are not equivalent to "&&/||". But I don't find any of the arguments that we should then avoid "and/or" in favor of "&&/||" convincing.
