Where Do I Report Bugs?

What Should the Bug Report Contain?

The bug report should be as specific as possible, so that the room for interpretation is very small:

Steps to reproduce the bug. In order to fix the bug a step by step instruction on how to reproduce the issue is essential.
When possible include a the test-code which reproduces the issue.
Include the db4o version in your bug report. The complete version of db4o is included in the jar-name.
Include information about your platform. Which Java Version and what kind of device (like Android). Which .NET version and what kind of device (for example a embedded system)
In case of exceptions, please add also the stack trace.
