Details

Previously transactions are never closed until commit or rollback.
Timeout for transactions was implemented after which they are rolled
back. For these purpose, in box.begin the optional table parameter
was added. For example if user want to start transaction with timeout
3s, he should use box.begin({timeout = 3}). Also was implement new
configuration option box.cfg.txn_timeout which determines timeout for
transactions, for which the timeout was not explicitly set. By default
this option is set to infinity (TIMEOUT_INFINITY = 365 * 100 * 86400).
Also in C API was added new function to set timeout for transaction -
box_txn_set_timeout.
