Changes (by olly):

 * milestone:   => 1.3.x


Comment:

 There's a 32-bit assumption in glass currently:

 {{{
 /** How many bits to store the length of a sortable uint in.
  *
  *  Setting this to 2 limits us to 2**32 documents in the database.  If
 set
  *  to 3, then 2**64 documents are possible, but the database format isn't
  *  compatible.
  */
 const unsigned int SORTABLE_UINT_LOG2_MAX_BYTES = 2;
 }}}

 We should probably resolve that before 1.4.0, so glass is 64-bit ready.
 Need to check what the consequences of changing that are though.

 Marking this for 1.3.x, to at least resolve that.
