5TODO: check memleaks
61.8
7 - non-callback requests will now - by default - be executed in the
8 foreground, which is much faster, but doesn't allow parallel
9 processing of other, event-based, requests.
10 - functions that modify their arguments now croak when a constant
11 is passed to them.
12 - db_c_get/db_c_pget requests did not correctly test the operation flags.
13 - db_pget now corretcly updates the pkey argument.
14 - keep references to the passed env/db/etc. objects so they
15 can't get destroyed while requests are still outstanding.
16 - fixed a few minor stack issues.
17
181.71 Tue Jul 29 05:30:24 CEST 2008
19 - add const char * to typemap for possible 5.6 support.
20 - untested support for db4.3.
21 - berkelydb needs seriously larger stacksizes (on x86 at least)
22 then what the default xthread.h provides.
23
241.7 Thu Jul 17 14:09:25 CEST 2008
25 - use a totally different mechanism to pass callbacks to
26 requests (see manpage).
27 - optional arguments before the callback can now be left out.
28 - use less memory per request, probably be a bit faster, too.
29 - fix a memory leak (callbacks were never freed).
30 - add a basic testsuite.
31 - add (untested) support for cdsgroup_begin and db_exists.
32 - make BDB::VERSION compatible to UNIVERSAL::VERSION.
33
341.6 Tue Jul 8 10:34:58 CEST 2008
35 - add new BDB::VERSION function for easy version checks.
36 - work around broken bsd headers once more.
37 - support for berkeley db 4.7 added.
38 - add support for log_set_config and it's constants,
39 and set_intermediate_dir_mode.
40 - add db_env_dbrename and db_env_dbremove.
41
421.5 Sat May 10 22:22:42 CEST 2008
43 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
44 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
45 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
46 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
47 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
48 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
49 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
50 - support AnyEvent::BDB.
51
521.45 Sun Mar 30 10:01:00 CEST 2008
53 - work around win32 perl's broken filehandles
54 (this cannot work in all cases, so watch out).
55
561.44 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
57 - encode filenames as utf-8 (for bdb/win32)
58 or binary (everywhere else).
59 - patch $! to support stringification of BDB errno values
60 (utter hack, this should be pluggable :).
61 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
62
631.43 Sun Jan 13 11:52:49 CET 2008
64 - differentiate between nuked and undef objects, so as to
65 not throw an exception when destroying closed handles.
66
671.42 Tue Dec 25 15:22:50 CET 2007
68 - do not automatically call set_thread_count.
69
701.41 Sat Dec 22 08:32:41 CET 2007
71 - add cursor->set_priority.
72 - minor optimisations and checks.
73 - port to microsoft pseudo-C again.
74
751.4 Wed Dec 12 02:20:39 CET 2007
76 - new globals BDB::VERSION and ..VERSION_STRING.
77 - add db_upgrade.
78 - do not die in DESTROY after explicit db_close and similar
79 operations.
80
811.3 Fri Dec 7 14:36:25 CET 2007
82 - db_put and c_put leaked memory like hell (reported by Danny).
83 - de-IO::AIO-ify the documentation.
84 - port to microsofts pseudo-C from hell.
85 - added mutex_set_increment, mutex_set_tas_spins
86 and mutex_set_max, mutex_set_align.
87
881.2 Tue Dec 4 11:12:47 CET 2007
89 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
90 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
91 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
92 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
93 - added missing DB::RDONLY (reported by Danny).
94
951.1 Sun Sep 16 20:15:55 CEST 2007
4 - flag and check TXN_DEADLOCK flag for easier transaction 96 - flag and check TXN_DEADLOCK flag for easier transaction
5 programming. 97 programming (see db_txn_finish).
6 - new custom db_txn_finish request. 98 - new custom db_txn_finish request.
7 - improved docs. 99 - improved docs.
