1 Revision history for perl module BDB.
2
3 1.7
4 - use a totally different mechanism to pass callbacks to
5 requests (see manpage).
6 - optional arguments before the callback can now be left out.
7 - use less memory per request, probably be a bit faster, too.
8 - fix a memory leak (callbacks were never freed).
9 - add a basic testsuite.
10
11 1.6 Tue Jul 8 10:34:58 CEST 2008
12 - add new BDB::VERSION function for easy version checks.
13 - work around broken bsd headers once more.
14 - support for berkeley db 4.7 added.
15 - add support for log_set_config and it's constants,
16 and set_intermediate_dir_mode.
17 - add db_env_dbrename and db_env_dbremove.
18
19 1.5 Sat May 10 22:22:42 CEST 2008
20 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
21 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
22 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
23 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
24 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
25 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
26 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
27 - support AnyEvent::BDB.
28
29 1.45 Sun Mar 30 10:01:00 CEST 2008
30 - work around win32 perl's broken filehandles
31 (this cannot work in all cases, so watch out).
32
33 1.44 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
34 - encode filenames as utf-8 (for bdb/win32)
35 or binary (everywhere else).
36 - patch $! to support stringification of BDB errno values
37 (utter hack, this should be pluggable :).
38 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
39
40 1.43 Sun Jan 13 11:52:49 CET 2008
41 - differentiate between nuked and undef objects, so as to
42 not throw an exception when destroying closed handles.
43
44 1.42 Tue Dec 25 15:22:50 CET 2007
45 - do not automatically call set_thread_count.
46
47 1.41 Sat Dec 22 08:32:41 CET 2007
48 - add cursor->set_priority.
49 - minor optimisations and checks.
50 - port to microsoft pseudo-C again.
51
52 1.4 Wed Dec 12 02:20:39 CET 2007
53 - new globals BDB::VERSION and ..VERSION_STRING.
54 - add db_upgrade.
55 - do not die in DESTROY after explicit db_close and similar
56 operations.
57
58 1.3 Fri Dec 7 14:36:25 CET 2007
59 - db_put and c_put leaked memory like hell (reported by Danny).
60 - de-IO::AIO-ify the documentation.
61 - port to microsofts pseudo-C from hell.
62 - added mutex_set_increment, mutex_set_tas_spins
63 and mutex_set_max, mutex_set_align.
64
65 1.2 Tue Dec 4 11:12:47 CET 2007
66 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
67 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
68 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
69 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
70 - added missing DB::RDONLY (reported by Danny).
71
72 1.1 Sun Sep 16 20:15:55 CEST 2007
73 - flag and check TXN_DEADLOCK flag for easier transaction
74 programming (see db_txn_finish).
75 - new custom db_txn_finish request.
76 - improved docs.
77
78 1.0 Mon Aug 13 14:02:42 CEST 2007
79 - some updates for db 4.6.
80 - vastly improved documentation, i.e. there is some now.
81 - this module has been tested a lot in the Crossfire TRT server.
82
83 0.5 Sun Jul 8 16:57:03 CEST 2007
84 - port to db 4.4.20 (probably any 4.4 version).
85 - added bdb error constants.
86 - add set_errfile/set_msgfile/set_verbose.
87 - shared code between IO::AIO and BDB.
88 - upgrade to xthread.h from IO::AIO for win32 compatibility.
89 - port to win32 (there is an unexplainable hang in
90 db_sequence_get...).
91
92 0.1 Mon Mar 5 20:44:18 CET 2007
93 - cloned from IO::AIO.
