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 - add (untested) support for cdsgroup_begin and db_exists.
11
12 1.6 Tue Jul 8 10:34:58 CEST 2008
13 - add new BDB::VERSION function for easy version checks.
14 - work around broken bsd headers once more.
15 - support for berkeley db 4.7 added.
16 - add support for log_set_config and it's constants,
17 and set_intermediate_dir_mode.
18 - add db_env_dbrename and db_env_dbremove.
19
20 1.5 Sat May 10 22:22:42 CEST 2008
21 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
22 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
23 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
24 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
25 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
26 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
27 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
28 - support AnyEvent::BDB.
29
30 1.45 Sun Mar 30 10:01:00 CEST 2008
31 - work around win32 perl's broken filehandles
32 (this cannot work in all cases, so watch out).
33
34 1.44 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
35 - encode filenames as utf-8 (for bdb/win32)
36 or binary (everywhere else).
37 - patch $! to support stringification of BDB errno values
38 (utter hack, this should be pluggable :).
39 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
40
41 1.43 Sun Jan 13 11:52:49 CET 2008
42 - differentiate between nuked and undef objects, so as to
43 not throw an exception when destroying closed handles.
44
45 1.42 Tue Dec 25 15:22:50 CET 2007
46 - do not automatically call set_thread_count.
47
48 1.41 Sat Dec 22 08:32:41 CET 2007
49 - add cursor->set_priority.
50 - minor optimisations and checks.
51 - port to microsoft pseudo-C again.
52
53 1.4 Wed Dec 12 02:20:39 CET 2007
54 - new globals BDB::VERSION and ..VERSION_STRING.
55 - add db_upgrade.
56 - do not die in DESTROY after explicit db_close and similar
57 operations.
58
59 1.3 Fri Dec 7 14:36:25 CET 2007
60 - db_put and c_put leaked memory like hell (reported by Danny).
61 - de-IO::AIO-ify the documentation.
62 - port to microsofts pseudo-C from hell.
63 - added mutex_set_increment, mutex_set_tas_spins
64 and mutex_set_max, mutex_set_align.
65
66 1.2 Tue Dec 4 11:12:47 CET 2007
67 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
68 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
69 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
70 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
71 - added missing DB::RDONLY (reported by Danny).
72
73 1.1 Sun Sep 16 20:15:55 CEST 2007
74 - flag and check TXN_DEADLOCK flag for easier transaction
75 programming (see db_txn_finish).
76 - new custom db_txn_finish request.
77 - improved docs.
78
79 1.0 Mon Aug 13 14:02:42 CEST 2007
80 - some updates for db 4.6.
81 - vastly improved documentation, i.e. there is some now.
82 - this module has been tested a lot in the Crossfire TRT server.
83
84 0.5 Sun Jul 8 16:57:03 CEST 2007
85 - port to db 4.4.20 (probably any 4.4 version).
86 - added bdb error constants.
87 - add set_errfile/set_msgfile/set_verbose.
88 - shared code between IO::AIO and BDB.
89 - upgrade to xthread.h from IO::AIO for win32 compatibility.
90 - port to win32 (there is an unexplainable hang in
91 db_sequence_get...).
92
93 0.1 Mon Mar 5 20:44:18 CET 2007
94 - cloned from IO::AIO.
