1 Revision history for perl module BDB.
2
3 TODO: keep references properly
4 - fixed a few minor stack issues.
5
6 1.71 Tue Jul 29 05:30:24 CEST 2008
7 - add const char * to typemap for possible 5.6 support.
8 - untested support for db4.3.
9 - berkelydb needs seriously larger stacksizes on x86 at least
10 then what the default xthread.h provides.
11
12 1.7 Thu Jul 17 14:09:25 CEST 2008
13 - use a totally different mechanism to pass callbacks to
14 requests (see manpage).
15 - optional arguments before the callback can now be left out.
16 - use less memory per request, probably be a bit faster, too.
17 - fix a memory leak (callbacks were never freed).
18 - add a basic testsuite.
19 - add (untested) support for cdsgroup_begin and db_exists.
20 - make BDB::VERSION compatible to UNIVERSAL::VERSION.
21
22 1.6 Tue Jul 8 10:34:58 CEST 2008
23 - add new BDB::VERSION function for easy version checks.
24 - work around broken bsd headers once more.
25 - support for berkeley db 4.7 added.
26 - add support for log_set_config and it's constants,
27 and set_intermediate_dir_mode.
28 - add db_env_dbrename and db_env_dbremove.
29
30 1.5 Sat May 10 22:22:42 CEST 2008
31 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
32 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
33 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
34 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
35 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
36 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
37 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
38 - support AnyEvent::BDB.
39
40 1.45 Sun Mar 30 10:01:00 CEST 2008
41 - work around win32 perl's broken filehandles
42 (this cannot work in all cases, so watch out).
43
44 1.44 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
45 - encode filenames as utf-8 (for bdb/win32)
46 or binary (everywhere else).
47 - patch $! to support stringification of BDB errno values
48 (utter hack, this should be pluggable :).
49 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
50
51 1.43 Sun Jan 13 11:52:49 CET 2008
52 - differentiate between nuked and undef objects, so as to
53 not throw an exception when destroying closed handles.
54
55 1.42 Tue Dec 25 15:22:50 CET 2007
56 - do not automatically call set_thread_count.
57
58 1.41 Sat Dec 22 08:32:41 CET 2007
59 - add cursor->set_priority.
60 - minor optimisations and checks.
61 - port to microsoft pseudo-C again.
62
63 1.4 Wed Dec 12 02:20:39 CET 2007
64 - new globals BDB::VERSION and ..VERSION_STRING.
65 - add db_upgrade.
66 - do not die in DESTROY after explicit db_close and similar
67 operations.
68
69 1.3 Fri Dec 7 14:36:25 CET 2007
70 - db_put and c_put leaked memory like hell (reported by Danny).
71 - de-IO::AIO-ify the documentation.
72 - port to microsofts pseudo-C from hell.
73 - added mutex_set_increment, mutex_set_tas_spins
74 and mutex_set_max, mutex_set_align.
75
76 1.2 Tue Dec 4 11:12:47 CET 2007
77 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
78 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
79 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
80 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
81 - added missing DB::RDONLY (reported by Danny).
82
83 1.1 Sun Sep 16 20:15:55 CEST 2007
84 - flag and check TXN_DEADLOCK flag for easier transaction
85 programming (see db_txn_finish).
86 - new custom db_txn_finish request.
87 - improved docs.
88
89 1.0 Mon Aug 13 14:02:42 CEST 2007
90 - some updates for db 4.6.
91 - vastly improved documentation, i.e. there is some now.
92 - this module has been tested a lot in the Crossfire TRT server.
93
94 0.5 Sun Jul 8 16:57:03 CEST 2007
95 - port to db 4.4.20 (probably any 4.4 version).
96 - added bdb error constants.
97 - add set_errfile/set_msgfile/set_verbose.
98 - shared code between IO::AIO and BDB.
99 - upgrade to xthread.h from IO::AIO for win32 compatibility.
100 - port to win32 (there is an unexplainable hang in
101 db_sequence_get...).
102
103 0.1 Mon Mar 5 20:44:18 CET 2007
104 - cloned from IO::AIO.
