1 Revision history for perl module BDB.
2
3 TODO: check memleaks
4 - keep references to the passed env/db/etc. objects so they
5 can't get destroyed while requests are still outstanding.
6 - fixed a few minor stack issues.
7
8 1.71 Tue Jul 29 05:30:24 CEST 2008
9 - add const char * to typemap for possible 5.6 support.
10 - untested support for db4.3.
11 - berkelydb needs seriously larger stacksizes on x86 at least
12 then what the default xthread.h provides.
13
14 1.7 Thu Jul 17 14:09:25 CEST 2008
15 - use a totally different mechanism to pass callbacks to
16 requests (see manpage).
17 - optional arguments before the callback can now be left out.
18 - use less memory per request, probably be a bit faster, too.
19 - fix a memory leak (callbacks were never freed).
20 - add a basic testsuite.
21 - add (untested) support for cdsgroup_begin and db_exists.
22 - make BDB::VERSION compatible to UNIVERSAL::VERSION.
23
24 1.6 Tue Jul 8 10:34:58 CEST 2008
25 - add new BDB::VERSION function for easy version checks.
26 - work around broken bsd headers once more.
27 - support for berkeley db 4.7 added.
28 - add support for log_set_config and it's constants,
29 and set_intermediate_dir_mode.
30 - add db_env_dbrename and db_env_dbremove.
31
32 1.5 Sat May 10 22:22:42 CEST 2008
33 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
34 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
35 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
36 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
37 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
38 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
39 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
40 - support AnyEvent::BDB.
41
42 1.45 Sun Mar 30 10:01:00 CEST 2008
43 - work around win32 perl's broken filehandles
44 (this cannot work in all cases, so watch out).
45
46 1.44 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
47 - encode filenames as utf-8 (for bdb/win32)
48 or binary (everywhere else).
49 - patch $! to support stringification of BDB errno values
50 (utter hack, this should be pluggable :).
51 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
52
53 1.43 Sun Jan 13 11:52:49 CET 2008
54 - differentiate between nuked and undef objects, so as to
55 not throw an exception when destroying closed handles.
56
57 1.42 Tue Dec 25 15:22:50 CET 2007
58 - do not automatically call set_thread_count.
59
60 1.41 Sat Dec 22 08:32:41 CET 2007
61 - add cursor->set_priority.
62 - minor optimisations and checks.
63 - port to microsoft pseudo-C again.
64
65 1.4 Wed Dec 12 02:20:39 CET 2007
66 - new globals BDB::VERSION and ..VERSION_STRING.
67 - add db_upgrade.
68 - do not die in DESTROY after explicit db_close and similar
69 operations.
70
71 1.3 Fri Dec 7 14:36:25 CET 2007
72 - db_put and c_put leaked memory like hell (reported by Danny).
73 - de-IO::AIO-ify the documentation.
74 - port to microsofts pseudo-C from hell.
75 - added mutex_set_increment, mutex_set_tas_spins
76 and mutex_set_max, mutex_set_align.
77
78 1.2 Tue Dec 4 11:12:47 CET 2007
79 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
80 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
81 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
82 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
83 - added missing DB::RDONLY (reported by Danny).
84
85 1.1 Sun Sep 16 20:15:55 CEST 2007
86 - flag and check TXN_DEADLOCK flag for easier transaction
87 programming (see db_txn_finish).
88 - new custom db_txn_finish request.
89 - improved docs.
90
91 1.0 Mon Aug 13 14:02:42 CEST 2007
92 - some updates for db 4.6.
93 - vastly improved documentation, i.e. there is some now.
94 - this module has been tested a lot in the Crossfire TRT server.
95
96 0.5 Sun Jul 8 16:57:03 CEST 2007
97 - port to db 4.4.20 (probably any 4.4 version).
98 - added bdb error constants.
99 - add set_errfile/set_msgfile/set_verbose.
100 - shared code between IO::AIO and BDB.
101 - upgrade to xthread.h from IO::AIO for win32 compatibility.
102 - port to win32 (there is an unexplainable hang in
103 db_sequence_get...).
104
105 0.1 Mon Mar 5 20:44:18 CET 2007
106 - cloned from IO::AIO.
