3 TODO: memleka on QUIT
4
5 TODO: check memleaks
6 TODO: superfast blocking mode
7 TODO: tst is freezing
8 1.8
9 - keep references to the passed env/db/etc. objects so they
10 can't get destroyed while requests are still outstanding.
11 - fixed a few minor stack issues.
12
13 1.71 Tue Jul 29 05:30:24 CEST 2008
14 - add const char * to typemap for possible 5.6 support.
15 - untested support for db4.3.
16 - berkelydb needs seriously larger stacksizes (on x86 at least)
17 then what the default xthread.h provides.
18
19 1.7 Thu Jul 17 14:09:25 CEST 2008
20 - use a totally different mechanism to pass callbacks to
21 requests (see manpage).
22 - optional arguments before the callback can now be left out.
23 - use less memory per request, probably be a bit faster, too.
24 - fix a memory leak (callbacks were never freed).
25 - add a basic testsuite.
26 - add (untested) support for cdsgroup_begin and db_exists.
27 - make BDB::VERSION compatible to UNIVERSAL::VERSION.
28
29 1.6 Tue Jul 8 10:34:58 CEST 2008
30 - add new BDB::VERSION function for easy version checks.
31 - work around broken bsd headers once more.
32 - support for berkeley db 4.7 added.
33 - add support for log_set_config and it's constants,
34 and set_intermediate_dir_mode.
35 - add db_env_dbrename and db_env_dbremove.
36
37 1.5 Sat May 10 22:22:42 CEST 2008
38 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
39 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
40 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
41 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
42 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
43 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
44 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
45 - support AnyEvent::BDB.
46
47 1.45 Sun Mar 30 10:01:00 CEST 2008
48 - work around win32 perl's broken filehandles
49 (this cannot work in all cases, so watch out).
50
51 1.44 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
52 - encode filenames as utf-8 (for bdb/win32)
53 or binary (everywhere else).
54 - patch $! to support stringification of BDB errno values
55 (utter hack, this should be pluggable :).
56 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
57
58 1.43 Sun Jan 13 11:52:49 CET 2008
59 - differentiate between nuked and undef objects, so as to
60 not throw an exception when destroying closed handles.
61
62 1.42 Tue Dec 25 15:22:50 CET 2007
63 - do not automatically call set_thread_count.
64
65 1.41 Sat Dec 22 08:32:41 CET 2007
66 - add cursor->set_priority.
67 - minor optimisations and checks.
68 - port to microsoft pseudo-C again.
69
70 1.4 Wed Dec 12 02:20:39 CET 2007
71 - new globals BDB::VERSION and ..VERSION_STRING.
72 - add db_upgrade.
73 - do not die in DESTROY after explicit db_close and similar
74 operations.
75
76 1.3 Fri Dec 7 14:36:25 CET 2007
77 - db_put and c_put leaked memory like hell (reported by Danny).
78 - de-IO::AIO-ify the documentation.
79 - port to microsofts pseudo-C from hell.
80 - added mutex_set_increment, mutex_set_tas_spins
81 and mutex_set_max, mutex_set_align.
82
83 1.2 Tue Dec 4 11:12:47 CET 2007
84 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
85 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
86 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
87 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
88 - added missing DB::RDONLY (reported by Danny).
89
90 1.1 Sun Sep 16 20:15:55 CEST 2007
91 - flag and check TXN_DEADLOCK flag for easier transaction
92 programming (see db_txn_finish).
93 - new custom db_txn_finish request.
94 - improved docs.
95
96 1.0 Mon Aug 13 14:02:42 CEST 2007
97 - some updates for db 4.6.
98 - vastly improved documentation, i.e. there is some now.
99 - this module has been tested a lot in the Crossfire TRT server.
100
101 0.5 Sun Jul 8 16:57:03 CEST 2007
102 - port to db 4.4.20 (probably any 4.4 version).
103 - added bdb error constants.
104 - add set_errfile/set_msgfile/set_verbose.
105 - shared code between IO::AIO and BDB.
106 - upgrade to xthread.h from IO::AIO for win32 compatibility.
107 - port to win32 (there is an unexplainable hang in
108 db_sequence_get...).
109
110 0.1 Mon Mar 5 20:44:18 CET 2007
111 - cloned from IO::AIO.
