1 Revision history for perl module BDB.
2
3 1.801 Mon Sep 29 04:58:03 CEST 2008
4 - removed ptrace.h and user.h includes thta have been left in
5 erronously.
6 - "port" to buggy windows compilers. again.
7
8 1.8 Sat Sep 27 14:01:37 CEST 2008
9 - non-callback requests will now - by default - be executed in the
10 foreground, which is much faster, but doesn't allow parallel
11 processing of other, event-based, requests.
12 - functions that modify their arguments now croak when a constant
13 is passed to them.
14 - db_c_get/db_c_pget requests did not correctly test the operation flags.
15 - db_pget now correctly updates the pkey argument.
16 - keep references to the passed env/db/etc. objects so they
17 can't get destroyed while requests are still outstanding.
18 - fixed a few minor stack issues.
19
20 1.71 Tue Jul 29 05:30:24 CEST 2008
21 - add const char * to typemap for possible 5.6 support.
22 - untested support for db4.3.
23 - berkelydb needs seriously larger stacksizes (on x86 at least)
24 then what the default xthread.h provides.
25
26 1.7 Thu Jul 17 14:09:25 CEST 2008
27 - use a totally different mechanism to pass callbacks to
28 requests (see manpage).
29 - optional arguments before the callback can now be left out.
30 - use less memory per request, probably be a bit faster, too.
31 - fix a memory leak (callbacks were never freed).
32 - add a basic testsuite.
33 - add (untested) support for cdsgroup_begin and db_exists.
34 - make BDB::VERSION compatible to UNIVERSAL::VERSION.
35
36 1.6 Tue Jul 8 10:34:58 CEST 2008
37 - add new BDB::VERSION function for easy version checks.
38 - work around broken bsd headers once more.
39 - support for berkeley db 4.7 added.
40 - add support for log_set_config and it's constants,
41 and set_intermediate_dir_mode.
42 - add db_env_dbrename and db_env_dbremove.
43
44 1.5 Sat May 10 22:22:42 CEST 2008
45 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
46 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
47 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
48 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
49 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
50 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
51 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
52 - support AnyEvent::BDB.
53
54 1.45 Sun Mar 30 10:01:00 CEST 2008
55 - work around win32 perl's broken filehandles
56 (this cannot work in all cases, so watch out).
57
58 1.44 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
59 - encode filenames as utf-8 (for bdb/win32)
60 or binary (everywhere else).
61 - patch $! to support stringification of BDB errno values
62 (utter hack, this should be pluggable :).
63 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
64
65 1.43 Sun Jan 13 11:52:49 CET 2008
66 - differentiate between nuked and undef objects, so as to
67 not throw an exception when destroying closed handles.
68
69 1.42 Tue Dec 25 15:22:50 CET 2007
70 - do not automatically call set_thread_count.
71
72 1.41 Sat Dec 22 08:32:41 CET 2007
73 - add cursor->set_priority.
74 - minor optimisations and checks.
75 - port to microsoft pseudo-C again.
76
77 1.4 Wed Dec 12 02:20:39 CET 2007
78 - new globals BDB::VERSION and ..VERSION_STRING.
79 - add db_upgrade.
80 - do not die in DESTROY after explicit db_close and similar
81 operations.
82
83 1.3 Fri Dec 7 14:36:25 CET 2007
84 - db_put and c_put leaked memory like hell (reported by Danny).
85 - de-IO::AIO-ify the documentation.
86 - port to microsofts pseudo-C from hell.
87 - added mutex_set_increment, mutex_set_tas_spins
88 and mutex_set_max, mutex_set_align.
89
90 1.2 Tue Dec 4 11:12:47 CET 2007
91 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
92 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
93 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
94 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
95 - added missing DB::RDONLY (reported by Danny).
96
97 1.1 Sun Sep 16 20:15:55 CEST 2007
98 - flag and check TXN_DEADLOCK flag for easier transaction
99 programming (see db_txn_finish).
100 - new custom db_txn_finish request.
101 - improved docs.
102
103 1.0 Mon Aug 13 14:02:42 CEST 2007
104 - some updates for db 4.6.
105 - vastly improved documentation, i.e. there is some now.
106 - this module has been tested a lot in the Crossfire TRT server.
107
108 0.5 Sun Jul 8 16:57:03 CEST 2007
109 - port to db 4.4.20 (probably any 4.4 version).
110 - added bdb error constants.
111 - add set_errfile/set_msgfile/set_verbose.
112 - shared code between IO::AIO and BDB.
113 - upgrade to xthread.h from IO::AIO for win32 compatibility.
114 - port to win32 (there is an unexplainable hang in
115 db_sequence_get...).
116
117 0.1 Mon Mar 5 20:44:18 CET 2007
118 - cloned from IO::AIO.
