1 Revision history for perl module BDB.
2
3 - check that mutable arguments can be downgraded - this
4 /very indirectly) ensures that output variables won't
5 have spurious utf-8 flags.
6
7 1.801 Mon Sep 29 04:58:03 CEST 2008
8 - removed ptrace.h and user.h includes thta have been left in
9 erronously.
10 - "port" to buggy windows compilers. again.
11
12 1.8 Sat Sep 27 14:01:37 CEST 2008
13 - non-callback requests will now - by default - be executed in the
14 foreground, which is much faster, but doesn't allow parallel
15 processing of other, event-based, requests.
16 - functions that modify their arguments now croak when a constant
17 is passed to them.
18 - db_c_get/db_c_pget requests did not correctly test the operation flags.
19 - db_pget now correctly updates the pkey argument.
20 - keep references to the passed env/db/etc. objects so they
21 can't get destroyed while requests are still outstanding.
22 - fixed a few minor stack issues.
23
24 1.71 Tue Jul 29 05:30:24 CEST 2008
25 - add const char * to typemap for possible 5.6 support.
26 - untested support for db4.3.
27 - berkelydb needs seriously larger stacksizes (on x86 at least)
28 then what the default xthread.h provides.
29
30 1.7 Thu Jul 17 14:09:25 CEST 2008
31 - use a totally different mechanism to pass callbacks to
32 requests (see manpage).
33 - optional arguments before the callback can now be left out.
34 - use less memory per request, probably be a bit faster, too.
35 - fix a memory leak (callbacks were never freed).
36 - add a basic testsuite.
37 - add (untested) support for cdsgroup_begin and db_exists.
38 - make BDB::VERSION compatible to UNIVERSAL::VERSION.
39
40 1.6 Tue Jul 8 10:34:58 CEST 2008
41 - add new BDB::VERSION function for easy version checks.
42 - work around broken bsd headers once more.
43 - support for berkeley db 4.7 added.
44 - add support for log_set_config and it's constants,
45 and set_intermediate_dir_mode.
46 - add db_env_dbrename and db_env_dbremove.
47
48 1.5 Sat May 10 22:22:42 CEST 2008
49 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
50 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
51 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
52 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
53 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
54 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
55 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
56 - support AnyEvent::BDB.
57
58 1.45 Sun Mar 30 10:01:00 CEST 2008
59 - work around win32 perl's broken filehandles
60 (this cannot work in all cases, so watch out).
61
62 1.44 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
63 - encode filenames as utf-8 (for bdb/win32)
64 or binary (everywhere else).
65 - patch $! to support stringification of BDB errno values
66 (utter hack, this should be pluggable :).
67 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
68
69 1.43 Sun Jan 13 11:52:49 CET 2008
70 - differentiate between nuked and undef objects, so as to
71 not throw an exception when destroying closed handles.
72
73 1.42 Tue Dec 25 15:22:50 CET 2007
74 - do not automatically call set_thread_count.
75
76 1.41 Sat Dec 22 08:32:41 CET 2007
77 - add cursor->set_priority.
78 - minor optimisations and checks.
79 - port to microsoft pseudo-C again.
80
81 1.4 Wed Dec 12 02:20:39 CET 2007
82 - new globals BDB::VERSION and ..VERSION_STRING.
83 - add db_upgrade.
84 - do not die in DESTROY after explicit db_close and similar
85 operations.
86
87 1.3 Fri Dec 7 14:36:25 CET 2007
88 - db_put and c_put leaked memory like hell (reported by Danny).
89 - de-IO::AIO-ify the documentation.
90 - port to microsofts pseudo-C from hell.
91 - added mutex_set_increment, mutex_set_tas_spins
92 and mutex_set_max, mutex_set_align.
93
94 1.2 Tue Dec 4 11:12:47 CET 2007
95 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
96 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
97 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
98 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
99 - added missing DB::RDONLY (reported by Danny).
100
101 1.1 Sun Sep 16 20:15:55 CEST 2007
102 - flag and check TXN_DEADLOCK flag for easier transaction
103 programming (see db_txn_finish).
104 - new custom db_txn_finish request.
105 - improved docs.
106
107 1.0 Mon Aug 13 14:02:42 CEST 2007
108 - some updates for db 4.6.
109 - vastly improved documentation, i.e. there is some now.
110 - this module has been tested a lot in the Crossfire TRT server.
111
112 0.5 Sun Jul 8 16:57:03 CEST 2007
113 - port to db 4.4.20 (probably any 4.4 version).
114 - added bdb error constants.
115 - add set_errfile/set_msgfile/set_verbose.
116 - shared code between IO::AIO and BDB.
117 - upgrade to xthread.h from IO::AIO for win32 compatibility.
118 - port to win32 (there is an unexplainable hang in
119 db_sequence_get...).
120
121 0.1 Mon Mar 5 20:44:18 CET 2007
122 - cloned from IO::AIO.
