1 Revision history for perl module BDB.
2
3 1.81
4 - check that mutable arguments can be downgraded - this
5 /very indirectly) ensures that output variables won't
6 have spurious utf-8 flags.
7 - added db->set_pagesize.
8
9 1.801 Mon Sep 29 04:58:03 CEST 2008
10 - removed ptrace.h and user.h includes thta have been left in
11 erronously.
12 - "port" to buggy windows compilers. again.
13
14 1.8 Sat Sep 27 14:01:37 CEST 2008
15 - non-callback requests will now - by default - be executed in the
16 foreground, which is much faster, but doesn't allow parallel
17 processing of other, event-based, requests.
18 - functions that modify their arguments now croak when a constant
19 is passed to them.
20 - db_c_get/db_c_pget requests did not correctly test the operation flags.
21 - db_pget now correctly updates the pkey argument.
22 - keep references to the passed env/db/etc. objects so they
23 can't get destroyed while requests are still outstanding.
24 - fixed a few minor stack issues.
25
26 1.71 Tue Jul 29 05:30:24 CEST 2008
27 - add const char * to typemap for possible 5.6 support.
28 - untested support for db4.3.
29 - berkelydb needs seriously larger stacksizes (on x86 at least)
30 then what the default xthread.h provides.
31
32 1.7 Thu Jul 17 14:09:25 CEST 2008
33 - use a totally different mechanism to pass callbacks to
34 requests (see manpage).
35 - optional arguments before the callback can now be left out.
36 - use less memory per request, probably be a bit faster, too.
37 - fix a memory leak (callbacks were never freed).
38 - add a basic testsuite.
39 - add (untested) support for cdsgroup_begin and db_exists.
40 - make BDB::VERSION compatible to UNIVERSAL::VERSION.
41
42 1.6 Tue Jul 8 10:34:58 CEST 2008
43 - add new BDB::VERSION function for easy version checks.
44 - work around broken bsd headers once more.
45 - support for berkeley db 4.7 added.
46 - add support for log_set_config and it's constants,
47 and set_intermediate_dir_mode.
48 - add db_env_dbrename and db_env_dbremove.
49
50 1.5 Sat May 10 22:22:42 CEST 2008
51 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
52 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
53 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
54 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
55 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
56 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
57 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
58 - support AnyEvent::BDB.
59
60 1.45 Sun Mar 30 10:01:00 CEST 2008
61 - work around win32 perl's broken filehandles
62 (this cannot work in all cases, so watch out).
63
64 1.44 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
65 - encode filenames as utf-8 (for bdb/win32)
66 or binary (everywhere else).
67 - patch $! to support stringification of BDB errno values
68 (utter hack, this should be pluggable :).
69 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
70
71 1.43 Sun Jan 13 11:52:49 CET 2008
72 - differentiate between nuked and undef objects, so as to
73 not throw an exception when destroying closed handles.
74
75 1.42 Tue Dec 25 15:22:50 CET 2007
76 - do not automatically call set_thread_count.
77
78 1.41 Sat Dec 22 08:32:41 CET 2007
79 - add cursor->set_priority.
80 - minor optimisations and checks.
81 - port to microsoft pseudo-C again.
82
83 1.4 Wed Dec 12 02:20:39 CET 2007
84 - new globals BDB::VERSION and ..VERSION_STRING.
85 - add db_upgrade.
86 - do not die in DESTROY after explicit db_close and similar
87 operations.
88
89 1.3 Fri Dec 7 14:36:25 CET 2007
90 - db_put and c_put leaked memory like hell (reported by Danny).
91 - de-IO::AIO-ify the documentation.
92 - port to microsofts pseudo-C from hell.
93 - added mutex_set_increment, mutex_set_tas_spins
94 and mutex_set_max, mutex_set_align.
95
96 1.2 Tue Dec 4 11:12:47 CET 2007
97 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
98 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
99 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
100 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
101 - added missing DB::RDONLY (reported by Danny).
102
103 1.1 Sun Sep 16 20:15:55 CEST 2007
104 - flag and check TXN_DEADLOCK flag for easier transaction
105 programming (see db_txn_finish).
106 - new custom db_txn_finish request.
107 - improved docs.
108
109 1.0 Mon Aug 13 14:02:42 CEST 2007
110 - some updates for db 4.6.
111 - vastly improved documentation, i.e. there is some now.
112 - this module has been tested a lot in the Crossfire TRT server.
113
114 0.5 Sun Jul 8 16:57:03 CEST 2007
115 - port to db 4.4.20 (probably any 4.4 version).
116 - added bdb error constants.
117 - add set_errfile/set_msgfile/set_verbose.
118 - shared code between IO::AIO and BDB.
119 - upgrade to xthread.h from IO::AIO for win32 compatibility.
120 - port to win32 (there is an unexplainable hang in
121 db_sequence_get...).
122
123 0.1 Mon Mar 5 20:44:18 CET 2007
124 - cloned from IO::AIO.
