1 Revision history for perl module BDB.
2
3 TODO: DB_RECNUM/DB_SET_RECNO?
4
5 - maybe add faq: why doe sit crash (parallelity)
6 - why does it freeze (locking).
7 - DB_IGNORE_LEASE MULTIPLE_KEY 4.7?
8 1.81
9 - check that mutable arguments can be downgraded - this
10 /very indirectly) ensures that output variables won't
11 have spurious utf-8 flags.
12 - fix opmode checdk in db_c_get, db_c_pget again.
13 - added db->set_pagesize.
14 - added BDB::IGNORE_LEASE.
15
16 1.801 Mon Sep 29 04:58:03 CEST 2008
17 - removed ptrace.h and user.h includes thta have been left in
18 erronously.
19 - "port" to buggy windows compilers. again.
20
21 1.8 Sat Sep 27 14:01:37 CEST 2008
22 - non-callback requests will now - by default - be executed in the
23 foreground, which is much faster, but doesn't allow parallel
24 processing of other, event-based, requests.
25 - functions that modify their arguments now croak when a constant
26 is passed to them.
27 - db_c_get/db_c_pget requests did not correctly test the operation flags.
28 - db_pget now correctly updates the pkey argument.
29 - keep references to the passed env/db/etc. objects so they
30 can't get destroyed while requests are still outstanding.
31 - fixed a few minor stack issues.
32
33 1.71 Tue Jul 29 05:30:24 CEST 2008
34 - add const char * to typemap for possible 5.6 support.
35 - untested support for db4.3.
36 - berkelydb needs seriously larger stacksizes (on x86 at least)
37 then what the default xthread.h provides.
38
39 1.7 Thu Jul 17 14:09:25 CEST 2008
40 - use a totally different mechanism to pass callbacks to
41 requests (see manpage).
42 - optional arguments before the callback can now be left out.
43 - use less memory per request, probably be a bit faster, too.
44 - fix a memory leak (callbacks were never freed).
45 - add a basic testsuite.
46 - add (untested) support for cdsgroup_begin and db_exists.
47 - make BDB::VERSION compatible to UNIVERSAL::VERSION.
48
49 1.6 Tue Jul 8 10:34:58 CEST 2008
50 - add new BDB::VERSION function for easy version checks.
51 - work around broken bsd headers once more.
52 - support for berkeley db 4.7 added.
53 - add support for log_set_config and it's constants,
54 and set_intermediate_dir_mode.
55 - add db_env_dbrename and db_env_dbremove.
56
57 1.5 Sat May 10 22:22:42 CEST 2008
58 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
59 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
60 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
61 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
62 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
63 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
64 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
65 - support AnyEvent::BDB.
66
67 1.45 Sun Mar 30 10:01:00 CEST 2008
68 - work around win32 perl's broken filehandles
69 (this cannot work in all cases, so watch out).
70
71 1.44 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
72 - encode filenames as utf-8 (for bdb/win32)
73 or binary (everywhere else).
74 - patch $! to support stringification of BDB errno values
75 (utter hack, this should be pluggable :).
76 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
77
78 1.43 Sun Jan 13 11:52:49 CET 2008
79 - differentiate between nuked and undef objects, so as to
80 not throw an exception when destroying closed handles.
81
82 1.42 Tue Dec 25 15:22:50 CET 2007
83 - do not automatically call set_thread_count.
84
85 1.41 Sat Dec 22 08:32:41 CET 2007
86 - add cursor->set_priority.
87 - minor optimisations and checks.
88 - port to microsoft pseudo-C again.
89
90 1.4 Wed Dec 12 02:20:39 CET 2007
91 - new globals BDB::VERSION and ..VERSION_STRING.
92 - add db_upgrade.
93 - do not die in DESTROY after explicit db_close and similar
94 operations.
95
96 1.3 Fri Dec 7 14:36:25 CET 2007
97 - db_put and c_put leaked memory like hell (reported by Danny).
98 - de-IO::AIO-ify the documentation.
99 - port to microsofts pseudo-C from hell.
100 - added mutex_set_increment, mutex_set_tas_spins
101 and mutex_set_max, mutex_set_align.
102
103 1.2 Tue Dec 4 11:12:47 CET 2007
104 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
105 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
106 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
107 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
108 - added missing DB::RDONLY (reported by Danny).
109
110 1.1 Sun Sep 16 20:15:55 CEST 2007
111 - flag and check TXN_DEADLOCK flag for easier transaction
112 programming (see db_txn_finish).
113 - new custom db_txn_finish request.
114 - improved docs.
115
116 1.0 Mon Aug 13 14:02:42 CEST 2007
117 - some updates for db 4.6.
118 - vastly improved documentation, i.e. there is some now.
119 - this module has been tested a lot in the Crossfire TRT server.
120
121 0.5 Sun Jul 8 16:57:03 CEST 2007
122 - port to db 4.4.20 (probably any 4.4 version).
123 - added bdb error constants.
124 - add set_errfile/set_msgfile/set_verbose.
125 - shared code between IO::AIO and BDB.
126 - upgrade to xthread.h from IO::AIO for win32 compatibility.
127 - port to win32 (there is an unexplainable hang in
128 db_sequence_get...).
129
130 0.1 Mon Mar 5 20:44:18 CET 2007
131 - cloned from IO::AIO.
