1 Revision history for perl module BDB.
2
3 TODO: DB_RECNUM/DB_SET_RECNO?
4
5 - use our own socketpair emulation (stolen from libev),
6 as perl's doesn't work on vista, where getpeername
7 returns fantasy port numbers.
8
9 1.81 Tue Oct 21 04:20:25 CEST 2008
10 - check that mutable arguments can be downgraded - this
11 /very indirectly) ensures that output variables won't
12 have spurious utf-8 flags.
13 - fix opmode checdk in db_c_get, db_c_pget again.
14 - allow undef/default arguments for db_compact, for a
15 crash-free tomorrow!
16 - fix a memleak in db_key_range.
17 - started a common pitfdalls section.
18 - added db_env_log_archive.
19 - added db->set_pagesize.
20 - added BDB::IGNORE_LEASE.
21 - reworked documentation structure.
22
23 1.801 Mon Sep 29 04:58:03 CEST 2008
24 - removed ptrace.h and user.h includes thta have been left in
25 erronously.
26 - "port" to buggy windows compilers. again.
27
28 1.8 Sat Sep 27 14:01:37 CEST 2008
29 - non-callback requests will now - by default - be executed in the
30 foreground, which is much faster, but doesn't allow parallel
31 processing of other, event-based, requests.
32 - functions that modify their arguments now croak when a constant
33 is passed to them.
34 - db_c_get/db_c_pget requests did not correctly test the operation flags.
35 - db_pget now correctly updates the pkey argument.
36 - keep references to the passed env/db/etc. objects so they
37 can't get destroyed while requests are still outstanding.
38 - fixed a few minor stack issues.
39
40 1.71 Tue Jul 29 05:30:24 CEST 2008
41 - add const char * to typemap for possible 5.6 support.
42 - untested support for db4.3.
43 - berkelydb needs seriously larger stacksizes (on x86 at least)
44 then what the default xthread.h provides.
45
46 1.7 Thu Jul 17 14:09:25 CEST 2008
47 - use a totally different mechanism to pass callbacks to
48 requests (see manpage).
49 - optional arguments before the callback can now be left out.
50 - use less memory per request, probably be a bit faster, too.
51 - fix a memory leak (callbacks were never freed).
52 - add a basic testsuite.
53 - add (untested) support for cdsgroup_begin and db_exists.
54 - make BDB::VERSION compatible to UNIVERSAL::VERSION.
55
56 1.6 Tue Jul 8 10:34:58 CEST 2008
57 - add new BDB::VERSION function for easy version checks.
58 - work around broken bsd headers once more.
59 - support for berkeley db 4.7 added.
60 - add support for log_set_config and it's constants,
61 and set_intermediate_dir_mode.
62 - add db_env_dbrename and db_env_dbremove.
63
64 1.5 Sat May 10 22:22:42 CEST 2008
65 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
66 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
67 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
68 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
69 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
70 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
71 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
72 - support AnyEvent::BDB.
73
74 1.45 Sun Mar 30 10:01:00 CEST 2008
75 - work around win32 perl's broken filehandles
76 (this cannot work in all cases, so watch out).
77
78 1.44 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
79 - encode filenames as utf-8 (for bdb/win32)
80 or binary (everywhere else).
81 - patch $! to support stringification of BDB errno values
82 (utter hack, this should be pluggable :).
83 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
84
85 1.43 Sun Jan 13 11:52:49 CET 2008
86 - differentiate between nuked and undef objects, so as to
87 not throw an exception when destroying closed handles.
88
89 1.42 Tue Dec 25 15:22:50 CET 2007
90 - do not automatically call set_thread_count.
91
92 1.41 Sat Dec 22 08:32:41 CET 2007
93 - add cursor->set_priority.
94 - minor optimisations and checks.
95 - port to microsoft pseudo-C again.
96
97 1.4 Wed Dec 12 02:20:39 CET 2007
98 - new globals BDB::VERSION and ..VERSION_STRING.
99 - add db_upgrade.
100 - do not die in DESTROY after explicit db_close and similar
101 operations.
102
103 1.3 Fri Dec 7 14:36:25 CET 2007
104 - db_put and c_put leaked memory like hell (reported by Danny).
105 - de-IO::AIO-ify the documentation.
106 - port to microsofts pseudo-C from hell.
107 - added mutex_set_increment, mutex_set_tas_spins
108 and mutex_set_max, mutex_set_align.
109
110 1.2 Tue Dec 4 11:12:47 CET 2007
111 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
112 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
113 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
114 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
115 - added missing DB::RDONLY (reported by Danny).
116
117 1.1 Sun Sep 16 20:15:55 CEST 2007
118 - flag and check TXN_DEADLOCK flag for easier transaction
119 programming (see db_txn_finish).
120 - new custom db_txn_finish request.
121 - improved docs.
122
123 1.0 Mon Aug 13 14:02:42 CEST 2007
124 - some updates for db 4.6.
125 - vastly improved documentation, i.e. there is some now.
126 - this module has been tested a lot in the Crossfire TRT server.
127
128 0.5 Sun Jul 8 16:57:03 CEST 2007
129 - port to db 4.4.20 (probably any 4.4 version).
130 - added bdb error constants.
131 - add set_errfile/set_msgfile/set_verbose.
132 - shared code between IO::AIO and BDB.
133 - upgrade to xthread.h from IO::AIO for win32 compatibility.
134 - port to win32 (there is an unexplainable hang in
135 db_sequence_get...).
136
137 0.1 Mon Mar 5 20:44:18 CET 2007
138 - cloned from IO::AIO.
