3 TODO: DB_RECNUM/DB_SET_RECNO?
4
5 - speed up object creation/type checking considerably
6 by caching the stashes.
7
8 1.84 Wed Aug 5 13:52:21 CEST 2009
9 - require common sense.
10 - use schmorp.h for pipe, taking advantage of eventfd.
11 - fix a bug in event pipe creation code on win32.
12
13 1.83 Sun Jan 11 01:52:56 CET 2009
14 - fix db_upgrade, add db_verify.
15
16 1.82 Sun Jan 4 11:22:44 CET 2009
17 - use our own socketpair emulation (stolen from libev), as perl's
18 doesn't work on vista, which returns fantasy port numbers
19 in getpeer/sockname.
20
21 1.81 Tue Oct 21 04:20:25 CEST 2008
22 - check that mutable arguments can be downgraded - this
23 /very indirectly) ensures that output variables won't
24 have spurious utf-8 flags.
25 - fix opmode checdk in db_c_get, db_c_pget again.
26 - allow undef/default arguments for db_compact, for a
27 crash-free tomorrow!
28 - fix a memleak in db_key_range.
29 - started a common pitfdalls section.
30 - added db_env_log_archive.
31 - added db->set_pagesize.
32 - added BDB::IGNORE_LEASE.
33 - reworked documentation structure.
34
35 1.801 Mon Sep 29 04:58:03 CEST 2008
36 - removed ptrace.h and user.h includes thta have been left in
37 erronously.
38 - "port" to buggy windows compilers. again.
39
40 1.8 Sat Sep 27 14:01:37 CEST 2008
41 - non-callback requests will now - by default - be executed in the
42 foreground, which is much faster, but doesn't allow parallel
43 processing of other, event-based, requests.
44 - functions that modify their arguments now croak when a constant
45 is passed to them.
46 - db_c_get/db_c_pget requests did not correctly test the operation flags.
47 - db_pget now correctly updates the pkey argument.
48 - keep references to the passed env/db/etc. objects so they
49 can't get destroyed while requests are still outstanding.
50 - fixed a few minor stack issues.
51
52 1.71 Tue Jul 29 05:30:24 CEST 2008
53 - add const char * to typemap for possible 5.6 support.
54 - untested support for db4.3.
55 - berkelydb needs seriously larger stacksizes (on x86 at least)
56 then what the default xthread.h provides.
57
58 1.7 Thu Jul 17 14:09:25 CEST 2008
59 - use a totally different mechanism to pass callbacks to
60 requests (see manpage).
61 - optional arguments before the callback can now be left out.
62 - use less memory per request, probably be a bit faster, too.
63 - fix a memory leak (callbacks were never freed).
64 - add a basic testsuite.
65 - add (untested) support for cdsgroup_begin and db_exists.
66 - make BDB::VERSION compatible to UNIVERSAL::VERSION.
67
68 1.6 Tue Jul 8 10:34:58 CEST 2008
69 - add new BDB::VERSION function for easy version checks.
70 - work around broken bsd headers once more.
71 - support for berkeley db 4.7 added.
72 - add support for log_set_config and it's constants,
73 and set_intermediate_dir_mode.
74 - add db_env_dbrename and db_env_dbremove.
75
76 1.5 Sat May 10 22:22:42 CEST 2008
77 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
78 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
79 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
80 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
81 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
82 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
83 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
84 - support AnyEvent::BDB.
85
86 1.45 Sun Mar 30 10:01:00 CEST 2008
87 - work around win32 perl's broken filehandles
88 (this cannot work in all cases, so watch out).
89
90 1.44 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
91 - encode filenames as utf-8 (for bdb/win32)
92 or binary (everywhere else).
93 - patch $! to support stringification of BDB errno values
94 (utter hack, this should be pluggable :).
95 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
96
97 1.43 Sun Jan 13 11:52:49 CET 2008
98 - differentiate between nuked and undef objects, so as to
99 not throw an exception when destroying closed handles.
100
101 1.42 Tue Dec 25 15:22:50 CET 2007
102 - do not automatically call set_thread_count.
103
104 1.41 Sat Dec 22 08:32:41 CET 2007
105 - add cursor->set_priority.
106 - minor optimisations and checks.
107 - port to microsoft pseudo-C again.
108
109 1.4 Wed Dec 12 02:20:39 CET 2007
110 - new globals BDB::VERSION and ..VERSION_STRING.
111 - add db_upgrade.
112 - do not die in DESTROY after explicit db_close and similar
113 operations.
114
115 1.3 Fri Dec 7 14:36:25 CET 2007
116 - db_put and c_put leaked memory like hell (reported by Danny).
117 - de-IO::AIO-ify the documentation.
118 - port to microsofts pseudo-C from hell.
119 - added mutex_set_increment, mutex_set_tas_spins
120 and mutex_set_max, mutex_set_align.
121
122 1.2 Tue Dec 4 11:12:47 CET 2007
123 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
124 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
125 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
126 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
127 - added missing DB::RDONLY (reported by Danny).
128
129 1.1 Sun Sep 16 20:15:55 CEST 2007
130 - flag and check TXN_DEADLOCK flag for easier transaction
131 programming (see db_txn_finish).
132 - new custom db_txn_finish request.
133 - improved docs.
134
135 1.0 Mon Aug 13 14:02:42 CEST 2007
136 - some updates for db 4.6.
137 - vastly improved documentation, i.e. there is some now.
138 - this module has been tested a lot in the Crossfire TRT server.
139
140 0.5 Sun Jul 8 16:57:03 CEST 2007
141 - port to db 4.4.20 (probably any 4.4 version).
142 - added bdb error constants.
143 - add set_errfile/set_msgfile/set_verbose.
144 - shared code between IO::AIO and BDB.
145 - upgrade to xthread.h from IO::AIO for win32 compatibility.
146 - port to win32 (there is an unexplainable hang in
147 db_sequence_get...).
148
149 0.1 Mon Mar 5 20:44:18 CET 2007
150 - cloned from IO::AIO.
