5 1.85 Thu Nov 12 03:22:21 CET 2009
6 - speed up object creation/type checking considerably
7 by caching the stashes.
8
9 1.84 Wed Aug 5 13:52:21 CEST 2009
10 - require common sense.
11 - use schmorp.h for pipe, taking advantage of eventfd.
12 - fix a bug in event pipe creation code on win32.
13
14 1.83 Sun Jan 11 01:52:56 CET 2009
15 - fix db_upgrade, add db_verify.
16
17 1.82 Sun Jan 4 11:22:44 CET 2009
18 - use our own socketpair emulation (stolen from libev), as perl's
19 doesn't work on vista, which returns fantasy port numbers
20 in getpeer/sockname.
21
22 1.81 Tue Oct 21 04:20:25 CEST 2008
23 - check that mutable arguments can be downgraded - this
24 /very indirectly) ensures that output variables won't
25 have spurious utf-8 flags.
26 - fix opmode checdk in db_c_get, db_c_pget again.
27 - allow undef/default arguments for db_compact, for a
28 crash-free tomorrow!
29 - fix a memleak in db_key_range.
30 - started a common pitfdalls section.
31 - added db_env_log_archive.
32 - added db->set_pagesize.
33 - added BDB::IGNORE_LEASE.
34 - reworked documentation structure.
35
36 1.801 Mon Sep 29 04:58:03 CEST 2008
37 - removed ptrace.h and user.h includes thta have been left in
38 erronously.
39 - "port" to buggy windows compilers. again.
40
41 1.8 Sat Sep 27 14:01:37 CEST 2008
42 - non-callback requests will now - by default - be executed in the
43 foreground, which is much faster, but doesn't allow parallel
44 processing of other, event-based, requests.
45 - functions that modify their arguments now croak when a constant
46 is passed to them.
47 - db_c_get/db_c_pget requests did not correctly test the operation flags.
48 - db_pget now correctly updates the pkey argument.
49 - keep references to the passed env/db/etc. objects so they
50 can't get destroyed while requests are still outstanding.
51 - fixed a few minor stack issues.
52
53 1.71 Tue Jul 29 05:30:24 CEST 2008
54 - add const char * to typemap for possible 5.6 support.
55 - untested support for db4.3.
56 - berkelydb needs seriously larger stacksizes (on x86 at least)
57 then what the default xthread.h provides.
58
59 1.7 Thu Jul 17 14:09:25 CEST 2008
60 - use a totally different mechanism to pass callbacks to
61 requests (see manpage).
62 - optional arguments before the callback can now be left out.
63 - use less memory per request, probably be a bit faster, too.
64 - fix a memory leak (callbacks were never freed).
65 - add a basic testsuite.
66 - add (untested) support for cdsgroup_begin and db_exists.
67 - make BDB::VERSION compatible to UNIVERSAL::VERSION.
68
69 1.6 Tue Jul 8 10:34:58 CEST 2008
70 - add new BDB::VERSION function for easy version checks.
71 - work around broken bsd headers once more.
72 - support for berkeley db 4.7 added.
73 - add support for log_set_config and it's constants,
74 and set_intermediate_dir_mode.
75 - add db_env_dbrename and db_env_dbremove.
76
77 1.5 Sat May 10 22:22:42 CEST 2008
78 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
79 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
80 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
81 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
82 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
83 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
84 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
85 - support AnyEvent::BDB.
86
87 1.45 Sun Mar 30 10:01:00 CEST 2008
88 - work around win32 perl's broken filehandles
89 (this cannot work in all cases, so watch out).
90
91 1.44 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
92 - encode filenames as utf-8 (for bdb/win32)
93 or binary (everywhere else).
94 - patch $! to support stringification of BDB errno values
95 (utter hack, this should be pluggable :).
96 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
97
98 1.43 Sun Jan 13 11:52:49 CET 2008
99 - differentiate between nuked and undef objects, so as to
100 not throw an exception when destroying closed handles.
101
102 1.42 Tue Dec 25 15:22:50 CET 2007
103 - do not automatically call set_thread_count.
104
105 1.41 Sat Dec 22 08:32:41 CET 2007
106 - add cursor->set_priority.
107 - minor optimisations and checks.
108 - port to microsoft pseudo-C again.
109
110 1.4 Wed Dec 12 02:20:39 CET 2007
111 - new globals BDB::VERSION and ..VERSION_STRING.
112 - add db_upgrade.
113 - do not die in DESTROY after explicit db_close and similar
114 operations.
115
116 1.3 Fri Dec 7 14:36:25 CET 2007
117 - db_put and c_put leaked memory like hell (reported by Danny).
118 - de-IO::AIO-ify the documentation.
119 - port to microsofts pseudo-C from hell.
120 - added mutex_set_increment, mutex_set_tas_spins
121 and mutex_set_max, mutex_set_align.
122
123 1.2 Tue Dec 4 11:12:47 CET 2007
124 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
125 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
126 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
127 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
128 - added missing DB::RDONLY (reported by Danny).
129
130 1.1 Sun Sep 16 20:15:55 CEST 2007
131 - flag and check TXN_DEADLOCK flag for easier transaction
132 programming (see db_txn_finish).
133 - new custom db_txn_finish request.
134 - improved docs.
135
136 1.0 Mon Aug 13 14:02:42 CEST 2007
137 - some updates for db 4.6.
138 - vastly improved documentation, i.e. there is some now.
139 - this module has been tested a lot in the Crossfire TRT server.
140
141 0.5 Sun Jul 8 16:57:03 CEST 2007
142 - port to db 4.4.20 (probably any 4.4 version).
143 - added bdb error constants.
144 - add set_errfile/set_msgfile/set_verbose.
145 - shared code between IO::AIO and BDB.
146 - upgrade to xthread.h from IO::AIO for win32 compatibility.
147 - port to win32 (there is an unexplainable hang in
148 db_sequence_get...).
149
150 0.1 Mon Mar 5 20:44:18 CET 2007
151 - cloned from IO::AIO.
