3 TODO: DB_RECNUM/DB_SET_RECNO?
4 TODO: find changes for 5.2 - but documentation has been removed from oracles website
5 TODO: libdb5.3
6
7 1.9 Mon Dec 26 02:46:09 CET 2011
8 - partial: update for libdb 5.2 (to make it compile only).
9
10 1.89 Fri Jul 29 11:29:21 CEST 2011
11 - make it compile and test successfully with libdb 5.1, but
12 do not add any new symbols or functionality.
13
14 1.88 Wed Mar 31 02:43:42 CEST 2010
15 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
16 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
17 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
18 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
19 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
20
21 1.87 Tue Dec 22 03:06:09 CET 2009
22 - db 4.8 has removed XA resource manager functionality,
23 cope with it.
24 - add LOGVERSION, LOGVERSION_LATCHING, LOGOLDVER
25 symbols.
26
27 1.86 Fri Dec 4 16:03:21 CET 2009
28 - port to broken loser platform.
29
30 1.85 Thu Nov 12 03:22:21 CET 2009
31 - speed up object creation/type checking considerably
32 by caching the stashes.
33
34 1.84 Wed Aug 5 13:52:21 CEST 2009
35 - require common sense.
36 - use schmorp.h for pipe, taking advantage of eventfd.
37 - fix a bug in event pipe creation code on win32.
38
39 1.83 Sun Jan 11 01:52:56 CET 2009
40 - fix db_upgrade, add db_verify.
41
42 1.82 Sun Jan 4 11:22:44 CET 2009
43 - use our own socketpair emulation (stolen from libev), as perl's
44 doesn't work on vista, which returns fantasy port numbers
45 in getpeer/sockname.
46
47 1.81 Tue Oct 21 04:20:25 CEST 2008
48 - check that mutable arguments can be downgraded - this
49 /very indirectly) ensures that output variables won't
50 have spurious utf-8 flags.
51 - fix opmode checdk in db_c_get, db_c_pget again.
52 - allow undef/default arguments for db_compact, for a
53 crash-free tomorrow!
54 - fix a memleak in db_key_range.
55 - started a common pitfdalls section.
56 - added db_env_log_archive.
57 - added db->set_pagesize.
58 - added BDB::IGNORE_LEASE.
59 - reworked documentation structure.
60
61 1.801 Mon Sep 29 04:58:03 CEST 2008
62 - removed ptrace.h and user.h includes thta have been left in
63 erronously.
64 - "port" to buggy windows compilers. again.
65
66 1.8 Sat Sep 27 14:01:37 CEST 2008
67 - non-callback requests will now - by default - be executed in the
68 foreground, which is much faster, but doesn't allow parallel
69 processing of other, event-based, requests.
70 - functions that modify their arguments now croak when a constant
71 is passed to them.
72 - db_c_get/db_c_pget requests did not correctly test the operation flags.
73 - db_pget now correctly updates the pkey argument.
74 - keep references to the passed env/db/etc. objects so they
75 can't get destroyed while requests are still outstanding.
76 - fixed a few minor stack issues.
77
78 1.71 Tue Jul 29 05:30:24 CEST 2008
79 - add const char * to typemap for possible 5.6 support.
80 - untested support for db4.3.
81 - berkelydb needs seriously larger stacksizes (on x86 at least)
82 then what the default xthread.h provides.
83
84 1.7 Thu Jul 17 14:09:25 CEST 2008
85 - use a totally different mechanism to pass callbacks to
86 requests (see manpage).
87 - optional arguments before the callback can now be left out.
88 - use less memory per request, probably be a bit faster, too.
89 - fix a memory leak (callbacks were never freed).
90 - add a basic testsuite.
91 - add (untested) support for cdsgroup_begin and db_exists.
92 - make BDB::VERSION compatible to UNIVERSAL::VERSION.
93
94 1.6 Tue Jul 8 10:34:58 CEST 2008
95 - add new BDB::VERSION function for easy version checks.
96 - work around broken bsd headers once more.
97 - support for berkeley db 4.7 added.
98 - add support for log_set_config and it's constants,
99 and set_intermediate_dir_mode.
100 - add db_env_dbrename and db_env_dbremove.
101
102 1.5 Sat May 10 22:22:42 CEST 2008
103 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
104 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
105 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
106 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
107 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
108 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
109 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
110 - support AnyEvent::BDB.
111
112 1.45 Sun Mar 30 10:01:00 CEST 2008
113 - work around win32 perl's broken filehandles
114 (this cannot work in all cases, so watch out).
115
116 1.44 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
117 - encode filenames as utf-8 (for bdb/win32)
118 or binary (everywhere else).
119 - patch $! to support stringification of BDB errno values
120 (utter hack, this should be pluggable :).
121 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
122
123 1.43 Sun Jan 13 11:52:49 CET 2008
124 - differentiate between nuked and undef objects, so as to
125 not throw an exception when destroying closed handles.
126
127 1.42 Tue Dec 25 15:22:50 CET 2007
128 - do not automatically call set_thread_count.
129
130 1.41 Sat Dec 22 08:32:41 CET 2007
131 - add cursor->set_priority.
132 - minor optimisations and checks.
133 - port to microsoft pseudo-C again.
134
135 1.4 Wed Dec 12 02:20:39 CET 2007
136 - new globals BDB::VERSION and ..VERSION_STRING.
137 - add db_upgrade.
138 - do not die in DESTROY after explicit db_close and similar
139 operations.
140
141 1.3 Fri Dec 7 14:36:25 CET 2007
142 - db_put and c_put leaked memory like hell (reported by Danny).
143 - de-IO::AIO-ify the documentation.
144 - port to microsofts pseudo-C from hell.
145 - added mutex_set_increment, mutex_set_tas_spins
146 and mutex_set_max, mutex_set_align.
147
148 1.2 Tue Dec 4 11:12:47 CET 2007
149 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
150 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
151 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
152 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
153 - added missing DB::RDONLY (reported by Danny).
154
155 1.1 Sun Sep 16 20:15:55 CEST 2007
156 - flag and check TXN_DEADLOCK flag for easier transaction
157 programming (see db_txn_finish).
158 - new custom db_txn_finish request.
159 - improved docs.
160
161 1.0 Mon Aug 13 14:02:42 CEST 2007
162 - some updates for db 4.6.
163 - vastly improved documentation, i.e. there is some now.
164 - this module has been tested a lot in the Crossfire TRT server.
165
166 0.5 Sun Jul 8 16:57:03 CEST 2007
167 - port to db 4.4.20 (probably any 4.4 version).
168 - added bdb error constants.
169 - add set_errfile/set_msgfile/set_verbose.
170 - shared code between IO::AIO and BDB.
171 - upgrade to xthread.h from IO::AIO for win32 compatibility.
172 - port to win32 (there is an unexplainable hang in
173 db_sequence_get...).
174
175 0.1 Mon Mar 5 20:44:18 CET 2007
176 - cloned from IO::AIO.
177
