6 1.91 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
7 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
8 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
9 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
10 compatibility - I will never understand.
11 - make sure DBD.pm is installed to the correct directory.
12 - support up to bdb 6.0.
13 - (xthread) work around compile time bugs in ptw32.
14
15 1.9 Mon Dec 26 02:46:09 CET 2011
16 - partial: update for libdb 5.2 (to make it compile only).
17
18 1.89 Fri Jul 29 11:29:21 CEST 2011
19 - make it compile and test successfully with libdb 5.1, but
20 do not add any new symbols or functionality.
21
22 1.88 Wed Mar 31 02:43:42 CEST 2010
23 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
24 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
25 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
26 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
27 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
28
29 1.87 Tue Dec 22 03:06:09 CET 2009
30 - db 4.8 has removed XA resource manager functionality,
31 cope with it.
32 - add LOGVERSION, LOGVERSION_LATCHING, LOGOLDVER
33 symbols.
34
35 1.86 Fri Dec 4 16:03:21 CET 2009
36 - port to broken loser platform.
37
38 1.85 Thu Nov 12 03:22:21 CET 2009
39 - speed up object creation/type checking considerably
40 by caching the stashes.
41
42 1.84 Wed Aug 5 13:52:21 CEST 2009
43 - require common sense.
44 - use schmorp.h for pipe, taking advantage of eventfd.
45 - fix a bug in event pipe creation code on win32.
46
47 1.83 Sun Jan 11 01:52:56 CET 2009
48 - fix db_upgrade, add db_verify.
49
50 1.82 Sun Jan 4 11:22:44 CET 2009
51 - use our own socketpair emulation (stolen from libev), as perl's
52 doesn't work on vista, which returns fantasy port numbers
53 in getpeer/sockname.
54
55 1.81 Tue Oct 21 04:20:25 CEST 2008
56 - check that mutable arguments can be downgraded - this
57 /very indirectly) ensures that output variables won't
58 have spurious utf-8 flags.
59 - fix opmode checdk in db_c_get, db_c_pget again.
60 - allow undef/default arguments for db_compact, for a
61 crash-free tomorrow!
62 - fix a memleak in db_key_range.
63 - started a common pitfdalls section.
64 - added db_env_log_archive.
65 - added db->set_pagesize.
66 - added BDB::IGNORE_LEASE.
67 - reworked documentation structure.
68
69 1.801 Mon Sep 29 04:58:03 CEST 2008
70 - removed ptrace.h and user.h includes thta have been left in
71 erronously.
72 - "port" to buggy windows compilers. again.
73
74 1.8 Sat Sep 27 14:01:37 CEST 2008
75 - non-callback requests will now - by default - be executed in the
76 foreground, which is much faster, but doesn't allow parallel
77 processing of other, event-based, requests.
78 - functions that modify their arguments now croak when a constant
79 is passed to them.
80 - db_c_get/db_c_pget requests did not correctly test the operation flags.
81 - db_pget now correctly updates the pkey argument.
82 - keep references to the passed env/db/etc. objects so they
83 can't get destroyed while requests are still outstanding.
84 - fixed a few minor stack issues.
85
86 1.71 Tue Jul 29 05:30:24 CEST 2008
87 - add const char * to typemap for possible 5.6 support.
88 - untested support for db4.3.
89 - berkelydb needs seriously larger stacksizes (on x86 at least)
90 then what the default xthread.h provides.
91
92 1.7 Thu Jul 17 14:09:25 CEST 2008
93 - use a totally different mechanism to pass callbacks to
94 requests (see manpage).
95 - optional arguments before the callback can now be left out.
96 - use less memory per request, probably be a bit faster, too.
97 - fix a memory leak (callbacks were never freed).
98 - add a basic testsuite.
99 - add (untested) support for cdsgroup_begin and db_exists.
100 - make BDB::VERSION compatible to UNIVERSAL::VERSION.
101
102 1.6 Tue Jul 8 10:34:58 CEST 2008
103 - add new BDB::VERSION function for easy version checks.
104 - work around broken bsd headers once more.
105 - support for berkeley db 4.7 added.
106 - add support for log_set_config and it's constants,
107 and set_intermediate_dir_mode.
108 - add db_env_dbrename and db_env_dbremove.
109
110 1.5 Sat May 10 22:22:42 CEST 2008
111 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
112 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
113 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
114 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
115 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
116 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
117 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
118 - support AnyEvent::BDB.
119
120 1.45 Sun Mar 30 10:01:00 CEST 2008
121 - work around win32 perl's broken filehandles
122 (this cannot work in all cases, so watch out).
123
124 1.44 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
125 - encode filenames as utf-8 (for bdb/win32)
126 or binary (everywhere else).
127 - patch $! to support stringification of BDB errno values
128 (utter hack, this should be pluggable :).
129 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
130
131 1.43 Sun Jan 13 11:52:49 CET 2008
132 - differentiate between nuked and undef objects, so as to
133 not throw an exception when destroying closed handles.
134
135 1.42 Tue Dec 25 15:22:50 CET 2007
136 - do not automatically call set_thread_count.
137
138 1.41 Sat Dec 22 08:32:41 CET 2007
139 - add cursor->set_priority.
140 - minor optimisations and checks.
141 - port to microsoft pseudo-C again.
142
143 1.4 Wed Dec 12 02:20:39 CET 2007
144 - new globals BDB::VERSION and ..VERSION_STRING.
145 - add db_upgrade.
146 - do not die in DESTROY after explicit db_close and similar
147 operations.
148
149 1.3 Fri Dec 7 14:36:25 CET 2007
150 - db_put and c_put leaked memory like hell (reported by Danny).
151 - de-IO::AIO-ify the documentation.
152 - port to microsofts pseudo-C from hell.
153 - added mutex_set_increment, mutex_set_tas_spins
154 and mutex_set_max, mutex_set_align.
155
156 1.2 Tue Dec 4 11:12:47 CET 2007
157 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
158 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
159 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
160 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
161 - added missing DB::RDONLY (reported by Danny).
162
163 1.1 Sun Sep 16 20:15:55 CEST 2007
164 - flag and check TXN_DEADLOCK flag for easier transaction
165 programming (see db_txn_finish).
166 - new custom db_txn_finish request.
167 - improved docs.
168
169 1.0 Mon Aug 13 14:02:42 CEST 2007
170 - some updates for db 4.6.
171 - vastly improved documentation, i.e. there is some now.
172 - this module has been tested a lot in the Crossfire TRT server.
173
174 0.5 Sun Jul 8 16:57:03 CEST 2007
175 - port to db 4.4.20 (probably any 4.4 version).
176 - added bdb error constants.
177 - add set_errfile/set_msgfile/set_verbose.
178 - shared code between IO::AIO and BDB.
179 - upgrade to xthread.h from IO::AIO for win32 compatibility.
180 - port to win32 (there is an unexplainable hang in
181 db_sequence_get...).
182
183 0.1 Mon Mar 5 20:44:18 CET 2007
184 - cloned from IO::AIO.
185
