5
6 - new request: db_env_lsn_reset.
7
8 1.91 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
9 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
10 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
11 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
12 compatibility - I will never understand.
13 - make sure DBD.pm is installed to the correct directory.
14 - support up to bdb 6.0.
15 - (xthread) work around compile time bugs in ptw32.
16
17 1.9 Mon Dec 26 02:46:09 CET 2011
18 - partial: update for libdb 5.2 (to make it compile only).
19
20 1.89 Fri Jul 29 11:29:21 CEST 2011
21 - make it compile and test successfully with libdb 5.1, but
22 do not add any new symbols or functionality.
23
24 1.88 Wed Mar 31 02:43:42 CEST 2010
25 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
26 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
27 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
28 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
29 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
30
31 1.87 Tue Dec 22 03:06:09 CET 2009
32 - db 4.8 has removed XA resource manager functionality,
33 cope with it.
34 - add LOGVERSION, LOGVERSION_LATCHING, LOGOLDVER
35 symbols.
36
37 1.86 Fri Dec 4 16:03:21 CET 2009
38 - port to broken loser platform.
39
40 1.85 Thu Nov 12 03:22:21 CET 2009
41 - speed up object creation/type checking considerably
42 by caching the stashes.
43
44 1.84 Wed Aug 5 13:52:21 CEST 2009
45 - require common sense.
46 - use schmorp.h for pipe, taking advantage of eventfd.
47 - fix a bug in event pipe creation code on win32.
48
49 1.83 Sun Jan 11 01:52:56 CET 2009
50 - fix db_upgrade, add db_verify.
51
52 1.82 Sun Jan 4 11:22:44 CET 2009
53 - use our own socketpair emulation (stolen from libev), as perl's
54 doesn't work on vista, which returns fantasy port numbers
55 in getpeer/sockname.
56
57 1.81 Tue Oct 21 04:20:25 CEST 2008
58 - check that mutable arguments can be downgraded - this
59 /very indirectly) ensures that output variables won't
60 have spurious utf-8 flags.
61 - fix opmode checdk in db_c_get, db_c_pget again.
62 - allow undef/default arguments for db_compact, for a
63 crash-free tomorrow!
64 - fix a memleak in db_key_range.
65 - started a common pitfdalls section.
66 - added db_env_log_archive.
67 - added db->set_pagesize.
68 - added BDB::IGNORE_LEASE.
69 - reworked documentation structure.
70
71 1.801 Mon Sep 29 04:58:03 CEST 2008
72 - removed ptrace.h and user.h includes thta have been left in
73 erronously.
74 - "port" to buggy windows compilers. again.
75
76 1.8 Sat Sep 27 14:01:37 CEST 2008
77 - non-callback requests will now - by default - be executed in the
78 foreground, which is much faster, but doesn't allow parallel
79 processing of other, event-based, requests.
80 - functions that modify their arguments now croak when a constant
81 is passed to them.
82 - db_c_get/db_c_pget requests did not correctly test the operation flags.
83 - db_pget now correctly updates the pkey argument.
84 - keep references to the passed env/db/etc. objects so they
85 can't get destroyed while requests are still outstanding.
86 - fixed a few minor stack issues.
87
88 1.71 Tue Jul 29 05:30:24 CEST 2008
89 - add const char * to typemap for possible 5.6 support.
90 - untested support for db4.3.
91 - berkelydb needs seriously larger stacksizes (on x86 at least)
92 then what the default xthread.h provides.
93
94 1.7 Thu Jul 17 14:09:25 CEST 2008
95 - use a totally different mechanism to pass callbacks to
96 requests (see manpage).
97 - optional arguments before the callback can now be left out.
98 - use less memory per request, probably be a bit faster, too.
99 - fix a memory leak (callbacks were never freed).
100 - add a basic testsuite.
101 - add (untested) support for cdsgroup_begin and db_exists.
102 - make BDB::VERSION compatible to UNIVERSAL::VERSION.
103
104 1.6 Tue Jul 8 10:34:58 CEST 2008
105 - add new BDB::VERSION function for easy version checks.
106 - work around broken bsd headers once more.
107 - support for berkeley db 4.7 added.
108 - add support for log_set_config and it's constants,
109 and set_intermediate_dir_mode.
110 - add db_env_dbrename and db_env_dbremove.
111
112 1.5 Sat May 10 22:22:42 CEST 2008
113 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
114 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
115 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
116 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
117 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
118 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
119 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
120 - support AnyEvent::BDB.
121
122 1.45 Sun Mar 30 10:01:00 CEST 2008
123 - work around win32 perl's broken filehandles
124 (this cannot work in all cases, so watch out).
125
126 1.44 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
127 - encode filenames as utf-8 (for bdb/win32)
128 or binary (everywhere else).
129 - patch $! to support stringification of BDB errno values
130 (utter hack, this should be pluggable :).
131 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
132
133 1.43 Sun Jan 13 11:52:49 CET 2008
134 - differentiate between nuked and undef objects, so as to
135 not throw an exception when destroying closed handles.
136
137 1.42 Tue Dec 25 15:22:50 CET 2007
138 - do not automatically call set_thread_count.
139
140 1.41 Sat Dec 22 08:32:41 CET 2007
141 - add cursor->set_priority.
142 - minor optimisations and checks.
143 - port to microsoft pseudo-C again.
144
145 1.4 Wed Dec 12 02:20:39 CET 2007
146 - new globals BDB::VERSION and ..VERSION_STRING.
147 - add db_upgrade.
148 - do not die in DESTROY after explicit db_close and similar
149 operations.
150
151 1.3 Fri Dec 7 14:36:25 CET 2007
152 - db_put and c_put leaked memory like hell (reported by Danny).
153 - de-IO::AIO-ify the documentation.
154 - port to microsofts pseudo-C from hell.
155 - added mutex_set_increment, mutex_set_tas_spins
156 and mutex_set_max, mutex_set_align.
157
158 1.2 Tue Dec 4 11:12:47 CET 2007
159 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
160 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
161 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
162 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
163 - added missing DB::RDONLY (reported by Danny).
164
165 1.1 Sun Sep 16 20:15:55 CEST 2007
166 - flag and check TXN_DEADLOCK flag for easier transaction
167 programming (see db_txn_finish).
168 - new custom db_txn_finish request.
169 - improved docs.
170
171 1.0 Mon Aug 13 14:02:42 CEST 2007
172 - some updates for db 4.6.
173 - vastly improved documentation, i.e. there is some now.
174 - this module has been tested a lot in the Crossfire TRT server.
175
176 0.5 Sun Jul 8 16:57:03 CEST 2007
177 - port to db 4.4.20 (probably any 4.4 version).
178 - added bdb error constants.
179 - add set_errfile/set_msgfile/set_verbose.
180 - shared code between IO::AIO and BDB.
181 - upgrade to xthread.h from IO::AIO for win32 compatibility.
182 - port to win32 (there is an unexplainable hang in
183 db_sequence_get...).
184
185 0.1 Mon Mar 5 20:44:18 CET 2007
186 - cloned from IO::AIO.
187
