6 1.92 Thu Jan 18 17:43:14 CET 2018
7 - further USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES fixes (Z59).
8 - new requests: db_env_lsn_reset, db_env_fileid_reset.
9
10 1.91 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
11 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
12 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
13 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
14 compatibility - I will never understand.
15 - make sure DBD.pm is installed to the correct directory.
16 - support up to bdb 6.0.
17 - (xthread) work around compile time bugs in ptw32.
18
19 1.9 Mon Dec 26 02:46:09 CET 2011
20 - partial: update for libdb 5.2 (to make it compile only).
21
22 1.89 Fri Jul 29 11:29:21 CEST 2011
23 - make it compile and test successfully with libdb 5.1, but
24 do not add any new symbols or functionality.
25
26 1.88 Wed Mar 31 02:43:42 CEST 2010
27 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
28 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
29 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
30 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
31 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
32
33 1.87 Tue Dec 22 03:06:09 CET 2009
34 - db 4.8 has removed XA resource manager functionality,
35 cope with it.
36 - add LOGVERSION, LOGVERSION_LATCHING, LOGOLDVER
37 symbols.
38
39 1.86 Fri Dec 4 16:03:21 CET 2009
40 - port to broken loser platform.
41
42 1.85 Thu Nov 12 03:22:21 CET 2009
43 - speed up object creation/type checking considerably
44 by caching the stashes.
45
46 1.84 Wed Aug 5 13:52:21 CEST 2009
47 - require common sense.
48 - use schmorp.h for pipe, taking advantage of eventfd.
49 - fix a bug in event pipe creation code on win32.
50
51 1.83 Sun Jan 11 01:52:56 CET 2009
52 - fix db_upgrade, add db_verify.
53
54 1.82 Sun Jan 4 11:22:44 CET 2009
55 - use our own socketpair emulation (stolen from libev), as perl's
56 doesn't work on vista, which returns fantasy port numbers
57 in getpeer/sockname.
58
59 1.81 Tue Oct 21 04:20:25 CEST 2008
60 - check that mutable arguments can be downgraded - this
61 /very indirectly) ensures that output variables won't
62 have spurious utf-8 flags.
63 - fix opmode checdk in db_c_get, db_c_pget again.
64 - allow undef/default arguments for db_compact, for a
65 crash-free tomorrow!
66 - fix a memleak in db_key_range.
67 - started a common pitfdalls section.
68 - added db_env_log_archive.
69 - added db->set_pagesize.
70 - added BDB::IGNORE_LEASE.
71 - reworked documentation structure.
72
73 1.801 Mon Sep 29 04:58:03 CEST 2008
74 - removed ptrace.h and user.h includes thta have been left in
75 erronously.
76 - "port" to buggy windows compilers. again.
77
78 1.8 Sat Sep 27 14:01:37 CEST 2008
79 - non-callback requests will now - by default - be executed in the
80 foreground, which is much faster, but doesn't allow parallel
81 processing of other, event-based, requests.
82 - functions that modify their arguments now croak when a constant
83 is passed to them.
84 - db_c_get/db_c_pget requests did not correctly test the operation flags.
85 - db_pget now correctly updates the pkey argument.
86 - keep references to the passed env/db/etc. objects so they
87 can't get destroyed while requests are still outstanding.
88 - fixed a few minor stack issues.
89
90 1.71 Tue Jul 29 05:30:24 CEST 2008
91 - add const char * to typemap for possible 5.6 support.
92 - untested support for db4.3.
93 - berkelydb needs seriously larger stacksizes (on x86 at least)
94 then what the default xthread.h provides.
95
96 1.7 Thu Jul 17 14:09:25 CEST 2008
97 - use a totally different mechanism to pass callbacks to
98 requests (see manpage).
99 - optional arguments before the callback can now be left out.
100 - use less memory per request, probably be a bit faster, too.
101 - fix a memory leak (callbacks were never freed).
102 - add a basic testsuite.
103 - add (untested) support for cdsgroup_begin and db_exists.
104 - make BDB::VERSION compatible to UNIVERSAL::VERSION.
105
106 1.6 Tue Jul 8 10:34:58 CEST 2008
107 - add new BDB::VERSION function for easy version checks.
108 - work around broken bsd headers once more.
109 - support for berkeley db 4.7 added.
110 - add support for log_set_config and it's constants,
111 and set_intermediate_dir_mode.
112 - add db_env_dbrename and db_env_dbremove.
113
114 1.5 Sat May 10 22:22:42 CEST 2008
115 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
116 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
117 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
118 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
119 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
120 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
121 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
122 - support AnyEvent::BDB.
123
124 1.45 Sun Mar 30 10:01:00 CEST 2008
125 - work around win32 perl's broken filehandles
126 (this cannot work in all cases, so watch out).
127
128 1.44 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
129 - encode filenames as utf-8 (for bdb/win32)
130 or binary (everywhere else).
131 - patch $! to support stringification of BDB errno values
132 (utter hack, this should be pluggable :).
133 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
134
135 1.43 Sun Jan 13 11:52:49 CET 2008
136 - differentiate between nuked and undef objects, so as to
137 not throw an exception when destroying closed handles.
138
139 1.42 Tue Dec 25 15:22:50 CET 2007
140 - do not automatically call set_thread_count.
141
142 1.41 Sat Dec 22 08:32:41 CET 2007
143 - add cursor->set_priority.
144 - minor optimisations and checks.
145 - port to microsoft pseudo-C again.
146
147 1.4 Wed Dec 12 02:20:39 CET 2007
148 - new globals BDB::VERSION and ..VERSION_STRING.
149 - add db_upgrade.
150 - do not die in DESTROY after explicit db_close and similar
151 operations.
152
153 1.3 Fri Dec 7 14:36:25 CET 2007
154 - db_put and c_put leaked memory like hell (reported by Danny).
155 - de-IO::AIO-ify the documentation.
156 - port to microsofts pseudo-C from hell.
157 - added mutex_set_increment, mutex_set_tas_spins
158 and mutex_set_max, mutex_set_align.
159
160 1.2 Tue Dec 4 11:12:47 CET 2007
161 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
162 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
163 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
164 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
165 - added missing DB::RDONLY (reported by Danny).
166
167 1.1 Sun Sep 16 20:15:55 CEST 2007
168 - flag and check TXN_DEADLOCK flag for easier transaction
169 programming (see db_txn_finish).
170 - new custom db_txn_finish request.
171 - improved docs.
172
173 1.0 Mon Aug 13 14:02:42 CEST 2007
174 - some updates for db 4.6.
175 - vastly improved documentation, i.e. there is some now.
176 - this module has been tested a lot in the Crossfire TRT server.
177
178 0.5 Sun Jul 8 16:57:03 CEST 2007
179 - port to db 4.4.20 (probably any 4.4 version).
180 - added bdb error constants.
181 - add set_errfile/set_msgfile/set_verbose.
182 - shared code between IO::AIO and BDB.
183 - upgrade to xthread.h from IO::AIO for win32 compatibility.
184 - port to win32 (there is an unexplainable hang in
185 db_sequence_get...).
186
187 0.1 Mon Mar 5 20:44:18 CET 2007
188 - cloned from IO::AIO.
189
