57     * added code to guard against calling the callbacks (compare,hash & prefix)
58     recursively.
59    
60     * pasing undef for the flags and/or mode when opening a database could cause

114    
115     1.78 30th July 2001

124    
125    
126     1.77 26th April 2001
127    
128     * AIX is reported to need -lpthreads, so Makefile.PL now checks for
129     AIX and adds it to the link options.

142    
143     * Added instructions for using LD_PRELOAD to get Berkeley DB 2.x to work
144     with DB_File on Linux. Thanks to Norbert Bollow for sending details of
145     this approach.
146    
147    
148     1.75 17th December 2000
149    
150     * Fixed perl core patch 7703
151    
152     * Added suppport to allow DB_File to be built with Berkeley DB 3.2 --
153     btree_compare, btree_prefix and hash_cb needed to be changed.
154    
155     * Updated dbinfo to support Berkeley DB 3.2 file format changes.
156    
157    
158     1.74 10th December 2000
159    
160     * A "close" call in DB_File.xs needed parenthesised to stop win32 from
161     thinking it was one of its macros.
162    
163     * Updated dbinfo to support Berkeley DB 3.1 file format changes.
164    
165     * DB_File.pm & the test hasness now use the warnings pragma (when
166     available).
167    
168     * Included Perl core patch 7703 -- size argument for hash_cb is different
169     for Berkeley DB 3.x
170    
171     * Included Perl core patch 7801 -- Give __getBerkeleyDBInfo the ANSI C
172     treatment.
173    
174     * @a = () produced the warning 'Argument "" isn't numeric in entersub'
175     This has been fixed. Thanks to Edward Avis for spotting this bug.
176    
177     * Added note about building under Linux. Included patches.
178    
179     * Included Perl core patch 8068 -- fix for bug 20001013.009
180     When run with warnings enabled "$hash{XX} = undef " produced an
181     "Uninitialized value" warning. This has been fixed.
182    
183     1.73 31st May 2000
184    
185     * Added support in version.c for building with threaded Perl.

190     1.72 16th January 2000
191    
192     * Added hints/sco.pl
193    
194     * The module will now use XSLoader when it is available. When it
195     isn't it will use DynaLoader.
196    
197     * The locking section in DB_File.pm has been discredited. Many thanks
198     to David Harris for spotting the underlying problem, contributing
199     the updates to the documentation and writing DB_File::Lock (available
200     on CPAN).
201    
202     1.71 7th September 1999

213     GV_ADD|GV_ADDMULT -- bug spotted by Nick Ing-Simmons.
214    
215     * Added a BOOT check to test for equivalent versions of db.h &
216     libdb.a/so.
217    
218     1.69 3rd August 1999

221    
222     * Fixed the R_SETCURSOR bug introduced in 1.68
223    
224     * Added a new Perl variable $DB_File::db_ver

226     1.68 22nd July 1999
227    
228     * Merged changes from 5.005_58
229    
230     * Fixed a bug in R_IBEFORE & R_IAFTER procesing in Berkeley DB
231     2 databases.
232    
233     * Added some of the examples in the POD into the test harness.
234    
235     1.67 6th June 1999
236    
237     * Added DBM Filter documentation to DB_File.pm
238    
239     * Fixed DBM Filter code to work with 5.004
240    
241     * A few instances of newSVpvn were used in 1.66. This isn't available in

243    
244     1.66 15th March 1999
245    
246     * Added DBM Filter code
247    
248     1.65 6th March 1999
249    
250     * Fixed a bug in the recno PUSH logic.
251     * The BOOT version check now needs 2.3.4 when using Berkeley DB version 2
252    
253     1.64 21st February 1999
254    
255     * Tidied the 1.x to 2.x flag mapping code.
256     * Added a patch from Mark Kettenis <kettenis@wins.uva.nl> to fix a flag
257     mapping problem with O_RDONLY on the Hurd
258     * Updated the message that db-recno.t prints when tests 51, 53 or 55 fail.
259    
260     1.63 19th December 1998
261    
262     * Fix to allow DB 2.6.x to build with DB_File
263     * Documentation updated to use push,pop etc in the RECNO example &
264     to include the find_dup & del_dup methods.
265    
266     1.62 30th November 1998
267    
268     Added hints/dynixptx.pl.
269     Fixed typemap -- 1.61 used PL_na instead of na
270    
271     1.61 19th November 1998
272    
273     Added a note to README about how to build Berkeley DB 2.x when
274     using HP-UX.
275     Minor modifications to get the module to build with DB 2.5.x
276     Fixed a typo in the definition of O_RDONLY, courtesy of Mark Kettenis.
277    
278     1.60
279     Changed the test to check for full tied array support
280    
281     1.59
282     Updated the license section.
283    
284     Berkeley DB 2.4.10 disallows zero length keys. Tests 32 & 42 in
285     db-btree.t and test 27 in db-hash.t failed because of this change.
286     Those tests have been zapped.
287    
288     Added dbinfo to the distribution.
289    
290     1.58
291     Tied Array support was enhanced in Perl 5.004_57. DB_File now
292     supports PUSH,POP,SHIFT,UNSHIFT & STORESIZE.
293    
294     Fixed a problem with the use of sv_setpvn. When the size is
295     specified as 0, it does a strlen on the data. This was ok for DB
296     1.x, but isn't for DB 2.x.
297    
298     1.57
299     If Perl has been compiled with Threads support,the symbol op will be
300     defined. This clashes with a field name in db.h, so it needs to be
301     #undef'ed before db.h is included.
302    
303     1.56
304     Documented the Solaris 2.5 mutex bug
305    
306     1.55
307     Merged 1.16 changes.
308    
309     1.54
310    
311     Fixed a small bug in the test harness when run under win32
312     The emulation of fd when useing DB 2.x was busted.
313    
314     1.53
315    
316     Added DB_RENUMBER to flags for recno.
317    
318     1.52
319    
320     Patch from Nick Ing-Simmons now allows DB_File to build on NT.
321     Merged 1.15 patch.
322    
323     1.51
324    
325     Fixed the test harness so that it doesn't expect DB_File to have
326     been installed by the main Perl build.
327    
328    
329     Fixed a bug in mapping 1.x O_RDONLY flag to 2.x DB_RDONLY equivalent
330    
331     1.50
332    
333     DB_File can now build with either DB 1.x or 2.x, but not both at
334     the same time.
335    
336     1.16
337    
338     A harmless looking tab was causing Makefile.PL to fail on AIX 3.2.5
339    
340     Small fix for the AIX strict C compiler XLC which doesn't like
341     __attribute__ being defined via proto.h and redefined via db.h. Fix
342     courtesy of Jarkko Hietaniemi.
343    
344     1.15
345    
346     Patch from Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no> to suppress "use of undefined
347     value" warning with db_get and db_seq.
348    
349     Patch from Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no> to make DB_File export only the
350     O_* constants from Fcntl.
351    
352     Removed the DESTROY method from the DB_File::HASHINFO module.
353    
354     Previously DB_File hard-wired the class name of any object that it
355     created to "DB_File". This makes sub-classing difficult. Now
356     DB_File creats objects in the namespace of the package it has been
357     inherited into.
358    
359    
360     1.14
361    
362     Made it illegal to tie an associative array to a RECNO database and
363     an ordinary array to a HASH or BTREE database.
364    
365     1.13
366    
367     Minor changes to DB_FIle.xs and DB_File.pm
368    
369     1.12
370    
371     Documented the incompatibility with version 2 of Berkeley DB.
372    
373     1.11
374    
375     Documented the untie gotcha.
376    
377     1.10
378    
379     Fixed fd method so that it still returns -1 for in-memory files
380     when db 1.86 is used.
381    
382     1.09
383    
384     Minor bug fix in DB_File::HASHINFO, DB_File::RECNOINFO and
385     DB_File::BTREEINFO.
386    
387     Changed default mode to 0666.
388    
389     1.08
390    
391     Documented operation of bval.
392    
393     1.07
394    
395     Fixed bug with RECNO, where bval wasn't defaulting to "\n".
396    
397     1.06
398    
399     Minor namespace cleanup: Localized PrintBtree.
400    
401     1.05
402    
403     Made all scripts in the documentation strict and -w clean.
404    
405     Added logic to DB_File.xs to allow the module to be built after
406     Perl is installed.
407    
408     1.04
409    
410     Minor documentation changes.
411    
412     Fixed a bug in hash_cb. Patches supplied by Dave Hammen,
413     <hammen@gothamcity.jsc.nasa.govt>.
414    
415     Fixed a bug with the constructors for DB_File::HASHINFO,
416     DB_File::BTREEINFO and DB_File::RECNOINFO. Also tidied up the
417     constructors to make them -w clean.
418    
419     Reworked part of the test harness to be more locale friendly.
420    
421     1.03
422    
423     Documentation update.
424    
425     DB_File now imports the constants (O_RDWR, O_CREAT etc.) from Fcntl
426     automatically.
427    
428     The standard hash function exists is now supported.
429    
430     Modified the behavior of get_dup. When it returns an associative
431     array, the value is the count of the number of matching BTREE
432     values.
433    
434     1.02
435    
436     Merged OS/2 specific code into DB_File.xs
437    
438     Removed some redundant code in DB_File.xs.
439    
440     Documentation update.
441    
442     Allow negative subscripts with RECNO interface.
443    
444     Changed the default flags from O_RDWR to O_CREAT|O_RDWR.
445    
446     The example code which showed how to lock a database needed a call
447     to sync added. Without it the resultant database file was empty.
448    
449     Added get_dup method.
450    
451     1.01
452    
453     Fixed a core dump problem with SunOS.
454    
455     The return value from TIEHASH wasn't set to NULL when dbopen
456     returned an error.
457    
458     1.0
459    
460     DB_File has been in use for over a year. To reflect that, the
461     version number has been incremented to 1.0.
462    
463     Added complete support for multiple concurrent callbacks.
464    
465     Using the push method on an empty list didn't work properly. This
466     has been fixed.
467    
468     0.3
469    
470     Added prototype support for multiple btree compare callbacks.
471    
472     0.2
473    
474     When DB_File is opening a database file it no longer terminates the
475     process if dbopen returned an error. This allows file protection
476     errors to be caught at run time. Thanks to Judith Grass
477     <grass@cybercash.com> for spotting the bug.
478    
479     0.1
480    
481     First Release.
482
