Revision history for Perl extension BerkeleyDB.
0.22 17th May 2003
* win32 problem with open macro fixed.
0.21 12th May 2003
* adding support for env->set_flags
* adding recursion detection
* win32 problem with rename fixed.
* problem with sub-database name in Recno & Queue fixed.
* fixed the mldbm.t test harness to work with perl 5.8.0
* added a note about not using a network drive when running the
test harness.
* fixed c_pget

* the dbinfo script will now indicate if the database is encrypted
* The CLEAR method is now CDB safe.
0.20 2nd September 2002
* More support for building with Berkeley DB 4.1.x
* db->get & db->pget used the wrong output macro for DBM filters
bug spotted by Aaron Ross.
* db_join didn't keep a reference to the cursors it was joining.
Spotted by Winton Davies.
0.19 5th June 2002
* Removed the targets that used mkconsts from Makefile.PL. They relied
on a module that is not available in all versions of Perl.
* added support for env->set_verbose
* added support for db->truncate
* added support for db->rename via BerkeleyDB::db_rename
* added support for db->verify via BerkeleyDB::db_verify
* added support for db->associate, db->pget & cursor->c_pget
* Builds with Berkeley DB 4.1.x
0.18 6th January 2002
* Dropped support for ErrFile as a file handle. It was proving too
difficult to get at the underlying FILE * in XS.
Reported by Jonas Smedegaard (Debian powerpc) & Kenneth Olwing (Win32)
* Fixed problem with abort macro in XSUB.h clashing with txn abort
method in Berkeley DB 4.x -- patch supplied by Kenneth Olwing.
* DB->set_alloc was getting called too late in BerkeleyDB.xs.
This was causing problems with ActivePerl -- problem reported
by Kenneth Olwing.
* When opening a queue, the Len proprty set the DB_PAD flag.
Should have been DB_FIXEDLEN. Fix provided by Kenneth Olwing.
* Test harness fixes from Kenneth Olwing.
0.17 23 September 2001
* Fixed a bug in BerkeleyDB::Recno - reported by Niklas Paulsson.
* Added log_archive - patch supplied by Benjamin Holzman
* Added txn_discard
* Builds with Berkeley DB 4.0.x
0.16 1 August 2001
* added support for Berkeley DB 3.3.x (but no support for any of the
new features just yet)
0.15 26 April 2001
* Fixed a bug in the processing of the flags options in
db_key_range.
* added support for set_lg_max & set_lg_bsize
* allow DB_TMP_DIR and DB_TEMP_DIR
* the -Filename parameter to BerkeleyDB::Queue didn't work.
* added symbol DB_CONSUME_WAIT
0.14 21st January 2001
* Silenced the warnings when build with a 64-bit Perl.
* Can now build with DB 3.2.3h (part of MySQL). The test harness
takes an age to do the queue test, but it does eventually pass.
* Mentioned the problems that occur when perl is built with sfio.
0.13 15th January 2001
* Added support to allow this module to build with Berkeley DB 3.2
* Updated dbinfo to support Berkeley DB 3.1 & 3.2 file format
changes.
* Documented the Solaris 2.7 core dump problem in README.
* Tidied up the test harness to fix a problem on Solaris where the
"fred" directory wasn't being deleted when it should have been.
* two calls to "open" clashed with a win32 macro.
* size argument for hash_cb is different for Berkeley DB 3.x
* Documented the issue of building on Linux.
* Added -Server, -CacheSize & -LockDetect options
[original patch supplied by Graham Barr]
* Added support for set_mutexlocks, c_count, set_q_extentsize,
key_range, c_dup
* Dropped the "attempted to close a Cursor with an open transaction"
error in c_close. The correct behaviour is that the cursor
should be closed before committing/aborting the transaction.
0.12 2nd August 2000
* Serious bug with get fixed. Spotted by Sleepycat.
* Added hints file for Solaris & Irix (courtesy of Albert Chin-A-Young)
0.11 4th June 2000
* When built with Berkeley Db 3.x there can be a clash with the close
macro.
* Typo in the definition of DB_WRITECURSOR
* The flags parameter wasn't getting sent to db_cursor
* Plugged small memory leak in db_cursor (DESTROY wasn't freeing
memory)
* Can be built with Berkeley DB 3.1
0.10 8th December 1999
* The DESTROY method was missing for BerkeleyDB::Env. This resulted in
a memory leak. Fixed.
* If opening an environment or database failed, there was a small
memory leak. This has been fixed.
* A thread-enabled Perl it could core when a database was closed.
Problem traced to the strdup function.
0.09 29th November 1999
* the queue.t & subdb.t test harnesses were outputting a few
spurious warnings. This has been fixed.
0.08 28nd November 1999
* More documentation updates
* Changed reference to files in /tmp in examples.t
* Fixed a typo in softCrash that caused problems when building
with a thread-enabled Perl.
* BerkeleyDB::Error wasn't initialised properly.
* ANSI-ified all the static C functions in BerkeleyDB.xs
* Added support for the following DB 3.x features:
+ The Queue database type
+ db_remove
+ subdatabases
+ db_stat for Hash & Queue
0.07 21st September 1999
* Numerous small bug fixes.
* Added support for sorting duplicate values DB_DUPSORT.
* Added support for DB_GET_BOTH & DB_NEXT_DUP.
* Added get_dup (from DB_File).
* beefed up the documentation.
* Forgot to add the DB_INIT_CDB in BerkeleyDB.pm in previous release.
* Merged the DBM Filter code from DB_File into BerkeleyDB.
* Fixed a nasty bug where a closed transaction was still used with
with dp_put, db_get etc.
* Added logic to gracefully close everything whenever a fatal error
happens. Previously the plug was just pulled.
* It is now a fatal error to explicitly close an environment if there
is still an open database; a database when there are open cursors or
an open transaction; and a cursor if there is an open transaction.
Using object destruction doesn't have this issue, as object
references will ensure everything gets closed in the correct order.
* The BOOT code now checks that the version of db.h & libdb are the
same - this seems to be a common problem on Linux.
* MLDBM support added.
* Support for the new join cursor added.
* Builds with Berkeley DB 3.x
* Updated dbinfo for Berkeley DB 3.x file formats.
* Deprecated the TxnMgr class. As with Berkeley DB version 3,
txn_begin etc are now accessed via the environment object.
0.06 19 December 1998
* Minor modifications to get the module to build with DB 2.6.x
* Added support for DB 2.6.x's Concurrent Access Method, DB_INIT_CDB.
0.05 9 November 1998
* Added a note to README about how to build Berkeley DB 2.x
when using HP-UX.
* Minor modifications to get the module to build with DB 2.5.x
0.04 19 May 1998
* Define DEFSV & SAVE_DEFSV if not already defined. This allows
the module to be built with Perl 5.004_04.
0.03 5 May 1998
* fixed db_get with DB_SET_RECNO
* fixed c_get with DB_SET_RECNO and DB_GET_RECNO
* implemented BerkeleyDB::Unknown
* implemented BerkeleyDB::Recno, including push, pop etc
modified the txn support.
0.02 30 October 1997
* renamed module to BerkeleyDB
* fixed a few bugs & added more tests
0.01 23 October 1997
* first alpha release as BerkDB.
