Revision history for Perl extension BerkeleyDB.
0.01 23 October 1997
* first alpha release as BerkDB.
0.02 30 October 1997
* renamed module to BerkeleyDB
* fixed a few bugs & added more tests
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.
0.04 19 May 1998
* Define DEFSV & SAVE_DEFSV if not already defined. This allows
the module to be built with Perl 5.004_04.
0.05 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
0.06 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.
0.07 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.
0.08 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
0.09 29th November 1999
* the queue.t & subdb.t test harnesses were outputting a few
spurious warnings. This has been fixed.
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.
0.11 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
0.12 2nd August 2000
* Serious bug with get fixed. Spotted by Sleepycat.
* Added hints file for Solaris & Irix (courtesy of Albert Chin-A-Young)
0.13 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.
