1Revision history for Perl extension BerkeleyDB. 2 30.34 27th March 2008 4 5 * Updates to support building with Berkeley DB version 4.7 6 7 * Typo in #ifdef for ThreadCount support. Spotted by Mark Hindley 8 9 * Updated dbinfo 10 110.33 17th January 2008 12 13 * Added failchk, set_isalive, lock_stat_print & mutex_stat_print. 14 Patch provided by Thomas Busch. 15 160.32 10th July 2007 17 18 * Updates to support Berkeley DB 4.6 19 20 * Remove all global static data from BerkeleyDB.xs. 21 220.31 15th Oct 2006 23 24 * Fixed DB_GET_BOTH. Tnanks to Thomas Drugeon for spotting the typo 25 in typemap and supplying a regression test for this fix. 26 270.30 11th Sept 2006 28 29 * Fixed queue test harness for Berkeley DB 4.5 compliance 30 31 * Added $env->lsn_reset, $txn->set_timeout, $env->set_timeout & 32 $env->get_timeout, $txn->set_tx_max, $txn->get_tx_max 33 340.29 2nd July 2006 35 36 * Fixes for cursor get from secondary where primary os recno. 37 38 * Added db_compact 39 400.28 11th June 2006 41 42 * Fixes for secondary where primary is recno. 43 44 * GET_BOTH_RANGE wasn't working. It is now. 45 46 * Added FreeBSD hints to README - patch supplied by David Landgren 47 in #17675 from rt.cpan.org 48 490.27 1st Novemver 2005 50 51 * Added support for Berkeley DB 4.4 52 53 * Fixed secondary key issue with recno databases 54 55 * Added libscan to Makefile.PL 56 57 * Fixed a problem in t/subdb.t that meant it hung on Win32. 58 59 * The logic for set_mutexlocks was inverted when using Berkeley DB 4.x 60 Bug spotted by Zefram <zefram@fysh.org> 61 62 * Transactional rename/remove added. 63 Patch supplied by Zefram <zefram@fysh.org> 64 65 660.26 10th October 2004 67 68 * Changed to allow Building with Berkeley DB 4.3 69 70 * added cds_lock and associated methods as a convenience to allow 71 safe updaing of database records when using Berkeley DB CDS mode. 72 73 * added t/cds.t and t/pod.t 74 75 * Modified the test suite to use "-ErrFile => *STDOUT" where 76 possible. This will make it easier to diagnose build issues. 77 78 * -Errfile will now accept a filehandle as well as a filename 79 This means that -ErrFile => *STDOUT will get all extended error 80 messages displayed directly on screen. 81 82 * Added support for set_shm_key & get_shm_key. 83 84 * Patch from Mark Jason Dominus to add a better error message 85 when an odd number of parameters are passed to ParseParameters. 86 87 * fixed off-by-one error in my_strdup 88 89 * Fixed a problem with push, pop, shift & unshift with Queue & 90 Recno when used in CDS mode. These methods were not using 91 a write cursor behind the scenes. 92 Problem reported by Pavel Hlavnicka. 93 940.25 1st November 2003 95 96 * Minor update to dbinfo 97 98 * Fixed a bug in the test harnesses that is only apparent in 99 perl 5.8.2. Original patch courtesy of Michael Schwern. 100 1010.24 27th September 2003 102 103 * Mentioned comp.databases.berkeley-db in README 104 105 * Builds with Berkeley DB 4.2 106 107 * The return type for db->db_fd was wrongly set at DualType - 108 should be int. 109 1100.23 15th June 2003 111 112 * Fixed problem where a secondary index would use the same 113 compare callback as the primary key, regardless of what was 114 defined for the secondary index. 115 Problem spotted by Dave Tallman. 116 117 * Also fixed a problem with the associate callback. If the value 118 for the secondary key was not a string, the secondary key was 119 being set incorrectly. This is now fixed. 120 121 * When built with Berkeley DB 3.2 or better, all callbacks now use 122 the BackRef pointer instead of the global CurrentDB. This was 123 done partially to fix the secondary index problem, above. 124 125 * The test harness was failing under cygwin. Now fixed. 126 127 * Previous release broke TRACE. Fixed. 128 1290.22 17th May 2003 130 131 * win32 problem with open macro fixed. 132 1330.21 12th May 2003 134 135 * adding support for env->set_flags 136 * adding recursion detection 137 * win32 problem with rename fixed. 138 * problem with sub-database name in Recno & Queue fixed. 139 * fixed the mldbm.t test harness to work with perl 5.8.0 140 * added a note about not using a network drive when running the 141 test harness. 142 * fixed c_pget 143 * added BerkeleyDB::Env::DB_ENV method 144 * added support for encryption 145 * the dbinfo script will now indicate if the database is encrypted 146 * The CLEAR method is now CDB safe. 147 1480.20 2nd September 2002 149 150 * More support for building with Berkeley DB 4.1.x 151 * db->get & db->pget used the wrong output macro for DBM filters 152 bug spotted by Aaron Ross. 153 * db_join didn't keep a reference to the cursors it was joining. 154 Spotted by Winton Davies. 155 1560.19 5th June 2002 157 * Removed the targets that used mkconsts from Makefile.PL. They relied 158 on a module that is not available in all versions of Perl. 159 * added support for env->set_verbose 160 * added support for db->truncate 161 * added support for db->rename via BerkeleyDB::db_rename 162 * added support for db->verify via BerkeleyDB::db_verify 163 * added support for db->associate, db->pget & cursor->c_pget 164 * Builds with Berkeley DB 4.1.x 165 166 1670.18 6th January 2002 168 * Dropped support for ErrFile as a file handle. It was proving too 169 difficult to get at the underlying FILE * in XS. 170 Reported by Jonas Smedegaard (Debian powerpc) & Kenneth Olwing (Win32) 171 * Fixed problem with abort macro in XSUB.h clashing with txn abort 172 method in Berkeley DB 4.x -- patch supplied by Kenneth Olwing. 173 * DB->set_alloc was getting called too late in BerkeleyDB.xs. 174 This was causing problems with ActivePerl -- problem reported 175 by Kenneth Olwing. 176 * When opening a queue, the Len proprty set the DB_PAD flag. 177 Should have been DB_FIXEDLEN. Fix provided by Kenneth Olwing. 178 * Test harness fixes from Kenneth Olwing. 179 1800.17 23 September 2001 181 * Fixed a bug in BerkeleyDB::Recno - reported by Niklas Paulsson. 182 * Added log_archive - patch supplied by Benjamin Holzman 183 * Added txn_discard 184 * Builds with Berkeley DB 4.0.x 185 1860.16 1 August 2001 187 * added support for Berkeley DB 3.3.x (but no support for any of the 188 new features just yet) 189 1900.15 26 April 2001 191 * Fixed a bug in the processing of the flags options in 192 db_key_range. 193 * added support for set_lg_max & set_lg_bsize 194 * allow DB_TMP_DIR and DB_TEMP_DIR 195 * the -Filename parameter to BerkeleyDB::Queue didn't work. 196 * added symbol DB_CONSUME_WAIT 197 1980.14 21st January 2001 199 * Silenced the warnings when build with a 64-bit Perl. 200 * Can now build with DB 3.2.3h (part of MySQL). The test harness 201 takes an age to do the queue test, but it does eventually pass. 202 * Mentioned the problems that occur when perl is built with sfio. 203 2040.13 15th January 2001 205 * Added support to allow this module to build with Berkeley DB 3.2 206 * Updated dbinfo to support Berkeley DB 3.1 & 3.2 file format 207 changes. 208 * Documented the Solaris 2.7 core dump problem in README. 209 * Tidied up the test harness to fix a problem on Solaris where the 210 "fred" directory wasn't being deleted when it should have been. 211 * two calls to "open" clashed with a win32 macro. 212 * size argument for hash_cb is different for Berkeley DB 3.x 213 * Documented the issue of building on Linux. 214 * Added -Server, -CacheSize & -LockDetect options 215 [original patch supplied by Graham Barr] 216 * Added support for set_mutexlocks, c_count, set_q_extentsize, 217 key_range, c_dup 218 * Dropped the "attempted to close a Cursor with an open transaction" 219 error in c_close. The correct behaviour is that the cursor 220 should be closed before committing/aborting the transaction. 221 2220.12 2nd August 2000 223 * Serious bug with get fixed. Spotted by Sleepycat. 224 * Added hints file for Solaris & Irix (courtesy of Albert Chin-A-Young) 225 2260.11 4th June 2000 227 * When built with Berkeley Db 3.x there can be a clash with the close 228 macro. 229 * Typo in the definition of DB_WRITECURSOR 230 * The flags parameter wasn't getting sent to db_cursor 231 * Plugged small memory leak in db_cursor (DESTROY wasn't freeing 232 memory) 233 * Can be built with Berkeley DB 3.1 234 2350.10 8th December 1999 236 * The DESTROY method was missing for BerkeleyDB::Env. This resulted in 237 a memory leak. Fixed. 238 * If opening an environment or database failed, there was a small 239 memory leak. This has been fixed. 240 * A thread-enabled Perl it could core when a database was closed. 241 Problem traced to the strdup function. 242 2430.09 29th November 1999 244 * the queue.t & subdb.t test harnesses were outputting a few 245 spurious warnings. This has been fixed. 246 2470.08 28nd November 1999 248 * More documentation updates 249 * Changed reference to files in /tmp in examples.t 250 * Fixed a typo in softCrash that caused problems when building 251 with a thread-enabled Perl. 252 * BerkeleyDB::Error wasn't initialised properly. 253 * ANSI-ified all the static C functions in BerkeleyDB.xs 254 * Added support for the following DB 3.x features: 255 + The Queue database type 256 + db_remove 257 + subdatabases 258 + db_stat for Hash & Queue 259 2600.07 21st September 1999 261 * Numerous small bug fixes. 262 * Added support for sorting duplicate values DB_DUPSORT. 263 * Added support for DB_GET_BOTH & DB_NEXT_DUP. 264 * Added get_dup (from DB_File). 265 * beefed up the documentation. 266 * Forgot to add the DB_INIT_CDB in BerkeleyDB.pm in previous release. 267 * Merged the DBM Filter code from DB_File into BerkeleyDB. 268 * Fixed a nasty bug where a closed transaction was still used with 269 with dp_put, db_get etc. 270 * Added logic to gracefully close everything whenever a fatal error 271 happens. Previously the plug was just pulled. 272 * It is now a fatal error to explicitly close an environment if there 273 is still an open database; a database when there are open cursors or 274 an open transaction; and a cursor if there is an open transaction. 275 Using object destruction doesn't have this issue, as object 276 references will ensure everything gets closed in the correct order. 277 * The BOOT code now checks that the version of db.h & libdb are the 278 same - this seems to be a common problem on Linux. 279 * MLDBM support added. 280 * Support for the new join cursor added. 281 * Builds with Berkeley DB 3.x 282 * Updated dbinfo for Berkeley DB 3.x file formats. 283 * Deprecated the TxnMgr class. As with Berkeley DB version 3, 284 txn_begin etc are now accessed via the environment object. 285 2860.06 19 December 1998 287 * Minor modifications to get the module to build with DB 2.6.x 288 * Added support for DB 2.6.x's Concurrent Access Method, DB_INIT_CDB. 289 2900.05 9 November 1998 291 * Added a note to README about how to build Berkeley DB 2.x 292 when using HP-UX. 293 * Minor modifications to get the module to build with DB 2.5.x 294 2950.04 19 May 1998 296 * Define DEFSV & SAVE_DEFSV if not already defined. This allows 297 the module to be built with Perl 5.004_04. 298 2990.03 5 May 1998 300 * fixed db_get with DB_SET_RECNO 301 * fixed c_get with DB_SET_RECNO and DB_GET_RECNO 302 * implemented BerkeleyDB::Unknown 303 * implemented BerkeleyDB::Recno, including push, pop etc 304 modified the txn support. 305 3060.02 30 October 1997 307 * renamed module to BerkeleyDB 308 * fixed a few bugs & added more tests 309 3100.01 23 October 1997 311 * first alpha release as BerkDB. 312 313
