142
143
1441.77 26th April 2001

174
175
1761.74 10th December 2000
177
178 * A "close" call in DB_File.xs needed parenthesised to stop win32 from
179 thinking it was one of its macros.
180
181 * Updated dbinfo to support Berkeley DB 3.1 file format changes.
182
183 * DB_File.pm & the test hasness now use the warnings pragma (when

188
189 * Included Perl core patch 7801 -- Give __getBerkeleyDBInfo the ANSI C
190 treatment.
191

212 * The module will now use XSLoader when it is available. When it
213 isn't it will use DynaLoader.
214
215 * The locking section in DB_File.pm has been discredited. Many thanks
216 to David Harris for spotting the underlying problem, contributing
217 the updates to the documentation and writing DB_File::Lock (available
218 on CPAN).
219
2201.71 7th September 1999

256
257 * Fixed DBM Filter code to work with 5.004
258
259 * A few instances of newSVpvn were used in 1.66. This isn't available in

265
2661.65 6th March 1999

283
2841.62 30th November 1998
285
286 Added hints/dynixptx.pl.
287 Fixed typemap -- 1.61 used PL_na instead of na
288
2891.61 19th November 1998
290
291 Added a note to README about how to build Berkeley DB 2.x when
292 using HP-UX.
293 Minor modifications to get the module to build with DB 2.5.x
294 Fixed a typo in the definition of O_RDONLY, courtesy of Mark Kettenis.
295
2961.60
297 Changed the test to check for full tied array support
298
2991.59
300 Updated the license section.
301
302 Berkeley DB 2.4.10 disallows zero length keys. Tests 32 & 42 in
303 db-btree.t and test 27 in db-hash.t failed because of this change.
304 Those tests have been zapped.
305
306 Added dbinfo to the distribution.
307
3081.58
309 Tied Array support was enhanced in Perl 5.004_57. DB_File now
310 supports PUSH,POP,SHIFT,UNSHIFT & STORESIZE.
311
312 Fixed a problem with the use of sv_setpvn. When the size is
313 specified as 0, it does a strlen on the data. This was ok for DB
314 1.x, but isn't for DB 2.x.
315
3161.57
317 If Perl has been compiled with Threads support,the symbol op will be
318 defined. This clashes with a field name in db.h, so it needs to be
319 #undef'ed before db.h is included.
320
3211.56
322 Documented the Solaris 2.5 mutex bug
323
3241.55
325 Merged 1.16 changes.
326
3271.54
328
329 Fixed a small bug in the test harness when run under win32
330 The emulation of fd when useing DB 2.x was busted.
331
3321.53
333
334 Added DB_RENUMBER to flags for recno.
335
3361.52
337
338 Patch from Nick Ing-Simmons now allows DB_File to build on NT.
339 Merged 1.15 patch.
340
3411.51
342
343 Fixed the test harness so that it doesn't expect DB_File to have
344 been installed by the main Perl build.
345
346
347 Fixed a bug in mapping 1.x O_RDONLY flag to 2.x DB_RDONLY equivalent
348
3491.50
350
351 DB_File can now build with either DB 1.x or 2.x, but not both at
352 the same time.
353
3541.16
355
356 A harmless looking tab was causing Makefile.PL to fail on AIX 3.2.5
357
358 Small fix for the AIX strict C compiler XLC which doesn't like
359 __attribute__ being defined via proto.h and redefined via db.h. Fix
360 courtesy of Jarkko Hietaniemi.
361
3621.15
363
364 Patch from Gisle Aas <[email protected]> to suppress "use of undefined
365 value" warning with db_get and db_seq.
366
367 Patch from Gisle Aas <[email protected]> to make DB_File export only the
368 O_* constants from Fcntl.
369
370 Removed the DESTROY method from the DB_File::HASHINFO module.
371
372 Previously DB_File hard-wired the class name of any object that it
373 created to "DB_File". This makes sub-classing difficult. Now
374 DB_File creats objects in the namespace of the package it has been
375 inherited into.
376
377
3781.14
379
380 Made it illegal to tie an associative array to a RECNO database and
381 an ordinary array to a HASH or BTREE database.
382
3831.13
384
385 Minor changes to DB_FIle.xs and DB_File.pm
386
3871.12
388
389 Documented the incompatibility with version 2 of Berkeley DB.
390
3911.11
392
393 Documented the untie gotcha.
394
3951.10
396
397 Fixed fd method so that it still returns -1 for in-memory files
398 when db 1.86 is used.
399
4001.09
401
402 Minor bug fix in DB_File::HASHINFO, DB_File::RECNOINFO and
403 DB_File::BTREEINFO.
404
405 Changed default mode to 0666.
406
4071.08
408
409 Documented operation of bval.
410
4111.07
412
413 Fixed bug with RECNO, where bval wasn't defaulting to "\n".
414
4151.06
416
417 Minor namespace cleanup: Localized PrintBtree.
418
4191.05
420
421 Made all scripts in the documentation strict and -w clean.
422
423 Added logic to DB_File.xs to allow the module to be built after
424 Perl is installed.
425
4261.04
427
428 Minor documentation changes.
429
430 Fixed a bug in hash_cb. Patches supplied by Dave Hammen,
431 <[email protected]>.
432
433 Fixed a bug with the constructors for DB_File::HASHINFO,
434 DB_File::BTREEINFO and DB_File::RECNOINFO. Also tidied up the
435 constructors to make them -w clean.
436
437 Reworked part of the test harness to be more locale friendly.
438
4391.03
440
441 Documentation update.
442
443 DB_File now imports the constants (O_RDWR, O_CREAT etc.) from Fcntl
444 automatically.
445
446 The standard hash function exists is now supported.
447
448 Modified the behavior of get_dup. When it returns an associative
449 array, the value is the count of the number of matching BTREE
450 values.
451
4521.02
453
454 Merged OS/2 specific code into DB_File.xs
455
456 Removed some redundant code in DB_File.xs.
457
458 Documentation update.
459
460 Allow negative subscripts with RECNO interface.
461
462 Changed the default flags from O_RDWR to O_CREAT|O_RDWR.
463
464 The example code which showed how to lock a database needed a call
465 to sync added. Without it the resultant database file was empty.
466
467 Added get_dup method.
468
4691.01
470
471 Fixed a core dump problem with SunOS.
472
473 The return value from TIEHASH wasn't set to NULL when dbopen
474 returned an error.
475
4761.0
477
478 DB_File has been in use for over a year. To reflect that, the
479 version number has been incremented to 1.0.
480
481 Added complete support for multiple concurrent callbacks.
482
483 Using the push method on an empty list didn't work properly. This
484 has been fixed.
485
4860.3
487
488 Added prototype support for multiple btree compare callbacks.
489
4900.2
491
492 When DB_File is opening a database file it no longer terminates the
493 process if dbopen returned an error. This allows file protection
494 errors to be caught at run time. Thanks to Judith Grass
495 <[email protected]> for spotting the bug.
496
4970.1
498
499 First Release.
