This broke the 86 db-recno test harness. Fixed. 87 88 * merged core patches 16502 & 16540. 89 901.803 1st March 2002 91 92 * Fixed a problem with db-btree.t where it complained about an "our" 93 variable redeclaation. 94 95 * FETCH, STORE & DELETE don't map the flags parameter into the 96 equivalent Berkeley DB function anymore. 97 981.802 6th January 2002 99 100 * The message about some test failing in db-recno.t had the wrong test 101 numbers. Fixed. 102 103 * merged core patch 13942. 104 1051.801 26th November 2001 106 107 * Fixed typo in Makefile.PL 108 109 * Added "clean" attribute to Makefile.PL 110 1111.800 23rd November 2001 112 113 * use pport.h for perl backward compatability code. 114 115 * use new ExtUtils::Constant module to generate XS constants. 116 117 * upgrade Makefile.PL upgrade/downgrade code to toggle "our" with 118 "use vars" 119 1201.79 22nd October 2001 121 122 * Added a "local $SIG{__DIE__}" inside the eval that checks for 123 the presence of XSLoader s suggested by Andrew Hryckowin. 124 125 * merged core patch 12277. 126 127 * Changed NEXTKEY to not initialise the input key. It isn't used anyway. 128 1291.79 22nd October 2001 130 131 * Fixed test harness for cygwin 132 1331.78 30th July 2001 134 135 * the test in Makefile.PL for AIX used -plthreads. Should have been 136 -lpthreads 137 138 * merged Core patches 139 10372, 10335, 10372, 10534, 10549, 10643, 11051, 11194, 11432 140 141 * added documentation patch regarding duplicate keys from Andrew Johnson 142 143 1441.77 26th April 2001 145 146 * AIX is reported to need -lpthreads, so Makefile.PL now checks for 147 AIX and adds it to the link options. 148 149 * Minor documentation updates. 150 151 * Merged Core patch 9176 152 153 * Added a patch from Edward Avis that adds support for splice with 154 recno databases. 155 156 * Modified Makefile.PL to only enable the warnings pragma if using perl 157 5.6.1 or better. 158 1591.76 15th January 2001 160 161 * Added instructions for using LD_PRELOAD to get Berkeley DB 2.x to work 162 with DB_File on Linux. Thanks to Norbert Bollow for sending details of 163 this approach. 164 165 1661.75 17th December 2000 167 168 * Fixed perl core patch 7703 169 170 * Added suppport to allow DB_File to be built with Berkeley DB 3.2 -- 171 btree_compare, btree_prefix and hash_cb needed to be changed. 172 173 * Updated dbinfo to support Berkeley DB 3.2 file format changes. 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 184 available). 185 186 * Included Perl core patch 7703 -- size argument for hash_cb is different 187 for Berkeley DB 3.x 188 189 * Included Perl core patch 7801 -- Give __getBerkeleyDBInfo the ANSI C 190 treatment. 191 192 * @a = () produced the warning 'Argument "" isn't numeric in entersub' 193 This has been fixed. Thanks to Edward Avis for spotting this bug. 194 195 * Added note about building under Linux. Included patches. 196 197 * Included Perl core patch 8068 -- fix for bug 20001013.009 198 When run with warnings enabled "$hash{XX} = undef " produced an 199 "Uninitialized value" warning. This has been fixed. 200 2011.73 31st May 2000 202 203 * Added support in version.c for building with threaded Perl. 204 205 * Berkeley DB 3.1 has reenabled support for null keys. The test 206 harness has been updated to reflect this. 207 2081.72 16th January 2000 209 210 * Added hints/sco.pl 211 212 * 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 221 222 * Fixed a bug that prevented 1.70 from compiling under win32 223 224 * Updated to support Berkeley DB 3.x 225 226 * Updated dbinfo for Berkeley DB 3.x file formats. 227 2281.70 4th August 1999 229 230 * Initialise $DB_File::db_ver and $DB_File::db_version with 231 GV_ADD|GV_ADDMULT -- bug spotted by Nick Ing-Simmons. 232 233 * Added a BOOT check to test for equivalent versions of db.h & 234 libdb.a/so. 235 2361.69 3rd August 1999 237 238 * fixed a bug in push -- DB_APPEND wasn't working properly. 239 240 * Fixed the R_SETCURSOR bug introduced in 1.68 241 242 * Added a new Perl variable $DB_File::db_ver 243 2441.68 22nd July 1999 245 246 * Merged changes from 5.005_58 247 248 * Fixed a bug in R_IBEFORE & R_IAFTER procesing in Berkeley DB 249 2 databases. 250 251 * Added some of the examples in the POD into the test harness. 252 2531.67 6th June 1999 254 255 * Added DBM Filter documentation to DB_File.pm 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 260 Perl 5.004_04 or earlier. Replaced with newSVpv. 261 2621.66 15th March 1999 263 264 * Added DBM Filter code 265 2661.65 6th March 1999 267 268 * Fixed a bug in the recno PUSH logic. 269 * The BOOT version check now needs 2.3.4 when using Berkeley DB version 2 270 2711.64 21st February 1999 272 273 * Tidied the 1.x to 2.x flag mapping code. 274 * Added a patch from Mark Kettenis <kettenis@wins.uva.nl> to fix a flag 275 mapping problem with O_RDONLY on the Hurd 276 * Updated the message that db-recno.t prints when tests 51, 53 or 55 fail. 277 2781.63 19th December 1998 279 280 * Fix to allow DB 2.6.x to build with DB_File 281 * Documentation updated to use push,pop etc in the RECNO example & 282 to include the find_dup & del_dup methods. 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 <gisle@aas.no> to suppress "use of undefined 365 value" warning with db_get and db_seq. 366 367 Patch from Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no> 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 <hammen@gothamcity.jsc.nasa.govt>. 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 <grass@cybercash.com> for spotting the bug. 496 4970.1 498 499 First Release. 500 501
