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.
