Revision history for perl module BDB.
1.5 Sat May 10 22:22:42 CEST 2008
- port to solaris perls configured for old posix
(analysed by Jost Krieger).
- do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
- support AnyEvent::BDB.
1.45 Sun Mar 30 10:01:00 CEST 2008
- work around win32 perl's broken filehandles
(this cannot work in all cases, so watch out).
1.44 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
- encode filenames as utf-8 (for bdb/win32)
or binary (everywhere else).
- patch $! to support stringification of BDB errno values
(utter hack, this should be pluggable :).
- fix prototypes of (void) functions.
1.43 Sun Jan 13 11:52:49 CET 2008
- differentiate between nuked and undef objects, so as to
not throw an exception when destroying closed handles.
1.42 Tue Dec 25 15:22:50 CET 2007
- do not automatically call set_thread_count.
1.41 Sat Dec 22 08:32:41 CET 2007
- add cursor->set_priority.
- minor optimisations and checks.
- port to microsoft pseudo-C again.
1.4 Wed Dec 12 02:20:39 CET 2007
- new globals BDB::VERSION and ..VERSION_STRING.
- add db_upgrade.
- do not die in DESTROY after explicit db_close and similar
operations.
1.3 Fri Dec 7 14:36:25 CET 2007
- db_put and c_put leaked memory like hell (reported by Danny).
- de-IO::AIO-ify the documentation.
- port to microsofts pseudo-C from hell.
- added mutex_set_increment, mutex_set_tas_spins
and mutex_set_max, mutex_set_align.
1.2 Tue Dec 4 11:12:47 CET 2007
- after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
- added missing DB::RDONLY (reported by Danny).
1.1 Sun Sep 16 20:15:55 CEST 2007
- flag and check TXN_DEADLOCK flag for easier transaction
programming (see db_txn_finish).
- new custom db_txn_finish request.
- improved docs.
1.0 Mon Aug 13 14:02:42 CEST 2007
- some updates for db 4.6.
- vastly improved documentation, i.e. there is some now.
- this module has been tested a lot in the Crossfire TRT server.
0.5 Sun Jul 8 16:57:03 CEST 2007
- port to db 4.4.20 (probably any 4.4 version).
- added bdb error constants.
- add set_errfile/set_msgfile/set_verbose.
- shared code between IO::AIO and BDB.
- upgrade to xthread.h from IO::AIO for win32 compatibility.
- port to win32 (there is an unexplainable hang in
db_sequence_get...).
0.1 Mon Mar 5 20:44:18 CET 2007
- cloned from IO::AIO.
