Revision history for Class-AutoDB
1.27_02 2013-09-29
No functional changes
Updated depdendencies
Fixed boilerplate & pod tests
Added 000.reqs test to check existence MySQL database, adapted from Babel
Removed Developer tests from distro. Haven't been tested in a while!
1.27_01 2013-07-28
Bug fixes
- connect was using the wrong property name when setting 'socket' in
dsn. was using 'sock'; should be 'mysql_socket'
Changes to tests
- regression test for socket bug
- updated 002.pod to strip development sub-version number
- imported 003.manifest from Babel
1.26 2012-11-29
Changes to tests
- fixed the change made in 1.25. $^V, the variable containing Perl's
version, works differently in different versions. in perls > 5.10 it
returns a regular string, while in earlier versions it returns a
v-string. naturally, the code to handle these cases is different...
1.25 2012-11-28
Changes to tests
- tests of DOES method now check for Perl version >= 5.10.1, since that
is when DOES was added to UNIVERSAL. thanks to the CPAN smoke testers
for finding this problem!
1.24 2012-10-28
Added test for version number in POD
Removed redundant 'dist_version_from' param from Build.PL
Bug fixes
- when invoking a UNIVERSAL method (isa, can, DOES, VERSION) on Oid or
OidDelelted, the method was not redispatched to the real class
1.23 2012-08-02
Changed code and tests to correct deprecated use of qw(...) as parentheses
Changes to Build.PL
- added Module::Build to configure_requires
- added dist_version_from
1.22 2011-01-07
Bug fixes
- when 'using' a class at runtime, schema changes were not happening;
the common failure case was a class loaded at runtime that defines
a collection
Changes to Build.PL
- added explicit test for DBD::mysql based on code in Data::Babel's
Build.PL and removed from prereqs. it doesn't work to put in prereqs
because if not present, install tries to install 'DBD' which does not
exist
Changes to tests
- declare.030.pct_autodb.t was not setting 'create' flag in call to
'new'. longstanding bug that remained undetected because previous
tests left the database in a state that didn't bother it
1.21 2011-01-05
Bug fixes;
- when deleting objects whose classes were not yet 'used', the deletes
were not being applied to the objects' collections; this was because
the class-to-collection information was set in the registry
1.20 2010-09-20
New features
- 'del' method to delete objects
- queries ('get', 'find', 'count') with no arguments retrieve/count all
objects. makes it possible to retrieve objects without defining
collections
- raw SQL can be used in queries ('get', 'find', 'count')
Bug fixes
- drop views everywhere that we drop tables, so views will not get in
way when we create tables. (arises because DROP TABLE only drops
tables, not views)
Many small cleanups in code and tests
1.19_02 2010-09-17
Bug fixes
- added 'numify' to overloads in Oid and OidDeleted. arises because
Perls >= 5.10 use stringify to autogenerate numify
(Thanks to CPAN testers for finding this!)
- found a few more places where I drop tables and now have to also
drop views
Changes to tests
- added code to emit MySQL version in 000.code_exists test
- check MySQL version in 150.dropview test and skip if version too
old to support views
- added tests for overloaded numify
1.11 2010-03-08
Changes to build and test process only.
Changes to Build.PL:
- added DBD, DBI::mysql, plus some others to configure_requires. thanks
to CPAN testers for finding this problem
Changes in tests:
- more screwing around with MySQL's max_allowed_packet variable. this
limits the size of the biggest object that can be stored. I have come
to learn that setting this variable has no effect, even though the
MySQL documentation claims that it is a session variable. recent
versions of the docs correct this misconception...
1.10 2010-03-01
Brings CPAN version up-to-date with version used internally at ISB
New features:
- 'put' method added to AutoDB (in Class::AutoDB::Database) to store
specific objects. this is a step towards cleaning up namespace of
user-objects
- 'oid' method added to AutoDB. this is a step towards cleaning up
namespace of user-objects
- %AUTODB=0 works
- %AUTODB with HASH form of keys: type defaults to string, as it does
with all other forms
- 'port' and 'timeout' added to connection parameters
Cleanup:
- connection management (connect, reconnect, etc) made consistent
- 'renew' made consistent with 'new'
Bug fixes:
- in perl 5.10, '==' comparison in AutoDB::put was forcing stringify when
applied to Oids. fixed by moving '==' after check for Oid.
- 'exists' (in Class::AutoDB::Database) now checks for empty
_AutoDB table; this may address common problem where AutoDB
appears to exists, but registry does not exist
- fixed ambiguity of ‘get’ (AutoClass::get was masking AutoDB::get)
by changing order of base classes; this is short term workaround --
really need to clean up AutoClass namespace!
- 'store' (in Class::AutoDB::Serialize) was using wrong regex when
processing transients: /$key/ insead of /^$key$/. This caused keys to
be ignored if they matched any substring of a transient.
Scary this wasn't caught earlier!!
- 'count' was throwing exception when count was 0. Scary this wasn't
caught earlier!!
- 'put' was storing undef in base table when value of key was 0. Does
not impact the actual objects returned by 'get' (since objects stored
in _AutoDB), but breaks queries selecting on 0. Scary this wasn't
caught earlier!!
- queries on lists with duplicate values were returning duplicate
objects
- queries with multiple terms addressing the same list key were ignoring
all but one of the terms
- queries with multiple terms addressing the same scalar key now
detected as illegal
- objects with incorrectly typed search keys now behave predictably
- queries with undef values now do 'IS NULL'
- keys declared with abbreviated types were not always being seen as
equivalent (eg, 'int' vs. 'integer'
- programmatic definition of collections now works
Changes to Build process
- added Tie::ToObject to prereqs
- changes to Build.PL for better handling of MySQL dependency. not sure
either of these are necessary or even help...
- added DBD::mysql to prereqs
- put DBI->connect inside eval to catch error when DBD::mysql not
installed
- removed Dumper.o from distro tarball
Bug fixes in tests:
- changed 'note' to 'diag' in several tests to get more information
from testers
- fixed simple coding error in autodb.122.bad_freeze.t ('dbh' to '$dbh')
- return aggregate in t::Build::run_tap_harness (overrides method from
Module::Build) as new versions of Module::Build require this
- in autodb.010.putget.t, now invoke perl via full (secure) path rather
than just 'perl'
- in graph.020 tests, skip tests unless max_allowed_packet big enough
(long term solution added to release 1.20 plan)
- in bad_freeze tests, skip tests unless max_allowed_packet big enough
(long term solution added to release 1.20 plan)
0.1 06-01-04
- in Oid, added code to 'use' classes when object is fetched
if not already 'used'. caution: this only works if people
follow the Perl convention of placing module Foo in file
Foo.pm. Else, there's no easy way to translate a classname
into a string that can be 'used'
- in Oid, added overload for stringification and a few related
op. stringify fetches object, so serialized objects will
work as expected when used as hash key
- in Object, added overload declaration for objects after
they've been fetched. don't know why this is needed, but it
didn't work without it
- in Serialize, made -transients work
- changed syntax of %AUTODB declaration to allow multiple
collections to be specified with different keys. backwards
compatible. affects code in Collection, Oid, Registration,
Registry, RegistryVersion
0.092 05-10-25
data source might be wrong (evil and silent bug)
- added SQL limit capability to AutoDB, users can now pass a
_limit_ => n, where n=max number of rows to fetch, in find
args
0.091 05-06-08
- Added option to turn off automatic indexing
The following defects have been addressed (see also bug tracker at
www.sf.net project: isbiology):
1216645 added "pass" synonym per feature request
0.09 2004/20/10
- optimized patch courtesy of Jenda of perl monks
- find now handles multiple collections in query
0.08 Wed Sep 1 14:09:29 PDT 2004
The following defects have been addressed (see also bug tracker at
www.sf.net project: isbiology):
1016244 no persistence on (enclosed) test
1016246 reformat of list sorage
1019348 not all objects stored
1016242 create flag not working for registry

0.07 Tue Aug 17 10:52:27 PDT 2004
- require 5.8.2 added for perl version, manifest rebuilt to include patch files
0.06 Mon Aug 16 14:24:43 PDT 2004
- major refactor of persistence handling. store() method added to store
objects explicitly (implicit storage still occurs when an object is
destroyed. Implicitly destroyed objects will not overwrite explicitly
destroyed ones). Mosts tests have been re-written and new ones have been
added to test this storage handling.

- refactor of reconstitution code
0.04 Mon Feb 23 11:15:53 PST 2004
