95967a5e 30.99_01 ??? ?? ??;??:?? 2006 Pacific
d2aefba0 4 - Added explicit dependency on Perl 5.6.0
e06824f8 5 - Digest::MD5 requires 5.6.0
6 - Sub::Uplevel (dep of Test::Exception) requires 5.6.0
95967a5e 7 - Removed error()/clear_error()
d2aefba0 8 - All error-handling is done with die()
e06824f8 9 - Broke out DBM::Deep's code into DBM::Deep::Engine
d2aefba0 10 - Tied variables can no longer be assigned to a DBM::Deep object.
11 - This includes cross-file assignments.
12 - Autovivification now works
13 - This is a consequence of the fact that all assignments are tied.
14 - set_pack() and set_digest() have been removed.
15 - Instead, you will now pass the appropriate values into new()
16 - A pack_size parameter has been added to make 64-bit files easier

9be51a89 180.98 Feb 28 11:00:00 2006 Pacific
a8bd842e 19 - Added in patch by David Cantrell to allow use of DATA filehandle
bcbe5355 20 - Fixed bug where attempting to export() a structure that used autobless would die
e3cb84dc 21 - Fixed arraytest slowness by localizing $SIG{__DIE__} to prevent Test::Builder's
22 $SIG{__DIE__} from being called. (q.v. http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/eval.html)
4d35d856 23 - More methods have been made private:
24 - root() is now _root()
25 - base_offset() is now _base_offset()
26 - fh() is now _fh()
27 - type() is now _type()
28 - precalc_sizes() is now _precalc_sizes()

6d049f2c 300.97 Feb 24 10:00:00 2006 Pacific
e096f245 31 - Reorganization of distribution to a more standard layout
ffed8b01 32 - Migration to Module::Build with EU::MM backwards compatibility
e096f245 33 - Migration of all tests to use Test::More and Test::Exception
34 - Added Devel::Cover report to DBM::Deep POD
35 - Test coverage improved to 89.6% (and climbing)
8b957036 36 - The following methods have been renamed to reflect their private nature:
37 - init() is now _init()
14a3acb6 38 - open() is now _open()
0207d648 39 - close() is now _close()
261d1296 40 - load_tag() is now _load_tag()
41 - index_lookup() is now _index_lookup()
42 - add_bucket() is now _add_bucket()
43 - get_bucket_value() is now _get_bucket_value()
44 - delete_bucket() is now _delete_bucket()
45 - bucket_exists() is now _bucket_exists()
46 - find_bucket_list() is now _find_bucket_list()
47 - traverse_index() is now _traverse_index()
48 - get_next_key() is now _get_next_key()
49 - copy_node() is now _copy_node()
50 - throw_error() is now _throw_error()
217fef02 51 - The various tied classes have been broken out. This means that testing
52 "ref( $obj ) eq 'DBM::Deep'" will now fail. The correct test is
53 "eval { $obj->isa( 'DBM::Deep' ) }".
54 - The various methods like push and delete now have the same return values as
55 the standard builtins.
9d085683 56 - TIEARRAY and TIEHASH now check their parameters more thoroughly
e096f245 57 - Negative indices for arrays works as expected, including throwing the appropriate
58 errors.
26138c00 59 - RT #16877 is fixed (DBM::Deep broken with Perl 5.9.3+).
60 - RT #14893 is fixed (tie() and new() use different parameter lists).
61 - A bug with optimize and threading is fixed.
62 - autobless has received some attention, resulting in a number of bugs fixed.
90f93b43 63 - Removed mode option as it just caused confusion.
3ea61317 64 - Removed volatile option as it is pretty useless (use locking instead)
65 - Locking now implicitly enables autoflush

670.96 Oct 14 09:55:00 2005 Pacific
68 - Fixed build (OS X hidden files killed it)
69 - You can now pass in an optional filehandle to the constructor
70
710.95 Oct 12 13:58:00 2005 Pacific
72 - Added optional autobless flag to preserve and restore blessed hashes
73 - Fixed bug where 0 could not be fetched using get_next_key
74 - Fixed bug where tie() constructor didn't accept a hash ref for args
75 - optimize() now preserves user/group/permissions
76 - Errors are now FATAL (meaning it calls die()), unless you set debug flag
77
780.94 Apr 13 19:00:26 2004 Pacific
79 - Fixed bug reported by John Cardenas (corruption at key level when
80 replace of less data was done on bucket)
81
820.93 Feb 15 19:53:17 2004 Pacific
83 - Fixed optmize() on Win32 where orig file couldn't be overwritten unless
84 filehandle was closed first. This change introduces a potential race
85 condition when using locking and optmize() on Win32, but it can be
86 fixed in the future using a soft copy instead of Perl's rename().
87
880.92 Feb 12 19:10:22 2004 Pacific
89 - Fixed bug where passing a reference to a different DBM::Deep object
90 would still result in an internal reference.
91 - Added export() method for recursively extracting hashes/arrays into
92 standard in-memory Perl structures.
93 - Added import() method for recursively importing existing Perl hash/
94 array structures
95 - Fixed bug where optimize() wouldn't work if base level of DB was
96 an array instead of a hash.
97
980.91 Feb 12 02:30:22 2004 Pacific
99 - Fixed bug with splice() when length of removed section was 0
100 - Updated POD re: circular refs and optimize()
101 - Had to jump version numbers to 0.91 because in previous releases
102 I used only a single digit after the decimal which was confusing
103 the CPAN indexer.
104
1050.10 Feb 11 08:58:35 2004 Pacific
106 - Fixed bug where default file mode was CLEARING files (Thanks Rich!)
107 - Added experimental support for circular references
108 - Fixed bugs in shift(), unshift() and splice() where nested objects
109 in array would be recursively re-stored as basic hashes/arrays
110 - Fixed typos in POD docs
111
1120.9 Feb 10 03:25:48 2004 Pacific
113 - Added Filters for storing/fetching keys/values
114 - Added hook for supplying own hashing algorithm
115 - FIxed some typos in POD docs, added new sections
116
1170.8 Feb 8 02:38:22 2004 Pacific
118 - Renamed to DBM::Deep for CPAN
119 - Added optimize() method for rekindling unused space
120 - Now returning hybrid tie()/OO object from new()
121 - Basic error handling introduced
122 - Added debug mode for printing errors to STDERR
123 - Added TYPE_HASH and TYPE_ARRAY constants for "type" param
124 - Added clone() method for safe copying of objects
125 - Wrote POD documentation
126 - Added set_pack() function for manipulating LONG_SIZE / LONG_PACK
127 - Added aliases for most tied functions for public use
128 - Now setting binmode() on FileHandle for Win32
129 - Added 45 unit tests
130
1310.7 Jan 4 11:31:50 2003 UTC
132 - Renamed to DeepDB
133 - Changed file signature to DPDB (not compatible with older versions)
134 - Converted array length to packed long instead of sprintf()ed string
135
1360.6 Dec 31 15:12:03 2002 UTC
137 - Some misc optimizations for speed
138
1390.5 Oct 18 08:55:29 2002 UTC
140 - support for force_return_next parameter in traverse_index() method for
141 ultra-fast combined key search/removal
142
1430.4 Oct 15 20:07:47 2002 UTC
144 - now making sure filehandle is open for all DB calls
145
1460.3 Oct 3 19:04:13 2002 UTC
147 - fixed bug that could cause corrupted data when using locking
148
1490.2 Aug 6 16:37:32 2002 UTC
150 - Removed base index caching, as it can cause problems when two processes
151 are populating the db at the same time (even with locking)
152
1530.1 Jun 3 08:06:26 2002 UTC
154 - initial release
