100.99_01 Apr 27 18:00:00 2006 Pacific
d2aefba0 11 - Added explicit dependency on Perl 5.6.0
e06824f8 12 - Digest::MD5 requires 5.6.0
13 - Sub::Uplevel (dep of Test::Exception) requires 5.6.0
95967a5e 14 - Removed error()/clear_error()
d2aefba0 15 - All error-handling is done with die()
e06824f8 16 - Broke out DBM::Deep's code into DBM::Deep::Engine
d2aefba0 17 - Tied variables can no longer be assigned to a DBM::Deep object.
18 - This includes cross-file assignments.
19 - Autovivification now works
20 - This is a consequence of the fact that all assignments are tied.
21 - set_pack() and set_digest() have been removed.
22 - Instead, you will now pass the appropriate values into new()
23 - A pack_size parameter has been added to make 64-bit files easier
c8602313 24 - Transactions now work
95967a5e 25
a8fdabda 260.983 Apr 10 20:00:00 2006 Pacific
27 - Added patch inspired by Jeff Janes (Thanks!)
28 - Autovivification now works correctly
29 - The following now works correctly
30 my %hash = ( a => 1 );
31 $db->{hash} = \%hash;
32 $hash{b} = 2;
33 cmp_ok( $db->{hash}{b}, '==', 2 );
34 - (RT#18530) - DBM::Deep now plays nicely with -l
35
360.982 Mar 08 11:00:00 2006 Pacific
37 - Fixed smoketests that were failing on Win32
38 - Added restriction for Perl 5.6.0 or higher.
39 - Digest::MD5 and Sub::Uplevel (dep of Test::Exception) require 5.6+
40

43
9be51a89 440.98 Feb 28 11:00:00 2006 Pacific
a8bd842e 45 - Added in patch by David Cantrell to allow use of DATA filehandle
bcbe5355 46 - Fixed bug where attempting to export() a structure that used autobless would die
e3cb84dc 47 - Fixed arraytest slowness by localizing $SIG{__DIE__} to prevent Test::Builder's
48 $SIG{__DIE__} from being called. (q.v. http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/eval.html)
4d35d856 49 - More methods have been made private:
50 - root() is now _root()
51 - base_offset() is now _base_offset()
52 - fh() is now _fh()
53 - type() is now _type()
54 - precalc_sizes() is now _precalc_sizes()
e3cb84dc 55
6d049f2c 560.97 Feb 24 10:00:00 2006 Pacific
e096f245 57 - Reorganization of distribution to a more standard layout
ffed8b01 58 - Migration to Module::Build with EU::MM backwards compatibility
e096f245 59 - Migration of all tests to use Test::More and Test::Exception
60 - Added Devel::Cover report to DBM::Deep POD
61 - Test coverage improved to 89.6% (and climbing)
8b957036 62 - The following methods have been renamed to reflect their private nature:
63 - init() is now _init()
14a3acb6 64 - open() is now _open()
0207d648 65 - close() is now _close()
261d1296 66 - load_tag() is now _load_tag()
67 - index_lookup() is now _index_lookup()
68 - add_bucket() is now _add_bucket()
69 - get_bucket_value() is now _get_bucket_value()
70 - delete_bucket() is now _delete_bucket()
71 - bucket_exists() is now _bucket_exists()
72 - find_bucket_list() is now _find_bucket_list()
73 - traverse_index() is now _traverse_index()
74 - get_next_key() is now _get_next_key()
75 - copy_node() is now _copy_node()
76 - throw_error() is now _throw_error()
217fef02 77 - The various tied classes have been broken out. This means that testing
78 "ref( $obj ) eq 'DBM::Deep'" will now fail. The correct test is
79 "eval { $obj->isa( 'DBM::Deep' ) }".
80 - The various methods like push and delete now have the same return values as
81 the standard builtins.
9d085683 82 - TIEARRAY and TIEHASH now check their parameters more thoroughly
e096f245 83 - Negative indices for arrays works as expected, including throwing the appropriate
84 errors.
26138c00 85 - RT #16877 is fixed (DBM::Deep broken with Perl 5.9.3+).
86 - RT #14893 is fixed (tie() and new() use different parameter lists).
87 - A bug with optimize and threading is fixed.
88 - autobless has received some attention, resulting in a number of bugs fixed.
90f93b43 89 - Removed mode option as it just caused confusion.
3ea61317 90 - Removed volatile option as it is pretty useless (use locking instead)
91 - Locking now implicitly enables autoflush
ffed8b01 92
930.96 Oct 14 09:55:00 2005 Pacific
94 - Fixed build (OS X hidden files killed it)
95 - You can now pass in an optional filehandle to the constructor
96
970.95 Oct 12 13:58:00 2005 Pacific
98 - Added optional autobless flag to preserve and restore blessed hashes
99 - Fixed bug where 0 could not be fetched using get_next_key
100 - Fixed bug where tie() constructor didn't accept a hash ref for args
101 - optimize() now preserves user/group/permissions
102 - Errors are now FATAL (meaning it calls die()), unless you set debug flag
103
1040.94 Apr 13 19:00:26 2004 Pacific
105 - Fixed bug reported by John Cardenas (corruption at key level when
106 replace of less data was done on bucket)
107
1080.93 Feb 15 19:53:17 2004 Pacific
109 - Fixed optmize() on Win32 where orig file couldn't be overwritten unless
110 filehandle was closed first. This change introduces a potential race
111 condition when using locking and optmize() on Win32, but it can be
112 fixed in the future using a soft copy instead of Perl's rename().
113
1140.92 Feb 12 19:10:22 2004 Pacific
115 - Fixed bug where passing a reference to a different DBM::Deep object
116 would still result in an internal reference.
117 - Added export() method for recursively extracting hashes/arrays into
118 standard in-memory Perl structures.
119 - Added import() method for recursively importing existing Perl hash/
120 array structures
121 - Fixed bug where optimize() wouldn't work if base level of DB was
122 an array instead of a hash.
123
1240.91 Feb 12 02:30:22 2004 Pacific
125 - Fixed bug with splice() when length of removed section was 0
126 - Updated POD re: circular refs and optimize()
127 - Had to jump version numbers to 0.91 because in previous releases
128 I used only a single digit after the decimal which was confusing
129 the CPAN indexer.
130
1310.10 Feb 11 08:58:35 2004 Pacific
132 - Fixed bug where default file mode was CLEARING files (Thanks Rich!)
133 - Added experimental support for circular references
134 - Fixed bugs in shift(), unshift() and splice() where nested objects
135 in array would be recursively re-stored as basic hashes/arrays
136 - Fixed typos in POD docs
137
1380.9 Feb 10 03:25:48 2004 Pacific
139 - Added Filters for storing/fetching keys/values
140 - Added hook for supplying own hashing algorithm
141 - FIxed some typos in POD docs, added new sections
142
1430.8 Feb 8 02:38:22 2004 Pacific
144 - Renamed to DBM::Deep for CPAN
145 - Added optimize() method for rekindling unused space
146 - Now returning hybrid tie()/OO object from new()
147 - Basic error handling introduced
148 - Added debug mode for printing errors to STDERR
149 - Added TYPE_HASH and TYPE_ARRAY constants for "type" param
150 - Added clone() method for safe copying of objects
151 - Wrote POD documentation
152 - Added set_pack() function for manipulating LONG_SIZE / LONG_PACK
153 - Added aliases for most tied functions for public use
154 - Now setting binmode() on FileHandle for Win32
155 - Added 45 unit tests
156
1570.7 Jan 4 11:31:50 2003 UTC
158 - Renamed to DeepDB
159 - Changed file signature to DPDB (not compatible with older versions)
160 - Converted array length to packed long instead of sprintf()ed string
161
1620.6 Dec 31 15:12:03 2002 UTC
163 - Some misc optimizations for speed
164
1650.5 Oct 18 08:55:29 2002 UTC
166 - support for force_return_next parameter in traverse_index() method for
167 ultra-fast combined key search/removal
168
1690.4 Oct 15 20:07:47 2002 UTC
170 - now making sure filehandle is open for all DB calls
171
1720.3 Oct 3 19:04:13 2002 UTC
173 - fixed bug that could cause corrupted data when using locking
174
1750.2 Aug 6 16:37:32 2002 UTC
176 - Removed base index caching, as it can cause problems when two processes
177 are populating the db at the same time (even with locking)
178
1790.1 Jun 3 08:06:26 2002 UTC
180 - initial release
