1 | Revision history for DBM::Deep. |
2 | |
7447c77c |
3 | 1.0000 Feb 26 22:30:00 2007 EDT |
811224a0 |
4 | - THIS VERSION IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH FILES FROM ALL OTHER PRIOR VERSIONS. |
5 | - To aid in this form of upgrades, DBM::Deep now checks the file format |
6 | version to make sure that it knows how to read it. |
7447c77c |
7 | - db_upgrade.pl was added to utils/. This will -NOT- install onto |
8 | your system. This is deliberate. |
9 | - db_upgrade.pl will not handle developer release file formats. This |
10 | is due to the fact that all developer releases in preparation for a |
11 | given release share the same file version, even though the file |
12 | format may change. This is deliberate. |
13 | - Importing no longer takes place within a transaction |
811224a0 |
14 | - The following parameters were added: |
15 | - data_sector_size - this determines the default size of a data sector. |
7447c77c |
16 | - Correctly handle opening readonly files |
811224a0 |

18 | 0.99_04 Jan 24 22:30:00 2007 EDT |
19 | - Added the missing lib/DBM/Deep.pod file to the MANIFEST |
20 | - Fixed a poorly-designed test that was failing depending on what Clone::Any |
811224a0 |
21 | was using. |
0ee72d65 |
22 | - All "use 5.6.0;" lines are now "use 5.006_000;" to avoid warnings about |
811224a0 |
23 | unsupported vstrings in 5.9.x |

26 | - THIS VERSION IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH FILES FROM ALL OTHER PRIOR VERSIONS. |
27 | - The fileformat changed completely. I will be writing a converter, but |
28 | it's not there right now. Do NOT expect that this module will |
29 | correctly detect older versions and handle them sanely. Sanity will be |
30 | there for 1.00, but we're not there yet, are we? |
a8fdabda |
31 | - Converted to use FileHandle::Fmode to handle filehandle status checks |
13ff93d5 |
32 | - Fixed bug with deleting already-deleted items on Win32 (reported by Nigel Sandever) |
7645a22a |
33 | - The guts of how transactions work has been rewritten to better handle |
34 | some edgecases. This required a complete rewrite of the engine. |
35 | - Freespace management is now in place. It's not perfect, but it's there. |
36 | - The rewrite of the engine required a rewrite of how first_key/next_key |
37 | was implemented. This should result in significant speed improvements. |
38 | - Self-reference has been removed. This means you cannot do: |
39 | $db->{foo} = { x => 'y' }; |
40 | $db->{bar} = $db->{foo}; |
41 | I hope to be able to return this functionality by 1.00, but I cannot |
42 | promise anything. To do this properly, it requires refcounting in order |
43 | to correctly handle deletions and transactions. Once you move away from |
44 | a simple tree, everything becomes really hard. |

50 | - Added explicit dependency on Perl 5.6.0 |
e06824f8 |
51 | - Digest::MD5 requires 5.6.0 |
52 | - Sub::Uplevel (dep of Test::Exception) requires 5.6.0 |
95967a5e |
53 | - Removed error()/clear_error() |
d2aefba0 |
54 | - All error-handling is done with die() |
e06824f8 |
55 | - Broke out DBM::Deep's code into DBM::Deep::Engine |
d2aefba0 |
56 | - Tied variables can no longer be assigned to a DBM::Deep object. |
57 | - This includes cross-file assignments. |
58 | - Autovivification now works |
59 | - This is a consequence of the fact that all assignments are tied. |
60 | - set_pack() and set_digest() have been removed. |
61 | - Instead, you will now pass the appropriate values into new() |
62 | - A pack_size parameter has been added to make 64-bit files easier |
c8602313 |
63 | - Transactions now work |

65 | 0.983 Apr 10 20:00:00 2006 Pacific |
66 | - Added patch inspired by Jeff Janes (Thanks!) |
67 | - Autovivification now works correctly |
68 | - The following now works correctly |
69 | my %hash = ( a => 1 ); |
70 | $db->{hash} = \%hash; |
71 | $hash{b} = 2; |
72 | cmp_ok( $db->{hash}{b}, '==', 2 ); |
73 | - (RT#18530) - DBM::Deep now plays nicely with -l |
74 | |
75 | 0.982 Mar 08 11:00:00 2006 Pacific |
76 | - Fixed smoketests that were failing on Win32 |
77 | - Added restriction for Perl 5.6.0 or higher. |
78 | - Digest::MD5 and Sub::Uplevel (dep of Test::Exception) require 5.6+ |
79 | |
80 | 0.981 Mar 06 11:00:00 2006 Pacific |
81 | - (RT#17947) - Fixed test that was failing on older Perls |

a8bd842e |
84 | - Added in patch by David Cantrell to allow use of DATA filehandle |
bcbe5355 |
85 | - Fixed bug where attempting to export() a structure that used autobless would die |
e3cb84dc |
86 | - Fixed arraytest slowness by localizing $SIG{__DIE__} to prevent Test::Builder's |
87 | $SIG{__DIE__} from being called. (q.v. http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/eval.html) |
4d35d856 |
88 | - More methods have been made private: |
89 | - root() is now _root() |

ffed8b01 |
97 | - Migration to Module::Build with EU::MM backwards compatibility |
e096f245 |
98 | - Migration of all tests to use Test::More and Test::Exception |
99 | - Added Devel::Cover report to DBM::Deep POD |
100 | - Test coverage improved to 89.6% (and climbing) |
8b957036 |
101 | - The following methods have been renamed to reflect their private nature: |
102 | - init() is now _init() |
14a3acb6 |
103 | - open() is now _open() |
0207d648 |
104 | - close() is now _close() |
261d1296 |
105 | - load_tag() is now _load_tag() |
106 | - index_lookup() is now _index_lookup() |
107 | - add_bucket() is now _add_bucket() |
108 | - get_bucket_value() is now _get_bucket_value() |
109 | - delete_bucket() is now _delete_bucket() |
110 | - bucket_exists() is now _bucket_exists() |
111 | - find_bucket_list() is now _find_bucket_list() |
112 | - traverse_index() is now _traverse_index() |
113 | - get_next_key() is now _get_next_key() |
114 | - copy_node() is now _copy_node() |
115 | - throw_error() is now _throw_error() |
217fef02 |
116 | - The various tied classes have been broken out. This means that testing |
117 | "ref( $obj ) eq 'DBM::Deep'" will now fail. The correct test is |
118 | "eval { $obj->isa( 'DBM::Deep' ) }". |
119 | - The various methods like push and delete now have the same return values as |
120 | the standard builtins. |
9d085683 |
121 | - TIEARRAY and TIEHASH now check their parameters more thoroughly |
e096f245 |
122 | - Negative indices for arrays works as expected, including throwing the appropriate |
123 | errors. |
26138c00 |
124 | - RT #16877 is fixed (DBM::Deep broken with Perl 5.9.3+). |
125 | - RT #14893 is fixed (tie() and new() use different parameter lists). |
126 | - A bug with optimize and threading is fixed. |
127 | - autobless has received some attention, resulting in a number of bugs fixed. |
90f93b43 |
128 | - Removed mode option as it just caused confusion. |
3ea61317 |
129 | - Removed volatile option as it is pretty useless (use locking instead) |
130 | - Locking now implicitly enables autoflush |
ffed8b01 |
131 | |
132 | 0.96 Oct 14 09:55:00 2005 Pacific |
133 | - Fixed build (OS X hidden files killed it) |
134 | - You can now pass in an optional filehandle to the constructor |
135 | |
136 | 0.95 Oct 12 13:58:00 2005 Pacific |
137 | - Added optional autobless flag to preserve and restore blessed hashes |
138 | - Fixed bug where 0 could not be fetched using get_next_key |
139 | - Fixed bug where tie() constructor didn't accept a hash ref for args |
140 | - optimize() now preserves user/group/permissions |
141 | - Errors are now FATAL (meaning it calls die()), unless you set debug flag |
142 | |
143 | 0.94 Apr 13 19:00:26 2004 Pacific |
144 | - Fixed bug reported by John Cardenas (corruption at key level when |
145 | replace of less data was done on bucket) |
146 | |
147 | 0.93 Feb 15 19:53:17 2004 Pacific |
148 | - Fixed optmize() on Win32 where orig file couldn't be overwritten unless |
149 | filehandle was closed first. This change introduces a potential race |
150 | condition when using locking and optmize() on Win32, but it can be |
151 | fixed in the future using a soft copy instead of Perl's rename(). |
152 | |
153 | 0.92 Feb 12 19:10:22 2004 Pacific |
154 | - Fixed bug where passing a reference to a different DBM::Deep object |
155 | would still result in an internal reference. |
156 | - Added export() method for recursively extracting hashes/arrays into |
157 | standard in-memory Perl structures. |
158 | - Added import() method for recursively importing existing Perl hash/ |
159 | array structures |
160 | - Fixed bug where optimize() wouldn't work if base level of DB was |
161 | an array instead of a hash. |
162 | |
163 | 0.91 Feb 12 02:30:22 2004 Pacific |
164 | - Fixed bug with splice() when length of removed section was 0 |
165 | - Updated POD re: circular refs and optimize() |
166 | - Had to jump version numbers to 0.91 because in previous releases |
167 | I used only a single digit after the decimal which was confusing |
168 | the CPAN indexer. |
169 | |
170 | 0.10 Feb 11 08:58:35 2004 Pacific |
171 | - Fixed bug where default file mode was CLEARING files (Thanks Rich!) |
172 | - Added experimental support for circular references |
173 | - Fixed bugs in shift(), unshift() and splice() where nested objects |
174 | in array would be recursively re-stored as basic hashes/arrays |
175 | - Fixed typos in POD docs |
176 | |
177 | 0.9 Feb 10 03:25:48 2004 Pacific |
178 | - Added Filters for storing/fetching keys/values |
179 | - Added hook for supplying own hashing algorithm |
180 | - FIxed some typos in POD docs, added new sections |
181 | |
182 | 0.8 Feb 8 02:38:22 2004 Pacific |
183 | - Renamed to DBM::Deep for CPAN |
184 | - Added optimize() method for rekindling unused space |
185 | - Now returning hybrid tie()/OO object from new() |
186 | - Basic error handling introduced |
187 | - Added debug mode for printing errors to STDERR |
188 | - Added TYPE_HASH and TYPE_ARRAY constants for "type" param |
189 | - Added clone() method for safe copying of objects |
190 | - Wrote POD documentation |
191 | - Added set_pack() function for manipulating LONG_SIZE / LONG_PACK |
192 | - Added aliases for most tied functions for public use |
193 | - Now setting binmode() on FileHandle for Win32 |
194 | - Added 45 unit tests |
195 | |
196 | 0.7 Jan 4 11:31:50 2003 UTC |
197 | - Renamed to DeepDB |
198 | - Changed file signature to DPDB (not compatible with older versions) |
199 | - Converted array length to packed long instead of sprintf()ed string |
200 | |
201 | 0.6 Dec 31 15:12:03 2002 UTC |
202 | - Some misc optimizations for speed |
203 | |
204 | 0.5 Oct 18 08:55:29 2002 UTC |
205 | - support for force_return_next parameter in traverse_index() method for |
206 | ultra-fast combined key search/removal |
207 | |

213 | |
214 | 0.2 Aug 6 16:37:32 2002 UTC |
215 | - Removed base index caching, as it can cause problems when two processes |
216 | are populating the db at the same time (even with locking) |
217 | |
218 | 0.1 Jun 3 08:06:26 2002 UTC |
219 | - initial release |
