1 | Revision history for DBM::Deep. |
2 | |

3 | 0.99_03 Jan ?? 00:00:00 2007 EDT |
4 | - THIS VERSION IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH FILES FROM ALL OTHER PRIOR VERSIONS. |
5 | - The fileformat changed completely. I will be writing a converter, but |
6 | it's not there right now. Do NOT expect that this module will |
7 | correctly detect older versions and handle them sanely. Sanity will be |
8 | there for 1.00, but we're not there yet, are we? |

9 | - Converted to use FileHandle::Fmode to handle filehandle status checks |
13ff93d5 |
10 | - Fixed bug with deleting already-deleted items on Win32 (reported by Nigel Sandever) |
9a63e1f2 |
11 | - The guts of how transactions work has been rewritten to better handle |
12 | some edgecases. This required a complete rewrite of the engine. |
13 | - Freespace management is now in place. It's not perfect, but it's there. |
14 | - The rewrite of the engine required a rewrite of how first_key/next_key |
15 | was implemented. This should result in significant speed improvements. |
16 | - Self-reference has been removed. This means you cannot do: |
17 | $db->{foo} = { x => 'y' }; |
18 | $db->{bar} = $db->{foo}; |
19 | I hope to be able to return this functionality by 1.00, but I cannot |
20 | promise anything. To do this properly, it requires refcounting in order |
21 | to correctly handle deletions and transactions. Once you move away from |
22 | a simple tree, everything becomes really hard. |

28 | - Added explicit dependency on Perl 5.6.0 |
e06824f8 |
29 | - Digest::MD5 requires 5.6.0 |
30 | - Sub::Uplevel (dep of Test::Exception) requires 5.6.0 |
95967a5e |
31 | - Removed error()/clear_error() |
d2aefba0 |
32 | - All error-handling is done with die() |
e06824f8 |
33 | - Broke out DBM::Deep's code into DBM::Deep::Engine |
d2aefba0 |
34 | - Tied variables can no longer be assigned to a DBM::Deep object. |
35 | - This includes cross-file assignments. |
36 | - Autovivification now works |
37 | - This is a consequence of the fact that all assignments are tied. |
38 | - set_pack() and set_digest() have been removed. |
39 | - Instead, you will now pass the appropriate values into new() |
40 | - A pack_size parameter has been added to make 64-bit files easier |
c8602313 |
41 | - Transactions now work |

43 | 0.983 Apr 10 20:00:00 2006 Pacific |
44 | - Added patch inspired by Jeff Janes (Thanks!) |
45 | - Autovivification now works correctly |
46 | - The following now works correctly |
47 | my %hash = ( a => 1 ); |
48 | $db->{hash} = \%hash; |
49 | $hash{b} = 2; |
50 | cmp_ok( $db->{hash}{b}, '==', 2 ); |
51 | - (RT#18530) - DBM::Deep now plays nicely with -l |
52 | |
53 | 0.982 Mar 08 11:00:00 2006 Pacific |
54 | - Fixed smoketests that were failing on Win32 |
55 | - Added restriction for Perl 5.6.0 or higher. |
56 | - Digest::MD5 and Sub::Uplevel (dep of Test::Exception) require 5.6+ |
57 | |
58 | 0.981 Mar 06 11:00:00 2006 Pacific |
59 | - (RT#17947) - Fixed test that was failing on older Perls |

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

ffed8b01 |
75 | - Migration to Module::Build with EU::MM backwards compatibility |
e096f245 |
76 | - Migration of all tests to use Test::More and Test::Exception |
77 | - Added Devel::Cover report to DBM::Deep POD |
78 | - Test coverage improved to 89.6% (and climbing) |
8b957036 |
79 | - The following methods have been renamed to reflect their private nature: |
80 | - init() is now _init() |
14a3acb6 |
81 | - open() is now _open() |
0207d648 |

92 | - copy_node() is now _copy_node() |
93 | - throw_error() is now _throw_error() |
217fef02 |
94 | - The various tied classes have been broken out. This means that testing |
95 | "ref( $obj ) eq 'DBM::Deep'" will now fail. The correct test is |
96 | "eval { $obj->isa( 'DBM::Deep' ) }". |
97 | - The various methods like push and delete now have the same return values as |
98 | the standard builtins. |
9d085683 |
99 | - TIEARRAY and TIEHASH now check their parameters more thoroughly |
e096f245 |
100 | - Negative indices for arrays works as expected, including throwing the appropriate |
101 | errors. |
26138c00 |
102 | - RT #16877 is fixed (DBM::Deep broken with Perl 5.9.3+). |
103 | - RT #14893 is fixed (tie() and new() use different parameter lists). |
104 | - A bug with optimize and threading is fixed. |
105 | - autobless has received some attention, resulting in a number of bugs fixed. |
90f93b43 |
106 | - Removed mode option as it just caused confusion. |
3ea61317 |
107 | - Removed volatile option as it is pretty useless (use locking instead) |
108 | - Locking now implicitly enables autoflush |

110 | 0.96 Oct 14 09:55:00 2005 Pacific |
111 | - Fixed build (OS X hidden files killed it) |
112 | - You can now pass in an optional filehandle to the constructor |
113 | |
114 | 0.95 Oct 12 13:58:00 2005 Pacific |
115 | - Added optional autobless flag to preserve and restore blessed hashes |
116 | - Fixed bug where 0 could not be fetched using get_next_key |
117 | - Fixed bug where tie() constructor didn't accept a hash ref for args |
118 | - optimize() now preserves user/group/permissions |
119 | - Errors are now FATAL (meaning it calls die()), unless you set debug flag |
120 | |
121 | 0.94 Apr 13 19:00:26 2004 Pacific |
122 | - Fixed bug reported by John Cardenas (corruption at key level when |
123 | replace of less data was done on bucket) |
124 | |
125 | 0.93 Feb 15 19:53:17 2004 Pacific |
126 | - Fixed optmize() on Win32 where orig file couldn't be overwritten unless |
127 | filehandle was closed first. This change introduces a potential race |
128 | condition when using locking and optmize() on Win32, but it can be |
129 | fixed in the future using a soft copy instead of Perl's rename(). |
130 | |
131 | 0.92 Feb 12 19:10:22 2004 Pacific |
132 | - Fixed bug where passing a reference to a different DBM::Deep object |
133 | would still result in an internal reference. |
134 | - Added export() method for recursively extracting hashes/arrays into |
135 | standard in-memory Perl structures. |
136 | - Added import() method for recursively importing existing Perl hash/ |
137 | array structures |
138 | - Fixed bug where optimize() wouldn't work if base level of DB was |
139 | an array instead of a hash. |
140 | |
141 | 0.91 Feb 12 02:30:22 2004 Pacific |
142 | - Fixed bug with splice() when length of removed section was 0 |
143 | - Updated POD re: circular refs and optimize() |
144 | - Had to jump version numbers to 0.91 because in previous releases |
145 | I used only a single digit after the decimal which was confusing |
146 | the CPAN indexer. |
147 | |
148 | 0.10 Feb 11 08:58:35 2004 Pacific |
149 | - Fixed bug where default file mode was CLEARING files (Thanks Rich!) |
150 | - Added experimental support for circular references |
151 | - Fixed bugs in shift(), unshift() and splice() where nested objects |
152 | in array would be recursively re-stored as basic hashes/arrays |
153 | - Fixed typos in POD docs |
154 | |
155 | 0.9 Feb 10 03:25:48 2004 Pacific |
156 | - Added Filters for storing/fetching keys/values |
157 | - Added hook for supplying own hashing algorithm |
158 | - FIxed some typos in POD docs, added new sections |
159 | |

161 | - Renamed to DBM::Deep for CPAN |
162 | - Added optimize() method for rekindling unused space |
163 | - Now returning hybrid tie()/OO object from new() |
164 | - Basic error handling introduced |
165 | - Added debug mode for printing errors to STDERR |
166 | - Added TYPE_HASH and TYPE_ARRAY constants for "type" param |
167 | - Added clone() method for safe copying of objects |
168 | - Wrote POD documentation |
169 | - Added set_pack() function for manipulating LONG_SIZE / LONG_PACK |
170 | - Added aliases for most tied functions for public use |
171 | - Now setting binmode() on FileHandle for Win32 |
172 | - Added 45 unit tests |
173 | |
174 | 0.7 Jan 4 11:31:50 2003 UTC |
175 | - Renamed to DeepDB |
176 | - Changed file signature to DPDB (not compatible with older versions) |
177 | - Converted array length to packed long instead of sprintf()ed string |
178 | |
179 | 0.6 Dec 31 15:12:03 2002 UTC |
180 | - Some misc optimizations for speed |
181 | |
182 | 0.5 Oct 18 08:55:29 2002 UTC |
183 | - support for force_return_next parameter in traverse_index() method for |

191 | |
192 | 0.2 Aug 6 16:37:32 2002 UTC |
193 | - Removed base index caching, as it can cause problems when two processes |
194 | are populating the db at the same time (even with locking) |
195 | |
196 | 0.1 Jun 3 08:06:26 2002 UTC |
197 | - initial release |
