1 Revision history for DBM::Deep.
3 0.99_02 Apr 28 05:00:00 2006 Pacific
4 - Added missing file to the MANIFEST
6 0.99_01 Apr 27 18:00:00 2006 Pacific
7 - Added explicit dependency on Perl 5.6.0
8 - Digest::MD5 requires 5.6.0
9 - Sub::Uplevel (dep of Test::Exception) requires 5.6.0
10 - Removed error()/clear_error()
11 - All error-handling is done with die()
12 - Broke out DBM::Deep's code into DBM::Deep::Engine
13 - Tied variables can no longer be assigned to a DBM::Deep object.
14 - This includes cross-file assignments.
15 - Autovivification now works
16 - This is a consequence of the fact that all assignments are tied.
17 - set_pack() and set_digest() have been removed.
18 - Instead, you will now pass the appropriate values into new()
19 - A pack_size parameter has been added to make 64-bit files easier
20 - Transactions now work
22 0.98 Feb 28 11:00:00 2006 Pacific
23 - Added in patch by David Cantrell to allow use of DATA filehandle
24 - Fixed bug where attempting to export() a structure that used autobless would die
25 - Fixed arraytest slowness by localizing $SIG{__DIE__} to prevent Test::Builder's
26 $SIG{__DIE__} from being called. (q.v. http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/eval.html)
27 - More methods have been made private:
28 - root() is now _root()
29 - base_offset() is now _base_offset()
31 - type() is now _type()
32 - precalc_sizes() is now _precalc_sizes()
34 0.97 Feb 24 10:00:00 2006 Pacific
35 - Reorganization of distribution to a more standard layout
36 - Migration to Module::Build with EU::MM backwards compatibility
37 - Migration of all tests to use Test::More and Test::Exception
38 - Added Devel::Cover report to DBM::Deep POD
39 - Test coverage improved to 89.6% (and climbing)
40 - The following methods have been renamed to reflect their private nature:
41 - init() is now _init()
42 - open() is now _open()
43 - close() is now _close()
44 - load_tag() is now _load_tag()
45 - index_lookup() is now _index_lookup()
46 - add_bucket() is now _add_bucket()
47 - get_bucket_value() is now _get_bucket_value()
48 - delete_bucket() is now _delete_bucket()
49 - bucket_exists() is now _bucket_exists()
50 - find_bucket_list() is now _find_bucket_list()
51 - traverse_index() is now _traverse_index()
52 - get_next_key() is now _get_next_key()
53 - copy_node() is now _copy_node()
54 - throw_error() is now _throw_error()
55 - The various tied classes have been broken out. This means that testing
56 "ref( $obj ) eq 'DBM::Deep'" will now fail. The correct test is
57 "eval { $obj->isa( 'DBM::Deep' ) }".
58 - The various methods like push and delete now have the same return values as
59 the standard builtins.
60 - TIEARRAY and TIEHASH now check their parameters more thoroughly
61 - Negative indices for arrays works as expected, including throwing the appropriate
63 - RT #16877 is fixed (DBM::Deep broken with Perl 5.9.3+).
64 - RT #14893 is fixed (tie() and new() use different parameter lists).
65 - A bug with optimize and threading is fixed.
66 - autobless has received some attention, resulting in a number of bugs fixed.
67 - Removed mode option as it just caused confusion.
68 - Removed volatile option as it is pretty useless (use locking instead)
69 - Locking now implicitly enables autoflush
71 0.96 Oct 14 09:55:00 2005 Pacific
72 - Fixed build (OS X hidden files killed it)
73 - You can now pass in an optional filehandle to the constructor
75 0.95 Oct 12 13:58:00 2005 Pacific
76 - Added optional autobless flag to preserve and restore blessed hashes
77 - Fixed bug where 0 could not be fetched using get_next_key
78 - Fixed bug where tie() constructor didn't accept a hash ref for args
79 - optimize() now preserves user/group/permissions
80 - Errors are now FATAL (meaning it calls die()), unless you set debug flag
82 0.94 Apr 13 19:00:26 2004 Pacific
83 - Fixed bug reported by John Cardenas (corruption at key level when
84 replace of less data was done on bucket)
86 0.93 Feb 15 19:53:17 2004 Pacific
87 - Fixed optmize() on Win32 where orig file couldn't be overwritten unless
88 filehandle was closed first. This change introduces a potential race
89 condition when using locking and optmize() on Win32, but it can be
90 fixed in the future using a soft copy instead of Perl's rename().
92 0.92 Feb 12 19:10:22 2004 Pacific
93 - Fixed bug where passing a reference to a different DBM::Deep object
94 would still result in an internal reference.
95 - Added export() method for recursively extracting hashes/arrays into
96 standard in-memory Perl structures.
97 - Added import() method for recursively importing existing Perl hash/
99 - Fixed bug where optimize() wouldn't work if base level of DB was
100 an array instead of a hash.
102 0.91 Feb 12 02:30:22 2004 Pacific
103 - Fixed bug with splice() when length of removed section was 0
104 - Updated POD re: circular refs and optimize()
105 - Had to jump version numbers to 0.91 because in previous releases
106 I used only a single digit after the decimal which was confusing
109 0.10 Feb 11 08:58:35 2004 Pacific
110 - Fixed bug where default file mode was CLEARING files (Thanks Rich!)
111 - Added experimental support for circular references
112 - Fixed bugs in shift(), unshift() and splice() where nested objects
113 in array would be recursively re-stored as basic hashes/arrays
114 - Fixed typos in POD docs
116 0.9 Feb 10 03:25:48 2004 Pacific
117 - Added Filters for storing/fetching keys/values
118 - Added hook for supplying own hashing algorithm
119 - FIxed some typos in POD docs, added new sections
121 0.8 Feb 8 02:38:22 2004 Pacific
122 - Renamed to DBM::Deep for CPAN
123 - Added optimize() method for rekindling unused space
124 - Now returning hybrid tie()/OO object from new()
125 - Basic error handling introduced
126 - Added debug mode for printing errors to STDERR
127 - Added TYPE_HASH and TYPE_ARRAY constants for "type" param
128 - Added clone() method for safe copying of objects
129 - Wrote POD documentation
130 - Added set_pack() function for manipulating LONG_SIZE / LONG_PACK
131 - Added aliases for most tied functions for public use
132 - Now setting binmode() on FileHandle for Win32
133 - Added 45 unit tests
135 0.7 Jan 4 11:31:50 2003 UTC
137 - Changed file signature to DPDB (not compatible with older versions)
138 - Converted array length to packed long instead of sprintf()ed string
140 0.6 Dec 31 15:12:03 2002 UTC
141 - Some misc optimizations for speed
143 0.5 Oct 18 08:55:29 2002 UTC
144 - support for force_return_next parameter in traverse_index() method for
145 ultra-fast combined key search/removal
147 0.4 Oct 15 20:07:47 2002 UTC
148 - now making sure filehandle is open for all DB calls
150 0.3 Oct 3 19:04:13 2002 UTC
151 - fixed bug that could cause corrupted data when using locking
153 0.2 Aug 6 16:37:32 2002 UTC
154 - Removed base index caching, as it can cause problems when two processes
155 are populating the db at the same time (even with locking)
157 0.1 Jun 3 08:06:26 2002 UTC
