1 Revision history for DBM::Deep.
3 0.97 ??? ?? ??:??:?? 2006 Pacific
4 - Reorganization of distribution
5 - Migration to Module::Build with EU::MM backwards compatibility
6 - Test coverage improved to ??%
7 - The following methods have been renamed to reflect their private nature:
8 - init() is now _init()
9 - open() is now _open()
10 - close() is now _close()
12 0.96 Oct 14 09:55:00 2005 Pacific
13 - Fixed build (OS X hidden files killed it)
14 - You can now pass in an optional filehandle to the constructor
16 0.95 Oct 12 13:58:00 2005 Pacific
17 - Added optional autobless flag to preserve and restore blessed hashes
18 - Fixed bug where 0 could not be fetched using get_next_key
19 - Fixed bug where tie() constructor didn't accept a hash ref for args
20 - optimize() now preserves user/group/permissions
21 - Errors are now FATAL (meaning it calls die()), unless you set debug flag
23 0.94 Apr 13 19:00:26 2004 Pacific
24 - Fixed bug reported by John Cardenas (corruption at key level when
25 replace of less data was done on bucket)
27 0.93 Feb 15 19:53:17 2004 Pacific
28 - Fixed optmize() on Win32 where orig file couldn't be overwritten unless
29 filehandle was closed first. This change introduces a potential race
30 condition when using locking and optmize() on Win32, but it can be
31 fixed in the future using a soft copy instead of Perl's rename().
33 0.92 Feb 12 19:10:22 2004 Pacific
34 - Fixed bug where passing a reference to a different DBM::Deep object
35 would still result in an internal reference.
36 - Added export() method for recursively extracting hashes/arrays into
37 standard in-memory Perl structures.
38 - Added import() method for recursively importing existing Perl hash/
40 - Fixed bug where optimize() wouldn't work if base level of DB was
41 an array instead of a hash.
43 0.91 Feb 12 02:30:22 2004 Pacific
44 - Fixed bug with splice() when length of removed section was 0
45 - Updated POD re: circular refs and optimize()
46 - Had to jump version numbers to 0.91 because in previous releases
47 I used only a single digit after the decimal which was confusing
50 0.10 Feb 11 08:58:35 2004 Pacific
51 - Fixed bug where default file mode was CLEARING files (Thanks Rich!)
52 - Added experimental support for circular references
53 - Fixed bugs in shift(), unshift() and splice() where nested objects
54 in array would be recursively re-stored as basic hashes/arrays
55 - Fixed typos in POD docs
57 0.9 Feb 10 03:25:48 2004 Pacific
58 - Added Filters for storing/fetching keys/values
59 - Added hook for supplying own hashing algorithm
60 - FIxed some typos in POD docs, added new sections
62 0.8 Feb 8 02:38:22 2004 Pacific
63 - Renamed to DBM::Deep for CPAN
64 - Added optimize() method for rekindling unused space
65 - Now returning hybrid tie()/OO object from new()
66 - Basic error handling introduced
67 - Added debug mode for printing errors to STDERR
68 - Added TYPE_HASH and TYPE_ARRAY constants for "type" param
69 - Added clone() method for safe copying of objects
70 - Wrote POD documentation
71 - Added set_pack() function for manipulating LONG_SIZE / LONG_PACK
72 - Added aliases for most tied functions for public use
73 - Now setting binmode() on FileHandle for Win32
76 0.7 Jan 4 11:31:50 2003 UTC
78 - Changed file signature to DPDB (not compatible with older versions)
79 - Converted array length to packed long instead of sprintf()ed string
81 0.6 Dec 31 15:12:03 2002 UTC
82 - Some misc optimizations for speed
84 0.5 Oct 18 08:55:29 2002 UTC
85 - support for force_return_next parameter in traverse_index() method for
86 ultra-fast combined key search/removal
88 0.4 Oct 15 20:07:47 2002 UTC
89 - now making sure filehandle is open for all DB calls
91 0.3 Oct 3 19:04:13 2002 UTC
92 - fixed bug that could cause corrupted data when using locking
94 0.2 Aug 6 16:37:32 2002 UTC
95 - Removed base index caching, as it can cause problems when two processes
96 are populating the db at the same time (even with locking)
98 0.1 Jun 3 08:06:26 2002 UTC
