1 Revision history for DBM::Deep.
3 0.99_03 ??? ?? ??:??:?? 2006 Pacific
4 - Converted to use FileHandle::Fmode to handle filehandle status checks
6 0.99_02 Apr 28 05:00:00 2006 Pacific
7 - Added missing file to the MANIFEST
9 0.99_01 Apr 27 18:00:00 2006 Pacific
10 - Added explicit dependency on Perl 5.6.0
11 - Digest::MD5 requires 5.6.0
12 - Sub::Uplevel (dep of Test::Exception) requires 5.6.0
13 - Removed error()/clear_error()
14 - All error-handling is done with die()
15 - Broke out DBM::Deep's code into DBM::Deep::Engine
16 - Tied variables can no longer be assigned to a DBM::Deep object.
17 - This includes cross-file assignments.
18 - Autovivification now works
19 - This is a consequence of the fact that all assignments are tied.
20 - set_pack() and set_digest() have been removed.
21 - Instead, you will now pass the appropriate values into new()
22 - A pack_size parameter has been added to make 64-bit files easier
23 - Transactions now work
25 0.983 Apr 10 20:00:00 2006 Pacific
26 - Added patch inspired by Jeff Janes (Thanks!)
27 - Autovivification now works correctly
28 - The following now works correctly
29 my %hash = ( a => 1 );
32 cmp_ok( $db->{hash}{b}, '==', 2 );
33 - (RT#18530) - DBM::Deep now plays nicely with -l
35 0.982 Mar 08 11:00:00 2006 Pacific
36 - Fixed smoketests that were failing on Win32
37 - Added restriction for Perl 5.6.0 or higher.
38 - Digest::MD5 and Sub::Uplevel (dep of Test::Exception) require 5.6+
40 0.981 Mar 06 11:00:00 2006 Pacific
41 - (RT#17947) - Fixed test that was failing on older Perls
43 0.98 Feb 28 11:00:00 2006 Pacific
44 - Added in patch by David Cantrell to allow use of DATA filehandle
45 - Fixed bug where attempting to export() a structure that used autobless would die
46 - Fixed arraytest slowness by localizing $SIG{__DIE__} to prevent Test::Builder's
47 $SIG{__DIE__} from being called. (q.v. http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/eval.html)
48 - More methods have been made private:
49 - root() is now _root()
50 - base_offset() is now _base_offset()
52 - type() is now _type()
53 - precalc_sizes() is now _precalc_sizes()
55 0.97 Feb 24 10:00:00 2006 Pacific
56 - Reorganization of distribution to a more standard layout
57 - Migration to Module::Build with EU::MM backwards compatibility
58 - Migration of all tests to use Test::More and Test::Exception
59 - Added Devel::Cover report to DBM::Deep POD
60 - Test coverage improved to 89.6% (and climbing)
61 - The following methods have been renamed to reflect their private nature:
62 - init() is now _init()
63 - open() is now _open()
64 - close() is now _close()
65 - load_tag() is now _load_tag()
66 - index_lookup() is now _index_lookup()
67 - add_bucket() is now _add_bucket()
68 - get_bucket_value() is now _get_bucket_value()
69 - delete_bucket() is now _delete_bucket()
70 - bucket_exists() is now _bucket_exists()
71 - find_bucket_list() is now _find_bucket_list()
72 - traverse_index() is now _traverse_index()
73 - get_next_key() is now _get_next_key()
74 - copy_node() is now _copy_node()
75 - throw_error() is now _throw_error()
76 - The various tied classes have been broken out. This means that testing
77 "ref( $obj ) eq 'DBM::Deep'" will now fail. The correct test is
78 "eval { $obj->isa( 'DBM::Deep' ) }".
79 - The various methods like push and delete now have the same return values as
80 the standard builtins.
81 - TIEARRAY and TIEHASH now check their parameters more thoroughly
82 - Negative indices for arrays works as expected, including throwing the appropriate
84 - RT #16877 is fixed (DBM::Deep broken with Perl 5.9.3+).
85 - RT #14893 is fixed (tie() and new() use different parameter lists).
86 - A bug with optimize and threading is fixed.
87 - autobless has received some attention, resulting in a number of bugs fixed.
88 - Removed mode option as it just caused confusion.
89 - Removed volatile option as it is pretty useless (use locking instead)
90 - Locking now implicitly enables autoflush
92 0.96 Oct 14 09:55:00 2005 Pacific
93 - Fixed build (OS X hidden files killed it)
94 - You can now pass in an optional filehandle to the constructor
96 0.95 Oct 12 13:58:00 2005 Pacific
97 - Added optional autobless flag to preserve and restore blessed hashes
98 - Fixed bug where 0 could not be fetched using get_next_key
99 - Fixed bug where tie() constructor didn't accept a hash ref for args
100 - optimize() now preserves user/group/permissions
101 - Errors are now FATAL (meaning it calls die()), unless you set debug flag
103 0.94 Apr 13 19:00:26 2004 Pacific
104 - Fixed bug reported by John Cardenas (corruption at key level when
105 replace of less data was done on bucket)
107 0.93 Feb 15 19:53:17 2004 Pacific
108 - Fixed optmize() on Win32 where orig file couldn't be overwritten unless
109 filehandle was closed first. This change introduces a potential race
110 condition when using locking and optmize() on Win32, but it can be
111 fixed in the future using a soft copy instead of Perl's rename().
113 0.92 Feb 12 19:10:22 2004 Pacific
114 - Fixed bug where passing a reference to a different DBM::Deep object
115 would still result in an internal reference.
116 - Added export() method for recursively extracting hashes/arrays into
117 standard in-memory Perl structures.
118 - Added import() method for recursively importing existing Perl hash/
120 - Fixed bug where optimize() wouldn't work if base level of DB was
121 an array instead of a hash.
123 0.91 Feb 12 02:30:22 2004 Pacific
124 - Fixed bug with splice() when length of removed section was 0
125 - Updated POD re: circular refs and optimize()
126 - Had to jump version numbers to 0.91 because in previous releases
127 I used only a single digit after the decimal which was confusing
130 0.10 Feb 11 08:58:35 2004 Pacific
131 - Fixed bug where default file mode was CLEARING files (Thanks Rich!)
132 - Added experimental support for circular references
133 - Fixed bugs in shift(), unshift() and splice() where nested objects
134 in array would be recursively re-stored as basic hashes/arrays
135 - Fixed typos in POD docs
137 0.9 Feb 10 03:25:48 2004 Pacific
138 - Added Filters for storing/fetching keys/values
139 - Added hook for supplying own hashing algorithm
140 - FIxed some typos in POD docs, added new sections
142 0.8 Feb 8 02:38:22 2004 Pacific
143 - Renamed to DBM::Deep for CPAN
144 - Added optimize() method for rekindling unused space
145 - Now returning hybrid tie()/OO object from new()
146 - Basic error handling introduced
147 - Added debug mode for printing errors to STDERR
148 - Added TYPE_HASH and TYPE_ARRAY constants for "type" param
149 - Added clone() method for safe copying of objects
150 - Wrote POD documentation
151 - Added set_pack() function for manipulating LONG_SIZE / LONG_PACK
152 - Added aliases for most tied functions for public use
153 - Now setting binmode() on FileHandle for Win32
154 - Added 45 unit tests
156 0.7 Jan 4 11:31:50 2003 UTC
158 - Changed file signature to DPDB (not compatible with older versions)
159 - Converted array length to packed long instead of sprintf()ed string
161 0.6 Dec 31 15:12:03 2002 UTC
162 - Some misc optimizations for speed
164 0.5 Oct 18 08:55:29 2002 UTC
165 - support for force_return_next parameter in traverse_index() method for
166 ultra-fast combined key search/removal
168 0.4 Oct 15 20:07:47 2002 UTC
169 - now making sure filehandle is open for all DB calls
171 0.3 Oct 3 19:04:13 2002 UTC
172 - fixed bug that could cause corrupted data when using locking
174 0.2 Aug 6 16:37:32 2002 UTC
175 - Removed base index caching, as it can cause problems when two processes
176 are populating the db at the same time (even with locking)
178 0.1 Jun 3 08:06:26 2002 UTC
