190 * added documentation patch regarding duplicate keys from Andrew Johnson

222 * Updated dbinfo to support Berkeley DB 3.2 file format changes.
225 1.74 10th December 2000
227 * A "close" call in DB_File.xs needed parenthesised to stop win32 from
228 thinking it was one of its macros.
230 * Updated dbinfo to support Berkeley DB 3.1 file format changes.
232 * DB_File.pm & the test hasness now use the warnings pragma (when

242 This has been fixed. Thanks to Edward Avis for spotting this bug.

246 * Included Perl core patch 8068 -- fix for bug 20001013.009

266 the updates to the documentation and writing DB_File::Lock (available
269 1.71 7th September 1999
271 * Fixed a bug that prevented 1.70 from compiling under win32
273 * Updated to support Berkeley DB 3.x
275 * Updated dbinfo for Berkeley DB 3.x file formats.

333 1.62 30th November 1998
335 Added hints/dynixptx.pl.
336 Fixed typemap -- 1.61 used PL_na instead of na
338 1.61 19th November 1998
340 Added a note to README about how to build Berkeley DB 2.x when
342 Minor modifications to get the module to build with DB 2.5.x
343 Fixed a typo in the definition of O_RDONLY, courtesy of Mark Kettenis.
346 Changed the test to check for full tied array support
349 Updated the license section.
351 Berkeley DB 2.4.10 disallows zero length keys. Tests 32 & 42 in
352 db-btree.t and test 27 in db-hash.t failed because of this change.
353 Those tests have been zapped.
355 Added dbinfo to the distribution.
358 Tied Array support was enhanced in Perl 5.004_57. DB_File now
359 supports PUSH,POP,SHIFT,UNSHIFT & STORESIZE.
361 Fixed a problem with the use of sv_setpvn. When the size is
362 specified as 0, it does a strlen on the data. This was ok for DB
363 1.x, but isn't for DB 2.x.
366 If Perl has been compiled with Threads support,the symbol op will be
367 defined. This clashes with a field name in db.h, so it needs to be
368 #undef'ed before db.h is included.
371 Documented the Solaris 2.5 mutex bug
378 Fixed a small bug in the test harness when run under win32
379 The emulation of fd when useing DB 2.x was busted.
383 Added DB_RENUMBER to flags for recno.
387 Patch from Nick Ing-Simmons now allows DB_File to build on NT.
392 Fixed the test harness so that it doesn't expect DB_File to have
393 been installed by the main Perl build.
396 Fixed a bug in mapping 1.x O_RDONLY flag to 2.x DB_RDONLY equivalent
400 DB_File can now build with either DB 1.x or 2.x, but not both at
405 A harmless looking tab was causing Makefile.PL to fail on AIX 3.2.5
407 Small fix for the AIX strict C compiler XLC which doesn't like
408 __attribute__ being defined via proto.h and redefined via db.h. Fix
409 courtesy of Jarkko Hietaniemi.
413 Patch from Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no> to suppress "use of undefined
414 value" warning with db_get and db_seq.
416 Patch from Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no> to make DB_File export only the
417 O_* constants from Fcntl.
419 Removed the DESTROY method from the DB_File::HASHINFO module.
421 Previously DB_File hard-wired the class name of any object that it
422 created to "DB_File". This makes sub-classing difficult. Now
423 DB_File creats objects in the namespace of the package it has been
429 Made it illegal to tie an associative array to a RECNO database and
430 an ordinary array to a HASH or BTREE database.
434 Minor changes to DB_FIle.xs and DB_File.pm
438 Documented the incompatibility with version 2 of Berkeley DB.
442 Documented the untie gotcha.
446 Fixed fd method so that it still returns -1 for in-memory files
447 when db 1.86 is used.
451 Minor bug fix in DB_File::HASHINFO, DB_File::RECNOINFO and
454 Changed default mode to 0666.
458 Documented operation of bval.
462 Fixed bug with RECNO, where bval wasn't defaulting to "\n".
466 Minor namespace cleanup: Localized PrintBtree.
470 Made all scripts in the documentation strict and -w clean.
472 Added logic to DB_File.xs to allow the module to be built after
477 Minor documentation changes.
479 Fixed a bug in hash_cb. Patches supplied by Dave Hammen,
480 <hammen@gothamcity.jsc.nasa.govt>.
482 Fixed a bug with the constructors for DB_File::HASHINFO,
483 DB_File::BTREEINFO and DB_File::RECNOINFO. Also tidied up the
484 constructors to make them -w clean.
486 Reworked part of the test harness to be more locale friendly.
490 Documentation update.
492 DB_File now imports the constants (O_RDWR, O_CREAT etc.) from Fcntl
495 The standard hash function exists is now supported.
497 Modified the behavior of get_dup. When it returns an associative
498 array, the value is the count of the number of matching BTREE
503 Merged OS/2 specific code into DB_File.xs
505 Removed some redundant code in DB_File.xs.
507 Documentation update.
509 Allow negative subscripts with RECNO interface.
511 Changed the default flags from O_RDWR to O_CREAT|O_RDWR.
513 The example code which showed how to lock a database needed a call
514 to sync added. Without it the resultant database file was empty.
516 Added get_dup method.
520 Fixed a core dump problem with SunOS.
522 The return value from TIEHASH wasn't set to NULL when dbopen
527 DB_File has been in use for over a year. To reflect that, the
528 version number has been incremented to 1.0.
530 Added complete support for multiple concurrent callbacks.
532 Using the push method on an empty list didn't work properly. This
537 Added prototype support for multiple btree compare callbacks.
541 When DB_File is opening a database file it no longer terminates the
542 process if dbopen returned an error. This allows file protection
543 errors to be caught at run time. Thanks to Judith Grass
544 <grass@cybercash.com> for spotting the bug.
