186 * added documentation patch regarding duplicate keys from Andrew Johnson

221 1.74 10th December 2000
223 * A "close" call in DB_File.xs needed parenthesised to stop win32 from
224 thinking it was one of its macros.
226 * Updated dbinfo to support Berkeley DB 3.1 file format changes.

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

269 * Updated to support Berkeley DB 3.x
271 * Updated dbinfo for Berkeley DB 3.x file formats.

329 1.62 30th November 1998
331 Added hints/dynixptx.pl.
332 Fixed typemap -- 1.61 used PL_na instead of na
334 1.61 19th November 1998
336 Added a note to README about how to build Berkeley DB 2.x when
338 Minor modifications to get the module to build with DB 2.5.x
339 Fixed a typo in the definition of O_RDONLY, courtesy of Mark Kettenis.
342 Changed the test to check for full tied array support
345 Updated the license section.
347 Berkeley DB 2.4.10 disallows zero length keys. Tests 32 & 42 in
348 db-btree.t and test 27 in db-hash.t failed because of this change.
349 Those tests have been zapped.
351 Added dbinfo to the distribution.
354 Tied Array support was enhanced in Perl 5.004_57. DB_File now
355 supports PUSH,POP,SHIFT,UNSHIFT & STORESIZE.
357 Fixed a problem with the use of sv_setpvn. When the size is
358 specified as 0, it does a strlen on the data. This was ok for DB
359 1.x, but isn't for DB 2.x.
362 If Perl has been compiled with Threads support,the symbol op will be
363 defined. This clashes with a field name in db.h, so it needs to be
364 #undef'ed before db.h is included.
367 Documented the Solaris 2.5 mutex bug
374 Fixed a small bug in the test harness when run under win32
375 The emulation of fd when useing DB 2.x was busted.
379 Added DB_RENUMBER to flags for recno.
383 Patch from Nick Ing-Simmons now allows DB_File to build on NT.
388 Fixed the test harness so that it doesn't expect DB_File to have
389 been installed by the main Perl build.
392 Fixed a bug in mapping 1.x O_RDONLY flag to 2.x DB_RDONLY equivalent
396 DB_File can now build with either DB 1.x or 2.x, but not both at
401 A harmless looking tab was causing Makefile.PL to fail on AIX 3.2.5
403 Small fix for the AIX strict C compiler XLC which doesn't like
404 __attribute__ being defined via proto.h and redefined via db.h. Fix
405 courtesy of Jarkko Hietaniemi.
409 Patch from Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no> to suppress "use of undefined
410 value" warning with db_get and db_seq.
412 Patch from Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no> to make DB_File export only the
413 O_* constants from Fcntl.
415 Removed the DESTROY method from the DB_File::HASHINFO module.
417 Previously DB_File hard-wired the class name of any object that it
418 created to "DB_File". This makes sub-classing difficult. Now
419 DB_File creats objects in the namespace of the package it has been
425 Made it illegal to tie an associative array to a RECNO database and
426 an ordinary array to a HASH or BTREE database.
430 Minor changes to DB_FIle.xs and DB_File.pm
434 Documented the incompatibility with version 2 of Berkeley DB.
438 Documented the untie gotcha.
442 Fixed fd method so that it still returns -1 for in-memory files
443 when db 1.86 is used.
447 Minor bug fix in DB_File::HASHINFO, DB_File::RECNOINFO and
450 Changed default mode to 0666.
454 Documented operation of bval.
458 Fixed bug with RECNO, where bval wasn't defaulting to "\n".
462 Minor namespace cleanup: Localized PrintBtree.
466 Made all scripts in the documentation strict and -w clean.
468 Added logic to DB_File.xs to allow the module to be built after
473 Minor documentation changes.
475 Fixed a bug in hash_cb. Patches supplied by Dave Hammen,
476 <hammen@gothamcity.jsc.nasa.govt>.
478 Fixed a bug with the constructors for DB_File::HASHINFO,
479 DB_File::BTREEINFO and DB_File::RECNOINFO. Also tidied up the
480 constructors to make them -w clean.
482 Reworked part of the test harness to be more locale friendly.
486 Documentation update.
488 DB_File now imports the constants (O_RDWR, O_CREAT etc.) from Fcntl
491 The standard hash function exists is now supported.
493 Modified the behavior of get_dup. When it returns an associative
494 array, the value is the count of the number of matching BTREE
499 Merged OS/2 specific code into DB_File.xs
501 Removed some redundant code in DB_File.xs.
503 Documentation update.
505 Allow negative subscripts with RECNO interface.
507 Changed the default flags from O_RDWR to O_CREAT|O_RDWR.
509 The example code which showed how to lock a database needed a call
510 to sync added. Without it the resultant database file was empty.
512 Added get_dup method.
516 Fixed a core dump problem with SunOS.
518 The return value from TIEHASH wasn't set to NULL when dbopen
523 DB_File has been in use for over a year. To reflect that, the
524 version number has been incremented to 1.0.
526 Added complete support for multiple concurrent callbacks.
528 Using the push method on an empty list didn't work properly. This
533 Added prototype support for multiple btree compare callbacks.
537 When DB_File is opening a database file it no longer terminates the
538 process if dbopen returned an error. This allows file protection
539 errors to be caught at run time. Thanks to Judith Grass
540 <grass@cybercash.com> for spotting the bug.
