Revision history for DBM::Deep.
-0.97 ??? ?? ??:??:?? 2006 Pacific
- - Reorganization of distribution
+1.0009_01 Sep 24 14:00:00 2007 EDT
+ - THIS VERSION IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH FILES FROM ALL OTHER PRIOR VERSIONS.
+ - Further fixes for unshift/shift/splice and references (RT# 29583)
+ - To fix that, I had to put support for real references in.
+ - the 16 and 22 tests are now re-enabled.
+ - Yes, this means that real references work. See t/45_references.t
+
+1.0002 Sep 20 22:00:00 2007 EDT
+ - (This version is compatible with 1.0001)
+ - Expanded _throw_error() so that it provides better information.
+ (Thanks brian d foy!)
+ - Fixed how shift, unshift, and splice work when there are references
+ being moved. It now no longer dies.
+ - Added diag in t/17_import.t to note that the failing tests on blead
+ are due to Clone being broken, not DBM::Deep. The tests will still
+ fail because I don't want users to install something that's broken
+ and deal with those bug reports.
+
+1.0001 Mar 12 16:15:00 2007 EDT
+ - (This version is compatible with 1.0000)
+ - Added a missing dependency on IO::Scalar (RT #25387)
+ - Fixed how t/44_upgrade_db.t and utils/upgrade_db.pl worked
+ - utils/upgrade_db.pl now uses #!perl, not #!/usr/bin/perl
+ - t/44_upgrade_db.t now explicitly calls $^X
+ (Thanks merlyn!)
+
+1.0000 Feb 26 22:30:00 2007 EST
+ - THIS VERSION IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH FILES FROM ALL OTHER PRIOR VERSIONS.
+ - To aid in this form of upgrades, DBM::Deep now checks the file format
+ version to make sure that it knows how to read it.
+ - db_upgrade.pl was added to utils/. This will -NOT- install onto
+ your system. This is deliberate.
+ - db_upgrade.pl will not handle developer release file formats. This
+ is due to the fact that all developer releases in preparation for a
+ given release share the same file version, even though the file
+ format may change. This is deliberate.
+ - Importing no longer takes place within a transaction
+ - The following parameters were added:
+ - data_sector_size - this determines the default size of a data sector.
+ - Correctly handle opening readonly files
+
+0.99_04 Jan 24 22:30:00 2007 EST
+ - Added the missing lib/DBM/Deep.pod file to the MANIFEST
+ - Fixed a poorly-designed test that was failing depending on what Clone::Any
+ was using.
+ - All "use 5.6.0;" lines are now "use 5.006_000;" to avoid warnings about
+ unsupported vstrings in 5.9.x
+
+0.99_03 Jan 23 22:30:00 2007 EST
+ - THIS VERSION IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH FILES FROM ALL OTHER PRIOR VERSIONS.
+ - The fileformat changed completely. I will be writing a converter, but
+ it's not there right now. Do NOT expect that this module will
+ correctly detect older versions and handle them sanely. Sanity will be
+ there for 1.00, but we're not there yet, are we?
+ - Converted to use FileHandle::Fmode to handle filehandle status checks
+ - Fixed bug with deleting already-deleted items on Win32 (reported by Nigel Sandever)
+ - The guts of how transactions work has been rewritten to better handle
+ some edgecases. This required a complete rewrite of the engine.
+ - Freespace management is now in place. It's not perfect, but it's there.
+ - The rewrite of the engine required a rewrite of how first_key/next_key
+ was implemented. This should result in significant speed improvements.
+ - Self-reference has been removed. This means you cannot do:
+ $db->{foo} = { x => 'y' };
+ $db->{bar} = $db->{foo};
+ I hope to be able to return this functionality by 1.00, but I cannot
+ promise anything. To do this properly, it requires refcounting in order
+ to correctly handle deletions and transactions. Once you move away from
+ a simple tree, everything becomes really hard.
+
+0.99_02 Apr 28 05:00:00 2006 Pacific
+ - Added missing file to the MANIFEST
+
+0.99_01 Apr 27 18:00:00 2006 Pacific
+ - Added explicit dependency on Perl 5.6.0
+ - Digest::MD5 requires 5.6.0
+ - Sub::Uplevel (dep of Test::Exception) requires 5.6.0
+ - Removed error()/clear_error()
+ - All error-handling is done with die()
+ - Broke out DBM::Deep's code into DBM::Deep::Engine
+ - Tied variables can no longer be assigned to a DBM::Deep object.
+ - This includes cross-file assignments.
+ - Autovivification now works
+ - This is a consequence of the fact that all assignments are tied.
+ - set_pack() and set_digest() have been removed.
+ - Instead, you will now pass the appropriate values into new()
+ - A pack_size parameter has been added to make 64-bit files easier
+ - Transactions now work
+
+0.983 Apr 10 20:00:00 2006 Pacific
+ - Added patch inspired by Jeff Janes (Thanks!)
+ - Autovivification now works correctly
+ - The following now works correctly
+ my %hash = ( a => 1 );
+ $db->{hash} = \%hash;
+ $hash{b} = 2;
+ cmp_ok( $db->{hash}{b}, '==', 2 );
+ - (RT#18530) - DBM::Deep now plays nicely with -l
+
+0.982 Mar 08 11:00:00 2006 Pacific
+ - Fixed smoketests that were failing on Win32
+ - Added restriction for Perl 5.6.0 or higher.
+ - Digest::MD5 and Sub::Uplevel (dep of Test::Exception) require 5.6+
+
+0.981 Mar 06 11:00:00 2006 Pacific
+ - (RT#17947) - Fixed test that was failing on older Perls
+
+0.98 Feb 28 11:00:00 2006 Pacific
+ - Added in patch by David Cantrell to allow use of DATA filehandle
+ - Fixed bug where attempting to export() a structure that used autobless would die
+ - Fixed arraytest slowness by localizing $SIG{__DIE__} to prevent Test::Builder's
+ $SIG{__DIE__} from being called. (q.v. http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/eval.html)
+ - More methods have been made private:
+ - root() is now _root()
+ - base_offset() is now _base_offset()
+ - fh() is now _fh()
+ - type() is now _type()
+ - precalc_sizes() is now _precalc_sizes()
+
+0.97 Feb 24 10:00:00 2006 Pacific
+ - Reorganization of distribution to a more standard layout
- Migration to Module::Build with EU::MM backwards compatibility
- - Test coverage improved to ??%
+ - Migration of all tests to use Test::More and Test::Exception
+ - Added Devel::Cover report to DBM::Deep POD
+ - Test coverage improved to 89.6% (and climbing)
- The following methods have been renamed to reflect their private nature:
- init() is now _init()
- open() is now _open()
- close() is now _close()
+ - load_tag() is now _load_tag()
+ - index_lookup() is now _index_lookup()
+ - add_bucket() is now _add_bucket()
+ - get_bucket_value() is now _get_bucket_value()
+ - delete_bucket() is now _delete_bucket()
+ - bucket_exists() is now _bucket_exists()
+ - find_bucket_list() is now _find_bucket_list()
+ - traverse_index() is now _traverse_index()
+ - get_next_key() is now _get_next_key()
+ - copy_node() is now _copy_node()
+ - throw_error() is now _throw_error()
+ - The various tied classes have been broken out. This means that testing
+ "ref( $obj ) eq 'DBM::Deep'" will now fail. The correct test is
+ "eval { $obj->isa( 'DBM::Deep' ) }".
+ - The various methods like push and delete now have the same return values as
+ the standard builtins.
+ - TIEARRAY and TIEHASH now check their parameters more thoroughly
+ - Negative indices for arrays works as expected, including throwing the appropriate
+ errors.
+ - RT #16877 is fixed (DBM::Deep broken with Perl 5.9.3+).
+ - RT #14893 is fixed (tie() and new() use different parameter lists).
+ - A bug with optimize and threading is fixed.
+ - autobless has received some attention, resulting in a number of bugs fixed.
+ - Removed mode option as it just caused confusion.
+ - Removed volatile option as it is pretty useless (use locking instead)
+ - Locking now implicitly enables autoflush
0.96 Oct 14 09:55:00 2005 Pacific
- Fixed build (OS X hidden files killed it)
