+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 89.6% (and climbing)
+ - 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()
- get_next_key() is now _get_next_key()
- copy_node() is now _copy_node()
- throw_error() is now _throw_error()
- - Added Devel::Cover report
+ - 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
