-0.1
+1.806 22nd October 2002
- First Release.
+ * Fixed problem when trying to build with a multi-threaded perl.
-0.2
+ * Tidied up the recursion detetion code.
- When DB_File is opening a database file it no longer terminates the
- process if dbopen returned an error. This allows file protection
- errors to be caught at run time. Thanks to Judith Grass
- <grass@cybercash.com> for spotting the bug.
+ * merged core patch 17844 - missing dTHX declarations.
-0.3
+ * merged core patch 17838
- Added prototype support for multiple btree compare callbacks.
+1.805 1st September 2002
-1.0
+ * Added support to allow DB_File to build with Berkeley DB 4.1.X
- DB_File has been in use for over a year. To reflect that, the
- version number has been incremented to 1.0.
+ * Tightened up the test harness to test that calls to untie don't generate
+ the "untie attempted while %d inner references still exist" warning.
- Added complete support for multiple concurrent callbacks.
+ * added code to guard against calling the callbacks (compare,hash & prefix)
+ recursively.
- Using the push method on an empty list didn't work properly. This
- has been fixed.
+ * pasing undef for the flags and/or mode when opening a database could cause
+ a "Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry" warning. Now silenced.
-1.01
+ * DBM filter code beefed up to cope with read-only $_.
- Fixed a core dump problem with SunOS.
+1.804 2nd June 2002
- The return value from TIEHASH wasn't set to NULL when dbopen
- returned an error.
+ * Perl core patch 14939 added a new warning to "splice". This broke the
+ db-recno test harness. Fixed.
-1.02
+ * merged core patches 16502 & 16540.
- Merged OS/2 specific code into DB_File.xs
+1.803 1st March 2002
- Removed some redundant code in DB_File.xs.
+ * Fixed a problem with db-btree.t where it complained about an "our"
+ variable redeclaation.
- Documentation update.
+ * FETCH, STORE & DELETE don't map the flags parameter into the
+ equivalent Berkeley DB function anymore.
- Allow negative subscripts with RECNO interface.
+1.802 6th January 2002
- Changed the default flags from O_RDWR to O_CREAT|O_RDWR.
+ * The message about some test failing in db-recno.t had the wrong test
+ numbers. Fixed.
- The example code which showed how to lock a database needed a call
- to sync added. Without it the resultant database file was empty.
+ * merged core patch 13942.
- Added get_dup method.
+1.801 26th November 2001
-1.03
+ * Fixed typo in Makefile.PL
- Documentation update.
+ * Added "clean" attribute to Makefile.PL
+
+1.800 23rd November 2001
- DB_File now imports the constants (O_RDWR, O_CREAT etc.) from Fcntl
- automatically.
+ * use pport.h for perl backward compatability code.
- The standard hash function exists is now supported.
+ * use new ExtUtils::Constant module to generate XS constants.
- Modified the behavior of get_dup. When it returns an associative
- array, the value is the count of the number of matching BTREE
- values.
+ * upgrade Makefile.PL upgrade/downgrade code to toggle "our" with
+ "use vars"
-1.04
+1.79 22nd October 2001
- Minor documentation changes.
+ * Added a "local $SIG{__DIE__}" inside the eval that checks for
+ the presence of XSLoader s suggested by Andrew Hryckowin.

+1.78 30th July 2001
- Added logic to DB_File.xs to allow the module to be built after

- Fixed bug with RECNO, where bval wasn't defaulting to "\n".
+1.77 26th April 2001

+ AIX and adds it to the link options.
- Documented operation of bval.

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

+1.60
+ Changed the test to check for full tied array support
+
+1.59
+ Updated the license section.
+
+ Berkeley DB 2.4.10 disallows zero length keys. Tests 32 & 42 in

+
+1.55
+ Merged 1.16 changes.

+
+1.50
+
+ DB_File can now build with either DB 1.x or 2.x, but not both at
+ the same time.
+
+1.16
+
+ A harmless looking tab was causing Makefile.PL to fail on AIX 3.2.5
+
+ Small fix for the AIX strict C compiler XLC which doesn't like
+ __attribute__ being defined via proto.h and redefined via db.h. Fix
+ courtesy of Jarkko Hietaniemi.
