Revision history for Perl extension DB_File::Lock.
0.05 Tue Apr 9 15:14:43 EDT 2002
- removed use Carp qw(verbose) which was effecting other modules
- documentation improvements recommended by Stas Bekman <stas@stason.org>
- the documentation said we supported RECONO (tie for arrays) but
Shlomo Yona <Shlomo.Yona@Siftology.com> pointed out the implementation
did not support that. Added support for RECNO.
- added a warning when opening a database with write access and only
locking it for reading. This warning disabled for RECNO because RECNO
seems to require O_RDWR even when opening only for reading.
- added test of database creation failure
- added test of database access through object interface
- added test of RECNO database creation and usage

- Three good fixes from Robert Mathews <rmathews@excitecorp.com>.
(Thanks to him for submitting a patch!) In his own words:
(1) The first one is nothing big: test 16 fails with BerkeleyDB
v1.85 on solaris 5.6. This seems to be due to the fact that
we're creating a database (and therefore writing to it),
but it's only read-locked.
(2) The second is that TIEHASH assumes that SUPER::TIEHASH
will succeed. If it doesn't, the lockfile gets left open,
and DESTROY is never called to close it.
(3) I ran into one other issue: umask isn't restored if sysopen
on the lockfile fails. Fixed that too.

- stupid me! version 0.02 didn't ship with a Makefile.PL, only a Makefile.old.
seems that I deleted the wrong file before taring up the archive after testing.
- Lock.pm didn't have $VERSION set correctly.
0.02 Thu Jan 13 20:19:44 EST 2000
- much improved documentation
- much improved README
- added notes to other DB_File wrapper locking functions in POD and README
- fixed some incorrect assumptions about flock(2) in test.pl that ended
up being wrong on both Solaris and HP-UX and caused two tests to fail.
