Revision history for Perl extension VMS::Queue

0.01 Mon Dec 01 13:32:04 1997

• Copied over from VMS::Process.
  • Implemented the xxx_list, xxx_info, and xxx_properties routines. xxx_list doesn't take a property hash yet, though.

0.02 Wed Dec 10 09:22:05 1997

• Fixed basic.t. (Was VMS::Process' tests--chopped out everything but test 1)
• Added xxx_bitmap_decode functions.
• Took quicktest.pl out of MANIFEST. MakeMaker'll whine on a distclean, but at least quicktest.pl won't get installed now.

0.03 Mon Dec 15 12:34:12 1997

• Added delete_entry, delete_queue, delete_form, delete_manager, and delete_characteristic functions
• modified the xxx_properties function. The value for each key is now a hash, with four keys, INPUT_INFO, OUTPUT_INFO, INPUT_ACTION, and OUTPUT_ACTION. The values for these keys will be true or false, depending on whether the property is an input or output property for the action or info functions. A property can be multiple things.
• Added stop_queue, start_queue, reset_queue, and pause_queue functions.
• Added start_manager and stop_manager functions.
• Added hold_entry and release_entry functions.

0.05 Mon Dec 23 15:25:03 1997

• Added docs for the file_list, file_properties, and file_bitmap_decode functions.
• Added in code for the file_properties and file_bitmap_decode functions.

0.06 Wed Dec 31 15:54:34 1997

• Added all the functions to the EXPORT_OK list.

0.07 Wed Jan 07 09:47:06 1998

• Made a change to generic_getqui_call to take two additional parameters-- the number of 'reserved' slots at the beginning of the item list, and a second 'okay' JBC status. (Added for file_info, which needs to work in wildcard mode)
• Added return JBC status and context parameter to gneric_getqui_call. Amazingly, it all still works.
• Added the file_list function
• Fixed generic_getqui_call--it leaked memory like a sieve.
• generic_getqui_call's array indexing was totally whacked. It never showed up before because everything always called it with an offset of one, which just happened to work.

0.08 Wed Jan 28 15:40:04 1998

• Added code for the submit function, and at least some of the SNDJBC item codes. As of 2/12/98, it works.

0.09 Fri Feb 13 11:56:03 1998

• Created the build_itemlist and tear_down_itemlist functions to create or destroy itemlists.
• Added in a whole boatload of item codes for SNDJBC, as well as code to handle time and longword items to build_itemlist

0.10 Fri Feb 27 11:21:04 1998

• Added more item codes for SNDJBC
• Added in code for all the create_xxx and modify_xxx functions. They're all the same code with minor differences, so they've been rolled into one ALIAS:ed XSUB. Cool.

0.10 Wed Apr 01 19:30:00 1998

• Added yet more item codes for SNDJBC

0.11 Wed Apr 01 19:45:00 1998

• Switched over to ALIAS for the xxx_bitmap_decode functions. More code trimmed away...
• Switched the xxx_properties functions to an ALIAS. Snip, snip...
• Added the last of the sndjbc items. Whew...

0.11 Thu Apr 02 14:44:13 1998

• More ALIAS merging.

0.11 Mon May 18 15:53:43 1998

• Fixed up the queue properties list
• Added in code to specify properties for the queues you want. (Mainly name, but hey, who am I to limit things?)

0.11 Wed May 20 16:48:94 1998

• Added code to turn a hash of flag names to an integer (The reverse of the decode_bitmap function)

0.12 Thu May 21 9:55:04 1998

• Added code to specify properties for entries
• Bumped version number
• Addede code to specify properties for forms, characteristics, and managers.

0.50 Thu May 21 10:45:43 1998

• Things seem functionally complete, though the docs are badly lacking. Bumping the version number and making a distribution.

0.51 Mon Oct 26 11:56:21 1998

• Symbiont queues were being skipped. Now they're not.
• Array offsets were getting scrambled a bit, and the queue_info function was using the wrong length for string returns.

0.52 Fri Nov 13 12:25:03 1998

• Added in some more code to avoid skipping queues. Now there's a generic "I'm a queue" flag that all queues get, so we return some info even for queues whose type we don't recognize.

0.53 Fri Nov 20 9:33:03 1998

• Took out some debugging code that'd been left in.

0.54 Tue Dec 15 15:54:03 1998

• Fixed bugs in build_itemlist that kept it from actually working right
• Added queue to list of valid things you can get SCSNODE_NAME for

0.55 Thu Aug 25 11:12:21 2000

• Fixed old e-mail addresses
• Fixed to build with 5.6.0
• Makefile.PL fixup
• Fixed sprintf format (courtesy of Ed James)
• Logfile spec too short (fix courtesy of Ed James)
• I think I fixed a bug where entries that couldn't print because of block limits still show. I think...

0.56 Thu Nov 16 12:10:32 2000

• Finally got around to installing the wildcard and null time->undef patches from Tom Pfau

0.57 Wed May 30 17:12:22 2001

• Some of the _list functions leaked contexts. Fixed.

0.58 Sun Aug 20 16:50:00 2006

• Plug memory leaks courtesy of Thomas Pfau
• Handoff from Dan to Craig Berry for maintenance
