+
+0.1
+
+    First Release.
+
+0.2
+
+    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.
+
+0.3
+
+    Added prototype support for multiple btree compare callbacks.
+
+1.0
+
+    DB_File has been in use for over a year. To reflect that, the
+    version number has been incremented to 1.0.
+
+    Added complete support for multiple concurrent callbacks.
+
+    Using the push method on an empty list didn't work properly. This
+    has been fixed.
+
+1.01
+
+    Fixed a core dump problem with SunOS.
+
+    The return value from TIEHASH wasn't set to NULL when dbopen
+    returned an error.
+
+1.02
+
+    Merged OS/2 specific code into DB_File.xs
+
+    Removed some redundant code in DB_File.xs.
+
+    Documentation update.
+
+    Allow negative subscripts with RECNO interface.
+
+    Changed the default flags from O_RDWR to O_CREAT|O_RDWR.
+
+    The example code which showed how to lock a database needed a call
+    to sync added. Without it the resultant database file was empty.
+
+    Added get_dup method.
+
+1.03
+
+    Documentation update.
+
+    DB_File now imports the constants (O_RDWR, O_CREAT etc.) from Fcntl
+    automatically.
+
+    The standard hash function exists is now supported.
+
+    Modified the behavior of get_dup. When it returns an associative
+    array, the value is the count of the number of matching BTREE
+    values.
+
+1.04
+
+    Minor documentation changes.
+
+    Fixed a bug in hash_cb. Patches supplied by Dave Hammen,
+    <hammen@gothamcity.jsc.nasa.govt>.
+
+    Fixed a bug with the constructors for DB_File::HASHINFO,
+    DB_File::BTREEINFO and DB_File::RECNOINFO. Also tidied up the
+    constructors to make them -w clean.
+
+    Reworked part of the test harness to be more locale friendly.
+
+1.05
+
+    Made all scripts in the documentation strict and -w clean.
+
+    Added logic to DB_File.xs to allow the module to be built after
+    Perl is installed.
+
+1.06
+
+    Minor namespace cleanup: Localized PrintBtree.
+
+1.07
+
+    Fixed bug with RECNO, where bval wasn't defaulting to "\n".
+
+1.08
+
+    Documented operation of bval.
+
+1.09
+
+    Minor bug fix in DB_File::HASHINFO, DB_File::RECNOINFO and
+    DB_File::BTREEINFO.
+
+    Changed default mode to 0666.
+
+1.10
+
+    Fixed fd method so that it still returns -1 for in-memory files
+    when db 1.86 is used.
+
+1.11
+
+    Documented the untie gotcha.
+
+1.12
+
+    Documented the incompatibility with version 2 of Berkeley DB.
+
+1.13
+
+    Minor changes to DB_FIle.xs and DB_File.pm
+
+1.14
+
+    Made it illegal to tie an associative array to a RECNO database and
+    an ordinary array to a HASH or BTREE database.
+
+1.15
+
+    Patch from Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no> to suppress "use of undefined
+    value" warning with db_get and db_seq.
+
+    Patch from Gisle Aas <gisle@aas.no> to make DB_File export only the
+    O_* constants from Fcntl.
+
+    Removed the DESTROY method from the DB_File::HASHINFO module.
+
+    Previously DB_File hard-wired the class name of any object that it
+    created to "DB_File". This makes sub-classing difficult. Now
+    DB_File creats objects in the namespace of the package it has been
+    inherited into.
+
+
+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.
+
+1.50
+
+    DB_File can now build with either DB 1.x or 2.x, but not both at
+    the same time.
+
+1.51
+
+    Fixed the test harness so that it doesn't expect DB_File to have
+    been installed by the main Perl build.
+
+
+    Fixed a bug in mapping 1.x O_RDONLY flag to 2.x DB_RDONLY equivalent
+
+1.52
+
+   Patch from Nick Ing-Simmons now allows DB_File to build on NT.
+   Merged 1.15 patch.
+
+1.53
+
+   Added DB_RENUMBER to flags for recno.
+
+1.54
+
+   Fixed a small bug in the test harness when run under win32
+   The emulation of fd when useing DB 2.x was busted.
+
+1.55
+   Merged 1.16 changes.
+
+1.56
+   Documented the Solaris 2.5 mutex bug
+
+1.57
+   If Perl has been compiled with Threads support,the symbol op will be
+   defined. This clashes with a field name in db.h, so it needs to be
+   #undef'ed before db.h is included.
+
+1.58
+   Tied Array support was enhanced in Perl 5.004_57. DB_File now
+   supports PUSH,POP,SHIFT,UNSHIFT & STORESIZE.
+
+   Fixed a problem with the use of sv_setpvn. When the size is
+   specified as 0, it does a strlen on the data.  This was ok for DB
+   1.x, but isn't for DB 2.x.
+
+1.59
+   Updated the license section.
+
+   Berkeley DB 2.4.10 disallows zero length keys. Tests 32 & 42 in
+   db-btree.t and test 27 in db-hash.t failed because of this change.
+   Those tests have been zapped.
+
+   Added dbinfo to the distribution.
+
+1.60
+   Changed the test to check for full tied array support
