1999-06-02  Russ Allbery

• README: Tie::ShadowHash 0.6 released.

• ShadowHash.pm: Added documentation of tagged data sources and of the "text" tagged data source in particular, as well as some examples, now that this has been verified as already working.

• test.pl: Added tests for special text data sources that take a filename and a sub that returns a list of key and one or more values.

• test/pairs.txt: New file.
• test/triples.txt: New file.

1999-04-03  Russ Allbery

• README: Tie::ShadowHash 0.5 released.

• ShadowHash.pm: Fixed NEXTKEY again; it was skipping over too much of the source when it hit a deleted key.

• test.pl: Added a test to ensure that deleted keys don't show up in the keys of the shadow hash.

• ShadowHash.pm: Added some comments to the tied hash section of the code, fixed a bug in NEXTKEY where it didn't skip past entries that had been deleted.

• test.pl: Switched from using SDBM_File to using AnyDBM_File since for some reason SDBM isn't built on the Mac port. Also switched to building the DBM on the fly before running any tests, since a lot of DBMs, including SDBM, are byte-order-dependent.

• test/first.txt: New file.
• test/first.dir: Removed.
• test/first.pag: Removed.

• README: Tie::ShadowHash 0.3 released.

• TODO: New file.

• ShadowHash.pm: [Revision 0.3] Added documentation.

• test/first.dir: New file.
• test/first.pag: New file.
• test/full: New file.
• test/second.txt: New file.

• test.pl: New file.

• Makefile.PL: New file.

• ShadowHash.pm: [Revision 0.2] Don't use exists when finding a key in the databases, since some tied databases can't handle it such as ODBM, NDBM, and SDBM without my patch. This means that keys with undefined values don't correctly override later identical keys with defined values. *sigh* Also, make add() return true.
