NOTE: This is a minor release for the DBI core but a major release for
DBD::File and drivers that depend on it, like DBD::DBM and DBD::CSV.

This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.
to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.8.8 -> 5.10.0.
The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=...").

Driver-private methods installed with install_method are now proxied.
No longer does a round-trip to the server for methods it knows
have not been overridden by the remote driver.
Most significant aspects of gofer behaviour are controlled by policy mechanism.
Added policy-controlled caching of results for some methods, such as schema metadata.
The connect_cached and prepare_cached methods cache on client and server.
The bind_param_array and execute_array methods are now supported.
Worked around a DBD::Sybase bind_param bug (which is fixed in DBD::Sybase 1.07)
Added goferperf.pl utility (doesn't get installed).
Many other assorted Gofer related bug fixes, enhancements and docs.
The http and mod_perl transports have been remove to their own distribution.
Client and server will need upgrading together for this release.

a listing of the buildlink3.mk files included as well as the depth at
which they are included.
For example, "make show-buildlink3" in fonts/Xft2 displays:

freetype2
Xrender
renderproto
RECOMMENDED is removed. It becomes ABI_DEPENDS.
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.foo becomes BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.foo becomes BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS does not change.
IGNORE_RECOMMENDED (which defaulted to "no") becomes USE_ABI_DEPENDS
which defaults to "yes".
Added to obsolete.mk checking for IGNORE_RECOMMENDED.
I did not manually go through and fix any aesthetic tab/spacing issues.
I have tested the above patch on DragonFly building and packaging
subversion and pkglint and their many dependencies.
I have also tested USE_ABI_DEPENDS=no on my NetBSD workstation (where I
have used IGNORE_RECOMMENDED for a long time). I have been an active user
of IGNORE_RECOMMENDED since it was available.
As suggested, I removed the documentation sentences suggesting bumping for
"security" issues.
As discussed on tech-pkg.
I will commit to revbump, pkglint, pkg_install, createbuildlink separately.
Note that if you use wip, it will fail! I will commit to pkgsrc-wip
later (within day).
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
Changes in DBI 1.50 (svn rev 2307), 13 December 2005
Fixed Makefile.PL options for gcc bug introduced in 1.49.
Fixed handle magic order to keep DBD::Oracle happy.

Changed internals to be more strictly coded thanks to Andy Lester.
Changed warning about multiple copies of Driver.xst found in @INC
to ignore duplicated directories thanks to Ed Avis.
Changed Driver.xst to enable drivers to define an dbd_st_prepare_sv
function where the statement parameter is an SV. That enables
compiled drivers to support SQL strings that are UTF-8.
Changed "use DBI" to only set $DBI::connect_via if not already set.
Changed docs to clarify pre-method clearing of err values.
Added ability for DBI::ProfileData to edit profile path on loading.
This enables aggregation of different SQL statements into the same
profile node - very handy when not using placeholders or when working
multiple separate tables for the same thing (ie logtable_2005_11_28)
Added $sth->{ParamTypes} specification thanks to Dean Arnold.
Added $h->{Callbacks} attribute to enable code hooks to be invoked
when certain methods are called. For example:
$dbh->{Callbacks}->{prepare} = sub { ... };
With thanks to David Wheeler for the kick start.
Added $h->{ChildHandles} (using weakrefs) thanks to Sam Tregar
I've recoded it in C so there's no significant performance impact.
Added $h->{Type} docs (returns 'dr', 'db', or 'st')
Adding trace message in DESTROY if InactiveDestroy enabled.
Ported DBI::ProfileDumper::Apache to mod_perl2 RC5+
thanks to Philip M. Golluci
Changes in DBI 1.48 (svn rev 928), 14th March 2005
Fixed DBI::DBD::Metadata generation of type_info_all thanks to
Steffen Goeldner (driver authors who have used it should rerun
it).
Updated docs for NULL Value placeholders thanks to Brian Campbell.
Added multi-keyfield nested hash fetching to fetchall_hashref()
thanks to Zhuang (John) Li for polishing up my draft.
Added registered driver prefixes: amzn_ for DBD::Amazon and yaswi_
for DBD::Yaswi.
o Changes in DBI 1.47 (svn rev 854), 2nd February 2005
Fixed DBI::ProxyServer to not create pid files by default.
References: Ubuntu Security Notice USN-70-1, CAN-2005-0077

Debian Security Audit Project, and Jonathan Leffler.
[we already had a patch for that in pkgsrc]
Fixed some tests to work with older Test::More versions.
Fixed setting $DBI::err/errstr in DBI::PurePerl.
Fixed potential undef warning from connect_cached().
Fixed $DBI::lasth handling for DESTROY so lasth points to
parent even if DESTROY called other methods.
Fixed DBD::Proxy method calls to not alter $@.
Fixed DBD::File problem with encoding pragma thanks to Erik Rijkers.
Changed error handling so undef errstr doesn't cause warning.
Changed DBI::DBD docs to use =head3/=head4 pod thanks to
Jonathan Leffler. This may generate warnings for perl 5.6.
Changed DBI::PurePerl to set autoflush on trace filehandle.
Changed DBD::Proxy to treat Username as a local attribute
so recent DBI version can be used with old DBI::ProxyServer.
Changed driver handle caching in DBD::File.
Added $GetInfoType{SQL_DATABASE_NAME} thanks to Steffen Goeldner.
Updated docs to recommend some common DSN string attributes.
Updated connect_cached() docs with issues and suggestions.
Updated docs for NULL Value placeholders thanks to Brian Campbell.
Updated docs for primary_key_info and primary_keys.
Updated docs to clarify that the default fetchrow_hashref behaviour,
of returning a ref to a new hash for each row, will not change.
Updated err/errstr/state docs for DBD authors thanks to Steffen Goeldner.
Updated handle/attribute docs for DBD authors thanks to Steffen Goeldner.
Corrected and updated LongReadLen docs thanks to Bart Lateur.
Added DBD::JDBC as a registered driver.
module directory has changed (eg. "darwin-2level" vs.
"darwin-thread-multi-2level").
binary packages of perl modules need to be distinguishable between
being built against threaded perl and unthreaded perl, so bump the
PKGREVISION of all perl module packages and introduce
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED for perl as perl>=5.8.5nb5 so the correct
dependencies are registered and the binary packages are distinct.
addresses PR pkg/28619 from H. Todd Fujinaka.

Fixed t/41prof_dump.t to work with perl5.9.1.
Fixed DBD_ATTRIB_DELETE macro thanks to Marco Paskamp.
Fixed DBI::PurePerl looks_like_number() and $DBI::rows.
Fixed ref($h)->can("foo") to not croak.

Changed ShowErrorStatement to apply to more $dbh methods.
Changed DBI_TRACE env var so just does this at load time:
DBI->trace(split '=', $ENV{DBI_TRACE}, 2);
Improved "invalid number of parameters" error message.
Added DBI::common as base class for DBI::db, DBD::st etc.
Moved methods common to all handles into DBI::common.
Major tracing enhancement:
Added $h->parse_trace_flags("foo|SQL|7") to map a group of
trace flags into the corresponding trace flag bits.
Added automatic calling of parse_trace_flags() if
setting the trace level to a non-numeric value:
$h->{TraceLevel}="foo|SQL|7"; $h->trace("foo|SQL|7");

Added dbivport.h for driver authors to use.
Major driver additions that Jeff Zucker and I have been working on:
Added DBI::SQL::Nano a 'smaller than micro' SQL parser

of SQL::Statement, unless the DBI_SQL_NANO env var is true.
Added DBD::File, modified to use DBI::SQL::Nano.
Added DBD::DBM, an SQL interface to DBM files using DBD::File.
Documentation changes:
Corrected typos in docs thanks to Steffen Goeldner.
Corrected execute_for_fetch example thanks to Dean Arnold.
by moving the inclusion of buildlink3.mk files outside of the protected
region. This bug would be seen by users that have set PREFER_PKGSRC
or PREFER_NATIVE to non-default values.
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES should be ordered so that for any package in the
list, that package doesn't depend on any packages to the left of it
in the list. This ordering property is used to check for builtin
packages in the correct order. The problem was that including a
buildlink3.mk file for <pkg> correctly ensured that <pkg> was removed
from BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and appended to the end. However, since the
inclusion of any other buildlink3.mk files within that buildlink3.mk
was in a region that was protected against multiple inclusion, those
dependencies weren't also moved to the end of BUILDLINK_PACKAGES.
Perl >= 5.6.0 is required now, so update buildlink2.mk and buildlink3.mk.
Add missing build-time dependence on Test::More (ie, Test::Simple).
Changes since 1.37
==================
CHANGES in DBI 1.41 (svn rev 130), 22nd February 2004
Fixed execute_for_array() so tuple_status parameter is optional
as per docs, thanks to Ed Avis.
Fixed execute_for_array() docs to say that it returns undef if
any of the execute() calls fail.
Fixed take_imp_data() test on m68k reported by Christian Hammers.
Fixed write_typeinfo_pm inconsistencies in DBI::DBD::Metadata
thanks to Andy Hassall.
Fixed $h->{TraceLevel} to not return DBI->trace trace level
which it used to if DBI->trace trace level was higher.
Changed set_err() to append to errstr, with a leading "\n" if it's
not empty, so that multiple error/warning messages are recorded.
Changed trace to limit elements dumped when an array reference is
returned from a method to the max(40, $DBI::neat_maxlen/10)
so that fetchall_arrayref(), for example, doesn't flood the trace.
Changed trace level to be a four bit integer (levels 0 thru 15)
and a set of topic flags (no topics have been assigned yet).
Changed column_info() to check argument count.
Extended bind_param() TYPE attribute specification to imply
standard formating of value, eg SQL_DATE implies 'YYYY-MM-DD'.
Added way for drivers to indicate 'success with info' or 'warning'
by setting err to "0" for warning and "" for information.
Both values are false and so don't trigger RaiseError etc.
Warnings (err="0") are automatically printed if PrintError is set.
Thanks to Steffen Goeldner for the original idea.
Added $h->{HandleSetErr} = sub { ... } to be called at the
point that an error, warn, or info state is recorded.
The code can alter the err, errstr, and state values
(e.g., to promote an error to a warning, or the reverse).
Added $h->{PrintWarn} attribute to enable printing of warnings
recorded by the driver. Defaults to same value as $^W (perl -w).
Added $h->{ErrCount} attribute, incremented whenever an error is
recorded by the driver via set_err().
Added $h->{Executed} attribute, set if do()/execute() called.
Added \%attr parameter to foreign_key_info() method.
Added ref count of inner handle to "DESTROY ignored for outer" msg.
Added Win32 build config checks to DBI::DBD thanks to Andy Hassall.
Added bind_col to Driver.xst so drivers can define their own.
Added TYPE attribute to bind_col and specified the expected
driver behaviour.
Major update to signal handling docs thanks to Lincoln Baxter.
Corrected dbiproxy usage doc thanks to Christian Hammers.
Corrected type_info_all index hash docs thanks to Steffen Goeldner.
Corrected type_info COLUMN_SIZE to chars not bytes thanks to Dean Arnold.
Corrected get_info() docs to include details of DBI::Const::GetInfoType.
Clarified that $sth->{PRECISION} is OCTET_LENGTH for char types.
Changes in DBI 1.40, 7th January 2004
Fixed handling of CachedKids when DESTROYing threaded handles.
Fixed sql_user_name() in DBI::DBD::Metadata (used by write_getinfo_pm)
to use $dbh->{Username}. Driver authors please update your code.
Changed connect_cached() when running under Apache::DBI
to route calls to Apache::DBI::connect().
Added CLONE() to DBD::Sponge and DBD::ExampleP.
Added warning when starting a new thread about any loaded driver
which does not have a CLONE() function.
Added new prepare_cache($sql, \%attr, 3) option to manage Active handles.
Added SCALE and NULLABLE support to DBD::Sponge.
Added missing execute() in fetchall_hashref docs thanks to Iain Truskett.
Added a CONTRIBUTING section to the docs with notes on creating patches.
Changes in DBI 1.39, 27th November 2003
Fixed STORE to not clear error during nested DBI call, again/better,
thanks to Tony Bowden for the report and helpful test case.
Fixed DBI dispatch to not try to use AUTOLOAD for driver methods unless
the method has been declared (as methods should be when using AUTOLOAD).
This fixes a problem when the Attribute::Handlers module is loaded.
Fixed cwd check code to use $Config{path_sep} thanks to Steve Hay.
Fixed unqualified croak() calls thanks to Steffen Goeldner.
Fixed DBD::ExampleP TYPE and PRECISION attributes thanks to Tom Lowery.
Fixed tracing of methods that only get traced at high trace levels.
The level 1 trace no longer includes nested method calls so it generally
just shows the methods the application explicitly calls.
Added line to trace log (level>=4) when err/errstr is cleared.
Updated docs for InactiveDestroy and point out where and when the
trace includes the process id.
Update DBI::DBD docs thanks to Steffen Goeldner.
Removed docs saying that the DBI->data_sources method could be
passed a $dbh. The $dbh->data_sources method should be used instead.
Added link to 'DBI recipes' thanks to Giuseppe Maxia:
http://gmax.oltrelinux.com/dbirecipes.html (note that this
is not an endorsement that the recipies are 'optimal')
Note: There is a bug in perl 5.8.2 when configured with threads
and debugging enabled (bug #24463) which causes a DBI test to fail.
Changes in DBI 1.38, 21th August 2003
NOTE: The DBI now requires perl version 5.6.0 or later.
(As per notice in DBI 1.33 released 27th February 2003)

Fixed small memory leak when using $sth->{NAME..._hash}.
Fixed 64bit warnings thanks to Marian Jancar.
Fixed DBD::Proxy::db::DESTROY to not alter $@ thanks to Keith Chapman.
Fixed Makefile.PL status from WriteMakefile() thanks to Leon Brocard.
Changed "Can't set ...->{Foo}: unrecognised attribute" from an error to a
warning when running with DBI::ProxyServer to simplify upgrades.
Changed execute_array() to no longer require ArrayTupleStatus attribute.
Changed DBI->available_drivers to not hide DBD::Sponge.
Updated/moved placeholder docs to a better place thanks to Johan Vromans.
Changed dbd_db_do4 api in Driver.xst to match dbd_st_execute (return int,
not bool), relevant only to driver authors.
Changed neat(), and thus trace(), so strings marked as utf8 are presented
in double quotes instead of single quotes and are not sanitized.
Added $dbh->data_sources method.
Added $dbh->last_insert_id method.
Added $sth->execute_for_fetch($fetch_tuple_sub, \@tuple_status) method.
Added DBI->installed_versions thanks to Jeff Zucker.
Added $DBI::Profile::ON_DESTROY_DUMP variable.
Added docs for DBD::Sponge thanks to Mark Stosberg.
