merged into the 2.5 maintenance branch:
- self->statement was not checked while fetching data, which could
lead to crashes if you used the pysqlite API in unusual ways.
Closing the cursor and continuing to fetch data was enough.
- Converters are stored in a converters dictionary. The converter name
is uppercased first. The old upper-casing algorithm was wrong and
was replaced by a simple call to the Python string's upper() method
instead.
-Applied patch by Glyph Lefkowitz that fixes the problem with
subsequent SQLITE_SCHEMA errors.
- Improvement to the row type: rows can now be iterated over and have a keys()
method. This improves compatibility with both tuple and dict a lot.
- A bugfix for the subsecond resolution in timestamps.
- Corrected the way the flags PARSE_DECLTYPES and PARSE_COLNAMES are
checked for. Now they work as documented.
- gcc on Linux sucks. It exports all symbols by default in shared
libraries, so if symbols are not unique it can lead to problems with
symbol lookup. pysqlite used to crash under Apache when mod_cache
was enabled because both modules had the symbol cache_init. I fixed
this by applying the prefix pysqlite_ almost everywhere. Sigh.
Change the cache for _sys_version() to take the parameter into account.
Add support for parsing the IronPython 1.0.1 sys.version value - even
though it still returns '1.0.0'; the version string no longer includes
the patch level.
Add new API linux_distribution() which supports reading the full distribution
name and also knows how to parse LSB-style release files.
Redirect the old dist() API to the new API (using the short distribution name
taken from the release file filename).
Add branch and revision to _sys_version().
Add work-around for Cygwin to libc_ver().
Add support for IronPython (thanks for Anthony Baxter) and make
Jython support more robust.
the master should close the slave fd.
Added a test to test_pty.py that reads from the master_fd after doing
a pty.fork(); without the fix it hangs forever instead of raising an
exception. (<crossing fingers for the buildbots>)
2.5 backport candidate.
described, and add a test for it.
2.5 bugfix candidate, maybe; arguably this patch changes the API of
dumbdbm and shouldn't be added in a point-release.
Add length checking to single-file mailbox formats: before doing a
flush() on a mailbox, seek to the end and verify its length is
unchanged, raising ExternalClashError if the file's length has
changed.
This fix avoids potential data loss if some other process appends to
the mailbox file after the table of contents has been generated;
instead of overwriting the modified file, you'll get the exception.
I also noticed that the self._lookup() call in self.flush() wasn't
necessary (everything that sets self._pending to True also calls
self.lookup()), and replaced it by an assertion.
2.5 backport candidate.
