78 root 1.260 3.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
79 root 1.253 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
80     kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
81     bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
82 root 1.254 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
83 root 1.260 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
84 root 1.254 transferred...)
85 root 1.255 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
86 root 1.256 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
87 root 1.257 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
88     pthread and fork in perl.
89 root 1.258 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
90     this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
91 root 1.259 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
92     run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
93 root 1.252
94 root 1.251 3.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011

102     - support a max_idle value of 0.
103 root 1.246 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
104 root 1.245
105     3.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
106 root 1.248 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
107 root 1.244 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
108 root 1.242 - new treescan option: --grep.
109 root 1.244 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
110 root 1.241
111 root 1.240 3.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
112     - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
113     correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
114 root 1.239 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
115     _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
116     funcitonality. ugh.
117    
118 root 1.238 3.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
119     - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,

122     - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
123     (openbsd 4.8).

125     had string-data.
126 root 1.238 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
127 root 1.228 them.
128 root 1.230 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
129 root 1.231 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
130     user-errors better.
131 root 1.237 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
132 root 1.228
133 root 1.227 3.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
134 root 1.225 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
135     cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
136     Rasmus Andersson).
137 root 1.227 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
138     by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
139     - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
140     with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
141     affects IO::AIO and BDB.
142 root 1.225
143 root 1.224 3.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
144 root 1.219 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by

146     kernel sources.
147 root 1.222 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
148 root 1.220 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.

153     - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
154 root 1.215 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
155 root 1.216 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
156 root 1.217 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
157     they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
158 root 1.214
159 root 1.213 3.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
160 root 1.209 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.

174     - use common schmorp.h header.
175     - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
176 root 1.203 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).

178 root 1.202
179 root 1.201 3.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009

181 root 1.200
182 root 1.199 3.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
183 root 1.207 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
184     try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
185     way. might help other os's too.
186 root 1.199
187 root 1.198 3.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
188 root 1.197 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
189 root 1.195 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
190     sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
191     faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
192     degenerated (for quicksort) data.
193     - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
194 root 1.194 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
195 root 1.195 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
196     known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
197     - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
198     but should not have been.
199 root 1.196 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
200     which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
201 root 1.194
202 root 1.193 3.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
203     - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
204     rushed 3.22 release.
205    
206 root 1.192 3.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
207 root 1.191 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
208 root 1.192 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
209 root 1.191
210 root 1.190 3.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
211 root 1.187 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
212 root 1.188 - install bin/treescan by default.
213 root 1.189 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
214 root 1.190 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
215     to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
216     - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
217     the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
218     a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
219     stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
220 root 1.187
221 root 1.186 3.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
222 root 1.182 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
223     not restore the file offset.
224 root 1.183 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
225     the names in various ways.
226 root 1.182 - unfortunately, utime, chmod, chown on an open file that has just
227     been written can easily block, which caused aio_copy to block the
228     process. no more!
229     - no longer rely on dst path in aio_copy when futime is available.
230    
231 root 1.181 3.19 Tue Apr 21 22:05:21 CEST 2009
232     - more perl 5.10 workarounds for aio_read and write.
233     - aio_write no longer modifies the sv (if possible).
234     - aio_read now works correctly with magic values.
235    
236 root 1.180 3.18 Sun Apr 19 21:17:32 CEST 2009
237 root 1.179 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh.
238 root 1.180 - try to avoid crashes due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. grmbl.
239 root 1.178
240 root 1.177 3.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008
241 root 1.176 - (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested).
242 root 1.177 - add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ.
243 root 1.175
244 root 1.174 3.16 Wed Oct 22 18:28:01 CEST 2008
245 root 1.173 - use SvREFCNT_inc instead of SvREFCNT_inc_NN in a non-speed critical
246     part to improve portability to perl 5.8 (reported by szymon).
247    
248 root 1.172 3.15 Mon Oct 13 00:39:55 CEST 2008
249 root 1.171 - automatic removal of feeders was broken.
250     - (libeio) use a more robust method to detect whether a feeder
251     has added something to the group or not.
252    
253 root 1.170 3.1 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
254 root 1.168 - pre-deref the passed callback object, for increased speed
255     and decreased memory usage.
256 root 1.167 - call on_next_submit callback even for aio_group - impact unknown,
257 root 1.166 but seems more correct.
258 root 1.168 - $req->cb now returns the original callback.
259 root 1.166 - (libeio) pass EIO_GROUP/aio_group requests through the queue without
260     requiring a thread switch.
261 root 1.169 - (libeio) status code of aio_futime and aio_utime was always passed 0.
262 root 1.166 - do some other µ-optimisations.
263    
264 root 1.165 3.07 Sat Aug 2 16:06:13 CEST 2008
265     - do not include LIBS in autoconf tests.
266    
267 root 1.164 3.06 Tue Jul 15 12:41:32 CEST 2008
268 root 1.162 - move preadwritelock definition before it's first reference,
269 root 1.164 to make it compile again on broken platforms (they still exist)
270     or badly cofngiured perls (redhat...), reported by Rob Bloodgood.
271 root 1.162
272 root 1.161 3.05 Thu Jun 19 23:23:52 CEST 2008
273 root 1.160 - work around perl overriding readdir etc. with thread-unsafe
274 root 1.161 (sic!) versions.
275 root 1.160
276 root 1.159 3.04 Wed Jun 18 01:35:38 CEST 2008
277     - (libeio) fix eio_mknod, which confused it's arguments.
278 root 1.158 - (libeio) do not use readdir_r, as Ulrich Drepper pointed out that this
279     is stupid.
280 root 1.159 - (libeio) fix eio__readahead prototype, patch by Jost Krieger.
281     - (libeio) fix a bug that could potentially cause IO::AIO
282     not to get initialised properly.
283 root 1.158
284 root 1.157 3.03 Thu May 29 05:33:30 CEST 2008

290 root 1.153
291 root 1.152 3.02 Mon May 12 02:32:02 CEST 2008
292 root 1.150 - fix a memory leak on aio_readlink.
293     - bring back working fchmod.
294 root 1.151 - nop and busy now set result to 0.
295     - set errno to ENOMEM when allocation fails.
296 root 1.150
297 root 1.149 3.01 Sun May 11 03:07:03 CEST 2008
298     - (libeio) make it compile on systems without readahead or readdir_r.
299 root 1.148 - (libeio) improve configure check for readahead availability.
300     - do not try to link against -lrt.
301 root 1.147 - use a separate configure script for IO::AIO (not the libeio one).
302    
303 root 1.146 3.0 Sun May 11 00:57:14 CEST 2008
304 root 1.145 - added bin/treescan to the distribution.
305     - switched to using libeio.
306     - LOTS OF INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
307     - remove signal functionality, it is not worth the effort.
308     - max_outstanding no longer returns the previous number of requests.
309     - poll_cb no longer returns number of requests.
310 root 1.143
311 root 1.142 2.62 Sat Apr 26 13:59:33 CEST 2008
312 root 1.141 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
313     (analysed by Jost Krieger).
314 root 1.142 - keep a reference to the perl filehandle object in aio_close,
315     so it doesn't get closed prematurely, leading to ugly races.
316 root 1.141
317 root 1.140 2.61 Wed Apr 16 18:45:02 CEST 2008
318 root 1.137 - fix treescan output duplication and improve output ordering.
319     also display files given on the commandline.
320 root 1.140 - use a different algorithm for aio_close that is faster
321     and probably has even lower chances of blocking.
322 root 1.138 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
323     allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
324     use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
325 root 1.139 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
326     and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
327 root 1.137
328 root 1.136 2.6 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
329 root 1.134 - added aio_sync.
330 root 1.135 - added aio_pathsync.
331 root 1.136 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
332 root 1.134
333 root 1.133 2.51 Sat Oct 6 16:04:54 CEST 2007
334     - perlio isn't generally threadsafe, so aio_close could not work reliably.
335     aio_close now tries a safe hack that might not be that asynchronous
336     (see the manpage for details).
337     - discard callback return values as to not grow the stack endlessly
338     when poll_cb handles many requests without returning.
339     - minor code cleanups.
340    
341 root 1.132 2.5 Thu Oct 4 14:49:08 CEST 2007
342 root 1.131 - replaced _fd2fh with faster xs code.
343     - aio_close will now try to do "the right thing" and thus might

345    
346 root 1.130 2.41 Mon Sep 24 21:28:21 CEST 2007
347 root 1.129 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
348     stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
349     it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
350     behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
351    
352 root 1.128 2.4 Sun Aug 5 18:44:22 CEST 2007
353 root 1.127 - add aio_truncate, aio_chmod, aio_chown, aio_utime (linux
354     successfully demonstrated that you can block on futimes...).
355 root 1.124 - allow undef as fileoffset for aio_read/write and use read/write(2)
356     internally (useful for sockets or O_APPEND handles).
357 root 1.126 - allow undef for length in aio_write.
358     - negative dataoffsets work as expected now in aio_read/aio_write.
359 root 1.124 - use NV instead of UV for 32 bit perls and file offsets, as NVs
360 root 1.125 have a larger range then.
361 root 1.120 - shared code between BDB and IO::AIO.
362 root 1.127 - aio_busy was completely broken. now fixed.
363     - readahead emulation now returns something.
364 root 1.121 - correctly set errno to ENOSYS on unimplemented functions
365     (should never happen, though).
366 root 1.127 - large changes to make it partially compile and run on win32,
367     but win32 lacks too much functionality, and perl overrides way
368     too many functions with crashing versions.
369 root 1.120
370 root 1.119 2.33 Tue Jan 23 23:55:41 CET 2007
371     - fix install path (Andreas J. Koenig).
372    
373 root 1.118 2.32 Mon Jan 22 16:56:23 CET 2007
374 root 1.114 - added aio_rmtree.
375 root 1.115 - wow, aio_mkdir was missing.
376 root 1.116 - aio_load did return undef on error, not -1.
377 root 1.117 - use prefixexp not prefix in autoconf.pm
378     (suggested by ... rt.cpan.org unreachable).
379 root 1.118 - avoid installing autoconf.pm.
380 root 1.114
381 root 1.113 2.31 Sat Jan 6 03:46:02 CET 2007
382 root 1.112 - added aio_load.
383    
384 root 1.111 2.3 Sat Dec 23 05:48:07 CET 2006

387    
388 root 1.110 2.21 Fri Dec 22 05:03:38 CET 2006

397     - properly zero-terminate aio_read buffer.
398     - fix aio_read/write with nonzero dataoffset.
399 root 1.104 - reduced size of aio request structure.
400 root 1.106 - better diagnostics when pathnames etc. are not byte-encoded;
401 root 1.105 do not leak request in that case, either.
402 root 1.94
403 root 1.99 2.1 Sun Oct 29 02:01:57 CET 2006
404 root 1.98 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace IO::AIO::poll_some by
405     IO::AIO::max_poll_reqs and IO::AIO::max_poll_time.
406 root 1.95 - fix a bug in aio_move where it would fail everytime
407     it would have to copy files manually.
408 root 1.98 - doc updates.
409 root 1.94 - start threads only on (very low) demand.
410 root 1.97 - end superfluous threads automatically after 10s idling.
411 root 1.98 - add IO::AIO::max_idle to control this.
412 root 1.94 - some tuning applied to random places.
413 root 1.95 - add aio_mknod.
414 root 1.59
415 root 1.92 2.0 Thu Oct 26 18:27:58 CEST 2006
416 root 1.90 - minor incompatibility: max_outstanding semantics have changed.
417 root 1.86 - major rewrite, consider all functionality EXPERIMENTAL.
418 root 1.68 - aio requests can be cancelled.
419 root 1.81 - callbacks can be (re-)set later.
420 root 1.93 - aio requests can choose between 9 priorities.
421 root 1.83 - add aio_group: aio requests can be grouped
422     into composite requests.
423     - generator interface for groups.
424 root 1.89 - add IO::AIO::poll_some.
425 root 1.72 - major documentation improvements.
426     - very minor bugfixes.
427 root 1.76 - add aio_nop for dummy requests.
428 root 1.84 - add aio_busy mainly for benchmarking and debugging.
429 root 1.79 - use "fast" mutexes on linux.
430 root 1.80 - use dynamic (and larger) buffers instead of
431     putting them onto the stack.
432     - optimise x86 and amd64 a bit.
433     - better error checking when ENOMEM.
434 root 1.85 - hopefully fix mem and dirp leaks on fork.
435 root 1.92 - warn about broken perl malloc.
436 root 1.88 - compiles on cygwin (but pread is broken on cygwin
437     which is not detected by autoconf, so you have to
438     edit autoconf/config.h yourself to enable emulation).
439 root 1.68
440 root 1.67 1.8 Sat Jun 24 22:20:44 CEST 2006
441 root 1.66 - add and/or document aio_rename, aio_link, aio_symlink and aio_move.
442    
443 root 1.65 1.73 Wed Mar 1 22:49:32 CET 2006
444     - codename "jost"
445     - AIX/Solaris(?) aren't being helpful again, hardcode a value
446     for NAME_MAX and drive with your eyes closed (reported by
447     wcooley@nakedape.cc).
448 root 1.63
449 root 1.62 1.72 Thu Feb 2 00:40:44 CET 2006
450 root 1.61 - another minor bug in aio_scandir, again, the callback was called
451     twice when the directory can't be stat'ed.
452    
453 root 1.60 1.71 Mon Dec 26 20:20:03 CET 2005
454     - grr, another minor bug in aio_scandir, this time resulting
455     in a runtime error.
456    
457 root 1.59 1.7 Mon Dec 26 19:29:48 CET 2005
458 root 1.58 - aio_scandir errornously called callback twice in some cases.
459 root 1.57 - added AnyEvent example.
460    
461 root 1.55 1.61 Wed Sep 7 19:40:42 CEST 2005
462 root 1.54 - no longer include $Config{libs}, as distros include too much
463 root 1.56 garbage in there that is not installed on typical systems
464 root 1.54 (for example, debian links perl against -lgdbm and many more
465     libraries despite perl not needing it, slowing down startup and
466     wasting memory).
467    
468 root 1.53 1.6 Tue Aug 30 17:44:44 CEST 2005
469     - added aio_readdir, aio_scandir.
470 root 1.51 - added aio_sendfile, including sendfile emulation when sendfile
471     isn't available. Linux, FreeBSD and HP-UX might work (sendfilev
472     support is unavailable on my solaris 8 machine, but preliminary
473     code is there. What's lacking is configury stuff and testing...).
474 root 1.46
475 root 1.44 1.5 Sat Aug 20 02:32:19 CEST 2005
476 root 1.51 - create the aio threads on demand only (good after forking).
477 root 1.41 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should
478 root 1.42 be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones.
479 root 1.43 - abort when the configure script fails.
480 root 1.41
481 root 1.40 1.4 Wed Aug 17 08:07:27 CEST 2005
482 root 1.93 - forgot to recreate the pipe after forking, this could cause
483 root 1.40 deadlocks.
484    
485 root 1.39 1.3 Wed Aug 17 07:25:54 CEST 2005
486 root 1.33 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
487     eating them.
488 root 1.38 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback
489     invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes.
490 root 1.37 - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong
491     length after reading.
492     - fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests
493     from the parent.
494     - make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon
495     (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes.
496     - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write.
497 root 1.38 - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data
498     scalar for better error reporting.
499 root 1.33
500 root 1.32 1.2 Wed Aug 17 01:22:58 CEST 2005
501     - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris.
502 root 1.31 - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to
503     the external filename encoding first.
504 root 1.32 - fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again).
505 root 1.31 - clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away
506     with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS.
507     - fork'ing should now be officially supported (where linux and
508     posix contradict each other, I followed posix).
509 root 1.32 - only call read() once per poll, not twice (speedup).
510     - new functions: aio_rmdir, aio_symlink.
511 root 1.31 - force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better
512     error catching.
513 root 1.1
514 root 1.29 1.1 Sun Aug 7 05:27:23 CEST 2005
515 root 1.25 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls.
516 root 1.27 (imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due to missing
517 root 1.23 feedback yet).
518 root 1.27 - emulate fdatasync via fsync, pread/pwrite via unsafe read/write
519     and readahead via manual reading on platforms lacking those.
520 root 1.19 - ported t/03_errors.t+framework by Brad Fitzpatrick
521     from Linux::AIO.
522 root 1.18 - removed XOPEN_SOURCE because stupid solaris 9 doesn't
523     compile with it enabled. Probably breaks others. Oh well.
524 root 1.24 - try to be more careful with errno on non-threaded perls.
525 root 1.26 - cygwins perl insisted on a matching open mode when morphing
526     the fd to an fh.
527 root 1.28 - convert sv's to "byte" encoding in aio_read/aio_write. Might
528     do that for pathnames, too, in the future, so make sure you
529     properly encode your pathnames.
530 root 1.18
531 root 1.17 1.0 Fri Jul 22 10:43:30 CEST 2005
532     - aio_open did not reliably deliver (open) filehandles.
533 root 1.16 - all aio_*-functions keep a reference to the filehandle so
534     it doesn't go away while the aio requests is working on it.
535     - disable warnings in AIO.pm.
536    
537 root 1.15 0.9 Wed Jul 20 23:55:04 CEST 2005
538     - allow recursive calls to poll_cb, use less locking calls, too.
539     - fix the Gtk2-example in the SYNOPSIS.
540 root 1.14 - use pread/pwrite not pread64/pwrite64. this was simply a leftover
541     from Linux::AIO.
542     (found by compiling on cygwin. Unfortunately, cygwin declares but
543     does not implement pread/pwrite).
544     - only include <sys/syscall.h> on linux.
545    
546 root 1.13 0.5 Tue Jul 12 13:03:09 CEST 2005
547 root 1.12 - removed #include <endian.h>, it's not portable, and we don't
548     need it anyway.
549     - link against -lrt, as it might contain goodies such as fdatasync,
550     and often aio_read, which we do not use yet, but it shouldn't hurt.
551    
552 root 1.11 0.4 Mon Jul 11 05:28:25 CEST 2005
553 root 1.9 - added IO::AIO::flush, IO::AIO::poll.
554 root 1.10 - make callback argument optional for all calls.
555 root 1.8
556 root 1.7 0.3 Mon Jul 11 01:42:37 CEST 2005
557 root 1.5 - restructured manpage.
558 root 1.7 - added SYNOPSIS with examples for Event, Glib, Tk.
559     - remove explicit context support so I don't have to maintain
560     it for threaded perls (i.e. it should work now :).
561 root 1.5
562 root 1.4 0.2 Sun Jul 10 22:57:12 CEST 2005
563 root 1.2 - return immediately from poll_wait if nreqs==0.
564     - get rid of the request pipe and use faster thread-thread
565 root 1.3 communications for most requests and responses.
566 root 1.2
567 root 1.1 0.1
568     - cloned from Linux::AIO, which is very similar.
569
