1 root 1.31 Revision history for IO::AIO
2 root 1.30
3 root 1.33 1.3
4     - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
5     eating them.
6 root 1.34 - forking while in an atfork handler is now supported, although
7     I am pretty sure some pthread implementations will barf - don't
8 root 1.35 fork in an AIO callback if that is a concern for you, or synchronize
9     for yourself by clearing the request queue first.
10 root 1.33
11 root 1.32 1.2 Wed Aug 17 01:22:58 CEST 2005
12     - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris.
13 root 1.31 - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to
14     the external filename encoding first.
15 root 1.32 - fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again).
16 root 1.31 - clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away
17     with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS.
18     - fork'ing should now be officially supported (where linux and
19     posix contradict each other, I followed posix).
20 root 1.32 - only call read() once per poll, not twice (speedup).
21     - new functions: aio_rmdir, aio_symlink.
22 root 1.31 - force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better
23     error catching.
24 root 1.1
25 root 1.29 1.1 Sun Aug 7 05:27:23 CEST 2005
26 root 1.25 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls.
27 root 1.27 (imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due to missing
28 root 1.23 feedback yet).
29 root 1.27 - emulate fdatasync via fsync, pread/pwrite via unsafe read/write
30     and readahead via manual reading on platforms lacking those.
31 root 1.19 - ported t/03_errors.t+framework by Brad Fitzpatrick
32     from Linux::AIO.
33 root 1.18 - removed XOPEN_SOURCE because stupid solaris 9 doesn't
34     compile with it enabled. Probably breaks others. Oh well.
35 root 1.24 - try to be more careful with errno on non-threaded perls.
36 root 1.26 - cygwins perl insisted on a matching open mode when morphing
37     the fd to an fh.
38 root 1.28 - convert sv's to "byte" encoding in aio_read/aio_write. Might
39     do that for pathnames, too, in the future, so make sure you
40     properly encode your pathnames.
41 root 1.18
42 root 1.17 1.0 Fri Jul 22 10:43:30 CEST 2005
43     - aio_open did not reliably deliver (open) filehandles.
44 root 1.16 - all aio_*-functions keep a reference to the filehandle so
45     it doesn't go away while the aio requests is working on it.
46     - disable warnings in AIO.pm.
47    
48 root 1.15 0.9 Wed Jul 20 23:55:04 CEST 2005
49     - allow recursive calls to poll_cb, use less locking calls, too.
50     - fix the Gtk2-example in the SYNOPSIS.
51 root 1.14 - use pread/pwrite not pread64/pwrite64. this was simply a leftover
52     from Linux::AIO.
53     (found by compiling on cygwin. Unfortunately, cygwin declares but
54     does not implement pread/pwrite).
55     - only include <sys/syscall.h> on linux.
56    
57 root 1.13 0.5 Tue Jul 12 13:03:09 CEST 2005
58 root 1.12 - removed #include <endian.h>, it's not portable, and we don't
59     need it anyway.
60     - link against -lrt, as it might contain goodies such as fdatasync,
61     and often aio_read, which we do not use yet, but it shouldn't hurt.
62    
63 root 1.11 0.4 Mon Jul 11 05:28:25 CEST 2005
64 root 1.9 - added IO::AIO::flush, IO::AIO::poll.
65 root 1.10 - make callback argument optional for all calls.
66 root 1.8
67 root 1.7 0.3 Mon Jul 11 01:42:37 CEST 2005
68 root 1.5 - restructured manpage.
69 root 1.7 - added SYNOPSIS with examples for Event, Glib, Tk.
70     - remove explicit context support so I don't have to maintain
71     it for threaded perls (i.e. it should work now :).
72 root 1.5
73 root 1.4 0.2 Sun Jul 10 22:57:12 CEST 2005
74 root 1.2 - return immediately from poll_wait if nreqs==0.
75     - get rid of the request pipe and use faster thread-thread
76 root 1.3 communications for most requests and responses.
77 root 1.2
78 root 1.1 0.1
79     - cloned from Linux::AIO, which is very similar.
