2 root 1.30
3 root 1.33 1.3
4     - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
5     eating them.
6 root 1.37 - be more careful during fork and allow recursive forks from within
7     atfork handlers *iff* the pthreads library in use allows it.
8     - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong
9     length after reading.
10     - fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests
11     from the parent.
12     - make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon
13     (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes.
14     - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write.
15 root 1.33
16 root 1.32 1.2 Wed Aug 17 01:22:58 CEST 2005
17     - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris.
18 root 1.31 - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to
19     the external filename encoding first.
20 root 1.32 - fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again).
21 root 1.31 - clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away
22     with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS.
23     - fork'ing should now be officially supported (where linux and
24     posix contradict each other, I followed posix).
25 root 1.32 - only call read() once per poll, not twice (speedup).
26     - new functions: aio_rmdir, aio_symlink.
27 root 1.31 - force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better
28     error catching.
29 root 1.1
30 root 1.29 1.1 Sun Aug 7 05:27:23 CEST 2005
31 root 1.25 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls.
32 root 1.27 (imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due to missing
33 root 1.23 feedback yet).
34 root 1.27 - emulate fdatasync via fsync, pread/pwrite via unsafe read/write
35     and readahead via manual reading on platforms lacking those.
36 root 1.19 - ported t/03_errors.t+framework by Brad Fitzpatrick
37     from Linux::AIO.
38 root 1.18 - removed XOPEN_SOURCE because stupid solaris 9 doesn't
39     compile with it enabled. Probably breaks others. Oh well.
40 root 1.24 - try to be more careful with errno on non-threaded perls.
41 root 1.26 - cygwins perl insisted on a matching open mode when morphing
42     the fd to an fh.
43 root 1.28 - convert sv's to "byte" encoding in aio_read/aio_write. Might
44     do that for pathnames, too, in the future, so make sure you
45     properly encode your pathnames.
46 root 1.18
47 root 1.17 1.0 Fri Jul 22 10:43:30 CEST 2005
48     - aio_open did not reliably deliver (open) filehandles.
49 root 1.16 - all aio_*-functions keep a reference to the filehandle so
50     it doesn't go away while the aio requests is working on it.
51     - disable warnings in AIO.pm.
52    
53 root 1.15 0.9 Wed Jul 20 23:55:04 CEST 2005
54     - allow recursive calls to poll_cb, use less locking calls, too.
55     - fix the Gtk2-example in the SYNOPSIS.
56 root 1.14 - use pread/pwrite not pread64/pwrite64. this was simply a leftover
57     from Linux::AIO.
58     (found by compiling on cygwin. Unfortunately, cygwin declares but
59     does not implement pread/pwrite).
60     - only include <sys/syscall.h> on linux.
61    
62 root 1.13 0.5 Tue Jul 12 13:03:09 CEST 2005
63 root 1.12 - removed #include <endian.h>, it's not portable, and we don't
64     need it anyway.
65     - link against -lrt, as it might contain goodies such as fdatasync,
66     and often aio_read, which we do not use yet, but it shouldn't hurt.
67    
68 root 1.11 0.4 Mon Jul 11 05:28:25 CEST 2005
69 root 1.9 - added IO::AIO::flush, IO::AIO::poll.
70 root 1.10 - make callback argument optional for all calls.
71 root 1.8
72 root 1.7 0.3 Mon Jul 11 01:42:37 CEST 2005
73 root 1.5 - restructured manpage.
74 root 1.7 - added SYNOPSIS with examples for Event, Glib, Tk.
75     - remove explicit context support so I don't have to maintain
76     it for threaded perls (i.e. it should work now :).
77 root 1.5
78 root 1.4 0.2 Sun Jul 10 22:57:12 CEST 2005
79 root 1.2 - return immediately from poll_wait if nreqs==0.
80     - get rid of the request pipe and use faster thread-thread
81 root 1.3 communications for most requests and responses.
82 root 1.2
83 root 1.1 0.1
84     - cloned from Linux::AIO, which is very similar.
