2 2
31.2 3TODO: better autoconf.pm that can return LIBS etc.
4 - fix another bug where filehandles could leak. 4
52.0
6 - aio functions now return control block objects that
7 can be used to cancel requests.
8 - aio requests can be cancelled.
9 - add aio_group: aio requests can be grouped.
10 - add aio_sleep mainly for benchmarking and debugging.
11
121.8 Sat Jun 24 22:20:44 CEST 2006
13 - add and/or document aio_rename, aio_link, aio_symlink and aio_move.
14
151.73 Wed Mar 1 22:49:32 CET 2006
16 - codename "jost"
17 - AIX/Solaris(?) aren't being helpful again, hardcode a value
18 for NAME_MAX and drive with your eyes closed (reported by
19 wcooley@nakedape.cc).
20
211.72 Thu Feb 2 00:40:44 CET 2006
22 - another minor bug in aio_scandir, again, the callback was called
23 twice when the directory can't be stat'ed.
24
251.71 Mon Dec 26 20:20:03 CET 2005
26 - grr, another minor bug in aio_scandir, this time resulting
27 in a runtime error.
28
291.7 Mon Dec 26 19:29:48 CET 2005
30 - aio_scandir errornously called callback twice in some cases.
31 - added AnyEvent example.
32
331.61 Wed Sep 7 19:40:42 CEST 2005
34 - no longer include $Config{libs}, as distros include too much
35 garbage in there that is not installed on typical systems
36 (for example, debian links perl against -lgdbm and many more
37 libraries despite perl not needing it, slowing down startup and
38 wasting memory).
39
401.6 Tue Aug 30 17:44:44 CEST 2005
41 - added aio_readdir, aio_scandir.
42 - added aio_sendfile, including sendfile emulation when sendfile
43 isn't available. Linux, FreeBSD and HP-UX might work (sendfilev
44 support is unavailable on my solaris 8 machine, but preliminary
45 code is there. What's lacking is configury stuff and testing...).
46
471.5 Sat Aug 20 02:32:19 CEST 2005
48 - create the aio threads on demand only (good after forking).
49 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should
50 be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones.
51 - abort when the configure script fails.
52
531.4 Wed Aug 17 08:07:27 CEST 2005
54 - forget to recreate the pipe after forking, this could cause
55 deadlocks.
56
571.3 Wed Aug 17 07:25:54 CEST 2005
58 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
59 eating them.
60 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback
61 invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes.
62 - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong
63 length after reading.
64 - fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests
65 from the parent.
66 - make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon
67 (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes.
68 - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write.
69 - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data
70 scalar for better error reporting.
71
721.2 Wed Aug 17 01:22:58 CEST 2005
73 - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris.
5 - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to 74 - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to
6 the external filename encoding first. 75 the external filename encoding first.
76 - fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again).
7 - clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away 77 - clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away
8 with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS. 78 with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS.
9 - fork'ing should now be officially supported (where linux and 79 - fork'ing should now be officially supported (where linux and
10 posix contradict each other, I followed posix). 80 posix contradict each other, I followed posix).
11 - only call read() once per poll, not twice. 81 - only call read() once per poll, not twice (speedup).
12 - add aio_rmdir, aio_symlink. 82 - new functions: aio_rmdir, aio_symlink.
13 - force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better 83 - force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better
14 error catching. 84 error catching.
