2 2
31.0 3 - aio_scandir errornously called callback twice in some cases.
4 - added AnyEvent example.
5
61.61 Wed Sep 7 19:40:42 CEST 2005
7 - no longer include $Config{libs}, as distros include too much
8 garbage in there that is not installed on typical systems
9 (for example, debian links perl against -lgdbm and many more
10 libraries despite perl not needing it, slowing down startup and
11 wasting memory).
12
131.6 Tue Aug 30 17:44:44 CEST 2005
14 - added aio_readdir, aio_scandir.
15 - added aio_sendfile, including sendfile emulation when sendfile
16 isn't available. Linux, FreeBSD and HP-UX might work (sendfilev
17 support is unavailable on my solaris 8 machine, but preliminary
18 code is there. What's lacking is configury stuff and testing...).
19
201.5 Sat Aug 20 02:32:19 CEST 2005
21 - create the aio threads on demand only (good after forking).
22 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should
23 be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones.
24 - abort when the configure script fails.
25
261.4 Wed Aug 17 08:07:27 CEST 2005
27 - forget to recreate the pipe after forking, this could cause
28 deadlocks.
29
301.3 Wed Aug 17 07:25:54 CEST 2005
31 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
32 eating them.
33 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback
34 invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes.
35 - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong
36 length after reading.
37 - fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests
38 from the parent.
39 - make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon
40 (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes.
41 - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write.
42 - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data
43 scalar for better error reporting.
44
451.2 Wed Aug 17 01:22:58 CEST 2005
46 - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris.
47 - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to
48 the external filename encoding first.
49 - fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again).
50 - clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away
51 with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS.
52 - fork'ing should now be officially supported (where linux and
53 posix contradict each other, I followed posix).
54 - only call read() once per poll, not twice (speedup).
55 - new functions: aio_rmdir, aio_symlink.
56 - force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better
57 error catching.
58
591.1 Sun Aug 7 05:27:23 CEST 2005
60 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls.
61 (imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due to missing
62 feedback yet).
63 - emulate fdatasync via fsync, pread/pwrite via unsafe read/write
64 and readahead via manual reading on platforms lacking those.
65 - ported t/03_errors.t+framework by Brad Fitzpatrick
66 from Linux::AIO.
67 - removed XOPEN_SOURCE because stupid solaris 9 doesn't
68 compile with it enabled. Probably breaks others. Oh well.
69 - try to be more careful with errno on non-threaded perls.
70 - cygwins perl insisted on a matching open mode when morphing
71 the fd to an fh.
72 - convert sv's to "byte" encoding in aio_read/aio_write. Might
73 do that for pathnames, too, in the future, so make sure you
74 properly encode your pathnames.
75
761.0 Fri Jul 22 10:43:30 CEST 2005
4 - aio_open did not reliably deliver filehandles. 77 - aio_open did not reliably deliver (open) filehandles.
5 - all aio_*-functions keep a reference to the filehandle so 78 - all aio_*-functions keep a reference to the filehandle so
6 it doesn't go away while the aio requests is working on it. 79 it doesn't go away while the aio requests is working on it.
7 - disable warnings in AIO.pm. 80 - disable warnings in AIO.pm.
