31.0 3TODO: better autoconf.pm that can return LIBS etc.
4
51.73 Wed Mar 1 22:49:32 CET 2006
6 - codename "jost"
7 - AIX/Solaris(?) aren't being helpful again, hardcode a value
8 for NAME_MAX and drive with your eyes closed (reported by
9 wcooley@nakedape.cc).
10
111.72 Thu Feb 2 00:40:44 CET 2006
12 - another minor bug in aio_scandir, again, the callback was called
13 twice when the directory can't be stat'ed.
14
151.71 Mon Dec 26 20:20:03 CET 2005
16 - grr, another minor bug in aio_scandir, this time resulting
17 in a runtime error.
18
191.7 Mon Dec 26 19:29:48 CET 2005
20 - aio_scandir errornously called callback twice in some cases.
21 - added AnyEvent example.
22
231.61 Wed Sep 7 19:40:42 CEST 2005
24 - no longer include $Config{libs}, as distros include too much
25 garbage in there that is not installed on typical systems
26 (for example, debian links perl against -lgdbm and many more
27 libraries despite perl not needing it, slowing down startup and
28 wasting memory).
29
301.6 Tue Aug 30 17:44:44 CEST 2005
31 - added aio_readdir, aio_scandir.
32 - added aio_sendfile, including sendfile emulation when sendfile
33 isn't available. Linux, FreeBSD and HP-UX might work (sendfilev
34 support is unavailable on my solaris 8 machine, but preliminary
35 code is there. What's lacking is configury stuff and testing...).
36
371.5 Sat Aug 20 02:32:19 CEST 2005
38 - create the aio threads on demand only (good after forking).
39 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should
40 be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones.
41 - abort when the configure script fails.
42
431.4 Wed Aug 17 08:07:27 CEST 2005
44 - forget to recreate the pipe after forking, this could cause
45 deadlocks.
46
471.3 Wed Aug 17 07:25:54 CEST 2005
48 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
49 eating them.
50 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback
51 invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes.
52 - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong
53 length after reading.
54 - fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests
55 from the parent.
56 - make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon
57 (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes.
58 - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write.
59 - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data
60 scalar for better error reporting.
61
621.2 Wed Aug 17 01:22:58 CEST 2005
63 - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris.
64 - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to
65 the external filename encoding first.
66 - fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again).
67 - clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away
68 with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS.
69 - fork'ing should now be officially supported (where linux and
70 posix contradict each other, I followed posix).
71 - only call read() once per poll, not twice (speedup).
72 - new functions: aio_rmdir, aio_symlink.
73 - force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better
74 error catching.
75
761.1 Sun Aug 7 05:27:23 CEST 2005
77 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls.
78 (imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due to missing
79 feedback yet).
80 - emulate fdatasync via fsync, pread/pwrite via unsafe read/write
81 and readahead via manual reading on platforms lacking those.
82 - ported t/03_errors.t+framework by Brad Fitzpatrick
83 from Linux::AIO.
84 - removed XOPEN_SOURCE because stupid solaris 9 doesn't
85 compile with it enabled. Probably breaks others. Oh well.
86 - try to be more careful with errno on non-threaded perls.
87 - cygwins perl insisted on a matching open mode when morphing
88 the fd to an fh.
89 - convert sv's to "byte" encoding in aio_read/aio_write. Might
90 do that for pathnames, too, in the future, so make sure you
91 properly encode your pathnames.
92
931.0 Fri Jul 22 10:43:30 CEST 2005
4 - aio_open did not reliably deliver filehandles. 94 - aio_open did not reliably deliver (open) filehandles.
5 - all aio_*-functions keep a reference to the filehandle so 95 - all aio_*-functions keep a reference to the filehandle so
6 it doesn't go away while the aio requests is working on it. 96 it doesn't go away while the aio requests is working on it.
7 - disable warnings in AIO.pm. 97 - disable warnings in AIO.pm.
