9 - use SvREFCNT_inc instead of SvREFCNT_inc_NN in a non-speed critical
10 part to improve portability to perl 5.8 (reported by szymon).
11
123.15 Mon Oct 13 00:39:55 CEST 2008
13 - automatic removal of feeders was broken.
14 - (libeio) use a more robust method to detect whether a feeder
15 has added something to the group or not.
16
173.1 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
18 - pre-deref the passed callback object, for increased speed
19 and decreased memory usage.
20 - call on_next_submit callback even for aio_group - impact unknown,
21 but seems more correct.
22 - $req->cb now returns the original callback.
23 - (libeio) pass EIO_GROUP/aio_group requests through the queue without
24 requiring a thread switch.
25 - (libeio) status code of aio_futime and aio_utime was always passed 0.
26 - do some other ยต-optimisations.
27
283.07 Sat Aug 2 16:06:13 CEST 2008
29 - do not include LIBS in autoconf tests.
30
313.06 Tue Jul 15 12:41:32 CEST 2008
32 - move preadwritelock definition before it's first reference,
33 to make it compile again on broken platforms (they still exist)
34 or badly cofngiured perls (redhat...), reported by Rob Bloodgood.
35
363.05 Thu Jun 19 23:23:52 CEST 2008
37 - work around perl overriding readdir etc. with thread-unsafe
38 (sic!) versions.
39
403.04 Wed Jun 18 01:35:38 CEST 2008
41 - (libeio) fix eio_mknod, which confused it's arguments.
42 - (libeio) do not use readdir_r, as Ulrich Drepper pointed out that this
43 is stupid.
44 - (libeio) fix eio__readahead prototype, patch by Jost Krieger.
45 - (libeio) fix a bug that could potentially cause IO::AIO
46 not to get initialised properly.
47
483.03 Thu May 29 05:33:30 CEST 2008
49 - (libeio) correctly call pthread_attr_destroy ().
50 - (libeio) work around broken bsd headers once more.
51 - reduce shared library size again by not including wrappers.
52 - max_outstanding could cause poll to enter a busy-waiting loop.
53 - document the new IO::AIO::poll_cb result value.
54
553.02 Mon May 12 02:32:02 CEST 2008
56 - fix a memory leak on aio_readlink.
57 - bring back working fchmod.
58 - nop and busy now set result to 0.
59 - set errno to ENOMEM when allocation fails.
60
613.01 Sun May 11 03:07:03 CEST 2008
62 - (libeio) make it compile on systems without readahead or readdir_r.
63 - (libeio) improve configure check for readahead availability.
64 - do not try to link against -lrt.
65 - use a separate configure script for IO::AIO (not the libeio one).
66
673.0 Sun May 11 00:57:14 CEST 2008
68 - added bin/treescan to the distribution.
69 - switched to using libeio.
70 - LOTS OF INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
71 - remove signal functionality, it is not worth the effort.
72 - max_outstanding no longer returns the previous number of requests.
73 - poll_cb no longer returns number of requests.
74
752.62 Sat Apr 26 13:59:33 CEST 2008
76 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
77 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
78 - keep a reference to the perl filehandle object in aio_close,
79 so it doesn't get closed prematurely, leading to ugly races.
80
812.61 Wed Apr 16 18:45:02 CEST 2008
82 - fix treescan output duplication and improve output ordering.
83 also display files given on the commandline.
84 - use a different algorithm for aio_close that is faster
85 and probably has even lower chances of blocking.
86 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
87 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
88 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
89 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
90 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
91
922.6 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
93 - added aio_sync.
94 - added aio_pathsync.
95 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
96
972.51 Sat Oct 6 16:04:54 CEST 2007
98 - perlio isn't generally threadsafe, so aio_close could not work reliably.
99 aio_close now tries a safe hack that might not be that asynchronous
100 (see the manpage for details).
101 - discard callback return values as to not grow the stack endlessly
102 when poll_cb handles many requests without returning.
103 - minor code cleanups.
104
1052.5 Thu Oct 4 14:49:08 CEST 2007
106 - replaced _fd2fh with faster xs code.
107 - aio_close will now try to do "the right thing" and thus might
108 work sensibly for the very first time.
109
1102.41 Mon Sep 24 21:28:21 CEST 2007
111 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
112 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
113 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
114 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
115
1162.4 Sun Aug 5 18:44:22 CEST 2007
117 - add aio_truncate, aio_chmod, aio_chown, aio_utime (linux
118 successfully demonstrated that you can block on futimes...).
119 - allow undef as fileoffset for aio_read/write and use read/write(2)
120 internally (useful for sockets or O_APPEND handles).
121 - allow undef for length in aio_write.
122 - negative dataoffsets work as expected now in aio_read/aio_write.
123 - use NV instead of UV for 32 bit perls and file offsets, as NVs
124 have a larger range then.
125 - shared code between BDB and IO::AIO.
126 - aio_busy was completely broken. now fixed.
127 - readahead emulation now returns something.
128 - correctly set errno to ENOSYS on unimplemented functions
129 (should never happen, though).
130 - large changes to make it partially compile and run on win32,
131 but win32 lacks too much functionality, and perl overrides way
132 too many functions with crashing versions.
133
1342.33 Tue Jan 23 23:55:41 CET 2007
135 - fix install path (Andreas J. Koenig).
136
1372.32 Mon Jan 22 16:56:23 CET 2007
138 - added aio_rmtree.
139 - wow, aio_mkdir was missing.
140 - aio_load did return undef on error, not -1.
141 - use prefixexp not prefix in autoconf.pm
142 (suggested by ... rt.cpan.org unreachable).
143 - avoid installing autoconf.pm.
144
1452.31 Sat Jan 6 03:46:02 CET 2007
146 - added aio_load.
147
1482.3 Sat Dec 23 05:48:07 CET 2006
149 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_read, causing memory corruption
150 or crashes.
8 151
92.21 Fri Dec 22 05:03:38 CET 2006 1522.21 Fri Dec 22 05:03:38 CET 2006
10 - minor doc updates. 153 - minor doc updates.
11 - minor cleanups. 154 - minor cleanups.
12 - IO::AIO::poll returns request count. 155 - IO::AIO::poll returns request count.
