3 1.3
4 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
5 eating them.
6 - 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
16 1.2 Wed Aug 17 01:22:58 CEST 2005
17 - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris.
18 - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to
19 the external filename encoding first.
20 - fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again).
21 - 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22 with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS.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 - only call read() once per poll, not twice (speedup).
26 - new functions: aio_rmdir, aio_symlink.
27 - force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better
28 error catching.
29
30 1.1 Sun Aug 7 05:27:23 CEST 2005
31 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls.
32 (imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due to missing
33 feedback yet).
34 - emulate fdatasync via fsync, pread/pwrite via unsafe read/write
35 and readahead via manual reading on platforms lacking those.
36 - ported t/03_errors.t+framework by Brad Fitzpatrick
37 from Linux::AIO.
38 - removed XOPEN_SOURCE because stupid solaris 9 doesn't
39 compile with it enabled. Probably breaks others. Oh well.
40 - try to be more careful with errno on non-threaded perls.
41 - cygwins perl insisted on a matching open mode when morphing
42 the fd to an fh.
43 - 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
47 1.0 Fri Jul 22 10:43:30 CEST 2005
48 - aio_open did not reliably deliver (open) filehandles.
49 - 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 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 - 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 0.5 Tue Jul 12 13:03:09 CEST 2005
63 - 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 0.4 Mon Jul 11 05:28:25 CEST 2005
69 - added IO::AIO::flush, IO::AIO::poll.
70 - make callback argument optional for all calls.
71
72 0.3 Mon Jul 11 01:42:37 CEST 2005
73 - restructured manpage.
74 - 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
78 0.2 Sun Jul 10 22:57:12 CEST 2005
79 - return immediately from poll_wait if nreqs==0.
80 - get rid of the request pipe and use faster thread-thread
81 communications for most requests and responses.
82
83 0.1
84 - cloned from Linux::AIO, which is very similar.
