14 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
15 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
16 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
17 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
18 files (fortunately it vchecks that the whole file has been
19 transferred...)
20 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
21 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
22 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
23 pthread and fork in perl.
24 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
25 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
26 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
27 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
28
293.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
30 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
31 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
32 - add lots of newre POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
33 flags.
34
353.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
36 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
37 - support a max_idle value of 0.
38 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
39
403.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
41 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
42 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
43 - new treescan option: --grep.
44 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
45
463.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
47 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
48 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
49 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
50 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
51 funcitonality. ugh.
52
533.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
54 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
55 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
56 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
57 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
58 (openbsd 4.8).
59 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
60 had string-data.
61 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
62 them.
63 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
64 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
65 user-errors better.
66 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
67
683.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
69 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
70 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
71 Rasmus Andersson).
72 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
73 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
74 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
75 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
76 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
77
783.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
79 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
80 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
81 kernel sources.
82 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
83 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
84 - clean up manpage.
85
863.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
87 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
88 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
89 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
90 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
91 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
92 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
93
943.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
95 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
96 - clarify cancel_subs description.
97 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
98 from the sendfile call.
99 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
100 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
101
1023.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
103 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
104 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
105 hash lookups.
106
1073.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
108 - use common::sense.
109 - use common schmorp.h header.
110 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
111 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
112 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
113
1143.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
115 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
116
1173.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
118 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
119 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
120 way. might help other os's too.
121
1223.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
123 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
9 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix 124 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
10 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually 125 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
11 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on 126 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
12 degenerated (for quicksort) data. 127 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
13 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type 128 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
14 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used. 129 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
15 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no 130 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
16 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue. 131 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
17 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code 132 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
18 but should not have been. 133 but should not have been.
134 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
135 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).

203.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009 1373.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
21 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the 138 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
