2.1 Sun Oct 29 02:01:57 CET 2006 |
15 |
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace IO::AIO::poll_some by |
16 |
IO::AIO::max_poll_reqs and IO::AIO::max_poll_time. |
17 |
- fix a bug in aio_move where it would fail everytime |
18 |
it would have to copy files manually. |
19 |
- doc updates. |
20 |
- start threads only on (very low) demand. |
21 |
- end superfluous threads automatically after 10s idling. |
22 |
- add IO::AIO::max_idle to control this. |
23 |
- some tuning applied to random places. |
24 |
- add aio_mknod. |
25 |
|
26 |
2.0 Thu Oct 26 18:27:58 CEST 2006 |
27 |
- minor incompatibility: max_outstanding semantics have changed. |
28 |
- major rewrite, consider all functionality EXPERIMENTAL. |
29 |
- aio requests can be cancelled. |
30 |
- callbacks can be (re-)set later. |
31 |
- aio requests can choose between 9 priorities. |
32 |
- add aio_group: aio requests can be grouped |
33 |
into composite requests. |
34 |
- generator interface for groups. |
35 |
- add IO::AIO::poll_some. |
36 |
- major documentation improvements. |
37 |
- very minor bugfixes. |
38 |
- add aio_nop for dummy requests. |
39 |
- add aio_busy mainly for benchmarking and debugging. |
40 |
- use "fast" mutexes on linux. |
41 |
- use dynamic (and larger) buffers instead of |
42 |
putting them onto the stack. |
43 |
- optimise x86 and amd64 a bit. |
44 |
- better error checking when ENOMEM. |
45 |
- hopefully fix mem and dirp leaks on fork. |
46 |
- warn about broken perl malloc. |
47 |
- compiles on cygwin (but pread is broken on cygwin |
48 |
which is not detected by autoconf, so you have to |
49 |
edit autoconf/config.h yourself to enable emulation). |
50 |
|
51 |
1.8 Sat Jun 24 22:20:44 CEST 2006 |
52 |
- add and/or document aio_rename, aio_link, aio_symlink and aio_move. |
53 |
|
54 |
1.73 Wed Mar 1 22:49:32 CET 2006 |
55 |
- codename "jost" |
56 |
- AIX/Solaris(?) aren't being helpful again, hardcode a value |
57 |
for NAME_MAX and drive with your eyes closed (reported by |
58 |
wcooley@nakedape.cc). |
59 |
|
60 |
1.72 Thu Feb 2 00:40:44 CET 2006 |
61 |
- another minor bug in aio_scandir, again, the callback was called |
62 |
twice when the directory can't be stat'ed. |
63 |
|
64 |
1.71 Mon Dec 26 20:20:03 CET 2005 |
65 |
- grr, another minor bug in aio_scandir, this time resulting |
66 |
in a runtime error. |
67 |
|
68 |
1.7 Mon Dec 26 19:29:48 CET 2005 |
69 |
- aio_scandir errornously called callback twice in some cases. |
70 |
- added AnyEvent example. |
71 |
|
72 |
1.61 Wed Sep 7 19:40:42 CEST 2005 |
73 |
- no longer include $Config{libs}, as distros include too much |
74 |
garbage in there that is not installed on typical systems |
75 |
(for example, debian links perl against -lgdbm and many more |
76 |
libraries despite perl not needing it, slowing down startup and |
77 |
wasting memory). |
78 |
|
79 |
1.6 Tue Aug 30 17:44:44 CEST 2005 |
80 |
- added aio_readdir, aio_scandir. |
81 |
- added aio_sendfile, including sendfile emulation when sendfile |
82 |
isn't available. Linux, FreeBSD and HP-UX might work (sendfilev |
83 |
support is unavailable on my solaris 8 machine, but preliminary |
84 |
code is there. What's lacking is configury stuff and testing...). |
85 |
|
86 |
1.5 Sat Aug 20 02:32:19 CEST 2005 |
87 |
- create the aio threads on demand only (good after forking). |
88 |
- somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should |
89 |
be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones. |
90 |
- abort when the configure script fails. |
91 |
|
92 |
1.4 Wed Aug 17 08:07:27 CEST 2005 |
93 |
- forgot to recreate the pipe after forking, this could cause |
94 |
deadlocks. |
95 |
|
96 |
1.3 Wed Aug 17 07:25:54 CEST 2005 |
97 |
- properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently |
98 |
eating them. |
99 |
- use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback |
100 |
invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes. |
101 |
- fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong |
102 |
length after reading. |
103 |
- fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests |
104 |
from the parent. |
105 |
- make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon |
106 |
(but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes. |
107 |
- the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write. |
108 |
- aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data |
109 |
scalar for better error reporting. |
110 |
|
111 |
1.2 Wed Aug 17 01:22:58 CEST 2005 |
112 |
- verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris. |
113 |
- use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to |
114 |
the external filename encoding first. |
115 |
- fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again). |
116 |
- clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away |
117 |
with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS. |
118 |
- fork'ing should now be officially supported (where linux and |
119 |
posix contradict each other, I followed posix). |
120 |
- only call read() once per poll, not twice (speedup). |
121 |
- new functions: aio_rmdir, aio_symlink. |
122 |
- force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better |
123 |
error catching. |
124 |
|
125 |
1.1 Sun Aug 7 05:27:23 CEST 2005 |
126 |
- added configure script to detect availability of some calls. |
127 |
(imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due to missing |
128 |
feedback yet). |
129 |
- emulate fdatasync via fsync, pread/pwrite via unsafe read/write |
130 |
and readahead via manual reading on platforms lacking those. |
131 |
- ported t/03_errors.t+framework by Brad Fitzpatrick |
132 |
from Linux::AIO. |
133 |
- removed XOPEN_SOURCE because stupid solaris 9 doesn't |
134 |
compile with it enabled. Probably breaks others. Oh well. |
135 |
- try to be more careful with errno on non-threaded perls. |
136 |
- cygwins perl insisted on a matching open mode when morphing |
137 |
the fd to an fh. |
138 |
- convert sv's to "byte" encoding in aio_read/aio_write. Might |
139 |
do that for pathnames, too, in the future, so make sure you |
140 |
properly encode your pathnames. |
141 |
|
142 |
1.0 Fri Jul 22 10:43:30 CEST 2005 |
143 |
- aio_open did not reliably deliver (open) filehandles. |
144 |
- all aio_*-functions keep a reference to the filehandle so |
145 |
it doesn't go away while the aio requests is working on it. |
146 |
- disable warnings in AIO.pm. |
147 |
|
148 |
0.9 Wed Jul 20 23:55:04 CEST 2005 |
149 |
- allow recursive calls to poll_cb, use less locking calls, too. |
150 |
- fix the Gtk2-example in the SYNOPSIS. |
151 |
- use pread/pwrite not pread64/pwrite64. this was simply a leftover |
152 |
from Linux::AIO. |
153 |
(found by compiling on cygwin. Unfortunately, cygwin declares but |
154 |
does not implement pread/pwrite). |
155 |
- only include <sys/syscall.h> on linux. |
156 |
|
157 |
0.5 Tue Jul 12 13:03:09 CEST 2005 |
158 |
- removed #include <endian.h>, it's not portable, and we don't |
159 |
need it anyway. |
160 |
- link against -lrt, as it might contain goodies such as fdatasync, |
161 |
and often aio_read, which we do not use yet, but it shouldn't hurt. |
162 |
|
163 |
0.4 Mon Jul 11 05:28:25 CEST 2005 |
164 |
- added IO::AIO::flush, IO::AIO::poll. |
165 |
- make callback argument optional for all calls. |
166 |
|
167 |
0.3 Mon Jul 11 01:42:37 CEST 2005 |
168 |
- restructured manpage. |
169 |
- added SYNOPSIS with examples for Event, Glib, Tk. |
170 |
- remove explicit context support so I don't have to maintain |
171 |
it for threaded perls (i.e. it should work now :). |
172 |
|
173 |
0.2 Sun Jul 10 22:57:12 CEST 2005 |
174 |
- return immediately from poll_wait if nreqs==0. |
175 |
- get rid of the request pipe and use faster thread-thread |
176 |
communications for most requests and responses. |
177 |
|
178 |
0.1 |
179 |
- cloned from Linux::AIO, which is very similar. |
180 |
