9 |
|
10 |
- (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix |
11 |
sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually |
12 |
faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on |
13 |
degenerated (for quicksort) data. |
14 |
- (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type |
15 |
knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used. |
16 |
- (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no |
17 |
known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue. |
18 |
- removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code |
19 |
but should not have been. |
20 |
- added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile. |
21 |
- use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64, |
22 |
which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls). |
23 |
|
24 |
3.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009 |
25 |
- fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the |
26 |
rushed 3.22 release. |
27 |
|
28 |
3.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009 |
29 |
- speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly. |
30 |
- bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball. |
31 |
|
32 |
3.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009 |
33 |
- new options --dirs and --files for treescan. |
34 |
- install bin/treescan by default. |
35 |
- (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing. |
36 |
- fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead |
37 |
to problems on big endian 64 bit systems). |
38 |
- do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises |
39 |
the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing |
40 |
a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less |
41 |
stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations. |
42 |
|
43 |
3.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009 |
44 |
- (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did |
45 |
not restore the file offset. |
46 |
- add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort |
47 |
the names in various ways. |
48 |
- unfortunately, utime, chmod, chown on an open file that has just |
49 |
been written can easily block, which caused aio_copy to block the |
50 |
process. no more! |
51 |
- no longer rely on dst path in aio_copy when futime is available. |
52 |
|
53 |
3.19 Tue Apr 21 22:05:21 CEST 2009 |
54 |
- more perl 5.10 workarounds for aio_read and write. |
55 |
- aio_write no longer modifies the sv (if possible). |
56 |
- aio_read now works correctly with magic values. |
57 |
|
58 |
3.18 Sun Apr 19 21:17:32 CEST 2009 |
59 |
- better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh. |
60 |
- try to avoid crashes due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. grmbl. |
61 |
|
62 |
3.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008 |
63 |
- (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested). |
64 |
- add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ. |
65 |
|
66 |
3.16 Wed Oct 22 18:28:01 CEST 2008 |
67 |
- use SvREFCNT_inc instead of SvREFCNT_inc_NN in a non-speed critical |
68 |
part to improve portability to perl 5.8 (reported by szymon). |
69 |
|
70 |
3.15 Mon Oct 13 00:39:55 CEST 2008 |
71 |
- automatic removal of feeders was broken. |
72 |
- (libeio) use a more robust method to detect whether a feeder |
73 |
has added something to the group or not. |
74 |
|
75 |
3.1 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008 |
76 |
- pre-deref the passed callback object, for increased speed |
77 |
and decreased memory usage. |
78 |
- call on_next_submit callback even for aio_group - impact unknown, |
79 |
but seems more correct. |
80 |
- $req->cb now returns the original callback. |
81 |
- (libeio) pass EIO_GROUP/aio_group requests through the queue without |
82 |
requiring a thread switch. |
83 |
- (libeio) status code of aio_futime and aio_utime was always passed 0. |
84 |
- do some other ยต-optimisations. |
85 |
|
86 |
3.07 Sat Aug 2 16:06:13 CEST 2008 |
87 |
- do not include LIBS in autoconf tests. |
88 |
|
89 |
3.06 Tue Jul 15 12:41:32 CEST 2008 |
90 |
- move preadwritelock definition before it's first reference, |
91 |
to make it compile again on broken platforms (they still exist) |
92 |
or badly cofngiured perls (redhat...), reported by Rob Bloodgood. |
93 |
|
94 |
3.05 Thu Jun 19 23:23:52 CEST 2008 |
95 |
- work around perl overriding readdir etc. with thread-unsafe |
96 |
(sic!) versions. |
97 |
|
98 |
3.04 Wed Jun 18 01:35:38 CEST 2008 |
99 |
- (libeio) fix eio_mknod, which confused it's arguments. |
100 |
- (libeio) do not use readdir_r, as Ulrich Drepper pointed out that this |
101 |
is stupid. |
102 |
- (libeio) fix eio__readahead prototype, patch by Jost Krieger. |
103 |
- (libeio) fix a bug that could potentially cause IO::AIO |
104 |
not to get initialised properly. |
105 |
|
106 |
3.03 Thu May 29 05:33:30 CEST 2008 |
107 |
- (libeio) correctly call pthread_attr_destroy (). |
108 |
- (libeio) work around broken bsd headers once more. |
109 |
- reduce shared library size again by not including wrappers. |
110 |
- max_outstanding could cause poll to enter a busy-waiting loop. |
111 |
- document the new IO::AIO::poll_cb result value. |
112 |
|
113 |
3.02 Mon May 12 02:32:02 CEST 2008 |
114 |
- fix a memory leak on aio_readlink. |
115 |
- bring back working fchmod. |
116 |
- nop and busy now set result to 0. |
117 |
- set errno to ENOMEM when allocation fails. |
118 |
|
119 |
3.01 Sun May 11 03:07:03 CEST 2008 |
120 |
- (libeio) make it compile on systems without readahead or readdir_r. |
121 |
- (libeio) improve configure check for readahead availability. |
122 |
- do not try to link against -lrt. |
123 |
- use a separate configure script for IO::AIO (not the libeio one). |
124 |
|
125 |
3.0 Sun May 11 00:57:14 CEST 2008 |
126 |
- added bin/treescan to the distribution. |
127 |
- switched to using libeio. |
128 |
- LOTS OF INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES: |
129 |
- remove signal functionality, it is not worth the effort. |
130 |
- max_outstanding no longer returns the previous number of requests. |
131 |
- poll_cb no longer returns number of requests. |
132 |
|
133 |
2.62 Sat Apr 26 13:59:33 CEST 2008 |
134 |
- port to solaris perls configured for old posix |
135 |
(analysed by Jost Krieger). |
136 |
- keep a reference to the perl filehandle object in aio_close, |
137 |
so it doesn't get closed prematurely, leading to ugly races. |
138 |
|
139 |
2.61 Wed Apr 16 18:45:02 CEST 2008 |
140 |
- fix treescan output duplication and improve output ordering. |
141 |
also display files given on the commandline. |
142 |
- use a different algorithm for aio_close that is faster |
143 |
and probably has even lower chances of blocking. |
144 |
- do our own stack memory management for threads - linux |
145 |
allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you |
146 |
use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads |
147 |
on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN |
148 |
and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k). |
149 |
|
150 |
2.6 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008 |
151 |
- added aio_sync. |
152 |
- added aio_pathsync. |
153 |
- fix prototypes of (void) functions. |
154 |
|
155 |
2.51 Sat Oct 6 16:04:54 CEST 2007 |
156 |
- perlio isn't generally threadsafe, so aio_close could not work reliably. |
157 |
aio_close now tries a safe hack that might not be that asynchronous |
158 |
(see the manpage for details). |
159 |
- discard callback return values as to not grow the stack endlessly |
160 |
when poll_cb handles many requests without returning. |
161 |
- minor code cleanups. |
162 |
|
163 |
2.5 Thu Oct 4 14:49:08 CEST 2007 |
164 |
- replaced _fd2fh with faster xs code. |
165 |
- aio_close will now try to do "the right thing" and thus might |
166 |
work sensibly for the very first time. |
167 |
|
168 |
2.41 Mon Sep 24 21:28:21 CEST 2007 |
169 |
- after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno |
170 |
stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make |
171 |
it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking |
172 |
behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers. |
173 |
|
174 |
2.4 Sun Aug 5 18:44:22 CEST 2007 |
175 |
- add aio_truncate, aio_chmod, aio_chown, aio_utime (linux |
176 |
successfully demonstrated that you can block on futimes...). |
177 |
- allow undef as fileoffset for aio_read/write and use read/write(2) |
178 |
internally (useful for sockets or O_APPEND handles). |
179 |
- allow undef for length in aio_write. |
180 |
- negative dataoffsets work as expected now in aio_read/aio_write. |
181 |
- use NV instead of UV for 32 bit perls and file offsets, as NVs |
182 |
have a larger range then. |
183 |
- shared code between BDB and IO::AIO. |
184 |
- aio_busy was completely broken. now fixed. |
185 |
- readahead emulation now returns something. |
186 |
- correctly set errno to ENOSYS on unimplemented functions |
187 |
(should never happen, though). |
188 |
- large changes to make it partially compile and run on win32, |
189 |
but win32 lacks too much functionality, and perl overrides way |
190 |
too many functions with crashing versions. |
191 |
|
192 |
2.33 Tue Jan 23 23:55:41 CET 2007 |
193 |
- fix install path (Andreas J. Koenig). |
194 |
|
195 |
2.32 Mon Jan 22 16:56:23 CET 2007 |
196 |
- added aio_rmtree. |
197 |
- wow, aio_mkdir was missing. |
198 |
- aio_load did return undef on error, not -1. |
199 |
- use prefixexp not prefix in autoconf.pm |
200 |
(suggested by ... rt.cpan.org unreachable). |
201 |
- avoid installing autoconf.pm. |
202 |
|
203 |
2.31 Sat Jan 6 03:46:02 CET 2007 |
204 |
- added aio_load. |
205 |
|
206 |
2.3 Sat Dec 23 05:48:07 CET 2006 |
207 |
- fix off-by-one bug in aio_read, causing memory corruption |
208 |
or crashes. |
209 |
|
210 |
2.21 Fri Dec 22 05:03:38 CET 2006 |
211 |
- minor doc updates. |
212 |
- minor cleanups. |
213 |
- IO::AIO::poll returns request count. |
214 |
- undocumented and unfinished async-signal-reporting. |
215 |
|
216 |
2.2 Tue Oct 31 00:31:00 CET 2006 |
217 |
- minor doc updates. |
218 |
- added aio_readlink. |
219 |
- properly zero-terminate aio_read buffer. |
220 |
- fix aio_read/write with nonzero dataoffset. |
221 |
- reduced size of aio request structure. |
222 |
- better diagnostics when pathnames etc. are not byte-encoded; |
223 |
do not leak request in that case, either. |
224 |
|
225 |
2.1 Sun Oct 29 02:01:57 CET 2006 |
226 |
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace IO::AIO::poll_some by |
227 |
IO::AIO::max_poll_reqs and IO::AIO::max_poll_time. |
228 |
- fix a bug in aio_move where it would fail everytime |
229 |
it would have to copy files manually. |
230 |
- doc updates. |
231 |
- start threads only on (very low) demand. |
232 |
- end superfluous threads automatically after 10s idling. |
233 |
- add IO::AIO::max_idle to control this. |
234 |
- some tuning applied to random places. |
235 |
- add aio_mknod. |
236 |
|
237 |
2.0 Thu Oct 26 18:27:58 CEST 2006 |
238 |
- minor incompatibility: max_outstanding semantics have changed. |
239 |
- major rewrite, consider all functionality EXPERIMENTAL. |
240 |
- aio requests can be cancelled. |
241 |
- callbacks can be (re-)set later. |
242 |
- aio requests can choose between 9 priorities. |
243 |
- add aio_group: aio requests can be grouped |
244 |
into composite requests. |
245 |
- generator interface for groups. |
246 |
- add IO::AIO::poll_some. |
247 |
- major documentation improvements. |
248 |
- very minor bugfixes. |
249 |
- add aio_nop for dummy requests. |
250 |
- add aio_busy mainly for benchmarking and debugging. |
251 |
- use "fast" mutexes on linux. |
252 |
- use dynamic (and larger) buffers instead of |
253 |
putting them onto the stack. |
254 |
- optimise x86 and amd64 a bit. |
255 |
- better error checking when ENOMEM. |
256 |
- hopefully fix mem and dirp leaks on fork. |
257 |
- warn about broken perl malloc. |
258 |
- compiles on cygwin (but pread is broken on cygwin |
259 |
which is not detected by autoconf, so you have to |
260 |
edit autoconf/config.h yourself to enable emulation). |
261 |
|
262 |
1.8 Sat Jun 24 22:20:44 CEST 2006 |
263 |
- add and/or document aio_rename, aio_link, aio_symlink and aio_move. |
264 |
|
265 |
1.73 Wed Mar 1 22:49:32 CET 2006 |
266 |
- codename "jost" |
267 |
- AIX/Solaris(?) aren't being helpful again, hardcode a value |
268 |
for NAME_MAX and drive with your eyes closed (reported by |
269 |
wcooley@nakedape.cc). |
270 |
|
271 |
1.72 Thu Feb 2 00:40:44 CET 2006 |
272 |
- another minor bug in aio_scandir, again, the callback was called |
273 |
twice when the directory can't be stat'ed. |
274 |
|
275 |
1.71 Mon Dec 26 20:20:03 CET 2005 |
276 |
- grr, another minor bug in aio_scandir, this time resulting |
277 |
in a runtime error. |
278 |
|
279 |
1.7 Mon Dec 26 19:29:48 CET 2005 |
280 |
- aio_scandir errornously called callback twice in some cases. |
281 |
- added AnyEvent example. |
282 |
|
283 |
1.61 Wed Sep 7 19:40:42 CEST 2005 |
284 |
- no longer include $Config{libs}, as distros include too much |
285 |
garbage in there that is not installed on typical systems |
286 |
(for example, debian links perl against -lgdbm and many more |
287 |
libraries despite perl not needing it, slowing down startup and |
288 |
wasting memory). |
289 |
|
290 |
1.6 Tue Aug 30 17:44:44 CEST 2005 |
291 |
- added aio_readdir, aio_scandir. |
292 |
- added aio_sendfile, including sendfile emulation when sendfile |
293 |
isn't available. Linux, FreeBSD and HP-UX might work (sendfilev |
294 |
support is unavailable on my solaris 8 machine, but preliminary |
295 |
code is there. What's lacking is configury stuff and testing...). |
296 |
|
297 |
1.5 Sat Aug 20 02:32:19 CEST 2005 |
298 |
- create the aio threads on demand only (good after forking). |
299 |
- somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should |
300 |
be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones. |
301 |
- abort when the configure script fails. |
302 |
|
303 |
1.4 Wed Aug 17 08:07:27 CEST 2005 |
304 |
- forgot to recreate the pipe after forking, this could cause |
305 |
deadlocks. |
306 |
|
307 |
1.3 Wed Aug 17 07:25:54 CEST 2005 |
308 |
- properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently |
309 |
eating them. |
310 |
- use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback |
311 |
invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes. |
312 |
- fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong |
313 |
length after reading. |
314 |
- fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests |
315 |
from the parent. |
316 |
- make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon |
317 |
(but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes. |
318 |
- the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write. |
319 |
- aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data |
320 |
scalar for better error reporting. |
321 |
|
322 |
1.2 Wed Aug 17 01:22:58 CEST 2005 |
323 |
- verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris. |
324 |
- use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to |
325 |
the external filename encoding first. |
326 |
- fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again). |
327 |
- clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away |
328 |
with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS. |
329 |
- fork'ing should now be officially supported (where linux and |
330 |
posix contradict each other, I followed posix). |
331 |
- only call read() once per poll, not twice (speedup). |
332 |
- new functions: aio_rmdir, aio_symlink. |
333 |
- force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better |
334 |
error catching. |
335 |
|
336 |
1.1 Sun Aug 7 05:27:23 CEST 2005 |
337 |
- added configure script to detect availability of some calls. |
338 |
(imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due to missing |
339 |
feedback yet). |
340 |
- emulate fdatasync via fsync, pread/pwrite via unsafe read/write |
341 |
and readahead via manual reading on platforms lacking those. |
342 |
- ported t/03_errors.t+framework by Brad Fitzpatrick |
343 |
from Linux::AIO. |
344 |
- removed XOPEN_SOURCE because stupid solaris 9 doesn't |
345 |
compile with it enabled. Probably breaks others. Oh well. |
346 |
- try to be more careful with errno on non-threaded perls. |
347 |
- cygwins perl insisted on a matching open mode when morphing |
348 |
the fd to an fh. |
349 |
- convert sv's to "byte" encoding in aio_read/aio_write. Might |
350 |
do that for pathnames, too, in the future, so make sure you |
351 |
properly encode your pathnames. |
352 |
|
353 |
1.0 Fri Jul 22 10:43:30 CEST 2005 |
354 |
- aio_open did not reliably deliver (open) filehandles. |
355 |
- all aio_*-functions keep a reference to the filehandle so |
356 |
it doesn't go away while the aio requests is working on it. |
357 |
- disable warnings in AIO.pm. |
358 |
|
359 |
0.9 Wed Jul 20 23:55:04 CEST 2005 |
360 |
- allow recursive calls to poll_cb, use less locking calls, too. |
361 |
- fix the Gtk2-example in the SYNOPSIS. |
362 |
- use pread/pwrite not pread64/pwrite64. this was simply a leftover |
363 |
from Linux::AIO. |
364 |
(found by compiling on cygwin. Unfortunately, cygwin declares but |
365 |
does not implement pread/pwrite). |
366 |
- only include <sys/syscall.h> on linux. |
367 |
|
368 |
0.5 Tue Jul 12 13:03:09 CEST 2005 |
369 |
- removed #include <endian.h>, it's not portable, and we don't |
370 |
need it anyway. |
371 |
- link against -lrt, as it might contain goodies such as fdatasync, |
372 |
and often aio_read, which we do not use yet, but it shouldn't hurt. |
373 |
|
374 |
0.4 Mon Jul 11 05:28:25 CEST 2005 |
375 |
