93.1 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
10 - pre-deref the passed callback object, for increased speed
11 and decreased memory usage.
12 - call on_next_submit callback even for aio_group - impact unknown,
13 but seems more correct.
14 - $req->cb now returns the original callback.
15 - (libeio) pass EIO_GROUP/aio_group requests through the queue without
16 requiring a thread switch.
17 - (libeio) status code of aio_futime and aio_utime was always passed 0.
18 - do some other ยต-optimisations.
19
203.07 Sat Aug 2 16:06:13 CEST 2008
21 - do not include LIBS in autoconf tests.
22
233.06 Tue Jul 15 12:41:32 CEST 2008
24 - move preadwritelock definition before it's first reference,
25 to make it compile again on broken platforms (they still exist)
26 or badly cofngiured perls (redhat...), reported by Rob Bloodgood.
27
283.05 Thu Jun 19 23:23:52 CEST 2008
29 - work around perl overriding readdir etc. with thread-unsafe
30 (sic!) versions.
31
323.04 Wed Jun 18 01:35:38 CEST 2008
33 - (libeio) fix eio_mknod, which confused it's arguments.
34 - (libeio) do not use readdir_r, as Ulrich Drepper pointed out that this
35 is stupid.
36 - (libeio) fix eio__readahead prototype, patch by Jost Krieger.
37 - (libeio) fix a bug that could potentially cause IO::AIO
38 not to get initialised properly.
39
403.03 Thu May 29 05:33:30 CEST 2008
41 - (libeio) correctly call pthread_attr_destroy ().
42 - (libeio) work around broken bsd headers once more.
43 - reduce shared library size again by not including wrappers.
44 - max_outstanding could cause poll to enter a busy-waiting loop.
45 - document the new IO::AIO::poll_cb result value.
46
473.02 Mon May 12 02:32:02 CEST 2008
48 - fix a memory leak on aio_readlink.
49 - bring back working fchmod.
50 - nop and busy now set result to 0.
51 - set errno to ENOMEM when allocation fails.
52
533.01 Sun May 11 03:07:03 CEST 2008
54 - (libeio) make it compile on systems without readahead or readdir_r.
55 - (libeio) improve configure check for readahead availability.
56 - do not try to link against -lrt.
57 - use a separate configure script for IO::AIO (not the libeio one).
58
593.0 Sun May 11 00:57:14 CEST 2008
60 - added bin/treescan to the distribution.
61 - switched to using libeio.
62 - LOTS OF INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
63 - remove signal functionality, it is not worth the effort.
64 - max_outstanding no longer returns the previous number of requests.
65 - poll_cb no longer returns number of requests.
66
672.62 Sat Apr 26 13:59:33 CEST 2008
68 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
69 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
70 - keep a reference to the perl filehandle object in aio_close,
71 so it doesn't get closed prematurely, leading to ugly races.
72
732.61 Wed Apr 16 18:45:02 CEST 2008
74 - fix treescan output duplication and improve output ordering.
75 also display files given on the commandline.
76 - use a different algorithm for aio_close that is faster
77 and probably has even lower chances of blocking.
78 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
79 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
80 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
81 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
82 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
83
842.6 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
85 - added aio_sync.
86 - added aio_pathsync.
87 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
88
892.51 Sat Oct 6 16:04:54 CEST 2007
90 - perlio isn't generally threadsafe, so aio_close could not work reliably.
91 aio_close now tries a safe hack that might not be that asynchronous
92 (see the manpage for details).
93 - discard callback return values as to not grow the stack endlessly
94 when poll_cb handles many requests without returning.
95 - minor code cleanups.
96
972.5 Thu Oct 4 14:49:08 CEST 2007
98 - replaced _fd2fh with faster xs code.
99 - aio_close will now try to do "the right thing" and thus might
100 work sensibly for the very first time.
101
1022.41 Mon Sep 24 21:28:21 CEST 2007
103 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
104 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
105 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
106 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
107
1082.4 Sun Aug 5 18:44:22 CEST 2007
109 - add aio_truncate, aio_chmod, aio_chown, aio_utime (linux
110 successfully demonstrated that you can block on futimes...).
111 - allow undef as fileoffset for aio_read/write and use read/write(2)
112 internally (useful for sockets or O_APPEND handles).
113 - allow undef for length in aio_write.
114 - negative dataoffsets work as expected now in aio_read/aio_write.
115 - use NV instead of UV for 32 bit perls and file offsets, as NVs
116 have a larger range then.
117 - shared code between BDB and IO::AIO.
118 - aio_busy was completely broken. now fixed.
119 - readahead emulation now returns something.
120 - correctly set errno to ENOSYS on unimplemented functions
121 (should never happen, though).
122 - large changes to make it partially compile and run on win32,
123 but win32 lacks too much functionality, and perl overrides way
124 too many functions with crashing versions.

92.33 Tue Jan 23 23:55:41 CET 2007 1262.33 Tue Jan 23 23:55:41 CET 2007
10 - fix install path (Andreas J. Koenig). 127 - fix install path (Andreas J. Koenig).
