404.54 Tue Aug 14 13:54:48 CEST 2018
41 - include sys/mkdev.h or sys/sysmacros.h if available.
42 - further tweaks to configure invocation for systems requiring --rpath.
43 - no longer rely on custom paths on win32 platforms.
44 - try to work around buggy PAGESIZE macro on solaris.
45
464.53 Tue Aug 14 11:27:50 CEST 2018
47 - add $Config{libs} to LIBS for configure, to work around systems
48 with broken library dependencies (... openbsd).
49
504.52 Sun Aug 12 08:09:45 CEST 2018
51 - config.h.in was missing in distribution.
52
534.51 Sun Aug 12 07:24:14 CEST 2018
54 - complete rework of the autoconf framework: IO::AIO now uses its own
55 config.h, separate from libeio, and tries to test the actual perl
56 environment, not the standard system environment.
57 - provide nanosecond-accracy stat time accessors for both perl and IO::AIO
58 stat functions.
59 - removed non-portable C++ syntax from eio.c.

61
624.5 Wed Aug 1 00:23:55 CEST 2018
63 - aio_mtouch touch all pages as requested, not just the first page in most cases.

72 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::get_fdlimit and IO::AIO::min_fdlimit.
73 - point out that aio_copy overwrites existing files.
74 - removed filesystem magic number table from aio_statvfs docs as
75 statvfs doesn't actually return this info at all (statfs does).
76 - add a bunch of (mostly linux-specific) constants for use in ioctls
77 (see aio_ioctl docs).
78 - treescan now has a proper manpage and useful --help output.
79 - new option --sync in treescan, to sync everything in a subtree.
80 - changed default for aio_msync flags to MSYNC_SYNC.
81 - document offset/length behaviour of mprotect/madvise.
82 - support linux's renameat2 (via aio_rename2).

88 - add IO:AIO::FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE.
89 - update schmorp.h for removal of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
90 and better eventfd detection.
91
924.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
93 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
94 compile errors on various platforms.
95 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
96 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
97 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
98 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
99 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
100 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
101
1024.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
103 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
104 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
105 constants.
106 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
107 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK

113
1144.32 Wed Feb 11 20:32:11 CET 2015
115 - replace off_t by STRLEN where appropriate, should not result in
116 user-visible changes.

118
1194.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
120 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
121
1224.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
123 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
124 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
125 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
126 compatibility - I will never understand.
127
1284.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
129 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
130 the stack after req_submit.
131 - be more careful on (e.g. permission) errors in bin/treescan.
132 - work around changes in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
133 - (libeio) implement aio_realpath for win32.
134 - (xthread) work around compile time bugs in ptw32.

137
1384.19 Sun Jan 6 12:47:26 CET 2013
139 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
140 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]
141 and call rename/rmdir instead of renameat/unlinkat.
142
1434.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
144 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
145
1464.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
147 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
148 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
149 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
150 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
151 as per unix spec.
152
1534.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
154 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
155 it to malfunction for paths.
156 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
157 extents.
158 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
159 trash fiemap input arguments.
160 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
161 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
162 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
163 truncates segment count if a file.
164 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
165 to quick overview.
166 - splice can corrupt data.
167 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
168 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.

170 - provide pread/pwrite for win32, making it link again on native win32.
171
1724.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
173 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
174 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
175 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
176 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
177 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
178 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
179
1804.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
181 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
182 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
183 - new request aio_seek.
184 - new request aio_fiemap.
185 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
186
1874.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
188 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
189 instead of -1.
190 - port to c89.
191
1924.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
193 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
194
1954.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
196 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
197 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
198 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
199 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
200 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
201 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
202 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
203 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
204 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
205 in aio_scandir and treescan.
206 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
207 - added --progress switch to treescan.
208
2094.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
210 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
211 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
212 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
213 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
214 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
215 a timeout occured at the same time.
216 - (libeio) added realpath.
217 - (libeio) added fallocate.
218 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.

221
2223.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
223 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
224
2253.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
226 - ecb.h was missing.
227
2283.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
229 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
230 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
231 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
232 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
233 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
234 transferred...)
235 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
236 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
237 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
238 pthread and fork in perl.
239 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
240 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
241 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
242 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
243
2443.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
245 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
246 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
247 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
248 flags.
249
2503.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
251 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
252 - support a max_idle value of 0.
253 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
254
2553.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
256 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
257 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
258 - new treescan option: --grep.
259 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
260
2613.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
262 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
263 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
264 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
265 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
266 funcitonality. ugh.
267
2683.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
269 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
270 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
271 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
272 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
273 (openbsd 4.8).
274 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
275 had string-data.
276 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
277 them.
278 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
279 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
280 user-errors better.
281 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
282
2833.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
284 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
285 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
286 Rasmus Andersson).
287 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
288 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
289 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
290 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
291 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
292
2933.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
294 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
295 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
296 kernel sources.
297 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
298 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
299 - clean up manpage.
300
3013.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
302 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
303 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
304 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
305 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
306 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
307 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
308
3093.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
310 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
311 - clarify cancel_subs description.
312 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
313 from the sendfile call.
314 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
315 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
316
3173.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
318 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
319 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
320 hash lookups.
321
3223.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
323 - use common::sense.
324 - use common schmorp.h header.
325 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
326 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
327 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
328
3293.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
330 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
331
3323.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
333 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
334 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
335 way. might help other os's too.
336
3373.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
338 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
339 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
340 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
341 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
342 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
343 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
344 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
345 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
346 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
347 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
348 but should not have been.
349 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
350 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
351
3523.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
353 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
354 rushed 3.22 release.
355
3563.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
357 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
358 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
359
3603.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
361 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
362 - install bin/treescan by default.
363 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
364 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
365 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
366 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
367 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
368 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
369 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
370
3713.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
372 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
373 not restore the file offset.
374 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
375 the names in various ways.
376 - unfortunately, utime, chmod, chown on an open file that has just
377 been written can easily block, which caused aio_copy to block the
378 process. no more!
379 - no longer rely on dst path in aio_copy when futime is available.
380
3813.19 Tue Apr 21 22:05:21 CEST 2009
382 - more perl 5.10 workarounds for aio_read and write.
383 - aio_write no longer modifies the sv (if possible).
384 - aio_read now works correctly with magic values.
385
3863.18 Sun Apr 19 21:17:32 CEST 2009
387 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh.
388 - try to avoid crashes due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. grmbl.
389
3903.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008
391 - (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested).
392 - add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ.
393
3943.16 Wed Oct 22 18:28:01 CEST 2008
395 - use SvREFCNT_inc instead of SvREFCNT_inc_NN in a non-speed critical
396 part to improve portability to perl 5.8 (reported by szymon).
397
3983.15 Mon Oct 13 00:39:55 CEST 2008
399 - automatic removal of feeders was broken.
400 - (libeio) use a more robust method to detect whether a feeder
401 has added something to the group or not.
402
4033.1 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
404 - pre-deref the passed callback object, for increased speed
405 and decreased memory usage.
406 - call on_next_submit callback even for aio_group - impact unknown,
407 but seems more correct.
408 - $req->cb now returns the original callback.
409 - (libeio) pass EIO_GROUP/aio_group requests through the queue without
410 requiring a thread switch.
411 - (libeio) status code of aio_futime and aio_utime was always passed 0.
412 - do some other ยต-optimisations.
413
4143.07 Sat Aug 2 16:06:13 CEST 2008
415 - do not include LIBS in autoconf tests.
416
4173.06 Tue Jul 15 12:41:32 CEST 2008
418 - move preadwritelock definition before it's first reference,
419 to make it compile again on broken platforms (they still exist)
420 or badly cofngiured perls (redhat...), reported by Rob Bloodgood.
421
4223.05 Thu Jun 19 23:23:52 CEST 2008
423 - work around perl overriding readdir etc. with thread-unsafe
424 (sic!) versions.
425
4263.04 Wed Jun 18 01:35:38 CEST 2008
427 - (libeio) fix eio_mknod, which confused it's arguments.
428 - (libeio) do not use readdir_r, as Ulrich Drepper pointed out that this
429 is stupid.
430 - (libeio) fix eio__readahead prototype, patch by Jost Krieger.
431 - (libeio) fix a bug that could potentially cause IO::AIO
432 not to get initialised properly.
433
4343.03 Thu May 29 05:33:30 CEST 2008
435 - (libeio) correctly call pthread_attr_destroy ().
436 - (libeio) work around broken bsd headers once more.
437 - reduce shared library size again by not including wrappers.
438 - max_outstanding could cause poll to enter a busy-waiting loop.
439 - document the new IO::AIO::poll_cb result value.
440
4413.02 Mon May 12 02:32:02 CEST 2008
442 - fix a memory leak on aio_readlink.
443 - bring back working fchmod.
444 - nop and busy now set result to 0.
445 - set errno to ENOMEM when allocation fails.
446
4473.01 Sun May 11 03:07:03 CEST 2008
448 - (libeio) make it compile on systems without readahead or readdir_r.
449 - (libeio) improve configure check for readahead availability.
450 - do not try to link against -lrt.
451 - use a separate configure script for IO::AIO (not the libeio one).
452
4533.0 Sun May 11 00:57:14 CEST 2008
454 - added bin/treescan to the distribution.
455 - switched to using libeio.
456 - LOTS OF INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
457 - remove signal functionality, it is not worth the effort.
458 - max_outstanding no longer returns the previous number of requests.
459 - poll_cb no longer returns number of requests.
460
4612.62 Sat Apr 26 13:59:33 CEST 2008
462 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
463 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
464 - keep a reference to the perl filehandle object in aio_close,
465 so it doesn't get closed prematurely, leading to ugly races.
466
4672.61 Wed Apr 16 18:45:02 CEST 2008
468 - fix treescan output duplication and improve output ordering.
469 also display files given on the commandline.
470 - use a different algorithm for aio_close that is faster
471 and probably has even lower chances of blocking.
472 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
473 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
474 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
475 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
476 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
477
4782.6 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
479 - added aio_sync.
480 - added aio_pathsync.
481 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
482
4832.51 Sat Oct 6 16:04:54 CEST 2007
484 - perlio isn't generally threadsafe, so aio_close could not work reliably.
485 aio_close now tries a safe hack that might not be that asynchronous
486 (see the manpage for details).
487 - discard callback return values as to not grow the stack endlessly
488 when poll_cb handles many requests without returning.
489 - minor code cleanups.
490
4912.5 Thu Oct 4 14:49:08 CEST 2007
492 - replaced _fd2fh with faster xs code.
493 - aio_close will now try to do "the right thing" and thus might
494 work sensibly for the very first time.
495
4962.41 Mon Sep 24 21:28:21 CEST 2007
497 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
498 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
499 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
500 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
501
5022.4 Sun Aug 5 18:44:22 CEST 2007
503 - add aio_truncate, aio_chmod, aio_chown, aio_utime (linux
504 successfully demonstrated that you can block on futimes...).
505 - allow undef as fileoffset for aio_read/write and use read/write(2)
506 internally (useful for sockets or O_APPEND handles).
507 - allow undef for length in aio_write.
508 - negative dataoffsets work as expected now in aio_read/aio_write.
509 - use NV instead of UV for 32 bit perls and file offsets, as NVs
510 have a larger range then.
511 - shared code between BDB and IO::AIO.
512 - aio_busy was completely broken. now fixed.
513 - readahead emulation now returns something.
514 - correctly set errno to ENOSYS on unimplemented functions
515 (should never happen, though).
516 - large changes to make it partially compile and run on win32,
517 but win32 lacks too much functionality, and perl overrides way
518 too many functions with crashing versions.

92.33 Tue Jan 23 23:55:41 CET 2007 5202.33 Tue Jan 23 23:55:41 CET 2007
10 - fix install path (Andreas J. Koenig). 521 - fix install path (Andreas J. Koenig).
