39TODO: dump config.log when automated testign and configure fails
40
41 - add st_btime, st_btimesec, st_btimensec and st_gen accessors,
42 mostly for bsds which expose birthtime and st_gen members (netbsd, freebsd
43 but only st_gen on openbsd because they compiled their perl without support
44 for birthtimes).
45 - fix madvise and munlock to properly support negative offsets.
46 - allocate fd for the aio_close at boot time, to guarantee it working
47 later, rather than calling abort when it fails. also avoids
48 close-on-exec race issues after module load.
49 - #undef utime on win32, maybe this helps some reports of utime hangs.
50 - minor doc improvements.
51 - minor configure cleanups.
52 - use $Config{perllibs} instead of libs for configure. might help people
53 who didn'T install all perl dependencies (might break things as well).
54
554.54 Tue Aug 14 13:54:48 CEST 2018
56 - include sys/mkdev.h or sys/sysmacros.h if available.
57 - further tweaks to configure invocation for systems requiring --rpath.
58 - no longer rely on custom paths on win32 platforms.
59 - try to work around buggy PAGESIZE macro on solaris.
60
614.53 Tue Aug 14 11:27:50 CEST 2018
62 - add $Config{libs} to LIBS for configure, to work around systems
63 with broken library dependencies (... openbsd).
64
654.52 Sun Aug 12 08:09:45 CEST 2018
66 - config.h.in was missing in distribution.
67
684.51 Sun Aug 12 07:24:14 CEST 2018
69 - complete rework of the autoconf framework: IO::AIO now uses its own
70 config.h, separate from libeio, and tries to test the actual perl
71 environment, not the standard system environment.
72 - provide nanosecond-accracy stat time accessors for both perl and IO::AIO
73 stat functions.
74 - removed non-portable C++ syntax from eio.c.
75 - try to fix readdir tests on cygwin spuriously failing.
76
774.5 Wed Aug 1 00:23:55 CEST 2018
78 - aio_mtouch touch all pages as requested, not just the first page in most cases.

80 and MREMAP_FIXED.
81 - add O_ACCMODE.
82 - add (undocumented) MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC and SOCK_CLOEXEC constants.
83
844.4 Tue Feb 20 07:54:12 CET 2018

86 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::eventfd and timerfd* function.
87 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::get_fdlimit and IO::AIO::min_fdlimit.
88 - point out that aio_copy overwrites existing files.
89 - removed filesystem magic number table from aio_statvfs docs as
90 statvfs doesn't actually return this info at all (statfs does).
91 - add a bunch of (mostly linux-specific) constants for use in ioctls
92 (see aio_ioctl docs).
93 - treescan now has a proper manpage and useful --help output.
94 - new option --sync in treescan, to sync everything in a subtree.
95 - changed default for aio_msync flags to MSYNC_SYNC.
96 - document offset/length behaviour of mprotect/madvise.
97 - support linux's renameat2 (via aio_rename2).
98 - add aio_rename2, an aio_rename with flags.
99 - add F_DUPPFD_CLOEXEC, F_OFD_[SG]ETLKW? constants.

105 and better eventfd detection.
106
1074.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
108 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
109 compile errors on various platforms.
110 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
111 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
112 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
113 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
114 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
115 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
116
1174.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
118 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
119 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
120 constants.
121 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
122 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK
123 consdtants, whether they can be sensibly used or not.

128
1294.32 Wed Feb 11 20:32:11 CET 2015
130 - replace off_t by STRLEN where appropriate, should not result in
131 user-visible changes.

133
1344.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
135 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
136
1374.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
138 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
139 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
140 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
141 compatibility - I will never understand.
142
1434.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
144 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
145 the stack after req_submit.
146 - be more careful on (e.g. permission) errors in bin/treescan.
147 - work around changes in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
148 - (libeio) implement aio_realpath for win32.
149 - (xthread) work around compile time bugs in ptw32.

154 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
155 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]
156 and call rename/rmdir instead of renameat/unlinkat.
157
1584.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
159 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
160
1614.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
162 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
163 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
164 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
165 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
166 as per unix spec.
167
1684.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
169 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
170 it to malfunction for paths.
171 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
172 extents.
173 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
174 trash fiemap input arguments.
175 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
176 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
177 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
178 truncates segment count if a file.
179 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
180 to quick overview.
181 - splice can corrupt data.
182 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
183 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
184 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.

186
1874.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
188 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
189 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
190 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
191 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
192 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
193 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
194
1954.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
196 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
197 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
198 - new request aio_seek.
199 - new request aio_fiemap.
200 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
201
2024.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
203 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
204 instead of -1.
205 - port to c89.
206
2074.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
208 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
209
2104.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
211 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
212 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
213 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
214 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
215 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
216 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
217 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
218 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
219 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
220 in aio_scandir and treescan.
221 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
222 - added --progress switch to treescan.
223
2244.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
225 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
226 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
227 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
228 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
229 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
230 a timeout occured at the same time.
231 - (libeio) added realpath.
232 - (libeio) added fallocate.
233 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
234 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
235 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
236
2373.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
238 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
239
2403.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
241 - ecb.h was missing.
242
2433.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
244 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
245 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
246 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
247 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
248 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
249 transferred...)
250 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
251 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
252 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
253 pthread and fork in perl.
254 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
255 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
256 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
257 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
258
2593.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
260 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
261 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
262 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
263 flags.
264
2653.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
266 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
267 - support a max_idle value of 0.
268 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
269
2703.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
271 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
272 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
273 - new treescan option: --grep.
274 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
275
2763.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
277 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
278 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
279 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
280 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
281 funcitonality. ugh.
282
2833.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
284 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
285 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
286 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
287 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
288 (openbsd 4.8).
289 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
290 had string-data.
291 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
292 them.
293 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
294 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
295 user-errors better.
296 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
297
2983.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
299 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
300 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
301 Rasmus Andersson).
302 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
303 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
304 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
305 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
306 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
307
3083.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
309 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
310 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
311 kernel sources.
312 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
313 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
314 - clean up manpage.
315
3163.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
317 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
318 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
319 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
320 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
321 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
322 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
323
3243.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
325 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
326 - clarify cancel_subs description.
327 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
328 from the sendfile call.
329 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
330 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
331
3323.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
333 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
334 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
335 hash lookups.
336
3373.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
338 - use common::sense.
339 - use common schmorp.h header.
340 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
341 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
342 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
343
3443.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
345 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
346
3473.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
348 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
349 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
350 way. might help other os's too.
351
3523.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
353 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
354 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
355 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
356 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
357 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
358 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
359 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
360 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
361 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
362 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
363 but should not have been.
364 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
365 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
366
3673.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
368 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
369 rushed 3.22 release.
370
3713.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
372 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
373 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
374
3753.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
376 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
377 - install bin/treescan by default.
378 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
379 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
380 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
381 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
382 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
383 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
384 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
385
3863.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
387 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
388 not restore the file offset.
389 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
390 the names in various ways.
391 - unfortunately, utime, chmod, chown on an open file that has just
392 been written can easily block, which caused aio_copy to block the
393 process. no more!
394 - no longer rely on dst path in aio_copy when futime is available.
395
3963.19 Tue Apr 21 22:05:21 CEST 2009
397 - more perl 5.10 workarounds for aio_read and write.
398 - aio_write no longer modifies the sv (if possible).
399 - aio_read now works correctly with magic values.
400
4013.18 Sun Apr 19 21:17:32 CEST 2009
402 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh.
403 - try to avoid crashes due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. grmbl.
404
4053.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008
406 - (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested).
407 - add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ.
408
4093.16 Wed Oct 22 18:28:01 CEST 2008
410 - use SvREFCNT_inc instead of SvREFCNT_inc_NN in a non-speed critical
411 part to improve portability to perl 5.8 (reported by szymon).
412
4133.15 Mon Oct 13 00:39:55 CEST 2008
414 - automatic removal of feeders was broken.
415 - (libeio) use a more robust method to detect whether a feeder
416 has added something to the group or not.
417
4183.1 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
419 - pre-deref the passed callback object, for increased speed
420 and decreased memory usage.
421 - call on_next_submit callback even for aio_group - impact unknown,
422 but seems more correct.
423 - $req->cb now returns the original callback.
424 - (libeio) pass EIO_GROUP/aio_group requests through the queue without
425 requiring a thread switch.
426 - (libeio) status code of aio_futime and aio_utime was always passed 0.
427 - do some other ยต-optimisations.
428
4293.07 Sat Aug 2 16:06:13 CEST 2008
430 - do not include LIBS in autoconf tests.
431
4323.06 Tue Jul 15 12:41:32 CEST 2008
433 - move preadwritelock definition before it's first reference,
434 to make it compile again on broken platforms (they still exist)
435 or badly cofngiured perls (redhat...), reported by Rob Bloodgood.
436
4373.05 Thu Jun 19 23:23:52 CEST 2008
438 - work around perl overriding readdir etc. with thread-unsafe
439 (sic!) versions.
440
4413.04 Wed Jun 18 01:35:38 CEST 2008
442 - (libeio) fix eio_mknod, which confused it's arguments.
443 - (libeio) do not use readdir_r, as Ulrich Drepper pointed out that this
444 is stupid.
445 - (libeio) fix eio__readahead prototype, patch by Jost Krieger.
446 - (libeio) fix a bug that could potentially cause IO::AIO
447 not to get initialised properly.
448
4493.03 Thu May 29 05:33:30 CEST 2008
450 - (libeio) correctly call pthread_attr_destroy ().
451 - (libeio) work around broken bsd headers once more.
452 - reduce shared library size again by not including wrappers.
453 - max_outstanding could cause poll to enter a busy-waiting loop.
454 - document the new IO::AIO::poll_cb result value.
455
4563.02 Mon May 12 02:32:02 CEST 2008
457 - fix a memory leak on aio_readlink.
458 - bring back working fchmod.
459 - nop and busy now set result to 0.
460 - set errno to ENOMEM when allocation fails.
461
4623.01 Sun May 11 03:07:03 CEST 2008
463 - (libeio) make it compile on systems without readahead or readdir_r.
464 - (libeio) improve configure check for readahead availability.
465 - do not try to link against -lrt.
466 - use a separate configure script for IO::AIO (not the libeio one).
467
4683.0 Sun May 11 00:57:14 CEST 2008
469 - added bin/treescan to the distribution.
470 - switched to using libeio.
471 - LOTS OF INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
472 - remove signal functionality, it is not worth the effort.
473 - max_outstanding no longer returns the previous number of requests.
474 - poll_cb no longer returns number of requests.
475
4762.62 Sat Apr 26 13:59:33 CEST 2008
477 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
478 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
479 - keep a reference to the perl filehandle object in aio_close,
480 so it doesn't get closed prematurely, leading to ugly races.
481
4822.61 Wed Apr 16 18:45:02 CEST 2008
483 - fix treescan output duplication and improve output ordering.
484 also display files given on the commandline.
485 - use a different algorithm for aio_close that is faster
486 and probably has even lower chances of blocking.
487 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
488 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
489 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
490 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
491 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
492
4932.6 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
494 - added aio_sync.
495 - added aio_pathsync.
496 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
497
4982.51 Sat Oct 6 16:04:54 CEST 2007
499 - perlio isn't generally threadsafe, so aio_close could not work reliably.
500 aio_close now tries a safe hack that might not be that asynchronous
501 (see the manpage for details).
502 - discard callback return values as to not grow the stack endlessly
503 when poll_cb handles many requests without returning.
504 - minor code cleanups.
505
5062.5 Thu Oct 4 14:49:08 CEST 2007
507 - replaced _fd2fh with faster xs code.
508 - aio_close will now try to do "the right thing" and thus might
509 work sensibly for the very first time.
510
5112.41 Mon Sep 24 21:28:21 CEST 2007
512 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
513 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
514 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
515 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
516
5172.4 Sun Aug 5 18:44:22 CEST 2007
518 - add aio_truncate, aio_chmod, aio_chown, aio_utime (linux
12 that you can block on futimes...). 519 successfully demonstrated that you can block on futimes...).
13 - allow undef as fileoffset for aio_read/write and use read/write(2) 520 - allow undef as fileoffset for aio_read/write and use read/write(2)
14 internally (useful for sockets or O_APPEND handles). 521 internally (useful for sockets or O_APPEND handles).
522 - allow undef for length in aio_write.
523 - negative dataoffsets work as expected now in aio_read/aio_write.
15 - use NV instead of UV for 32 bit perls and file offsets, as NVs 524 - use NV instead of UV for 32 bit perls and file offsets, as NVs
16 have a larger range then. 525 have a larger range then.
17 - shared code between BDB and IO::AIO. 526 - shared code between BDB and IO::AIO.
527 - aio_busy was completely broken. now fixed.
528 - readahead emulation now returns something.
18 - correctly set errno to ENOSYS on unimplemented functions 529 - correctly set errno to ENOSYS on unimplemented functions
19 (should never happen, though). 530 (should never happen, though).
531 - large changes to make it partially compile and run on win32,
532 but win32 lacks too much functionality, and perl overrides way
533 too many functions with crashing versions.

212.33 Tue Jan 23 23:55:41 CET 2007 5352.33 Tue Jan 23 23:55:41 CET 2007
22 - fix install path (Andreas J. Koenig). 536 - fix install path (Andreas J. Koenig).
