51
524.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
53 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
54 compile errors on various platforms.
55 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
56 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
57 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
58 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
59 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
60 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
61
624.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
63 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
64 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
65 constants.
66 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
67 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK

794.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
80 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
81
824.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
83 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
84 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
85 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
86 compatibility - I will never understand.
87
884.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
89 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
90 the stack after req_submit.

102
1034.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
104 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)

107 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
108 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
109 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
110 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
111 as per unix spec.
112
1134.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
114 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
115 it to malfunction for paths.
116 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
117 extents.
118 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
119 trash fiemap input arguments.
120 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
121 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
122 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
123 truncates segment count if a file.
124 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
125 to quick overview.
126 - splice can corrupt data.
127 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
128 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
129 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.

131
1324.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
133 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
134 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
135 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
136 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
137 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
138 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
139
1404.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
141 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
142 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
143 - new request aio_seek.
144 - new request aio_fiemap.
145 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
146
1474.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
148 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
149 instead of -1.
150 - port to c89.
151
1524.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
153 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
154
1554.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
156 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
157 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
158 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
159 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
160 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
161 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
162 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
163 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
164 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
165 in aio_scandir and treescan.
166 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
167 - added --progress switch to treescan.
168
1694.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
170 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
171 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
172 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
173 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
174 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
175 a timeout occured at the same time.
176 - (libeio) added realpath.
177 - (libeio) added fallocate.
178 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
179 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.

181
1823.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
183 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
184
1853.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
186 - ecb.h was missing.
187
1883.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
189 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
190 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
191 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
192 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
193 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
194 transferred...)
195 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
196 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
197 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
198 pthread and fork in perl.
199 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
200 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
201 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
202 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
203
2043.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
205 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
206 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
207 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
208 flags.
209
2103.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
211 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
212 - support a max_idle value of 0.
213 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
214
2153.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
216 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
217 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
218 - new treescan option: --grep.
219 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
220
2213.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
222 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
223 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
224 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
225 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
226 funcitonality. ugh.
227
2283.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
229 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
230 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
231 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
232 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
233 (openbsd 4.8).
234 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
235 had string-data.
236 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
237 them.
238 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
239 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
240 user-errors better.
241 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
242
2433.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
244 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
245 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
246 Rasmus Andersson).
247 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
248 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
249 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
250 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
251 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
252
2533.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
254 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
255 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
256 kernel sources.
257 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
258 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
259 - clean up manpage.
260
2613.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
262 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
263 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
264 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
265 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
266 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
267 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
268
2693.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
270 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
271 - clarify cancel_subs description.
272 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
273 from the sendfile call.
274 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
275 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
276
2773.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
278 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
279 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
280 hash lookups.
281
2823.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
283 - use common::sense.
284 - use common schmorp.h header.
285 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
286 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
287 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
288
2893.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
290 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
291
2923.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
293 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
294 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
295 way. might help other os's too.
296
2973.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
298 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
299 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
300 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
301 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
302 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
303 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
304 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
305 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
306 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
307 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
308 but should not have been.
309 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
310 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
311
3123.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
313 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
314 rushed 3.22 release.
315
3163.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
317 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
318 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
319
3203.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
321 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
322 - install bin/treescan by default.
323 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
324 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
325 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
326 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
327 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
328 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
329 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
330
3313.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
332 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
333 not restore the file offset.
334 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
335 the names in various ways.
336 - unfortunately, utime, chmod, chown on an open file that has just
337 been written can easily block, which caused aio_copy to block the
338 process. no more!
339 - no longer rely on dst path in aio_copy when futime is available.
340
3413.19 Tue Apr 21 22:05:21 CEST 2009
342 - more perl 5.10 workarounds for aio_read and write.
343 - aio_write no longer modifies the sv (if possible).
344 - aio_read now works correctly with magic values.
345
3463.18 Sun Apr 19 21:17:32 CEST 2009
347 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh.
348 - try to avoid crashes due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. grmbl.
349
3503.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008
351 - (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested).
352 - add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ.
353
3543.16 Wed Oct 22 18:28:01 CEST 2008
355 - use SvREFCNT_inc instead of SvREFCNT_inc_NN in a non-speed critical
356 part to improve portability to perl 5.8 (reported by szymon).
357
3583.15 Mon Oct 13 00:39:55 CEST 2008
359 - automatic removal of feeders was broken.
360 - (libeio) use a more robust method to detect whether a feeder
361 has added something to the group or not.
362
3633.1 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
364 - pre-deref the passed callback object, for increased speed
365 and decreased memory usage.
366 - call on_next_submit callback even for aio_group - impact unknown,
367 but seems more correct.
368 - $req->cb now returns the original callback.
369 - (libeio) pass EIO_GROUP/aio_group requests through the queue without
370 requiring a thread switch.
371 - (libeio) status code of aio_futime and aio_utime was always passed 0.
372 - do some other ยต-optimisations.
373
3743.07 Sat Aug 2 16:06:13 CEST 2008
375 - do not include LIBS in autoconf tests.
376
3773.06 Tue Jul 15 12:41:32 CEST 2008
378 - move preadwritelock definition before it's first reference,
379 to make it compile again on broken platforms (they still exist)
380 or badly cofngiured perls (redhat...), reported by Rob Bloodgood.
381
3823.05 Thu Jun 19 23:23:52 CEST 2008
383 - work around perl overriding readdir etc. with thread-unsafe
384 (sic!) versions.
385
3863.04 Wed Jun 18 01:35:38 CEST 2008
387 - (libeio) fix eio_mknod, which confused it's arguments.
388 - (libeio) do not use readdir_r, as Ulrich Drepper pointed out that this
389 is stupid.
390 - (libeio) fix eio__readahead prototype, patch by Jost Krieger.
391 - (libeio) fix a bug that could potentially cause IO::AIO
392 not to get initialised properly.
393
3943.03 Thu May 29 05:33:30 CEST 2008
395 - (libeio) correctly call pthread_attr_destroy ().
396 - (libeio) work around broken bsd headers once more.
397 - reduce shared library size again by not including wrappers.
398 - max_outstanding could cause poll to enter a busy-waiting loop.
399 - document the new IO::AIO::poll_cb result value.
400
4013.02 Mon May 12 02:32:02 CEST 2008
402 - fix a memory leak on aio_readlink.
403 - bring back working fchmod.
404 - nop and busy now set result to 0.
405 - set errno to ENOMEM when allocation fails.
406
4073.01 Sun May 11 03:07:03 CEST 2008
408 - (libeio) make it compile on systems without readahead or readdir_r.
409 - (libeio) improve configure check for readahead availability.
410 - do not try to link against -lrt.
411 - use a separate configure script for IO::AIO (not the libeio one).

4133.0 Sun May 11 00:57:14 CEST 2008
414 - added bin/treescan to the distribution.
415 - switched to using libeio.
416 - LOTS OF INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
417 - remove signal functionality, it is not worth the effort.
418 - max_outstanding no longer returns the previous number of requests.
419 - poll_cb no longer returns number of requests.

422 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
423 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
424 - keep a reference to the perl filehandle object in aio_close,
425 so it doesn't get closed prematurely, leading to ugly races.

4272.61 Wed Apr 16 18:45:02 CEST 2008
428 - fix treescan output duplication and improve output ordering.
429 also display files given on the commandline.
430 - use a different algorithm for aio_close that is faster
431 and probably has even lower chances of blocking.
432 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
433 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
434 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
435 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
436 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
