10 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
11 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
12 hash lookups.
13
143.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
15 - use common::sense.
16 - use common schmorp.h header.
17 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
18 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
19 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
20
213.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
22 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
23
243.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
25 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
26 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
27 way. might help other os's too.
28
293.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
30 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
31 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
32 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
33 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
34 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
35 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
36 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
37 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
38 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
39 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
40 but should not have been.
41 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
42 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
43
443.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
45 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
46 rushed 3.22 release.
47
483.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
49 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
50 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
51
523.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
53 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
54 - install bin/treescan by default.
55 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
56 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
57 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
58 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
59 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
60 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
61 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
62
633.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
64 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
65 not restore the file offset.
66 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
67 the names in various ways.
68 - unfortunately, utime, chmod, chown on an open file that has just
69 been written can easily block, which caused aio_copy to block the
70 process. no more!
71 - no longer rely on dst path in aio_copy when futime is available.
72
733.19 Tue Apr 21 22:05:21 CEST 2009
74 - more perl 5.10 workarounds for aio_read and write.
75 - aio_write no longer modifies the sv (if possible).
76 - aio_read now works correctly with magic values.
77
783.18 Sun Apr 19 21:17:32 CEST 2009
79 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh.
80 - try to avoid crashes due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. grmbl.
81
823.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008
83 - (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested).
84 - add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ.
85
863.16 Wed Oct 22 18:28:01 CEST 2008
87 - use SvREFCNT_inc instead of SvREFCNT_inc_NN in a non-speed critical
88 part to improve portability to perl 5.8 (reported by szymon).
89
903.15 Mon Oct 13 00:39:55 CEST 2008
91 - automatic removal of feeders was broken.
92 - (libeio) use a more robust method to detect whether a feeder
93 has added something to the group or not.
94
953.1 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
96 - pre-deref the passed callback object, for increased speed
97 and decreased memory usage.
98 - call on_next_submit callback even for aio_group - impact unknown,
99 but seems more correct.
100 - $req->cb now returns the original callback.
101 - (libeio) pass EIO_GROUP/aio_group requests through the queue without
102 requiring a thread switch.
103 - (libeio) status code of aio_futime and aio_utime was always passed 0.
104 - do some other ยต-optimisations.
105
1063.07 Sat Aug 2 16:06:13 CEST 2008
107 - do not include LIBS in autoconf tests.
108
1093.06 Tue Jul 15 12:41:32 CEST 2008
110 - move preadwritelock definition before it's first reference,
111 to make it compile again on broken platforms (they still exist)
112 or badly cofngiured perls (redhat...), reported by Rob Bloodgood.

11 (sic!) versions. 116 (sic!) versions.
