14 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
15 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
16 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
17 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
18 Rasmus Andersson).
19
203.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
21 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
22 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
23 kernel sources.
24 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
25 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
26 - clean up manpage.
27
283.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
29 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
30 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
31 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
32 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
33 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
34 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
35
363.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
37 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
38 - clarify cancel_subs description.
39 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
40 from the sendfile call.
41 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
42 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
43
443.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
45 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
46 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
47 hash lookups.
48
493.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
50 - use common::sense.
51 - use common schmorp.h header.
52 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
53 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
54 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
55
563.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
57 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
58
593.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
60 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
61 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
62 way. might help other os's too.
63
643.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
65 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
66 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
67 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
68 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
69 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
70 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
71 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
72 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
73 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
74 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
75 but should not have been.
76 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
77 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
78
793.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
80 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
81 rushed 3.22 release.
82
833.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
84 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
85 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
86
873.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
88 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
89 - install bin/treescan by default.
90 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
91 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
92 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
93 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
94 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
95 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
96 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
97
983.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
99 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
100 not restore the file offset.
101 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
102 the names in various ways.
103 - unfortunately, utime, chmod, chown on an open file that has just
104 been written can easily block, which caused aio_copy to block the
105 process. no more!
106 - no longer rely on dst path in aio_copy when futime is available.
107
1083.19 Tue Apr 21 22:05:21 CEST 2009
109 - more perl 5.10 workarounds for aio_read and write.
110 - aio_write no longer modifies the sv (if possible).
111 - aio_read now works correctly with magic values.
112
1133.18 Sun Apr 19 21:17:32 CEST 2009
114 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh.
115 - try to avoid crashes due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. grmbl.
116
1173.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008
118 - (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested).
119 - add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ.
120
1213.16 Wed Oct 22 18:28:01 CEST 2008
122 - use SvREFCNT_inc instead of SvREFCNT_inc_NN in a non-speed critical
123 part to improve portability to perl 5.8 (reported by szymon).
124
1253.15 Mon Oct 13 00:39:55 CEST 2008
126 - automatic removal of feeders was broken.
127 - (libeio) use a more robust method to detect whether a feeder
128 has added something to the group or not.
129
1303.1 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
131 - pre-deref the passed callback object, for increased speed
132 and decreased memory usage.
133 - call on_next_submit callback even for aio_group - impact unknown,
134 but seems more correct.
135 - $req->cb now returns the original callback.
136 - (libeio) pass EIO_GROUP/aio_group requests through the queue without
137 requiring a thread switch.
138 - (libeio) status code of aio_futime and aio_utime was always passed 0.
139 - do some other ยต-optimisations.
140
1413.07 Sat Aug 2 16:06:13 CEST 2008
142 - do not include LIBS in autoconf tests.
143
1443.06 Tue Jul 15 12:41:32 CEST 2008
145 - move preadwritelock definition before it's first reference,
146 to make it compile again on broken platforms (they still exist)
147 or badly cofngiured perls (redhat...), reported by Rob Bloodgood.
8 148
93.05 Thu Jun 19 23:23:52 CEST 2008 1493.05 Thu Jun 19 23:23:52 CEST 2008
10 - work around perl overriding readdir etc. with thread-unsafe 150 - work around perl overriding readdir etc. with thread-unsafe
11 (sic!) versions. 151 (sic!) versions.
