11TODO: MS_xxx, posix_fadvise
12 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
13 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
14 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
15 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
16 files (fortunately it vchecks that the whole file has been
17 transferred...)
18
193.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
20 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
21 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
22 - add lots of newre POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
23 flags.
24
253.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
26 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
27 - support a max_idle value of 0.
28 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
29
303.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
31 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
32 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
33 - new treescan option: --grep.
34 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
35
363.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
37 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
38 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
39 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
40 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
41 funcitonality. ugh.
42
433.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
44 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
45 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
46 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
47 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
48 (openbsd 4.8).
49 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
50 had string-data.
51 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
52 them.
53 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
54 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
55 user-errors better.
56 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
57
583.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
59 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
60 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
61 Rasmus Andersson).
62 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
63 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
64 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
65 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
66 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
67
683.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
69 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
70 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
71 kernel sources.
72 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
73 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
74 - clean up manpage.
75
763.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
77 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
78 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
79 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
80 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
81 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
82 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
83
843.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
85 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
86 - clarify cancel_subs description.
87 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
88 from the sendfile call.
89 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
90 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
91
923.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
93 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
94 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
95 hash lookups.
96
973.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
98 - use common::sense.
99 - use common schmorp.h header.
100 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
101 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
102 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
103
1043.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
105 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
106
1073.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
108 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
109 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
110 way. might help other os's too.
111
1123.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
113 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
114 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
115 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
116 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
117 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
118 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
119 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
120 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
121 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
122 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
123 but should not have been.
124 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
125 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
126
1273.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
128 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
129 rushed 3.22 release.
130
1313.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
132 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
133 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
134
1353.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
136 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
137 - install bin/treescan by default.
138 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
139 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
140 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
141 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
142 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
143 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
144 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
145
1463.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
147 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
148 not restore the file offset.
149 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
150 the names in various ways.
151 - unfortunately, utime, chmod, chown on an open file that has just
152 been written can easily block, which caused aio_copy to block the
153 process. no more!
154 - no longer rely on dst path in aio_copy when futime is available.
155
1563.19 Tue Apr 21 22:05:21 CEST 2009
157 - more perl 5.10 workarounds for aio_read and write.
158 - aio_write no longer modifies the sv (if possible).
159 - aio_read now works correctly with magic values.
160
1613.18 Sun Apr 19 21:17:32 CEST 2009
162 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh.
163 - try to avoid crashes due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. grmbl.
164
1653.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008
166 - (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested).
167 - add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ.
168
1693.16 Wed Oct 22 18:28:01 CEST 2008
170 - use SvREFCNT_inc instead of SvREFCNT_inc_NN in a non-speed critical
171 part to improve portability to perl 5.8 (reported by szymon).
172
1733.15 Mon Oct 13 00:39:55 CEST 2008
174 - automatic removal of feeders was broken.
175 - (libeio) use a more robust method to detect whether a feeder
176 has added something to the group or not.
177
1783.1 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
179 - pre-deref the passed callback object, for increased speed
180 and decreased memory usage.
181 - call on_next_submit callback even for aio_group - impact unknown,
182 but seems more correct.
183 - $req->cb now returns the original callback.
184 - (libeio) pass EIO_GROUP/aio_group requests through the queue without
185 requiring a thread switch.
186 - (libeio) status code of aio_futime and aio_utime was always passed 0.
187 - do some other ยต-optimisations.
188
1893.07 Sat Aug 2 16:06:13 CEST 2008
190 - do not include LIBS in autoconf tests.
191
1923.06 Tue Jul 15 12:41:32 CEST 2008
193 - move preadwritelock definition before it's first reference,
194 to make it compile again on broken platforms (they still exist)
195 or badly cofngiured perls (redhat...), reported by Rob Bloodgood.

93.05 Thu Jun 19 23:23:52 CEST 2008 1973.05 Thu Jun 19 23:23:52 CEST 2008
