13
14 - (libeio) added realpath.
15
163.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
17 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
18
193.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
20 - ecb.h was missing.
21
223.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
23 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
24 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
25 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
26 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
27 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
28 transferred...)
29 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
30 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
31 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
32 pthread and fork in perl.
33 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
34 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
35 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
36 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
37
383.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
39 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
40 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
41 - add lots of newre POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
42 flags.
43
443.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
45 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
46 - support a max_idle value of 0.
47 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
48
493.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
50 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
51 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
52 - new treescan option: --grep.
53 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
54
553.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
56 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
57 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
58 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
59 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
60 funcitonality. ugh.
61
623.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
63 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
64 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
65 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
66 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
67 (openbsd 4.8).
68 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
69 had string-data.
70 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
71 them.
72 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
73 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
74 user-errors better.
75 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
76
773.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
78 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
79 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
80 Rasmus Andersson).
81 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
82 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
83 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
84 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
85 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
86
873.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
88 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
89 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
90 kernel sources.
91 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
92 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
93 - clean up manpage.
94
953.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
96 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
97 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
98 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
99 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
100 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
101 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
102
1033.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
104 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
105 - clarify cancel_subs description.
106 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
107 from the sendfile call.
108 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
109 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
110
1113.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
112 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
113 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
114 hash lookups.
115
1163.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
117 - use common::sense.
118 - use common schmorp.h header.
119 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
120 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
121 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
122
1233.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
124 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
125
1263.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
127 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
128 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
129 way. might help other os's too.
130
1313.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
132 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
133 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
134 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
135 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
136 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
137 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
138 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
139 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
140 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
141 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
142 but should not have been.
143 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
144 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
145
1463.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
147 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
148 rushed 3.22 release.
149
1503.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
151 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
152 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
153
1543.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
155 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
156 - install bin/treescan by default.
157 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
158 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
159 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
160 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
161 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
162 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
163 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
164
1653.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
166 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
167 not restore the file offset.
168 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
169 the names in various ways.
170 - unfortunately, utime, chmod, chown on an open file that has just
171 been written can easily block, which caused aio_copy to block the
172 process. no more!
173 - no longer rely on dst path in aio_copy when futime is available.
174
1753.19 Tue Apr 21 22:05:21 CEST 2009
176 - more perl 5.10 workarounds for aio_read and write.
177 - aio_write no longer modifies the sv (if possible).
178 - aio_read now works correctly with magic values.
179
1803.18 Sun Apr 19 21:17:32 CEST 2009
181 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh.
182 - try to avoid crashes due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. grmbl.
183
1843.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008
185 - (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested).
186 - add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ.
187
1883.16 Wed Oct 22 18:28:01 CEST 2008
189 - use SvREFCNT_inc instead of SvREFCNT_inc_NN in a non-speed critical
190 part to improve portability to perl 5.8 (reported by szymon).
191
1923.15 Mon Oct 13 00:39:55 CEST 2008
193 - automatic removal of feeders was broken.
194 - (libeio) use a more robust method to detect whether a feeder
195 has added something to the group or not.
196
1973.1 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
198 - pre-deref the passed callback object, for increased speed
199 and decreased memory usage.
200 - call on_next_submit callback even for aio_group - impact unknown,
201 but seems more correct.
202 - $req->cb now returns the original callback.
203 - (libeio) pass EIO_GROUP/aio_group requests through the queue without
204 requiring a thread switch.
205 - (libeio) status code of aio_futime and aio_utime was always passed 0.
206 - do some other ยต-optimisations.
207
2083.07 Sat Aug 2 16:06:13 CEST 2008
209 - do not include LIBS in autoconf tests.
210
2113.06 Tue Jul 15 12:41:32 CEST 2008
212 - move preadwritelock definition before it's first reference,
213 to make it compile again on broken platforms (they still exist)
214 or badly cofngiured perls (redhat...), reported by Rob Bloodgood.

93.05 Thu Jun 19 23:23:52 CEST 2008 2163.05 Thu Jun 19 23:23:52 CEST 2008
