10 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
11 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
12 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
13 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
14 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
15 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
16 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
17 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
18 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
19 but should not have been.
20 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
21 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
22 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
23
243.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
25 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
26 rushed 3.22 release.
27
283.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
29 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
30 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
31
323.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
33 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
34 - install bin/treescan by default.
35 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
36 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
37 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
38 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
39 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
40 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
41 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
42
433.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
44 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
45 not restore the file offset.
46 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
47 the names in various ways.
48 - unfortunately, utime, chmod, chown on an open file that has just
49 been written can easily block, which caused aio_copy to block the
50 process. no more!
51 - no longer rely on dst path in aio_copy when futime is available.
52
533.19 Tue Apr 21 22:05:21 CEST 2009
54 - more perl 5.10 workarounds for aio_read and write.
55 - aio_write no longer modifies the sv (if possible).
56 - aio_read now works correctly with magic values.
57
583.18 Sun Apr 19 21:17:32 CEST 2009
59 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh.
60 - try to avoid crashes due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. grmbl.
61
623.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008
63 - (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested).
64 - add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ.
65
663.16 Wed Oct 22 18:28:01 CEST 2008
67 - use SvREFCNT_inc instead of SvREFCNT_inc_NN in a non-speed critical
68 part to improve portability to perl 5.8 (reported by szymon).
69
703.15 Mon Oct 13 00:39:55 CEST 2008
71 - automatic removal of feeders was broken.
72 - (libeio) use a more robust method to detect whether a feeder
73 has added something to the group or not.
74
753.1 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
76 - pre-deref the passed callback object, for increased speed
77 and decreased memory usage.
78 - call on_next_submit callback even for aio_group - impact unknown,
79 but seems more correct.
80 - $req->cb now returns the original callback.
81 - (libeio) pass EIO_GROUP/aio_group requests through the queue without
82 requiring a thread switch.
83 - (libeio) status code of aio_futime and aio_utime was always passed 0.
84 - do some other ยต-optimisations.

93.07 Sat Aug 2 16:06:13 CEST 2008 863.07 Sat Aug 2 16:06:13 CEST 2008
10 - do not include LIBS in autoconf tests. 87 - do not include LIBS in autoconf tests.
