9 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh.
10 - try to avoid crash due to incompatible 5.10 API changes.
11
123.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008
13 - (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested).
14 - add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ.
15
163.16 Wed Oct 22 18:28:01 CEST 2008
17 - use SvREFCNT_inc instead of SvREFCNT_inc_NN in a non-speed critical
18 part to improve portability to perl 5.8 (reported by szymon).
19
203.15 Mon Oct 13 00:39:55 CEST 2008
21 - automatic removal of feeders was broken.
22 - (libeio) use a more robust method to detect whether a feeder
23 has added something to the group or not.
24
253.1 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
26 - pre-deref the passed callback object, for increased speed
27 and decreased memory usage.
28 - call on_next_submit callback even for aio_group - impact unknown,
29 but seems more correct.
30 - $req->cb now returns the original callback.
31 - (libeio) pass EIO_GROUP/aio_group requests through the queue without
32 requiring a thread switch.
33 - (libeio) status code of aio_futime and aio_utime was always passed 0.
34 - do some other ยต-optimisations.
35
363.07 Sat Aug 2 16:06:13 CEST 2008
37 - do not include LIBS in autoconf tests.
38
393.06 Tue Jul 15 12:41:32 CEST 2008
40 - move preadwritelock definition before it's first reference,
41 to make it compile again on broken platforms (they still exist)
42 or badly cofngiured perls (redhat...), reported by Rob Bloodgood.
43
443.05 Thu Jun 19 23:23:52 CEST 2008
45 - work around perl overriding readdir etc. with thread-unsafe
46 (sic!) versions.
47
483.04 Wed Jun 18 01:35:38 CEST 2008
49 - (libeio) fix eio_mknod, which confused it's arguments.
50 - (libeio) do not use readdir_r, as Ulrich Drepper pointed out that this
51 is stupid.
52 - (libeio) fix eio__readahead prototype, patch by Jost Krieger.
53 - (libeio) fix a bug that could potentially cause IO::AIO
54 not to get initialised properly.
55
563.03 Thu May 29 05:33:30 CEST 2008
57 - (libeio) correctly call pthread_attr_destroy ().
58 - (libeio) work around broken bsd headers once more.
59 - reduce shared library size again by not including wrappers.
60 - max_outstanding could cause poll to enter a busy-waiting loop.
61 - document the new IO::AIO::poll_cb result value.
62
633.02 Mon May 12 02:32:02 CEST 2008
64 - fix a memory leak on aio_readlink.
65 - bring back working fchmod.
66 - nop and busy now set result to 0.
67 - set errno to ENOMEM when allocation fails.
68
693.01 Sun May 11 03:07:03 CEST 2008
70 - (libeio) make it compile on systems without readahead or readdir_r.
71 - (libeio) improve configure check for readahead availability.
72 - do not try to link against -lrt.
73 - use a separate configure script for IO::AIO (not the libeio one).
74
753.0 Sun May 11 00:57:14 CEST 2008
76 - added bin/treescan to the distribution.
77 - switched to using libeio.
78 - LOTS OF INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
79 - remove signal functionality, it is not worth the effort.
80 - max_outstanding no longer returns the previous number of requests.
81 - poll_cb no longer returns number of requests.
82
832.62 Sat Apr 26 13:59:33 CEST 2008
84 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
85 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
86 - keep a reference to the perl filehandle object in aio_close,
87 so it doesn't get closed prematurely, leading to ugly races.
88
892.61 Wed Apr 16 18:45:02 CEST 2008
9 - fix treescan output duplication and improve output ordering. 90 - fix treescan output duplication and improve output ordering.
10 also display files given on the commandline. 91 also display files given on the commandline.
92 - use a different algorithm for aio_close that is faster
93 and probably has even lower chances of blocking.
94 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
95 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
96 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
97 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
98 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).

122.6 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008 1002.6 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
13 - added aio_sync. 101 - added aio_sync.
14 - added aio_pathsync. 102 - added aio_pathsync.
15 - fix prototypes of (void) functions. 103 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
