8 12
13 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
14 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
15 funcitonality. ugh.
16
173.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
18 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
19 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
20 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
21 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
22 (openbsd 4.8).
23 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
24 had string-data.
25 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
26 them.
27 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
28 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
29 user-errors better.
30 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
31
323.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
33 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
34 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
35 Rasmus Andersson).
36 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
37 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
38 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
39 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
40 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
41
423.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
43 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
44 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
45 kernel sources.
46 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
47 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
48 - clean up manpage.
49
503.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
51 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
52 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
53 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
54 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
55 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
56 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
57
583.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
59 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
60 - clarify cancel_subs description.
61 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
62 from the sendfile call.
63 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
64 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
65
663.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
67 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
68 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
69 hash lookups.
70
713.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
72 - use common::sense.
73 - use common schmorp.h header.
74 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
75 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
76 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
77
783.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
79 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
80
813.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
82 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
83 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
84 way. might help other os's too.
85
863.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
87 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
88 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
89 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
90 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
91 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
92 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
93 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
94 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
95 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
96 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
97 but should not have been.
98 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
99 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
100
1013.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
102 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
103 rushed 3.22 release.
104
1053.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
106 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
107 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
108
1093.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
110 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
111 - install bin/treescan by default.
112 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
113 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
114 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
115 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
116 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
117 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
118 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
119
1203.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
121 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
122 not restore the file offset.
123 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
124 the names in various ways.
125 - unfortunately, utime, chmod, chown on an open file that has just
126 been written can easily block, which caused aio_copy to block the
127 process. no more!
128 - no longer rely on dst path in aio_copy when futime is available.
129
1303.19 Tue Apr 21 22:05:21 CEST 2009
131 - more perl 5.10 workarounds for aio_read and write.
132 - aio_write no longer modifies the sv (if possible).
133 - aio_read now works correctly with magic values.
134
1353.18 Sun Apr 19 21:17:32 CEST 2009
9 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh. 136 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh.
10 - try to avoid crash due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. 137 - try to avoid crashes due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. grmbl.

123.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008 1393.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008
13 - (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested). 140 - (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested).
14 - add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ. 141 - add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ.
