40 constants.
41 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.

47
484.32 Wed Feb 11 20:32:11 CET 2015
49 - replace off_t by STRLEN where appropriate, should not result in
50 user-visible changes.

534.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
54 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
55
564.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
57 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
58 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
59 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
60 compatibility - I will never understand.
61
624.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
63 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
64 the stack after req_submit.

66 - work around changes in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
67 - (libeio) implement aio_realpath for win32.
68 - (xthread) work around compile time bugs in ptw32.
69 - added IO::AIO::pipesize.
70 - (libecb) insignificant update.
71
724.19 Sun Jan 6 12:47:26 CET 2013
73 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
74 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]
75 and call rename/rmdir instead of renameat/unlinkat.
76
774.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
78 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
79
804.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
81 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
82 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
83 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
84 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
85 as per unix spec.
86
874.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
88 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
89 it to malfunction for paths.
90 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
91 extents.
92 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
93 trash fiemap input arguments.
94 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
95 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
96 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
97 truncates segment count if a file.
98 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
99 to quick overview.
100 - splice can corrupt data.
101 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
102 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
103 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.
104 - provide pread/pwrite for win32, making it link again on native win32.
105
1064.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
107 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
108 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
109 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
110 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
111 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
112 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
113
1144.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
115 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
116 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
117 - new request aio_seek.
118 - new request aio_fiemap.
119 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
120
1214.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
122 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
123 instead of -1.
124 - port to c89.
125
1264.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
127 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
128
1294.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
130 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
131 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
132 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
133 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
134 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
135 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
136 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
137 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
138 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
139 in aio_scandir and treescan.
140 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
141 - added --progress switch to treescan.
142
1434.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
144 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
145 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
146 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
147 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
148 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
149 a timeout occured at the same time.
150 - (libeio) added realpath.
151 - (libeio) added fallocate.
152 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
153 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
154 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
155
1563.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
157 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
158
1593.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
160 - ecb.h was missing.
161
1623.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
163 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
164 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
165 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
166 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
167 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
168 transferred...)
169 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
170 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
171 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
172 pthread and fork in perl.
173 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
174 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
175 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
176 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
177
1783.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
179 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
180 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
181 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
182 flags.
183
1843.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
185 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
186 - support a max_idle value of 0.
187 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
188
1893.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
190 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
191 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
192 - new treescan option: --grep.
193 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
194
1953.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
196 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
197 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
198 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
199 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
200 funcitonality. ugh.
201
2023.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
203 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
204 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
205 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
206 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
207 (openbsd 4.8).
208 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
209 had string-data.
210 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
211 them.
212 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
213 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
214 user-errors better.
215 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
216
2173.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
218 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
219 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
220 Rasmus Andersson).
221 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
222 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
223 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
224 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
225 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
226
2273.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
228 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
229 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
230 kernel sources.
231 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
232 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
233 - clean up manpage.
234
2353.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
236 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
237 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
238 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
239 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
240 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
241 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
242
2433.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
244 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
245 - clarify cancel_subs description.
246 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
247 from the sendfile call.
248 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
249 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
250
2513.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
252 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
253 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
254 hash lookups.
255
2563.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
257 - use common::sense.
258 - use common schmorp.h header.
259 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
260 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
261 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
262
2633.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
264 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
265
2663.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
267 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
268 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
269 way. might help other os's too.
270
2713.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
272 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
273 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
274 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
275 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
276 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
277 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
278 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
279 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
280 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
281 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
282 but should not have been.
283 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
284 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
285
2863.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
287 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
288 rushed 3.22 release.
289
2903.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
291 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
292 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
293
2943.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
295 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
296 - install bin/treescan by default.
297 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
298 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
299 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
300 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
301 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
302 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
303 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
304
3053.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
306 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
307 not restore the file offset.
308 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
309 the names in various ways.
310 - unfortunately, utime, chmod, chown on an open file that has just
311 been written can easily block, which caused aio_copy to block the
312 process. no more!
313 - no longer rely on dst path in aio_copy when futime is available.
314
3153.19 Tue Apr 21 22:05:21 CEST 2009
316 - more perl 5.10 workarounds for aio_read and write.
317 - aio_write no longer modifies the sv (if possible).
318 - aio_read now works correctly with magic values.
319
3203.18 Sun Apr 19 21:17:32 CEST 2009
9 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh. 321 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh.
10 - try to avoid crash due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. 322 - try to avoid crashes due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. grmbl.
11 323
123.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008 3243.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008
13 - (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested). 325 - (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested).
14 - add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ. 326 - add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ.
