93.2 13 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on files without any
10TODO: aio_scandir should short-circuit the case of no DT_UNKNOWN. 14 extents.
15 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
16 trash fiemap input arguments.
17 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
18 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
19 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
20 to quick overview.
21 - splice can corrupt data.
22 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
23 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
24 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.
25
264.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
27 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
28 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
29 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
30 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
31 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
32 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
33
344.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
35 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
36 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
37 - new request aio_seek.
38 - new request aio_fiemap.
39 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
40
414.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
42 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
43 instead of -1.
44 - port to c89.
45
464.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
47 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
48
494.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
50 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
51 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
52 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
53 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
54 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
55 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
56 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
57 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
58 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
59 in aio_scandir and treescan.
60 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
61 - added --progress switch to treescan.
62
634.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
64 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
65 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
66 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
67 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
68 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
69 a timeout occured at the same time.
70 - (libeio) added realpath.
71 - (libeio) added fallocate.
72 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
73 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
74 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
75
763.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
77 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
78
793.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
80 - ecb.h was missing.
81
823.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
83 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
84 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
85 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
86 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
87 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
88 transferred...)
89 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
90 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
91 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
92 pthread and fork in perl.
93 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
94 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
95 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
96 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
97
983.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
99 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
100 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
101 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
102 flags.
103
1043.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
105 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
106 - support a max_idle value of 0.
107 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
108
1093.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
110 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
111 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
112 - new treescan option: --grep.
113 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
114
1153.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
116 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
117 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
118 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
119 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
120 funcitonality. ugh.
121
1223.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
123 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
124 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
125 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
126 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
127 (openbsd 4.8).
128 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
129 had string-data.
130 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
131 them.
132 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
133 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
134 user-errors better.
135 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
136
1373.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
138 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
139 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
140 Rasmus Andersson).
141 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
142 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
143 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
144 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
145 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
146
1473.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
148 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
149 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
150 kernel sources.
151 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
152 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
153 - clean up manpage.
154
1553.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
156 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
157 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
158 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
159 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
160 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
161 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
162
1633.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
164 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
165 - clarify cancel_subs description.
166 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
167 from the sendfile call.
168 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
169 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
170
1713.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
172 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
173 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
174 hash lookups.
175
1763.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
177 - use common::sense.
178 - use common schmorp.h header.
179 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
180 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
181 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
182
1833.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
184 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
185
1863.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
187 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
188 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
189 way. might help other os's too.
190
1913.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
192 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
193 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
194 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
195 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
196 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
197 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
198 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
199 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
200 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
201 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
202 but should not have been.
203 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
204 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
205
2063.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
207 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
208 rushed 3.22 release.
209
2103.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
211 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
212 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
213
2143.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
215 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
216 - install bin/treescan by default.
217 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
218 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
219 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
220 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
221 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
222 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
223 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
224
2253.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
