133.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
14 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
15 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
16 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
17 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
18 funcitonality. ugh.
19
203.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
21 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
22 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
23 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
24 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
25 (openbsd 4.8).
26 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
27 had string-data.
28 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
29 them.
30 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
31 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
32 user-errors better.
33 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
34
353.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
36 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
37 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
38 Rasmus Andersson).
39 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
40 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
41 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
42 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
43 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
44
453.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
46 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
47 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
48 kernel sources.
49 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
50 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
51 - clean up manpage.
52
533.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
54 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
55 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
56 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
57 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
58 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
59 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
60
613.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
62 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
63 - clarify cancel_subs description.
64 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
65 from the sendfile call.
66 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
67 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
68
693.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
70 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
71 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
72 hash lookups.
73
743.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
75 - use common::sense.
76 - use common schmorp.h header.
77 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
78 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
79 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
80
813.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
82 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
83
843.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
85 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
86 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
87 way. might help other os's too.
88
893.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
90 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
91 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
92 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
93 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
94 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
95 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
96 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
97 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
98 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
99 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
100 but should not have been.
101 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
102 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
103
1043.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
105 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
106 rushed 3.22 release.
107
1083.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
109 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
110 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
111
1123.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
113 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
114 - install bin/treescan by default.
115 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
116 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
117 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
118 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
119 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
120 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
121 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
