13 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detetc mlock/munlock.
14 - new treescan option: --grep.
15 . add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
16
173.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
18 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
19 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
20 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
21 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
22 funcitonality. ugh.
23
243.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
25 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
26 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
27 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
28 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
29 (openbsd 4.8).
30 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
31 had string-data.
32 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
33 them.
34 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
35 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
36 user-errors better.
37 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
38
393.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
40 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
41 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
42 Rasmus Andersson).
43 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
44 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
45 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
46 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
47 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
48
493.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
50 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
51 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
52 kernel sources.
53 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
54 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
55 - clean up manpage.
56
573.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
58 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
59 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
60 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
61 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
62 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
63 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
64
653.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
66 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
67 - clarify cancel_subs description.
68 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
69 from the sendfile call.
70 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
71 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
72
733.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
74 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
75 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
76 hash lookups.
77
783.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
79 - use common::sense.
80 - use common schmorp.h header.
81 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
82 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
83 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
84
853.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
86 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
87
883.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
89 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
90 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
91 way. might help other os's too.
92
933.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
94 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
95 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
96 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
97 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
98 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
99 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
100 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
101 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
102 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
103 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
104 but should not have been.
105 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
106 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
107
1083.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
109 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
110 rushed 3.22 release.
111
1123.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
113 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
114 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
115
1163.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
117 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
118 - install bin/treescan by default.
119 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
120 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
121 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
122 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
123 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
124 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
125 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.

11 not restore the file offset. 129 not restore the file offset.
