143.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
15 - ecb.h was missing.
16
173.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
18 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
19 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
20 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
21 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
22 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
23 transferred...)
24 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
25 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
26 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
27 pthread and fork in perl.
28 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
29 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
30 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
31 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
32
333.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
34 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
35 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
36 - add lots of newre POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
37 flags.
38
393.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
40 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
41 - support a max_idle value of 0.
42 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
43
443.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
45 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
46 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
47 - new treescan option: --grep.
48 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
49
503.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
51 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
52 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
53 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
54 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
55 funcitonality. ugh.
56
573.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
58 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
59 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
60 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
61 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
62 (openbsd 4.8).
63 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
64 had string-data.
65 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
66 them.
67 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
68 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
69 user-errors better.
70 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
71
723.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
73 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
74 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
75 Rasmus Andersson).
76 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
77 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
78 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
79 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
80 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
81
823.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
83 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
84 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
85 kernel sources.
86 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
87 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
88 - clean up manpage.
89
903.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
91 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
92 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
93 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
94 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
95 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
96 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
97
983.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
99 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
100 - clarify cancel_subs description.
101 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
102 from the sendfile call.
103 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
104 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
105
1063.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
107 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
108 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
109 hash lookups.
110
1113.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
112 - use common::sense.
113 - use common schmorp.h header.
114 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
115 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
116 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
117
1183.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
119 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
120
1213.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
122 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
123 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
124 way. might help other os's too.
125
1263.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
127 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
128 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
129 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
130 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
131 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
132 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
133 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
134 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
135 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
136 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
137 but should not have been.
138 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
139 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
140
1413.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
142 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
143 rushed 3.22 release.
144
1453.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
146 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
147 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
148
1493.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
150 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
151 - install bin/treescan by default.
152 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
153 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
154 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
155 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
156 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
157 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
158 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.

93.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009 1603.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
10 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did 161 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
11 not restore the file offset. 162 not restore the file offset.
