47 (see aio_ioctl docs).
48 - treescan now has a proper manpage and useful --help output.
49 - new option --sync in treescan, to sync everything in a subtree.

51
524.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
53 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
54 compile errors on various platforms.
55 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
56 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
57 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
58 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
59 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
60 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
61
624.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
63 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
64 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
65 constants.
66 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
67 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK

80 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
81
824.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
83 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
84 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
85 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
86 compatibility - I will never understand.
87
884.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
89 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
90 the stack after req_submit.

102
1034.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
104 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
105

107 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
108 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
109 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
110 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
111 as per unix spec.
112
1134.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
114 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
115 it to malfunction for paths.
116 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
117 extents.
118 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
119 trash fiemap input arguments.
120 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
121 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
122 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
123 truncates segment count if a file.
124 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
125 to quick overview.
126 - splice can corrupt data.
127 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
128 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
129 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.

131
1324.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
133 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
134 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
135 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
136 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
137 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
138 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
139
1404.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
141 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
142 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
143 - new request aio_seek.
144 - new request aio_fiemap.
145 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
146
1474.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
148 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
149 instead of -1.
150 - port to c89.
151
1524.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
153 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
154
1554.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
156 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
157 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
158 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
159 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
160 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
161 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
162 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
163 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
164 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
165 in aio_scandir and treescan.
166 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
167 - added --progress switch to treescan.
168
1694.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
170 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
171 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
172 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
173 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
174 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
175 a timeout occured at the same time.
176 - (libeio) added realpath.
177 - (libeio) added fallocate.
178 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
179 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
180 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
181
1823.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
183 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
184
1853.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
186 - ecb.h was missing.
187
1883.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
189 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
190 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
191 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
192 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
193 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
194 transferred...)
195 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
196 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
197 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
198 pthread and fork in perl.
199 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
200 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
201 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
202 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
203
2043.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
205 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
206 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
207 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
208 flags.
209
2103.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
211 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
212 - support a max_idle value of 0.
213 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
214
2153.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
216 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
217 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
218 - new treescan option: --grep.
219 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
220
2213.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
222 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
223 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
224 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
225 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
226 funcitonality. ugh.
227
2283.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
229 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
230 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
231 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
232 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
233 (openbsd 4.8).
234 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
235 had string-data.
236 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
237 them.
238 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
239 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
240 user-errors better.
241 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
242
2433.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
244 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
245 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
246 Rasmus Andersson).
247 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
248 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
249 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
250 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
251 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
252
2533.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
254 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
255 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
256 kernel sources.
257 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
258 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
259 - clean up manpage.
260
2613.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
262 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
263 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
264 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
265 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
266 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
267 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
268
2693.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
270 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
271 - clarify cancel_subs description.
272 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
273 from the sendfile call.
274 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
275 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
276
2773.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
278 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
279 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
280 hash lookups.
281
2823.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
283 - use common::sense.
284 - use common schmorp.h header.
285 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
286 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
287 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
288
2893.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
290 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
291
2923.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
293 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
294 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
295 way. might help other os's too.
296
2973.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
298 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
299 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
300 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
301 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
302 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
303 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
304 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
305 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
306 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
307 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
308 but should not have been.
309 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
310 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
311
3123.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
313 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
314 rushed 3.22 release.
315
3163.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
317 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
318 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
319
3203.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
321 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
322 - install bin/treescan by default.
323 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
324 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
325 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
326 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
327 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
328 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
329 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.

93.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009 3313.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
10 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did 332 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
11 not restore the file offset. 333 not restore the file offset.
12 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort 334 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
