15TODO: "this might change"
16 - (libeio) added realpath.
17 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke it.
18
193.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
20 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
21
223.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
23 - ecb.h was missing.
24
253.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
26 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
27 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
28 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
29 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
30 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
31 transferred...)
32 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
33 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
34 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
35 pthread and fork in perl.
36 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
37 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
38 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
39 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
40
413.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
42 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
43 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
44 - add lots of newre POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
45 flags.
46
473.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
48 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
49 - support a max_idle value of 0.
50 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
51
523.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
53 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
54 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
55 - new treescan option: --grep.
56 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
57
583.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
59 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
60 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
61 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
62 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
63 funcitonality. ugh.
64
653.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
66 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
67 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
68 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
69 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
70 (openbsd 4.8).
71 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
72 had string-data.
73 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
74 them.
75 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
76 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
77 user-errors better.
78 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
79
803.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
81 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
82 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
83 Rasmus Andersson).
84 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
85 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
86 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
87 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
88 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
89
903.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
91 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
92 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
93 kernel sources.
94 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
95 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
96 - clean up manpage.
97
983.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
99 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
100 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
101 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
102 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
103 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
104 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
105
1063.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
107 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
108 - clarify cancel_subs description.
109 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
110 from the sendfile call.
111 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
112 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
113
1143.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
115 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
116 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
117 hash lookups.
118
1193.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
120 - use common::sense.
121 - use common schmorp.h header.
122 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
123 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
124 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
125
1263.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
127 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
128
1293.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
130 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
131 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
132 way. might help other os's too.
133
1343.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
135 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
136 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
137 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
138 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
139 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
140 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
141 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
142 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
143 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
144 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
145 but should not have been.
146 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
147 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
148
1493.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
150 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
151 rushed 3.22 release.
152
1533.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
154 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
155 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
156
1573.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
9 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan. 158 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
10 - install bin/treescan by default. 159 - install bin/treescan by default.
160 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
161 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
162 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
163 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
164 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
165 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
166 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
11 167
123.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009 1683.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
13 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did 169 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
14 not restore the file offset. 170 not restore the file offset.
15 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort 171 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
