8 8
9 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
10 - install bin/treescan by default.
11 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
12
133.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
14 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
15 not restore the file offset.
16 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
17 the names in various ways.
18 - unfortunately, utime, chmod, chown on an open file that has just
19 been written can easily block, which caused aio_copy to block the
20 process. no more!
21 - no longer rely on dst path in aio_copy when futime is available.
22
233.19 Tue Apr 21 22:05:21 CEST 2009
24 - more perl 5.10 workarounds for aio_read and write.
25 - aio_write no longer modifies the sv (if possible).
26 - aio_read now works correctly with magic values.
27
283.18 Sun Apr 19 21:17:32 CEST 2009
29 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh.
30 - try to avoid crashes due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. grmbl.
31
323.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008
33 - (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested).
34 - add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ.
35
363.16 Wed Oct 22 18:28:01 CEST 2008
37 - use SvREFCNT_inc instead of SvREFCNT_inc_NN in a non-speed critical
38 part to improve portability to perl 5.8 (reported by szymon).
39
403.15 Mon Oct 13 00:39:55 CEST 2008
41 - automatic removal of feeders was broken.
42 - (libeio) use a more robust method to detect whether a feeder
43 has added something to the group or not.
44
453.1 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
46 - pre-deref the passed callback object, for increased speed
47 and decreased memory usage.
48 - call on_next_submit callback even for aio_group - impact unknown,
49 but seems more correct.
50 - $req->cb now returns the original callback.
51 - (libeio) pass EIO_GROUP/aio_group requests through the queue without
52 requiring a thread switch.
53 - (libeio) status code of aio_futime and aio_utime was always passed 0.
54 - do some other ยต-optimisations.
55
563.07 Sat Aug 2 16:06:13 CEST 2008
57 - do not include LIBS in autoconf tests.
58
593.06 Tue Jul 15 12:41:32 CEST 2008
60 - move preadwritelock definition before it's first reference,
61 to make it compile again on broken platforms (they still exist)
62 or badly cofngiured perls (redhat...), reported by Rob Bloodgood.
63
643.05 Thu Jun 19 23:23:52 CEST 2008
65 - work around perl overriding readdir etc. with thread-unsafe
66 (sic!) versions.
67
683.04 Wed Jun 18 01:35:38 CEST 2008
69 - (libeio) fix eio_mknod, which confused it's arguments.
70 - (libeio) do not use readdir_r, as Ulrich Drepper pointed out that this
71 is stupid.
72 - (libeio) fix eio__readahead prototype, patch by Jost Krieger.
73 - (libeio) fix a bug that could potentially cause IO::AIO
74 not to get initialised properly.
75
763.03 Thu May 29 05:33:30 CEST 2008
77 - (libeio) correctly call pthread_attr_destroy ().
78 - (libeio) work around broken bsd headers once more.
79 - reduce shared library size again by not including wrappers.
80 - max_outstanding could cause poll to enter a busy-waiting loop.
81 - document the new IO::AIO::poll_cb result value.
82
833.02 Mon May 12 02:32:02 CEST 2008
84 - fix a memory leak on aio_readlink.
85 - bring back working fchmod.
86 - nop and busy now set result to 0.
87 - set errno to ENOMEM when allocation fails.
88
893.01 Sun May 11 03:07:03 CEST 2008
90 - (libeio) make it compile on systems without readahead or readdir_r.
91 - (libeio) improve configure check for readahead availability.
92 - do not try to link against -lrt.
93 - use a separate configure script for IO::AIO (not the libeio one).
94
953.0 Sun May 11 00:57:14 CEST 2008
96 - added bin/treescan to the distribution.
97 - switched to using libeio.
98 - LOTS OF INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
99 - remove signal functionality, it is not worth the effort.
100 - max_outstanding no longer returns the previous number of requests.
101 - poll_cb no longer returns number of requests.
102
1032.62 Sat Apr 26 13:59:33 CEST 2008
104 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
105 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
106 - keep a reference to the perl filehandle object in aio_close,
107 so it doesn't get closed prematurely, leading to ugly races.
108
1092.61 Wed Apr 16 18:45:02 CEST 2008
110 - fix treescan output duplication and improve output ordering.
111 also display files given on the commandline.
112 - use a different algorithm for aio_close that is faster
113 and probably has even lower chances of blocking.
114 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
115 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
116 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
117 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
118 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
119
1202.6 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
121 - added aio_sync.
122 - added aio_pathsync.
123 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
124
1252.51 Sat Oct 6 16:04:54 CEST 2007
126 - perlio isn't generally threadsafe, so aio_close could not work reliably.
127 aio_close now tries a safe hack that might not be that asynchronous
128 (see the manpage for details).
129 - discard callback return values as to not grow the stack endlessly
130 when poll_cb handles many requests without returning.
131 - minor code cleanups.
132
1332.5 Thu Oct 4 14:49:08 CEST 2007
134 - replaced _fd2fh with faster xs code.
135 - aio_close will now try to do "the right thing" and thus might
136 work sensibly for the very first time.
137
1382.41 Mon Sep 24 21:28:21 CEST 2007
139 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
140 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
141 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
142 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
143
1442.4 Sun Aug 5 18:44:22 CEST 2007
145 - add aio_truncate, aio_chmod, aio_chown, aio_utime (linux
146 successfully demonstrated that you can block on futimes...).
147 - allow undef as fileoffset for aio_read/write and use read/write(2)
148 internally (useful for sockets or O_APPEND handles).
149 - allow undef for length in aio_write.
150 - negative dataoffsets work as expected now in aio_read/aio_write.
151 - use NV instead of UV for 32 bit perls and file offsets, as NVs
152 have a larger range then.
153 - shared code between BDB and IO::AIO.
154 - aio_busy was completely broken. now fixed.
155 - readahead emulation now returns something.
156 - correctly set errno to ENOSYS on unimplemented functions
157 (should never happen, though).
158 - large changes to make it partially compile and run on win32,
159 but win32 lacks too much functionality, and perl overrides way
160 too many functions with crashing versions.
161
1622.33 Tue Jan 23 23:55:41 CET 2007
163 - fix install path (Andreas J. Koenig).
164
1652.32 Mon Jan 22 16:56:23 CET 2007
166 - added aio_rmtree.
167 - wow, aio_mkdir was missing.
168 - aio_load did return undef on error, not -1.
169 - use prefixexp not prefix in autoconf.pm
170 (suggested by ... rt.cpan.org unreachable).
171 - avoid installing autoconf.pm.
172
1732.31 Sat Jan 6 03:46:02 CET 2007
174 - added aio_load.
175
1762.3 Sat Dec 23 05:48:07 CET 2006
177 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_read, causing memory corruption
178 or crashes.
179
1802.21 Fri Dec 22 05:03:38 CET 2006
9 - minor doc updates. 181 - minor doc updates.
10 - minor cleanups. 182 - minor cleanups.
11 - IO::AIO::poll returns request count. 183 - IO::AIO::poll returns request count.
12 - undocumented and unfinished async-signal-reporting. 184 - undocumented and unfinished async-signal-reporting.
