11TODO: MS_xxx, posix_fadvise
12 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
13 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
14 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
15
163.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
17 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
18 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
19 - add lots of newre POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
20 flags.
21
223.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
23 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
24 - support a max_idle value of 0.
25 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
26
273.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
28 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
29 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
30 - new treescan option: --grep.
31 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
32
333.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
34 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
35 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
36 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
37 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
38 funcitonality. ugh.
39
403.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
41 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
42 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
43 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
44 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
45 (openbsd 4.8).
46 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
47 had string-data.
48 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
49 them.
50 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
51 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
52 user-errors better.
53 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
54
553.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
56 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
57 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
58 Rasmus Andersson).
59 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
60 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
61 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
62 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
63 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
64
653.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
66 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
67 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
68 kernel sources.
69 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
70 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
71 - clean up manpage.
72
733.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
74 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
75 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
76 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
77 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
78 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
79 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
80
813.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
82 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
83 - clarify cancel_subs description.
84 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
85 from the sendfile call.
86 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
87 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
88
893.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
90 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
91 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
92 hash lookups.
93
943.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
95 - use common::sense.
96 - use common schmorp.h header.
97 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
98 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
99 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
100
1013.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
102 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
103
1043.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
105 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
106 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
107 way. might help other os's too.
108
1093.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
110 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
111 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
112 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
113 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
114 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
115 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
116 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
117 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
118 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
119 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
120 but should not have been.
121 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
122 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
123
1243.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
125 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
126 rushed 3.22 release.
127
1283.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
129 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
130 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
131
1323.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
9 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan. 133 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
10 - install bin/treescan by default. 134 - install bin/treescan by default.
11 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing. 135 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
136 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
137 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
138 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
139 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
140 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
141 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
