8 10
11 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
12 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
13
144.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
15 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
16 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
17 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
18 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
19 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
20 a timeout occured at the same time.
21 - (libeio) added realpath.
22 - (libeio) added fallocate.
23 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
24 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
25 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
26
273.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
28 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
29
303.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
31 - ecb.h was missing.
32
333.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
34 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
35 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
36 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
37 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
38 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
39 transferred...)
40 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
41 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
42 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
43 pthread and fork in perl.
44 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
45 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
46 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
47 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
48
493.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
50 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
51 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
52 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
53 flags.
54
553.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
56 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
57 - support a max_idle value of 0.
58 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
59
603.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
61 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
62 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
63 - new treescan option: --grep.
64 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
65
663.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
67 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
68 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
69 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
70 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
71 funcitonality. ugh.
72
733.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
74 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
75 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
76 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
77 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
78 (openbsd 4.8).
79 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
80 had string-data.
81 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
82 them.
83 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
84 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
85 user-errors better.
86 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
87
883.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
89 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
90 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
91 Rasmus Andersson).
92 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
93 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
94 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
95 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
96 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
97
983.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
99 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
100 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
101 kernel sources.
102 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
103 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
104 - clean up manpage.
105
1063.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
107 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
108 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
109 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
110 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
111 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
112 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
113
1143.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
115 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
116 - clarify cancel_subs description.
117 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
118 from the sendfile call.
119 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
120 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
121
1223.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
123 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
124 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
125 hash lookups.
126
1273.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
128 - use common::sense.
129 - use common schmorp.h header.
130 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
131 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
132 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
133
1343.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
135 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
136
1373.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
138 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
139 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
140 way. might help other os's too.
141
1423.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
143 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
144 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
145 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
146 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
147 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
148 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
149 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
150 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
151 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
152 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
153 but should not have been.
154 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
155 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
156
1573.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
158 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
159 rushed 3.22 release.
160
1613.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
162 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
163 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
164
1653.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
9 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan. 166 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
10 - install bin/treescan by default. 167 - install bin/treescan by default.
11 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing. 168 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
169 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
170 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
171 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
172 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
173 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
174 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
12 175
133.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009 1763.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
14 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did 177 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
15 not restore the file offset. 178 not restore the file offset.
16 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort 179 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
