45 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::get_fdlimit and IO::AIO::min_fdlimit.
46 - point out that aio_copy overwrites existing files.
47 - removed filesystem magic number table from aio_statvfs docs as
48 statvfs doesn't actually return this info at all (statfs does).

63 and better eventfd detection.
64
654.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
66 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
67 compile errors on various platforms.
68 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
69 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
70 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
71 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
72 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
73 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
74
754.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
76 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
77 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
78 constants.
79 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.

93 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
94
954.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
96 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
97 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
98 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
99 compatibility - I will never understand.
100
1014.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
102 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
103 the stack after req_submit.

115
1164.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
117 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
118
1194.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
120 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
121 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
122 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
123 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
124 as per unix spec.
125
1264.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
127 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
128 it to malfunction for paths.
129 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
130 extents.
131 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
132 trash fiemap input arguments.
133 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
134 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
135 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
136 truncates segment count if a file.

144
1454.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
146 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
147 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
148 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
149 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
150 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
151 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
152
1534.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
154 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
155 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
156 - new request aio_seek.
157 - new request aio_fiemap.
158 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
159
1604.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
161 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
162 instead of -1.
163 - port to c89.
164
1654.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
166 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
167
1684.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
169 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
170 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.

172 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
173 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
174 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
175 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
176 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
177 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
178 in aio_scandir and treescan.
179 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
180 - added --progress switch to treescan.
181
1824.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
183 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
184 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
185 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
186 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
187 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
188 a timeout occured at the same time.
189 - (libeio) added realpath.
190 - (libeio) added fallocate.
191 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.

194
1953.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
196 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
197
1983.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
199 - ecb.h was missing.
200
2013.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
202 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
203 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
204 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
205 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
206 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
207 transferred...)
208 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
209 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
210 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
211 pthread and fork in perl.
212 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
213 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
214 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
215 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
216
2173.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
218 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
219 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
220 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
221 flags.
222
2233.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
224 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
225 - support a max_idle value of 0.
226 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
227
2283.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
229 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
230 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
231 - new treescan option: --grep.
232 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
233
2343.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
235 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
236 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
237 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
238 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
239 funcitonality. ugh.
240
2413.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
242 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
243 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
244 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
245 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
246 (openbsd 4.8).
247 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
248 had string-data.
249 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
250 them.
251 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
252 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
253 user-errors better.
254 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
255
2563.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
257 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
258 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
259 Rasmus Andersson).
260 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
261 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
262 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
263 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
264 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
265
2663.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
267 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
268 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
269 kernel sources.
270 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
271 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
272 - clean up manpage.
273
2743.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
275 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
276 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
277 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
278 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
279 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
280 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
281
2823.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
283 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
284 - clarify cancel_subs description.
285 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
286 from the sendfile call.
287 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
288 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
289
2903.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
291 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
292 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
293 hash lookups.
294
2953.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
296 - use common::sense.
297 - use common schmorp.h header.
298 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
299 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
300 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
301
3023.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
303 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
304
3053.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
306 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
307 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
308 way. might help other os's too.
309
3103.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
311 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
312 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
313 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
314 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
315 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
316 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
317 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
318 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
319 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
320 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
321 but should not have been.
322 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
323 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
324
3253.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
326 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
327 rushed 3.22 release.
328
3293.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
330 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
331 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
332
3333.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
9 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan. 334 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
10 - install bin/treescan by default. 335 - install bin/treescan by default.
11 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing. 336 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
337 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
338 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
339 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
340 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
341 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
342 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
12 343
133.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009 3443.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
14 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did 345 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
15 not restore the file offset. 346 not restore the file offset.
16 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort 347 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
