14 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
15 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
16 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
17 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
18 files (fortunately it vchecks that the whole file has been
19 transferred...)
20 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
21 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
22
233.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
24 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
25 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
26 - add lots of newre POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
27 flags.
28
293.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
30 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
31 - support a max_idle value of 0.
32 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
33
343.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
35 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
36 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
37 - new treescan option: --grep.
38 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
39
403.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
41 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
42 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
43 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
44 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
45 funcitonality. ugh.
46
473.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
48 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
49 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
50 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
51 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
52 (openbsd 4.8).
53 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
54 had string-data.
55 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
56 them.
57 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
58 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
59 user-errors better.
60 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
61
623.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
63 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
64 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
65 Rasmus Andersson).
66 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
67 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
68 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
69 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
70 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
71
723.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
73 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
74 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
75 kernel sources.
76 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
77 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
78 - clean up manpage.
79
803.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
81 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
82 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
83 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
84 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
85 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
86 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
87
883.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
89 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
90 - clarify cancel_subs description.
91 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
92 from the sendfile call.
93 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
94 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
95
963.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
97 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
98 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
99 hash lookups.
100
1013.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
102 - use common::sense.
103 - use common schmorp.h header.
104 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
105 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
106 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
107
1083.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
109 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
110
1113.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
112 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
113 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
114 way. might help other os's too.
115
1163.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
117 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
118 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
119 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
120 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
121 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
122 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
123 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
124 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
125 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
126 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
127 but should not have been.
128 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
129 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
130
1313.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
132 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
133 rushed 3.22 release.
8 134
93.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009 1353.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
10 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly. 136 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
11 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball. 137 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
