13
14TODO: remove fork support, eio_init can be called multiple times maybe
15TODO: "this might change" - no wrklock for malloc, no automatic free in child.
16 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
17 a timeout occured at the same time.
18 - (libeio) added realpath.
19 - (libeio) added fallocate.
20 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
21 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
22 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
23
243.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
25 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
26
273.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
28 - ecb.h was missing.
29
303.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
31 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
32 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
33 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
34 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
35 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
36 transferred...)
37 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
38 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
39 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
40 pthread and fork in perl.
41 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
42 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
43 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
44 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
45
463.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
47 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
48 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
49 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
50 flags.
51
523.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
53 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
54 - support a max_idle value of 0.
55 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
56
573.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
58 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
59 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
60 - new treescan option: --grep.
61 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
62
633.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
64 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
65 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
66 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
67 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
68 funcitonality. ugh.
69
703.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
71 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
72 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
73 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
74 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
75 (openbsd 4.8).
76 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
77 had string-data.
78 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
79 them.
80 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
81 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
82 user-errors better.
83 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
84
853.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
86 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
87 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
88 Rasmus Andersson).
89 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
90 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
91 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
92 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
93 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
94
953.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
96 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
97 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
98 kernel sources.
99 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
100 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
101 - clean up manpage.
102
1033.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
104 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
105 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
106 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
107 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
108 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
109 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
110
1113.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
112 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
113 - clarify cancel_subs description.
114 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
115 from the sendfile call.
116 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
117 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
118
1193.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
120 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
121 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
122 hash lookups.
123
1243.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
125 - use common::sense.
126 - use common schmorp.h header.
127 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
128 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
129 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
130
1313.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
132 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
133
1343.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
135 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
136 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
137 way. might help other os's too.
138
1393.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
140 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
141 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
142 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
143 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
144 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
145 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
146 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
147 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
148 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
149 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
150 but should not have been.
151 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
152 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
153
1543.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
155 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
156 rushed 3.22 release.
8 157
93.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009 1583.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
10 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly. 159 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
11 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball. 160 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
