22 - (libeio) implement aio_realpath for win32.
23 - (xthread) work around compile time bugs in ptw32.
24
254.19 Sun Jan 6 12:47:26 CET 2013
26 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
27 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]
28 and call rename/rmdir instead of renameat/unlinkat.
29
304.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
31 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
32
334.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
34 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
35 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
36 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
37 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
38 as per unix spec.
39
404.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
41 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
42 it to malfunction for paths.
43 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
44 extents.
45 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
46 trash fiemap input arguments.
47 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
48 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
49 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
50 truncates segment count if a file.
51 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
52 to quick overview.
53 - splice can corrupt data.
54 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
55 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
56 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.
57 - provide pread/pwrite for win32, making it link again on native win32.
58
594.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
60 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
61 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
62 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
63 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
64 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
65 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
66
674.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
68 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
69 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
70 - new request aio_seek.
71 - new request aio_fiemap.
72 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
73
744.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
75 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
76 instead of -1.
77 - port to c89.
78
794.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
80 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
81
824.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
83 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
84 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
85 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
86 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
87 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
88 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
89 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
90 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
91 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
92 in aio_scandir and treescan.
93 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
94 - added --progress switch to treescan.
95
964.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
97 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
98 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
99 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
100 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
101 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
102 a timeout occured at the same time.
103 - (libeio) added realpath.
104 - (libeio) added fallocate.
105 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
106 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
107 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
108
1093.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
110 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
111
1123.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
113 - ecb.h was missing.
114
1153.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
116 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
117 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
118 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
119 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
120 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
121 transferred...)
122 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
123 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
124 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
125 pthread and fork in perl.
126 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
127 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
128 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
129 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
130
1313.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
132 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
133 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
134 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
135 flags.
136
1373.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
138 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
139 - support a max_idle value of 0.
140 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
141
1423.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
143 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
144 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
145 - new treescan option: --grep.
146 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
147
1483.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
149 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
150 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
151 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
152 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
153 funcitonality. ugh.
154
1553.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
156 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
157 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
158 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
159 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
160 (openbsd 4.8).
161 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
162 had string-data.
163 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
164 them.
165 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
166 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
167 user-errors better.
168 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
169
1703.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
171 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
172 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
173 Rasmus Andersson).
174 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
175 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
176 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
177 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
178 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
179
1803.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
181 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
182 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
183 kernel sources.
184 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
185 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
186 - clean up manpage.
187
1883.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
189 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
190 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
191 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
192 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
193 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
194 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
195
1963.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
197 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
198 - clarify cancel_subs description.
199 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
200 from the sendfile call.
201 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
202 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
203
2043.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
205 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
206 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
207 hash lookups.
208
2093.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
210 - use common::sense.
211 - use common schmorp.h header.
212 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
213 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
214 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
215
2163.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
217 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
218
2193.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
220 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
221 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
222 way. might help other os's too.
223
2243.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
225 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
226 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
227 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
228 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
229 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
230 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
231 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
232 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
233 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
234 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
235 but should not have been.
236 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
237 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
238
2393.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
240 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
241 rushed 3.22 release.
8 242
93.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009 2433.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
10 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly. 244 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
11 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball. 245 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
