8 13
9 - avoid some degenerate sorting cases on systems without d_ino, 14 - (libeio) added realpath.
10 or when the dentries are mostly sorted by inode already (common 15
11 with freshly unpacked tarfiles for example). 163.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
17 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
18
193.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
20 - ecb.h was missing.
21
223.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
23 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
24 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
25 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
26 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
27 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
28 transferred...)
29 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
30 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
31 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
32 pthread and fork in perl.
33 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
34 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
35 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
36 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
37
383.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
39 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
40 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
41 - add lots of newre POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
42 flags.
43
443.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
45 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
46 - support a max_idle value of 0.
47 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
48
493.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
50 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
51 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
52 - new treescan option: --grep.
53 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
54
553.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
56 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
57 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
58 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
59 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
60 funcitonality. ugh.
61
623.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
63 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
64 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
65 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
66 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
67 (openbsd 4.8).
68 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
69 had string-data.
70 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
71 them.
72 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
73 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
74 user-errors better.
75 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
76
773.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
78 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
79 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
80 Rasmus Andersson).
81 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
82 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
83 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
84 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
85 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
86
873.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
88 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
89 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
90 kernel sources.
91 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
92 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
93 - clean up manpage.
94
953.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
96 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
97 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
98 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
99 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
100 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
101 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
102
1033.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
104 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
105 - clarify cancel_subs description.
106 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
107 from the sendfile call.
108 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
109 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
110
1113.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
112 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
113 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
114 hash lookups.
115
1163.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
117 - use common::sense.
118 - use common schmorp.h header.
119 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
120 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
121 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
122
1233.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
124 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
125
1263.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
127 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
128 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
129 way. might help other os's too.
130
1313.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
132 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
133 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
134 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
135 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
136 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
12 - correctly sort dirs by inodes only if we have perfect type 137 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
13 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used. 138 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
14 - speed up directory entry sorting further by some 20%. 139 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
140 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
141 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
142 but should not have been.
143 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
144 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).

163.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009 1463.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
17 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the 147 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
18 rushed 3.22 release. 148 rushed 3.22 release.
