9 - avoid some degenerate sorting cases on systems without d_ino, 14TODO: remove fork support, eio_init can be called multiple times maybe
10 or when the dentries are mostly sorted by inode already (common 15TODO: "this might change" - no wrklock for malloc, no automatic free in child.
11 with freshly unpacked tarfiles for example). 16 - passes testsuite on win32 now (activetstate 5.10.1).
17 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
18 a timeout occured at the same time.
19 - (libeio) added realpath.
20 - (libeio) added fallocate.
21 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
22 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
23 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
24
253.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
26 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
27
283.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
29 - ecb.h was missing.
30
313.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
32 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
33 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
34 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
35 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
36 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
37 transferred...)
38 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
39 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
40 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
41 pthread and fork in perl.
42 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
43 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
44 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
45 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
46
473.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
48 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
49 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
50 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
51 flags.
52
533.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
54 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
55 - support a max_idle value of 0.
56 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
57
583.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
59 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
60 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
61 - new treescan option: --grep.
62 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
63
643.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
65 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
66 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
67 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
68 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
69 funcitonality. ugh.
70
713.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
72 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
73 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
74 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
75 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
76 (openbsd 4.8).
77 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
78 had string-data.
79 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
80 them.
81 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
82 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
83 user-errors better.
84 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
85
863.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
87 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
88 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
89 Rasmus Andersson).
90 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
91 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
92 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
93 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
94 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
95
963.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
97 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
98 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
99 kernel sources.
100 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
101 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
102 - clean up manpage.
103
1043.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
105 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
106 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
107 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
108 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
109 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
110 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
111
1123.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
113 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
114 - clarify cancel_subs description.
115 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
116 from the sendfile call.
117 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
118 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
119
1203.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
121 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
122 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
123 hash lookups.
124
1253.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
126 - use common::sense.
127 - use common schmorp.h header.
128 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
129 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
130 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
131
1323.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
133 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
134
1353.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
136 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
137 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
138 way. might help other os's too.
139
1403.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
141 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
142 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
143 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
144 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
145 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
12 - correctly sort dirs by inodes only if we have perfect type 146 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
13 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used. 147 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
14 - speed up directory entry sorting further by some 20%. 148 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
149 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
150 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
151 but should not have been.
152 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
153 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
15 154
163.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009 1553.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
17 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the 156 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
18 rushed 3.22 release. 157 rushed 3.22 release.
