9 - avoid some degenerate sorting cases on systems without d_ino, 12 - alweays include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
10 or when the dentries are mostly sorted by inode already (common 13 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
11 with freshly unpacked tarfiles for example). 14
154.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
16 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
17 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
18 - new request aio_seek.
19 - new request aio_fiemap.
20 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
21
224.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
23 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
24 instead of -1.
25 - port to c89.
26
274.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
28 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
29
304.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
31 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
32 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
33 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
34 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
35 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
36 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
37 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
38 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
39 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
40 in aio_scandir and treescan.
41 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
42 - added --progress switch to treescan.
43
444.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
45 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
46 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
47 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
48 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
49 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
50 a timeout occured at the same time.
51 - (libeio) added realpath.
52 - (libeio) added fallocate.
53 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
54 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
55 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
56
573.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
58 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
59
603.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
61 - ecb.h was missing.
62
633.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
64 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
65 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
66 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
67 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
68 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
69 transferred...)
70 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
71 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
72 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
73 pthread and fork in perl.
74 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
75 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
76 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
77 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
78
793.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
80 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
81 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
82 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
83 flags.
84
853.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
86 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
87 - support a max_idle value of 0.
88 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
89
903.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
91 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
92 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
93 - new treescan option: --grep.
94 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
95
963.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
97 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
98 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
99 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
100 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
101 funcitonality. ugh.
102
1033.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
104 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
105 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
106 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
107 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
108 (openbsd 4.8).
109 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
110 had string-data.
111 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
112 them.
113 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
114 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
115 user-errors better.
116 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
117
1183.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
119 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
120 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
121 Rasmus Andersson).
122 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
123 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
124 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
125 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
126 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
127
1283.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
129 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
130 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
131 kernel sources.
132 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
133 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
134 - clean up manpage.
135
1363.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
137 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
138 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
139 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
140 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
141 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
142 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
143
1443.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
145 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
146 - clarify cancel_subs description.
147 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
148 from the sendfile call.
149 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
150 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
151
1523.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
153 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
154 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
155 hash lookups.
156
1573.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
158 - use common::sense.
159 - use common schmorp.h header.
160 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
161 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
162 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
163
1643.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
165 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
166
1673.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
168 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
169 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
170 way. might help other os's too.
171
1723.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
173 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
174 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
175 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
176 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
177 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
12 - correctly sort dirs by inodes only if we have perfect type 178 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
13 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used. 179 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
14 - speed up directory entry sorting further by some 20%. 180 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
181 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
182 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
183 but should not have been.
184 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
185 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
15 186
163.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009 1873.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
17 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the 188 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
18 rushed 3.22 release. 189 rushed 3.22 release.
