8 11
9 - avoid some degenerate sorting cases on systems without d_ino, 12 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
10 or when the dentries are mostly sorted by inode already (common 13 to quick overview.
11 with freshly unpacked tarfiles for example). 14 - splice can corrupt data.
15
164.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
17 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
18 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
19 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
20 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
21 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
22 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
23
244.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
25 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
26 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
27 - new request aio_seek.
28 - new request aio_fiemap.
29 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
30
314.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
32 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
33 instead of -1.
34 - port to c89.
35
364.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
37 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
38
394.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
40 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
41 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
42 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
43 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
44 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
45 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
46 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
47 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
48 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
49 in aio_scandir and treescan.
50 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
51 - added --progress switch to treescan.
52
534.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
54 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
55 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
56 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
57 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
58 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
59 a timeout occured at the same time.
60 - (libeio) added realpath.
61 - (libeio) added fallocate.
62 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
63 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
64 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
65
663.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
67 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
68
693.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
70 - ecb.h was missing.
71
723.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
73 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
74 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
75 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
76 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
77 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
78 transferred...)
79 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
80 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
81 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
82 pthread and fork in perl.
83 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
84 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
85 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
86 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
87
883.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
89 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
90 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
91 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
92 flags.
93
943.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
95 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
96 - support a max_idle value of 0.
97 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
98
993.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
100 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
101 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
102 - new treescan option: --grep.
103 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
104
1053.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
106 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
107 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
108 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
109 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
110 funcitonality. ugh.
111
1123.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
113 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
114 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
115 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
116 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
117 (openbsd 4.8).
118 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
119 had string-data.
120 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
121 them.
122 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
123 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
124 user-errors better.
125 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
126
1273.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
128 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
129 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
130 Rasmus Andersson).
131 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
132 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
133 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
134 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
135 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
136
1373.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
138 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
139 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
140 kernel sources.
141 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
142 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
143 - clean up manpage.
144
1453.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
146 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
147 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
148 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
149 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
150 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
151 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
152
1533.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
154 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
155 - clarify cancel_subs description.
156 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
157 from the sendfile call.
158 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
159 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
160
1613.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
162 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
163 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
164 hash lookups.
165
1663.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
167 - use common::sense.
168 - use common schmorp.h header.
169 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
170 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
171 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
172
1733.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
174 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
175
1763.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
177 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
178 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
179 way. might help other os's too.
180
1813.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
182 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
183 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
184 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
185 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
186 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
12 - correctly sort dirs by inodes only if we have perfect type 187 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
13 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used. 188 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
14 - speed up directory entry sorting further by some 20%. 189 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
190 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
191 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
192 but should not have been.
193 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
194 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
15 195
163.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009 1963.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
17 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the 197 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
18 rushed 3.22 release. 198 rushed 3.22 release.
