114.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
12 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
13 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
14 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
15 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
16 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
17 a timeout occured at the same time.
18 - (libeio) added realpath.
19 - (libeio) added fallocate.
20 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
21 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
22 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
23
243.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
25 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
26
273.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
28 - ecb.h was missing.
29
303.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
31 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
32 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
33 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
34 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
35 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
36 transferred...)
37 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
38 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
39 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
40 pthread and fork in perl.
41 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
42 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
43 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
44 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
45
463.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
47 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
48 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
49 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
50 flags.
51
523.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
53 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
54 - support a max_idle value of 0.
55 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
56
573.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
58 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
59 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
60 - new treescan option: --grep.
61 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
62
633.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
64 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
65 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
66 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
67 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
68 funcitonality. ugh.
69
703.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
71 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
72 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
73 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
74 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
75 (openbsd 4.8).
76 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
77 had string-data.
78 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
79 them.
80 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
81 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
82 user-errors better.
83 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
84
853.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
86 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
87 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
88 Rasmus Andersson).
89 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
90 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
91 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
92 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
93 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
94
953.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
96 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
97 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
98 kernel sources.
99 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
100 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
101 - clean up manpage.
102
1033.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
104 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
105 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
106 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
107 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
108 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
109 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
110
1113.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
112 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
113 - clarify cancel_subs description.
114 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
115 from the sendfile call.
116 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
117 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
118
1193.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
120 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
121 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
122 hash lookups.
123
1243.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
125 - use common::sense.
126 - use common schmorp.h header.
127 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
128 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
129 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
130
1313.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
132 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
133
1343.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
135 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
136 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
137 way. might help other os's too.
138
1393.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
140 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
9 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix 141 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
10 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually 142 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
11 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on 143 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
12 degenerated (for quicksort) data. 144 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
13 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type 145 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
14 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used. 146 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
15 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no 147 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
16 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue. 148 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
17 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code 149 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
18 but should not have been. 150 but should not have been.
151 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
152 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).

203.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009 1543.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
