12 - new request aio_seek.
13 - new request aio_fiemap.
14 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
15 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
16 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
17
184.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
19 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
20 instead of -1.
21 - port to c89.
22
234.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
24 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
25
264.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
27 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
28 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
29 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
30 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
31 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
32 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
33 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
34 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
35 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
36 in aio_scandir and treescan.
37 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
38 - added --progress switch to treescan.
39
404.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
41 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
42 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
43 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
44 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
45 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
46 a timeout occured at the same time.
47 - (libeio) added realpath.
48 - (libeio) added fallocate.
49 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
50 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
51 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
52
533.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
54 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
55
563.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
57 - ecb.h was missing.
58
593.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
60 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
61 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
62 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
63 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
64 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
65 transferred...)
66 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
67 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
68 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
69 pthread and fork in perl.
70 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
71 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
72 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
73 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
74
753.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
76 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
77 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
78 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
79 flags.
80
813.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
82 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
83 - support a max_idle value of 0.
84 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
85
863.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
87 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
88 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
89 - new treescan option: --grep.
90 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
91
923.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
93 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
94 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
95 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
96 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
97 funcitonality. ugh.
98
993.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
100 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
101 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
102 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
103 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
104 (openbsd 4.8).
105 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
106 had string-data.
107 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
108 them.
109 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
110 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
111 user-errors better.
112 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
113
1143.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
115 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
116 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
117 Rasmus Andersson).
118 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
119 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
120 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
121 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
122 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
123
1243.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
125 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
126 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
127 kernel sources.
128 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
129 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
130 - clean up manpage.
131
1323.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010

134 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
135 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
136 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
137 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
138 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
139
1403.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
141 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
142 - clarify cancel_subs description.
143 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
144 from the sendfile call.
145 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
146 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
147
1483.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
149 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
150 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
151 hash lookups.
152
1533.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
154 - use common::sense.
155 - use common schmorp.h header.
156 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
157 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
158 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
159
1603.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
161 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
162
1633.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
164 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
165 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
166 way. might help other os's too.
167
1683.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
169 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
9 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix 170 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
10 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually 171 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
11 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on 172 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
12 degenerated (for quicksort) data. 173 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
13 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type 174 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
14 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used. 175 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
15 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no 176 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
16 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue. 177 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
17 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code 178 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
18 but should not have been. 179 but should not have been.
180 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
181 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
