13 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on files without any
14 extents.
15 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
16 trash fiemap input arguments.
17 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
18 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
19 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
20 to quick overview.
21 - splice can corrupt data.
22 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
23 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
24 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.
25
264.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
27 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
28 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
29 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
30 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
31 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
32 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
33
344.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
35 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
36 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
37 - new request aio_seek.
38 - new request aio_fiemap.
39 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
40
414.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
42 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
43 instead of -1.
44 - port to c89.
45
464.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
47 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
48
494.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
50 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
51 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
52 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
53 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
54 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
55 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
56 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
57 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
58 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
59 in aio_scandir and treescan.
60 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
61 - added --progress switch to treescan.
62
634.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
64 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
65 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
66 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
67 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
68 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
69 a timeout occured at the same time.
70 - (libeio) added realpath.
71 - (libeio) added fallocate.
72 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
73 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
74 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
75
763.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
77 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
78
793.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
80 - ecb.h was missing.
81
823.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
83 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
84 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
85 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
86 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
87 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
88 transferred...)
89 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
90 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
91 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
92 pthread and fork in perl.
93 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
94 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
95 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
96 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
97
983.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
99 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
100 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
101 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
102 flags.
103
1043.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
105 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
106 - support a max_idle value of 0.
107 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
108
1093.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
110 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
111 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
112 - new treescan option: --grep.
113 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
114
1153.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
116 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
117 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
118 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
119 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
120 funcitonality. ugh.
121
1223.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
123 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
124 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
125 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
126 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
127 (openbsd 4.8).
128 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
129 had string-data.
130 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
131 them.
132 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
133 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
134 user-errors better.
135 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
136
1373.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
138 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
139 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
140 Rasmus Andersson).
141 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
142 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
143 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
144 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
145 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
146
1473.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
148 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
149 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
150 kernel sources.
151 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
152 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
153 - clean up manpage.
154
1553.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010

157 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
158 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
159 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
160 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
161 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
162
1633.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
164 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
165 - clarify cancel_subs description.
166 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
167 from the sendfile call.
168 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
169 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
170
1713.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
172 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
173 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
174 hash lookups.
175
1763.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
177 - use common::sense.
178 - use common schmorp.h header.
179 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
180 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
181 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
182
1833.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
184 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
185
1863.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
187 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
188 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
189 way. might help other os's too.
190
1913.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
192 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
9 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix 193 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
10 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually 194 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
11 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on 195 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
12 degenerated (for quicksort) data. 196 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
13 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type 197 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
14 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used. 198 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
15 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no 199 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
16 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue. 200 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
17 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code 201 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
18 but should not have been. 202 but should not have been.
203 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
204 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
