43TODO: aio_splice, aio_tee
44TODO: copy_file_range
45 - IO::AIO::splice and IO::AIO::tee didn't properly return
46 64 bit values.
47 - added IO::AIO::accept4.
48 - add various F_SEAL related fcntl constants.
49 - removed experimentla marker for fdlimit functions.
50
514.72 Wed Apr 3 04:56:03 CEST 2019
52 - (libeio) if fd 0 is available do not use it for aio_wd, as it
53 collides with IO::AIO::CWD.
54 - added IO::AIO::memfd_create.
55 - correctly include <sys/uio.h> in the vmsplice test.
56 - reduce codesize by ~7% on amd64 by declaring more functions
57 as noinline.
58 - documentation fixes and updates.
59 - experimental and undocumented preliminary support for synchronous statx.
60
614.71 Sun Mar 10 13:09:26 CET 2019
62 - due to an error in the linux manpages, the configure tests
63 for readahead, sync_file_range, splice etc. failed. This has been fixed.
64
654.7 Mon Mar 4 11:28:13 CET 2019
66 - majorly speed up scandir for the very special case of a non-POSIX
67 filesystem that nevertheless reports valid dt_type information.
68 The only known filesystem of this type is currently btrfs, which
69 didn't get it's act together to implement POSIX semantics in all
70 these years, and I am tired of waiting.
71 - add IO::AIO::MCL_ONFAULT for mlockall, add IO::AIO::mlockall.
72 - neither sys/mkdev.h nor sys/sysmacros.h were included, even when they
73 were detected by autoconf.
74
754.6 Sat Aug 25 21:58:36 CEST 2018
76 - add st_btime, st_btimesec, st_btimensec and st_gen accessors,
77 mostly for bsds which expose birthtime and st_gen members (netbsd, freebsd
78 but only st_gen on openbsd because they compiled their perl without support
79 for birthtimes).
80 - fix madvise and munlock to properly support negative offsets.
81 - allocate fd for the aio_close at boot time, to guarantee it working
82 later, rather than calling abort when it fails. also avoids
83 close-on-exec race issues after module load.
84 - #undef utime on win32, maybe this helps some reports of utime hangs.
85 - minor doc improvements.
86 - minor configure cleanups.
87 - use $Config{perllibs} instead of libs for configure. might help people
88 who didn't install all perl dependencies (might break things as well).
89
904.54 Tue Aug 14 13:54:48 CEST 2018
91 - include sys/mkdev.h or sys/sysmacros.h if available.
92 - further tweaks to configure invocation for systems requiring --rpath.
93 - no longer rely on custom paths on win32 platforms.
94 - try to work around buggy PAGESIZE macro on solaris.
95
964.53 Tue Aug 14 11:27:50 CEST 2018
97 - add $Config{libs} to LIBS for configure, to work around systems
98 with broken library dependencies (... openbsd).
99
1004.52 Sun Aug 12 08:09:45 CEST 2018
101 - config.h.in was missing in distribution.
102
1034.51 Sun Aug 12 07:24:14 CEST 2018
104 - complete rework of the autoconf framework: IO::AIO now uses its own
105 config.h, separate from libeio, and tries to test the actual perl
106 environment, not the standard system environment.
107 - provide nanosecond-accracy stat time accessors for both perl and IO::AIO
108 stat functions.
109 - removed non-portable C++ syntax from eio.c.
110 - try to fix readdir tests on cygwin spuriously failing.
111
1124.5 Wed Aug 1 00:23:55 CEST 2018
113 - aio_mtouch touch all pages as requested, not just the first page in most cases.
114 - new function: IO::AIO::mremap, linux-specific mremap, with constants MREMAP_MAYMOVE
115 and MREMAP_FIXED.
116 - add O_ACCMODE.
117 - add (undocumented) MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC and SOCK_CLOEXEC constants.
118
1194.4 Tue Feb 20 07:54:12 CET 2018
120 - new aio_slurp request.
121 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::eventfd and timerfd* function.
122 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::get_fdlimit and IO::AIO::min_fdlimit.
123 - point out that aio_copy overwrites existing files.
124 - removed filesystem magic number table from aio_statvfs docs as
125 statvfs doesn't actually return this info at all (statfs does).
126 - add a bunch of (mostly linux-specific) constants for use in ioctls
127 (see aio_ioctl docs).
128 - treescan now has a proper manpage and useful --help output.
129 - new option --sync in treescan, to sync everything in a subtree.
130 - changed default for aio_msync flags to MSYNC_SYNC.
131 - document offset/length behaviour of mprotect/madvise.
132 - support linux's renameat2 (via aio_rename2).
133 - add aio_rename2, an aio_rename with flags.

137 - (libeio) internal close() calls no longer disturb errno.
138 - add IO:AIO::FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE.
139 - update schmorp.h for removal of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
140 and better eventfd detection.
141
1424.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
143 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
144 compile errors on various platforms.
145 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
146 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
147 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
148 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
149 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
150 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
151
1524.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
153 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
154 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
155 constants.
156 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
157 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK

159 - use NO_INIT where applicable.
160 - update libecb.
161 - added stability canary support.

163
1644.32 Wed Feb 11 20:32:11 CET 2015
165 - replace off_t by STRLEN where appropriate, should not result in
166 user-visible changes.
167 - update ecb.h for C11 compatibility.
168
1694.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
170 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
171
1724.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
173 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
174 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
175 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
176 compatibility - I will never understand.
177
1784.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
179 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
180 the stack after req_submit.
181 - be more careful on (e.g. permission) errors in bin/treescan.
182 - work around changes in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
183 - (libeio) implement aio_realpath for win32.

189 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
190 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]
191 and call rename/rmdir instead of renameat/unlinkat.
192
1934.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
194 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
195
1964.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
197 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
198 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
199 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
200 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
201 as per unix spec.
202
2034.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
204 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
205 it to malfunction for paths.
206 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
207 extents.
208 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
209 trash fiemap input arguments.
210 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
211 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
212 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
213 truncates segment count if a file.
214 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
215 to quick overview.
216 - splice can corrupt data.

221
2224.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
223 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
224 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
225 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
226 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
227 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
228 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
229
2304.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
231 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
232 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
233 - new request aio_seek.
234 - new request aio_fiemap.
235 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
236
2374.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
238 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
239 instead of -1.
240 - port to c89.
241
2424.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
243 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
244
2454.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
246 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
247 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.

249 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
250 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
251 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
252 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
253 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
254 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
255 in aio_scandir and treescan.
256 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
257 - added --progress switch to treescan.
258
2594.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
260 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
261 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
262 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
263 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
264 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
265 a timeout occured at the same time.
266 - (libeio) added realpath.
267 - (libeio) added fallocate.
268 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.

274
2753.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
276 - ecb.h was missing.
277
2783.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
279 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
280 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
281 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
282 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
283 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
284 transferred...)
285 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
286 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
287 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
288 pthread and fork in perl.
289 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
290 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
291 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
292 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
293
2943.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
295 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
296 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.

298 flags.
299
3003.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
301 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
302 - support a max_idle value of 0.
303 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
304
3053.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
306 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
307 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
308 - new treescan option: --grep.
309 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
310
3113.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
312 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
313 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
314 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
315 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
316 funcitonality. ugh.
317
3183.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
319 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
320 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
321 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
322 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
323 (openbsd 4.8).
324 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
325 had string-data.
326 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
327 them.
328 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
329 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
330 user-errors better.
331 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
332
3333.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
334 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
335 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
336 Rasmus Andersson).
337 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
338 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
339 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
340 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
341 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
342
3433.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
344 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
345 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
346 kernel sources.
347 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
348 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
349 - clean up manpage.
350

353 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
354 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
355 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
356 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
357 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
358
3593.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
360 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
361 - clarify cancel_subs description.
362 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
363 from the sendfile call.
364 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
365 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
366
3673.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
368 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
369 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
370 hash lookups.
371
3723.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
373 - use common::sense.
374 - use common schmorp.h header.
375 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
376 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
377 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
378
3793.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
380 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
381
3823.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
383 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
384 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
385 way. might help other os's too.
386
3873.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
388 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
9 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix 389 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
10 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually 390 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
11 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on 391 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
12 degenerated (for quicksort) data. 392 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
13 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type 393 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
14 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used. 394 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
15 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no 395 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
16 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue. 396 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
17 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code 397 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
18 but should not have been. 398 but should not have been.
399 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
