9 10
103.25 11 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
12 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
13 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
14
154.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
16 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
17 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
18 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
19 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
20 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
21 a timeout occured at the same time.
22 - (libeio) added realpath.
23 - (libeio) added fallocate.
24 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
25 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
26 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
27
283.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
29 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
30
313.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
32 - ecb.h was missing.
33
343.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
35 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
36 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
37 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
38 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
39 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
40 transferred...)
41 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
42 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
43 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
44 pthread and fork in perl.
45 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
46 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
47 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
48 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
49
503.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
51 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
52 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
53 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
54 flags.
55
563.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
57 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
58 - support a max_idle value of 0.
59 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
60
613.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
62 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
63 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
64 - new treescan option: --grep.
65 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
66
673.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
68 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
69 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
70 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
71 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
72 funcitonality. ugh.
73
743.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
75 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
76 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
77 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
78 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
79 (openbsd 4.8).
80 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
81 had string-data.
82 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
83 them.
84 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
85 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
86 user-errors better.
87 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
88
893.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
90 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
91 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
92 Rasmus Andersson).
93 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
94 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
95 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
96 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
97 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
98
993.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
100 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
101 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
102 kernel sources.
103 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
104 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
105 - clean up manpage.
106
1073.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
108 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
109 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
110 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
111 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
112 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
113 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
114
1153.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
116 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
117 - clarify cancel_subs description.
118 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
119 from the sendfile call.
120 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
121 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
122
1233.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
124 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
125 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
126 hash lookups.
127
1283.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
129 - use common::sense.
130 - use common schmorp.h header.
131 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
132 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
133 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
134
1353.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
136 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
137
1383.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
139 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
140 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
141 way. might help other os's too.
142
1433.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
11 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile. 144 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
12 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix 145 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
13 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually 146 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
14 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on 147 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
15 degenerated (for quicksort) data. 148 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
