15 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
16 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
17 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
18 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
19 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
20
214.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
22 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
23 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
24 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
25 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
26 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
27 a timeout occured at the same time.
28 - (libeio) added realpath.
29 - (libeio) added fallocate.
30 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
31 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
32 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
33
343.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
35 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
36
373.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
38 - ecb.h was missing.
39
403.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
41 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
42 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
43 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
44 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
45 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
46 transferred...)
47 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
48 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
49 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
50 pthread and fork in perl.
51 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
52 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
53 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
54 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
55
563.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
57 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
58 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
59 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
60 flags.
61
623.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
63 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
64 - support a max_idle value of 0.
65 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
66
673.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
68 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
69 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
70 - new treescan option: --grep.
71 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
72
733.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
74 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
75 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
76 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
77 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
78 funcitonality. ugh.
79
803.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
81 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
82 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
83 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
84 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
85 (openbsd 4.8).
86 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
87 had string-data.
88 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
89 them.
90 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
91 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
92 user-errors better.
93 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
94
953.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
96 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
97 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
98 Rasmus Andersson).
99 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
100 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
101 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
102 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
103 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
104
1053.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
106 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
107 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
108 kernel sources.
109 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
110 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
111 - clean up manpage.
112
1133.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
114 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
115 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
116 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
117 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
118 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
119 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
120
1213.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
122 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
123 - clarify cancel_subs description.
124 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
125 from the sendfile call.
126 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
127 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
128
1293.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
130 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
131 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
132 hash lookups.
133
1343.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
135 - use common::sense.
136 - use common schmorp.h header.
137 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
138 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
139 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
140
1413.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
142 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
143
1443.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
145 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
146 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
147 way. might help other os's too.
148
1493.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
11 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile. 150 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
12 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix 151 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
13 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually 152 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
14 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on 153 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
15 degenerated (for quicksort) data. 154 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
