9 12
103.25 13 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
14 to quick overview.
15 - splice can corrupt data.
16 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
17 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
18 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.
19
204.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
21 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
22 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
23 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
24 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
25 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
26 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
27
284.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
29 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
30 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
31 - new request aio_seek.
32 - new request aio_fiemap.
33 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
34
354.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
36 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
37 instead of -1.
38 - port to c89.
39
404.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
41 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
42
434.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
44 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
45 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
46 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
47 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
48 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
49 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
50 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
51 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
52 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
53 in aio_scandir and treescan.
54 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
55 - added --progress switch to treescan.
56
574.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
58 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
59 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
60 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
61 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
62 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
63 a timeout occured at the same time.
64 - (libeio) added realpath.
65 - (libeio) added fallocate.
66 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
67 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
68 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
69
703.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
71 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
72
733.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
74 - ecb.h was missing.
75
763.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
77 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
78 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
79 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
80 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
81 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
82 transferred...)
83 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
84 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
85 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
86 pthread and fork in perl.
87 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
88 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
89 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
90 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
91
923.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
93 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
94 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
95 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
96 flags.
97
983.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
99 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
100 - support a max_idle value of 0.
101 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
102
1033.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
104 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
105 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
106 - new treescan option: --grep.
107 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
108
1093.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
110 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
111 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
112 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
113 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
114 funcitonality. ugh.
115
1163.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
117 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
118 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
119 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
120 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
121 (openbsd 4.8).
122 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
123 had string-data.
124 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
125 them.
126 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
127 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
128 user-errors better.
129 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
130
1313.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
132 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
133 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
134 Rasmus Andersson).
135 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
136 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
137 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
138 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
139 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
140
1413.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
142 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
143 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
144 kernel sources.
145 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
146 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
147 - clean up manpage.
148
1493.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
150 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
151 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
152 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
153 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
154 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
155 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
156
1573.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
158 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
159 - clarify cancel_subs description.
160 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
161 from the sendfile call.
162 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
163 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
164
1653.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
166 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
167 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
168 hash lookups.
169
1703.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
171 - use common::sense.
172 - use common schmorp.h header.
173 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
174 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
175 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
176
1773.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
178 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
179
1803.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
181 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
182 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
183 way. might help other os's too.
184
1853.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
11 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile. 186 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
12 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix 187 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
13 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually 188 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
14 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on 189 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
15 degenerated (for quicksort) data. 190 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
