384.32 Wed Feb 11 20:32:11 CET 2015
39 - replace off_t by STRLEN where appropriate, should not result in
40 user-visible changes.

434.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
44 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
45
464.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
47 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
48 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
49 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
50 compatibility - I will never understand.
51
524.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
53 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
54 the stack after req_submit.

56 - work around changes in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
57 - (libeio) implement aio_realpath for win32.
58 - (xthread) work around compile time bugs in ptw32.
59 - added IO::AIO::pipesize.
60 - (libecb) insignificant update.
61
624.19 Sun Jan 6 12:47:26 CET 2013
63 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
64 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]
65 and call rename/rmdir instead of renameat/unlinkat.

674.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
68 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
69
704.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
71 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
72 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
73 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
74 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
75 as per unix spec.
76
774.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
78 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
79 it to malfunction for paths.
80 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
81 extents.
82 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
83 trash fiemap input arguments.
84 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
85 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
86 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
87 truncates segment count if a file.
88 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
89 to quick overview.
90 - splice can corrupt data.
91 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
92 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
93 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.
94 - provide pread/pwrite for win32, making it link again on native win32.
95
964.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
97 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
98 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
99 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
100 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
101 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
102 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
103
1044.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
105 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
106 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
107 - new request aio_seek.

109 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
110
1114.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
112 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
113 instead of -1.
114 - port to c89.
115
1164.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
117 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
118
1194.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
120 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
121 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
122 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
123 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
124 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
125 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
126 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
127 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
128 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
129 in aio_scandir and treescan.
130 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
131 - added --progress switch to treescan.
132
1334.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
134 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
135 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
136 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
137 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
138 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
139 a timeout occured at the same time.
140 - (libeio) added realpath.
141 - (libeio) added fallocate.
142 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
143 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
144 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
145
1463.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
147 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
148
1493.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
150 - ecb.h was missing.
151
1523.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
153 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
154 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
155 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
156 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
157 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
158 transferred...)
159 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
160 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
161 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
162 pthread and fork in perl.
163 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
164 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
165 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
166 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
167
1683.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
169 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
170 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
171 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
172 flags.
173
1743.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
175 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
176 - support a max_idle value of 0.
177 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
178
1793.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
180 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
181 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
182 - new treescan option: --grep.
183 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
184
1853.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
186 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
187 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
188 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
189 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
190 funcitonality. ugh.
191
1923.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
193 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
194 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
195 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
196 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
197 (openbsd 4.8).
198 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
199 had string-data.
200 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
201 them.
202 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
203 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
204 user-errors better.
205 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
206
2073.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
208 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
209 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
210 Rasmus Andersson).
211 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
212 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
213 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
214 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
215 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
216
2173.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
218 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
219 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
220 kernel sources.

222 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
223 - clean up manpage.
224
2253.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010

227 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
228 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
229 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
230 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
231 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
232
2333.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
234 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
235 - clarify cancel_subs description.
236 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
237 from the sendfile call.
238 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
239 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
240
2413.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
242 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
243 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
244 hash lookups.
245
2463.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
247 - use common::sense.
248 - use common schmorp.h header.
249 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
250 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
251 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
252
2533.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
254 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
255
2563.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
257 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
258 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
259 way. might help other os's too.
260
2613.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
11 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile. 262 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
12 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix 263 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
13 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually 264 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
14 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on 265 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
15 degenerated (for quicksort) data. 266 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
