12
13 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
14 extents.
15 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
16 trash fiemap input arguments.
17 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
18 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
19 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
20 truncates segment count if a file.
21 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
22 to quick overview.
23 - splice can corrupt data.
24 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
25 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
26 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.
27
284.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
29 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
30 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
31 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
32 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
33 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
34 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
35
364.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
37 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
38 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
39 - new request aio_seek.
40 - new request aio_fiemap.
41 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
42
434.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
44 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
45 instead of -1.
46 - port to c89.
47
484.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
49 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
50
514.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
52 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
53 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
54 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
55 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
56 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
57 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
58 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
59 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
60 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
61 in aio_scandir and treescan.
62 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
63 - added --progress switch to treescan.
64
654.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
66 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
67 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
68 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
69 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
70 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
71 a timeout occured at the same time.
72 - (libeio) added realpath.
73 - (libeio) added fallocate.
74 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
75 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
76 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
77
783.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
79 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
80
813.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
82 - ecb.h was missing.
83
843.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
85 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
86 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
87 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
88 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
89 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
90 transferred...)
91 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
92 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
93 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
94 pthread and fork in perl.
95 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
96 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
97 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
98 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
99
1003.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
101 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
102 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
103 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
104 flags.
105
1063.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
107 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
108 - support a max_idle value of 0.
109 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
110
1113.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
112 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
113 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
114 - new treescan option: --grep.
115 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
116
1173.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
118 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
119 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
120 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
121 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
122 funcitonality. ugh.
123
1243.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
125 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
126 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
127 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
128 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
129 (openbsd 4.8).
130 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
131 had string-data.
132 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
133 them.
134 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
135 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
136 user-errors better.
137 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
138
1393.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
140 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
141 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
142 Rasmus Andersson).
143 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
144 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
145 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
146 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
147 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
148
1493.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
150 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
151 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
152 kernel sources.
153 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
154 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
155 - clean up manpage.
156
1573.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
158 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
159 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
160 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
161 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
162 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
163 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
164
1653.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
166 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
167 - clarify cancel_subs description.
168 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
169 from the sendfile call.
170 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
171 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
172
1733.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
174 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
175 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
176 hash lookups.
177
1783.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
179 - use common::sense.
180 - use common schmorp.h header.
181 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
182 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
183 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
