13TODO: realpath
14 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
15 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
16 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
17 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
18 files (fortunately it vchecks that the whole file has been
19 transferred...)
20 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
21 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
22 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
23 pthread and fork in perl.
24 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
25 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
26 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
27 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
28
293.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
30 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
31 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
32 - add lots of newre POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
33 flags.
34
353.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
36 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
37 - support a max_idle value of 0.
38 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
39
403.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
41 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
42 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
43 - new treescan option: --grep.
44 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
45
463.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
47 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
48 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
49 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
50 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
51 funcitonality. ugh.
52
533.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
54 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
55 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
56 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
57 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
58 (openbsd 4.8).
59 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
60 had string-data.
61 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
62 them.
63 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
64 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
65 user-errors better.
66 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
67
683.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
69 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
70 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
71 Rasmus Andersson).
72 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
73 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
74 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
75 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
76 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
77
783.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
79 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
80 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
81 kernel sources.
82 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
83 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
84 - clean up manpage.
85
863.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
87 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
88 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
89 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
90 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
91 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
92 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
93
943.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
95 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
96 - clarify cancel_subs description.
97 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
98 from the sendfile call.
99 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
100 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
101
1023.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
103 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
104 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
105 hash lookups.
106
1073.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
10 - use common::sense. 108 - use common::sense.
11 - use common schmorp.h header. 109 - use common schmorp.h header.
12 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles. 110 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
111 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
112 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
