16 - (libeio) added realpath.
17
183.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
19 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
20
213.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
22 - ecb.h was missing.
23
243.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
25 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
26 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
27 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
28 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
29 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
30 transferred...)
31 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
32 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
33 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
34 pthread and fork in perl.
35 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
36 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
37 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
38 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
39
403.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
41 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
42 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
43 - add lots of newre POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
44 flags.
45
463.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
47 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
48 - support a max_idle value of 0.
49 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
50
513.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
52 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
53 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
54 - new treescan option: --grep.
55 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
56
573.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
58 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
59 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
60 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
61 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
62 funcitonality. ugh.
63
643.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
65 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
66 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
67 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
68 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
69 (openbsd 4.8).
70 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
71 had string-data.
72 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
73 them.
74 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
75 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
76 user-errors better.
77 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
78
793.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
80 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
81 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
82 Rasmus Andersson).
83 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
84 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
85 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
86 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
87 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
88
893.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
90 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
91 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
92 kernel sources.
93 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
94 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
95 - clean up manpage.
96
973.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
98 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
99 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
100 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
101 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
102 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
103 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
104
1053.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
106 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
107 - clarify cancel_subs description.
108 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
109 from the sendfile call.
110 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
111 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
112
1133.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
114 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
115 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
116 hash lookups.
117
1183.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
10 - use common::sense. 119 - use common::sense.
11 - use common schmorp.h header. 120 - use common schmorp.h header.
12 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles. 121 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
122 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
123 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
