9 11
12 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
13 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
14 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
15 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
16
174.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
18 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
19 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
20 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
21 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
22 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
23 a timeout occured at the same time.
24 - (libeio) added realpath.
25 - (libeio) added fallocate.
26 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
27 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
28 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
29
303.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
31 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
32
333.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
34 - ecb.h was missing.
35
363.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
37 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
38 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
39 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
40 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
41 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
42 transferred...)
43 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
44 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
45 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
46 pthread and fork in perl.
47 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
48 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
49 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
50 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
51
523.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
53 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
54 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
55 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
56 flags.
57
583.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
59 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
60 - support a max_idle value of 0.
61 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
62
633.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
64 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
65 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
66 - new treescan option: --grep.
67 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
68
693.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
70 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
71 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
72 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
73 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
74 funcitonality. ugh.
75
763.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
77 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
78 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
79 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
80 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
81 (openbsd 4.8).
82 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
83 had string-data.
84 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
85 them.
86 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
87 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
88 user-errors better.
89 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
90
913.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
92 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
93 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
94 Rasmus Andersson).
95 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
96 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
97 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
98 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
99 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
100
1013.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
102 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
103 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
104 kernel sources.
105 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
106 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
107 - clean up manpage.
108
1093.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
110 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
111 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
112 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
113 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
114 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
115 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
116
1173.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
118 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
119 - clarify cancel_subs description.
120 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
121 from the sendfile call.
122 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
123 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
124
1253.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
126 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
127 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
128 hash lookups.
129
1303.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
10 - use common::sense. 131 - use common::sense.
11 - use common schmorp.h header. 132 - use common schmorp.h header.
12 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles. 133 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
134 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
135 - use poll not select on posix platforms.

173.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009 1403.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
18 - os x of course claims posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise. try to work 141 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
19 around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish way. might help 142 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
20 other os's too. 143 way. might help other os's too.
