13 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
14 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
15 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
16 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
17 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
18
194.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
20 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
21 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
22 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
23 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
24 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
25 a timeout occured at the same time.
26 - (libeio) added realpath.
27 - (libeio) added fallocate.
28 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
29 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
30 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
31
323.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
33 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
34
353.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
36 - ecb.h was missing.
37
383.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
39 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
40 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
41 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
42 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
43 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
44 transferred...)
45 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
46 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
47 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
48 pthread and fork in perl.
49 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
50 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
51 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
52 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
53
543.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
55 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
56 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
57 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
58 flags.
59
603.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
61 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
62 - support a max_idle value of 0.
63 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
64
653.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
66 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
67 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
68 - new treescan option: --grep.
69 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
70
713.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
72 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
73 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
74 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
75 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
76 funcitonality. ugh.
77
783.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
79 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
80 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
81 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
82 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
83 (openbsd 4.8).
84 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
85 had string-data.
86 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
87 them.
88 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
89 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
90 user-errors better.
91 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
92
933.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
94 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
95 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
96 Rasmus Andersson).
97 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
98 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
99 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
100 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
101 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
102
1033.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
104 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
105 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
106 kernel sources.
107 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
108 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
109 - clean up manpage.
110
1113.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
112 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
113 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
114 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
115 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
116 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
117 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
118
1193.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
120 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
121 - clarify cancel_subs description.
122 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
123 from the sendfile call.
124 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
125 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
126
1273.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
128 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
129 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
130 hash lookups.
131
1323.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
10 - use common::sense. 133 - use common::sense.
11 - use common schmorp.h header. 134 - use common schmorp.h header.
12 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles. 135 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
136 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
137 - use poll not select on posix platforms.

173.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009 1423.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
18 - os x of course claims posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise. try to work 143 - 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 144 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
20 other os's too. 145 way. might help other os's too.
