14 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
15 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
16 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
17 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
18 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
19 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
20 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
21 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
22 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
23 in aio_scandir and treescan.
24 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
25
264.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
27 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
28 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
29 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
30 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
31 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
32 a timeout occured at the same time.
33 - (libeio) added realpath.
34 - (libeio) added fallocate.
35 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
36 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
37 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.

393.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
40 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
41
423.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
43 - ecb.h was missing.
44
453.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
46 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
47 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
48 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
49 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
50 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
51 transferred...)
52 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
53 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
54 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
55 pthread and fork in perl.
56 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
57 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
58 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
59 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
60
613.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
62 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
63 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
64 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
65 flags.
66
673.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
68 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
69 - support a max_idle value of 0.
70 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
71
723.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
73 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
74 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
75 - new treescan option: --grep.
76 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
77
783.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
79 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
80 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
81 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
82 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
83 funcitonality. ugh.
84
853.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
86 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
87 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
88 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
89 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
90 (openbsd 4.8).
91 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
92 had string-data.
93 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
94 them.
95 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
96 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
97 user-errors better.
98 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
99
1003.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
101 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
102 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
103 Rasmus Andersson).
104 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
105 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
106 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
107 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
108 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
109
1103.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
111 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
112 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
113 kernel sources.
114 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
115 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
116 - clean up manpage.
117
1183.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
119 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
120 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
121 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
122 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
123 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
124 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
125
1263.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
127 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
128 - clarify cancel_subs description.
129 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
130 from the sendfile call.
131 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
132 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
133
1343.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
135 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
136 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
137 hash lookups.
138

10 - use common::sense. 140 - use common::sense.

173.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009 1493.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
18 - os x of course claims posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise. try to work 150 - 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 151 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
20 other os's too. 152 way. might help other os's too.

223.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009 1543.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
23 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile. 155 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
24 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix 156 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
