61 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
62
634.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
64 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
65 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
66 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
67 compatibility - I will never understand.
68
694.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
70 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
71 the stack after req_submit.

89 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
90 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.

92 as per unix spec.
93
944.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
95 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
96 it to malfunction for paths.
97 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
98 extents.
99 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
100 trash fiemap input arguments.
101 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
102 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
103 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
104 truncates segment count if a file.

112
1134.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
114 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
115 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
116 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
117 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
118 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
119 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
120
1214.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
122 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
123 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.

127
1284.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
129 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
130 instead of -1.
131 - port to c89.
132
1334.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
134 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
135
1364.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
137 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
138 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.

140 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
141 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
142 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
143 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
144 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
145 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
146 in aio_scandir and treescan.
147 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
148 - added --progress switch to treescan.
149
1504.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
151 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
152 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
153 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
154 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
155 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
156 a timeout occured at the same time.
157 - (libeio) added realpath.
158 - (libeio) added fallocate.
159 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
160 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
161 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
162
1633.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
164 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
165
1663.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
167 - ecb.h was missing.
168
1693.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
170 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
171 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
172 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
173 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
174 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
175 transferred...)
176 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
177 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
178 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
179 pthread and fork in perl.
180 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
181 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
182 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
183 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
184
1853.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
186 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
187 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
188 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
189 flags.
190
1913.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
192 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
193 - support a max_idle value of 0.
194 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
195
1963.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
197 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
198 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
199 - new treescan option: --grep.
200 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
201
2023.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
203 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
204 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
205 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
206 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
207 funcitonality. ugh.
208
2093.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
210 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
211 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
212 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
213 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
214 (openbsd 4.8).
215 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
216 had string-data.
217 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
218 them.
219 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
220 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
221 user-errors better.
222 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
223
2243.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
225 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
226 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
227 Rasmus Andersson).
228 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
229 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
230 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
231 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
232 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
233
2343.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
235 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
236 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
237 kernel sources.

244 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
245 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
246 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
247 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
248 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
249
2503.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
251 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
252 - clarify cancel_subs description.
253 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
254 from the sendfile call.
255 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
256 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
257
2583.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
259 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
