404.52 Sun Aug 12 08:09:45 CEST 2018
41 - config.h.in was missing in distribution.
42
434.51 Sun Aug 12 07:24:14 CEST 2018
44 - complete rework of the autoconf framework: IO::AIO now uses its own
45 config.h, separate from libeio, and tries to test the actual perl
46 environment, not the standard system environment.
47 - provide nanosecond-accracy stat time accessors for both perl and IO::AIO
48 stat functions.
49 - removed non-portable C++ syntax from eio.c.

61 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::eventfd and timerfd* function.
62 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::get_fdlimit and IO::AIO::min_fdlimit.
63 - point out that aio_copy overwrites existing files.
64 - removed filesystem magic number table from aio_statvfs docs as
65 statvfs doesn't actually return this info at all (statfs does).
66 - add a bunch of (mostly linux-specific) constants for use in ioctls
67 (see aio_ioctl docs).
68 - treescan now has a proper manpage and useful --help output.
69 - new option --sync in treescan, to sync everything in a subtree.
70 - changed default for aio_msync flags to MSYNC_SYNC.
71 - document offset/length behaviour of mprotect/madvise.
72 - support linux's renameat2 (via aio_rename2).
73 - add aio_rename2, an aio_rename with flags.
74 - add F_DUPPFD_CLOEXEC, F_OFD_[SG]ETLKW? constants.
75 - add FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE, FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE_RANGE.
76 - (libeio) use posix_close if available.
77 - (libeio) internal close() calls no longer disturb errno.
78 - add IO:AIO::FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE.
79 - update schmorp.h for removal of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
80 and better eventfd detection.
81
824.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
83 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
84 compile errors on various platforms.
85 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
86 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
87 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
88 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
89 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
90 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
91
924.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
93 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
94 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
95 constants.
96 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
97 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK

103
1044.32 Wed Feb 11 20:32:11 CET 2015
105 - replace off_t by STRLEN where appropriate, should not result in
106 user-visible changes.

110 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
111
1124.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
113 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
114 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
115 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
116 compatibility - I will never understand.
117
1184.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
119 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
120 the stack after req_submit.
121 - be more careful on (e.g. permission) errors in bin/treescan.
122 - work around changes in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
123 - (libeio) implement aio_realpath for win32.
124 - (xthread) work around compile time bugs in ptw32.

132
1334.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
134 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
135
1364.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
137 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
138 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
139 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
140 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
141 as per unix spec.
142
1434.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
144 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
145 it to malfunction for paths.
146 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
147 extents.
148 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
149 trash fiemap input arguments.
150 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
151 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
152 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
153 truncates segment count if a file.
154 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
155 to quick overview.
156 - splice can corrupt data.
157 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
158 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.

161
1624.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
163 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
164 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
165 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
166 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
167 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
168 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
169
1704.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
171 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
172 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
173 - new request aio_seek.
174 - new request aio_fiemap.
175 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
176
1774.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
178 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
179 instead of -1.
180 - port to c89.
181
1824.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
183 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
184
1854.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
186 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
187 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.

189 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
190 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
191 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
192 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
193 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
194 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
195 in aio_scandir and treescan.
196 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
197 - added --progress switch to treescan.
198
1994.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
200 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
201 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
202 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
203 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
204 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
205 a timeout occured at the same time.
206 - (libeio) added realpath.
207 - (libeio) added fallocate.
208 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.

211
2123.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
213 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
214
2153.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
216 - ecb.h was missing.
217
2183.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
219 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
220 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
221 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
222 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
223 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
224 transferred...)
225 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
226 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
227 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
228 pthread and fork in perl.
229 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
230 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
231 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
232 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
233
2343.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
235 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
236 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
237 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
238 flags.
239
2403.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
241 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
242 - support a max_idle value of 0.
243 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
244
2453.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
246 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
247 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
248 - new treescan option: --grep.
249 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
250
2513.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
252 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
253 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
254 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
255 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
256 funcitonality. ugh.
257
2583.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
259 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
260 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
261 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
262 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
263 (openbsd 4.8).
264 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
265 had string-data.
266 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
267 them.
268 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
269 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
270 user-errors better.
271 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
272
2733.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
274 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
275 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
276 Rasmus Andersson).
277 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
278 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
279 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
280 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
281 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
282
2833.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
284 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
285 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
286 kernel sources.

294 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
295 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
296 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
297 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
298
2993.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
300 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
301 - clarify cancel_subs description.
302 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
303 from the sendfile call.
304 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
305 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
306
3073.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
308 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
