10 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
11
123.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
13 - use common::sense.
14 - use common schmorp.h header.
15 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
16 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
17 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
18
193.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
20 - more OS X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
21
223.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
23 - os x of course claims posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise. try to work
24 around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish way. might help
25 other os's too.
26
273.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
28 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
29 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
30 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
31 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
32 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
33 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
34 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
35 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
36 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
37 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
38 but should not have been.
39 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
40 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
41
423.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
43 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
44 rushed 3.22 release.
45
463.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
47 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
48 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
49
503.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
51 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
52 - install bin/treescan by default.
53 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
54 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
55 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
56 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
57 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
58 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
59 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
60
613.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
62 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
63 not restore the file offset.
64 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
65 the names in various ways.
66 - unfortunately, utime, chmod, chown on an open file that has just
67 been written can easily block, which caused aio_copy to block the
68 process. no more!
69 - no longer rely on dst path in aio_copy when futime is available.
70
713.19 Tue Apr 21 22:05:21 CEST 2009
72 - more perl 5.10 workarounds for aio_read and write.
73 - aio_write no longer modifies the sv (if possible).
74 - aio_read now works correctly with magic values.
75
763.18 Sun Apr 19 21:17:32 CEST 2009
77 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh.
78 - try to avoid crashes due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. grmbl.
79
803.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008
81 - (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested).
82 - add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ.
83
843.16 Wed Oct 22 18:28:01 CEST 2008
85 - use SvREFCNT_inc instead of SvREFCNT_inc_NN in a non-speed critical
86 part to improve portability to perl 5.8 (reported by szymon).
87
883.15 Mon Oct 13 00:39:55 CEST 2008
89 - automatic removal of feeders was broken.
90 - (libeio) use a more robust method to detect whether a feeder
91 has added something to the group or not.
