13TODO: slowdown!!!! perl -Mblib bin/treescan -sq /root/src
14TODO: treescan using extra fds
15 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
16 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
17 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
18 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
19 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
20 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
21 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
22 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
23 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
24 in aio_scandir and treescan.
25 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
26
274.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
28 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
29 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
30 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
31 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
32 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
33 a timeout occured at the same time.
34 - (libeio) added realpath.
35 - (libeio) added fallocate.
36 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
37 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
38 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.

403.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
41 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
42
433.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
44 - ecb.h was missing.
45
463.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
47 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
48 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
49 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
50 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
51 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
52 transferred...)
53 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
54 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
55 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
56 pthread and fork in perl.
57 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
58 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
59 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
60 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
61
623.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
63 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
64 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
65 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
66 flags.
67
683.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
69 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
70 - support a max_idle value of 0.
71 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
72
733.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
74 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
75 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
76 - new treescan option: --grep.
77 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
78
793.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
80 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
81 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
82 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
83 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
84 funcitonality. ugh.
85
863.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
87 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
88 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
89 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
90 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
91 (openbsd 4.8).
92 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
93 had string-data.
94 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
95 them.
96 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
97 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
98 user-errors better.
99 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
100
1013.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
102 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
103 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
104 Rasmus Andersson).
105 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
106 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
107 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
108 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
109 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
110
1113.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
112 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
113 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
114 kernel sources.
115 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
116 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
117 - clean up manpage.
118
1193.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
120 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
121 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
122 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
123 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
124 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
125 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
126
1273.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
128 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
129 - clarify cancel_subs description.
130 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
131 from the sendfile call.
132 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
133 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
134
1353.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
10 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move. 136 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
137 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
138 hash lookups.

24 around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish way. might help 152 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
