fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any + extents. + - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might + trash fiemap input arguments. + - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not + set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment. + -

(libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation. + - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read. + - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate. + - provide pread/pwrite for win32, making it link again on native win32. + +4.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012 + - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to + ancient systems (Paul Howarth). + - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...). + - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available. + - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining + autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth). + +4.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012 + - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results. + - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing. + - new request aio_seek. + - new request aio_fiemap. + - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export. + +4.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011 + - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long, + instead of -1. + - port to c89. + +4.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011 + - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth). + +4.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011 + - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats. + - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper. + - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb). + - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories. + - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber. + - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit. + - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time + in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram). + - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions + in aio_scandir and treescan. + - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality. + - added --progress switch to treescan. + +4.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011 + - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was), + see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details. + - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work + (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV). + - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when + a timeout occured at the same time. + - (libeio) added realpath. + - (libeio) added fallocate. + - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation. + - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking. + - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests. + +3.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011 + - ECB.H WAS MISSING. + +3.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011 + - ecb.h was missing. + +3.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011 + - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other + kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested + bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic. + - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big + files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been + transferred...) + - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability. + - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken. + - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing + pthread and fork in perl. + - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using + this module, on anything !GNU/Linux. + - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups + run on a 0.1MHz cpu.
