11 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
12 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
13 kernel sources.
14 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
15 - clean up manpage.
16
173.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
18 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
19 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
20 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
21 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
22 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
23 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
24
253.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
26 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
27 - clarify cancel_subs description.
28 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
29 from the sendfile call.
30 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
31 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
32
333.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
34 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
35 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
36 hash lookups.
37
383.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
39 - use common::sense.
40 - use common schmorp.h header.
41 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
42 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
43 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
44
453.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
46 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
47
483.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
49 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
50 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
51 way. might help other os's too.
52
533.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
54 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
55 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
56 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
57 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
58 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
59 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
60 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
61 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
62 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
63 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
64 but should not have been.
65 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
66 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
67
683.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
69 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
70 rushed 3.22 release.
71
723.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
73 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
74 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
75
763.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
77 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
78 - install bin/treescan by default.
79 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
80 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
81 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
82 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
83 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
84 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
85 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
86
873.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
88 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
89 not restore the file offset.
90 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
91 the names in various ways.
92 - unfortunately, utime, chmod, chown on an open file that has just
93 been written can easily block, which caused aio_copy to block the
94 process. no more!
95 - no longer rely on dst path in aio_copy when futime is available.
96
973.19 Tue Apr 21 22:05:21 CEST 2009
98 - more perl 5.10 workarounds for aio_read and write.
99 - aio_write no longer modifies the sv (if possible).
100 - aio_read now works correctly with magic values.
101
1023.18 Sun Apr 19 21:17:32 CEST 2009
103 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh.
104 - try to avoid crashes due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. grmbl.
105
1063.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008
107 - (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested).
108 - add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ.
109
1103.16 Wed Oct 22 18:28:01 CEST 2008
111 - use SvREFCNT_inc instead of SvREFCNT_inc_NN in a non-speed critical
112 part to improve portability to perl 5.8 (reported by szymon).
113
