43
44 - add MADV_FREE constant.

46 (see aio_ioctl docs).
47 - treescan now has a proper manpage and useful --help output.
48 - new option --sync in treescan, to sync everything in a subtree.
49
504.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
51 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
52 compile errors on various platforms.
53 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
54 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
55 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
56 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
57 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
58 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
59
604.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
61 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
62 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
63 constants.
64 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
65 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK
66 consdtants, whether they can be sensibly used or not.
67 - use NO_INIT where applicable.
68 - update libecb.
69 - added stability canary support.

71
724.32 Wed Feb 11 20:32:11 CET 2015

774.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
78 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
79
804.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
81 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
82 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
83 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
84 compatibility - I will never understand.
85
864.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
87 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
88 the stack after req_submit.
89 - be more careful on (e.g. permission) errors in bin/treescan.
90 - work around changes in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.

97 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
98 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]

100
1014.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012

105 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
106 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
107 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
108 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
109 as per unix spec.
110
1114.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
112 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
113 it to malfunction for paths.
114 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
115 extents.
116 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
117 trash fiemap input arguments.
118 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
119 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
120 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
121 truncates segment count if a file.
122 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
123 to quick overview.
124 - splice can corrupt data.
125 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
126 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
127 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.

129
1304.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
131 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
132 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
133 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
134 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
135 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
136 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
137
1384.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
139 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
140 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
141 - new request aio_seek.
142 - new request aio_fiemap.
143 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
144
1454.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
146 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
147 instead of -1.
148 - port to c89.
149
1504.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
151 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
152
1534.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
154 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
155 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
156 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
157 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
158 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
159 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
160 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
161 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
162 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
163 in aio_scandir and treescan.
164 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
165 - added --progress switch to treescan.
166
1674.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
168 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
169 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
170 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
171 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
172 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
173 a timeout occured at the same time.
174 - (libeio) added realpath.
175 - (libeio) added fallocate.
176 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
177 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
178 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
179
1803.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
181 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
182
1833.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
184 - ecb.h was missing.
185
1863.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
187 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
188 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
189 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
190 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
191 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
192 transferred...)
193 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
194 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
195 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
196 pthread and fork in perl.
197 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
198 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
199 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
200 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
201
2023.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
203 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
204 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
205 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
206 flags.
207
2083.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
209 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
210 - support a max_idle value of 0.
211 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
212
2133.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
214 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
215 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
216 - new treescan option: --grep.
217 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
218
2193.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
220 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
221 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
222 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
223 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
224 funcitonality. ugh.
225
2263.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
227 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
228 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
229 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
230 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
231 (openbsd 4.8).
232 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
233 had string-data.
234 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
235 them.
236 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
237 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
238 user-errors better.
239 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
240
2413.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
242 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
243 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
244 Rasmus Andersson).
245 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
246 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
247 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
248 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
249 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
250
2513.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
11 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by 252 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
12 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual 253 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
13 kernel sources. 254 kernel sources.
255 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
14 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support. 256 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
15 - clean up manpage. 257 - clean up manpage.
