10 12
13 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
14 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
15
164.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
17 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
18 it to malfunctiobn for paths.
19 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
20 extents.
21 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
22 trash fiemap input arguments.
23 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
24 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
25 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
26 truncates segment count if a file.
27 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
28 to quick overview.
29 - splice can corrupt data.
30 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
31 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
32 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.
33 - provide pread/pwrite for win32, making it link again on native win32.
34
354.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
36 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
37 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
38 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
39 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
40 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
41 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
42
434.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
44 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
45 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
46 - new request aio_seek.
47 - new request aio_fiemap.
48 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
49
504.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
51 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
52 instead of -1.
53 - port to c89.
54
554.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
56 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
57
584.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
59 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
60 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
61 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
62 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
63 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
64 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
65 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
66 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
67 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
68 in aio_scandir and treescan.
69 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
70 - added --progress switch to treescan.
71
724.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
73 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
74 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
75 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
76 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
77 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
78 a timeout occured at the same time.
79 - (libeio) added realpath.
80 - (libeio) added fallocate.
81 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
82 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
83 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
84
853.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
86 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
87
883.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
89 - ecb.h was missing.
90
913.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
92 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
93 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
94 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
95 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
96 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
97 transferred...)
98 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
99 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
100 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
101 pthread and fork in perl.
102 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
103 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
104 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
105 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
106
1073.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
108 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
109 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
110 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
111 flags.
112
1133.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
114 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
115 - support a max_idle value of 0.
116 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
117
1183.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
119 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
120 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
121 - new treescan option: --grep.
122 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
123
1243.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
125 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
126 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
127 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
128 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
129 funcitonality. ugh.
130
1313.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
132 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
133 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
134 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
135 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
136 (openbsd 4.8).
137 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
138 had string-data.
139 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
140 them.
141 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
142 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
143 user-errors better.
144 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
145
1463.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
147 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
148 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
149 Rasmus Andersson).
150 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
151 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
152 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
153 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
154 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
155
1563.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
11 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by 157 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
12 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual 158 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
13 kernel sources. 159 kernel sources.
14 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support. 160 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
15 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support. 161 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
