124.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
13 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
14 instead of -1.
15 - port to c89.
16
174.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
18 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
19
204.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
21 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
22 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
23 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
24 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
25 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
26 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
27 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
28 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
29 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
30 in aio_scandir and treescan.
31 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
32 - added --progress switch to treescan.
33
344.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
35 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
36 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
37 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
38 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
39 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
40 a timeout occured at the same time.
41 - (libeio) added realpath.
42 - (libeio) added fallocate.
43 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
44 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
45 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
46
473.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
48 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
49
503.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
51 - ecb.h was missing.
52
533.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
54 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
55 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
56 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
57 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
58 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
59 transferred...)
60 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
61 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
62 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
63 pthread and fork in perl.
64 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
65 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
66 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
67 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
68
693.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
70 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
71 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
72 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
73 flags.
74
753.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
76 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
77 - support a max_idle value of 0.
78 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
79
803.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
81 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
82 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
83 - new treescan option: --grep.
84 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
85
863.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
87 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
88 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
89 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
90 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
91 funcitonality. ugh.
92
933.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
94 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
95 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
96 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
97 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
98 (openbsd 4.8).
99 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
100 had string-data.
12 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-documented 101 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
13 them. 102 them.
103 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
104 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
105 user-errors better.
106 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
14 107
153.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010 1083.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
16 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not 109 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
17 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by 110 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
18 Rasmus Andersson). 111 Rasmus Andersson).
