12 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
13 to quick overview.
14
154.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
16 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
17 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
18 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
19 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
20 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
21 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
22
234.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
24 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
25 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
26 - new request aio_seek.
27 - new request aio_fiemap.
28 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
29
304.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
31 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
32 instead of -1.
33 - port to c89.
34
354.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
36 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
37
384.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
39 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
40 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
41 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
42 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
43 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
44 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
45 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
46 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
47 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
48 in aio_scandir and treescan.
49 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
50 - added --progress switch to treescan.
51
524.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
53 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
54 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
55 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
56 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
57 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
58 a timeout occured at the same time.
59 - (libeio) added realpath.
60 - (libeio) added fallocate.
61 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
62 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
63 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
64
653.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
66 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
67
683.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
69 - ecb.h was missing.
70
713.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
72 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
73 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
74 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
75 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
76 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
77 transferred...)
78 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
79 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
80 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
81 pthread and fork in perl.
82 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
83 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
84 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
85 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
86
873.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
88 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
89 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
90 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
91 flags.
92
933.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
94 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
95 - support a max_idle value of 0.
96 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
97
983.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
99 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
100 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
101 - new treescan option: --grep.
102 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
103
1043.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
105 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
106 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
107 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
108 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
109 funcitonality. ugh.
110
1113.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
112 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
113 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
114 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
115 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
116 (openbsd 4.8).
24 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already 117 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
25 had string-data. 118 had string-data.
26 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-documented 119 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
27 them. 120 them.
28 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case. 121 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
29 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect 122 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
30 user-errors better. 123 user-errors better.
124 - fix aio_readlink prototype.

323.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010 1263.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
33 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not 127 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
34 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by 128 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
35 Rasmus Andersson). 129 Rasmus Andersson).
