24O_LARGEFILE 14 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
25O_NOATIME 15 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]
26O_ASYNC 16 and call rename/rmdir instead of renameat/unlinkat.
27TODO: document/test madvise, mprotect

184.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
19 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
20
214.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
22 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
23 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
24 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
25 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
26 as per unix spec.
27
284.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
29 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
30 it to malfunction for paths.
31 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
32 extents.
33 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
34 trash fiemap input arguments.
35 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
36 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
37 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
38 truncates segment count if a file.
39 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
40 to quick overview.
41 - splice can corrupt data.
42 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
43 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
44 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.
45 - provide pread/pwrite for win32, making it link again on native win32.
46
474.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
48 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
49 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
50 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
51 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
52 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
53 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
54
554.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
56 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
57 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
58 - new request aio_seek.
59 - new request aio_fiemap.
60 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
61
624.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
63 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
64 instead of -1.
65 - port to c89.
66
674.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
68 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
69
704.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
71 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
72 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
73 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
74 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
75 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
76 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
77 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
78 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
79 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
80 in aio_scandir and treescan.
81 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
82 - added --progress switch to treescan.
83
844.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
85 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
86 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
87 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
88 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
89 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
90 a timeout occured at the same time.
91 - (libeio) added realpath.
92 - (libeio) added fallocate.
93 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
94 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
95 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
96
973.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
98 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
99
1003.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
101 - ecb.h was missing.
102
1033.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
104 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
105 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
106 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
107 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
108 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
109 transferred...)
110 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
111 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
112 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
113 pthread and fork in perl.
114 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
115 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
116 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
117 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
118
1193.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
120 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
121 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
122 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
123 flags.
124
1253.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
126 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
127 - support a max_idle value of 0.
128 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
129
1303.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
131 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
132 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
133 - new treescan option: --grep.
134 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
135
1363.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
137 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
138 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
139 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
140 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
141 funcitonality. ugh.
142
1433.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
144 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
145 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
146 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
147 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
148 (openbsd 4.8).
29 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already 149 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
30 had string-data. 150 had string-data.
31 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-documented 151 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
32 them. 152 them.
33 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case. 153 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
34 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect 154 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
35 user-errors better. 155 user-errors better.
156 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
36 157
373.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010 1583.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
38 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not 159 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
39 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by 160 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
40 Rasmus Andersson). 161 Rasmus Andersson).
