12
13 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detetc mlock/munlock.
14
153.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
16 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
17 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
18 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
19 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
20 funcitonality. ugh.
21
223.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
23 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
24 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
25 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
26 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
27 (openbsd 4.8).
28 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
29 had string-data.
30 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
31 them.
32 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
33 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
34 user-errors better.
35 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
36
373.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
38 - 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
40 Rasmus Andersson).
41 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
42 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
43 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
44 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
45 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
46
473.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
48 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
49 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
50 kernel sources.
51 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
52 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
53 - clean up manpage.
54
553.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
56 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
57 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
58 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
59 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
60 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
61 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
62
633.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
64 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
65 - clarify cancel_subs description.
66 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
67 from the sendfile call.
68 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
69 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
70
713.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
72 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
73 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
74 hash lookups.
75
763.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
77 - use common::sense.
78 - use common schmorp.h header.
79 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
80 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
81 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
82
833.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
84 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
85
863.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
87 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
88 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
89 way. might help other os's too.
90
913.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
92 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
93 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
94 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
95 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
96 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
97 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
98 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
99 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
100 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
101 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
102 but should not have been.
103 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
104 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
105
1063.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
107 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
108 rushed 3.22 release.
109
1103.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
111 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
112 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
113
1143.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
115 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
116 - install bin/treescan by default.
117 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
118 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
119 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
120 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
121 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
122 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
123 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
124
1253.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
126 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
127 not restore the file offset.
128 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
129 the names in various ways.
130 - unfortunately, utime, chmod, chown on an open file that has just
131 been written can easily block, which caused aio_copy to block the
132 process. no more!
133 - no longer rely on dst path in aio_copy when futime is available.
134
1353.19 Tue Apr 21 22:05:21 CEST 2009
136 - more perl 5.10 workarounds for aio_read and write.
137 - aio_write no longer modifies the sv (if possible).
138 - aio_read now works correctly with magic values.
8 139
93.18 Sun Apr 19 21:17:32 CEST 2009 1403.18 Sun Apr 19 21:17:32 CEST 2009
10 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh. 141 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh.
11 - try to avoid crashes due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. grmbl. 142 - try to avoid crashes due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. grmbl.
