124.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
13 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
14 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
15 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
16 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
17 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
18 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
19
204.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
21 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
22 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
23 - new request aio_seek.
24 - new request aio_fiemap.
25 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
26
274.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
28 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
29 instead of -1.
30 - port to c89.
31
324.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
33 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
34
354.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
36 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
37 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
38 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
39 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
40 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
41 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
42 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
43 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
44 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
45 in aio_scandir and treescan.
46 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
47 - added --progress switch to treescan.
48
494.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
50 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
51 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
52 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
53 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
54 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
55 a timeout occured at the same time.
56 - (libeio) added realpath.
57 - (libeio) added fallocate.
58 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
59 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
60 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
61
623.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
63 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
64
653.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
66 - ecb.h was missing.
67
683.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
69 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
70 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
71 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
72 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
73 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
74 transferred...)
75 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
76 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
77 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
78 pthread and fork in perl.
79 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
80 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
81 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
82 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
83
843.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
85 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
86 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
87 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
88 flags.
89
903.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
91 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
92 - support a max_idle value of 0.
93 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
94
953.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
13 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detetc mlock/munlock. 96 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
97 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
98 - new treescan option: --grep.
99 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".

16 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify 102 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
17 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags. 103 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
