12 51
52 - added pidfd_open, pidfd_getfd and pidfd_send_signal functions.
53 - rework bin/treescan to avoid recursion. This fixes two bugs
54 where a deep directory traversal or a lot of command line
55 arguments could cause it to crash.
56 - added (but not documented) open_tree, AT_* and move_mount flags.
57 - support defining syscall numbers in gendef0.
58
594.73 Fri Dec 4 02:08:37 CET 2020
60 - def0.h was not uptodate, running into musl problems
61 (reported by B Fraser).
62 - IO::AIO::splice and IO::AIO::tee didn't properly return
63 64 bit values.
64 - added IO::AIO::accept4.
65 - add various F_SEAL related fcntl constants.
66 - removed experimental marker for fdlimit functions.
67 - fiemap now includes the last segment even if it overflows
68 the end offset, which is arguably the correct behaviour.
69
704.72 Wed Apr 3 04:56:03 CEST 2019
71 - (libeio) if fd 0 is available do not use it for aio_wd, as it
72 collides with IO::AIO::CWD.
73 - added IO::AIO::memfd_create.
74 - correctly include <sys/uio.h> in the vmsplice test.
75 - reduce codesize by ~7% on amd64 by declaring more functions
76 as noinline.
77 - documentation fixes and updates.
78 - experimental and undocumented preliminary support for synchronous statx.
79
804.71 Sun Mar 10 13:09:26 CET 2019
81 - due to an error in the linux manpages, the configure tests
82 for readahead, sync_file_range, splice etc. failed. This has been fixed.
83
844.7 Mon Mar 4 11:28:13 CET 2019
85 - majorly speed up scandir for the very special case of a non-POSIX
86 filesystem that nevertheless reports valid dt_type information.
87 The only known filesystem of this type is currently btrfs, which
88 didn't get it's act together to implement POSIX semantics in all
89 these years, and I am tired of waiting.
90 - add IO::AIO::MCL_ONFAULT for mlockall, add IO::AIO::mlockall.
91 - neither sys/mkdev.h nor sys/sysmacros.h were included, even when they
92 were detected by autoconf.
93
944.6 Sat Aug 25 21:58:36 CEST 2018
95 - add st_btime, st_btimesec, st_btimensec and st_gen accessors,
96 mostly for bsds which expose birthtime and st_gen members (netbsd, freebsd
97 but only st_gen on openbsd because they compiled their perl without support
98 for birthtimes).
99 - fix madvise and munlock to properly support negative offsets.
100 - allocate fd for the aio_close at boot time, to guarantee it working
101 later, rather than calling abort when it fails. also avoids
102 close-on-exec race issues after module load.
103 - #undef utime on win32, maybe this helps some reports of utime hangs.
104 - minor doc improvements.
105 - minor configure cleanups.
106 - use $Config{perllibs} instead of libs for configure. might help people
107 who didn't install all perl dependencies (might break things as well).
108
1094.54 Tue Aug 14 13:54:48 CEST 2018
110 - include sys/mkdev.h or sys/sysmacros.h if available.
111 - further tweaks to configure invocation for systems requiring --rpath.
112 - no longer rely on custom paths on win32 platforms.
113 - try to work around buggy PAGESIZE macro on solaris.
114
1154.53 Tue Aug 14 11:27:50 CEST 2018
116 - add $Config{libs} to LIBS for configure, to work around systems
117 with broken library dependencies (... openbsd).
118
1194.52 Sun Aug 12 08:09:45 CEST 2018
120 - config.h.in was missing in distribution.
121
1224.51 Sun Aug 12 07:24:14 CEST 2018
123 - complete rework of the autoconf framework: IO::AIO now uses its own
124 config.h, separate from libeio, and tries to test the actual perl
125 environment, not the standard system environment.
126 - provide nanosecond-accracy stat time accessors for both perl and IO::AIO
127 stat functions.
128 - removed non-portable C++ syntax from eio.c.
129 - try to fix readdir tests on cygwin spuriously failing.
130
1314.5 Wed Aug 1 00:23:55 CEST 2018
132 - aio_mtouch touch all pages as requested, not just the first page in most cases.
133 - new function: IO::AIO::mremap, linux-specific mremap, with constants MREMAP_MAYMOVE
134 and MREMAP_FIXED.
135 - add O_ACCMODE.
136 - add (undocumented) MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC and SOCK_CLOEXEC constants.
137
1384.4 Tue Feb 20 07:54:12 CET 2018
139 - new aio_slurp request.
140 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::eventfd and timerfd* function.
141 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::get_fdlimit and IO::AIO::min_fdlimit.
142 - point out that aio_copy overwrites existing files.
143 - removed filesystem magic number table from aio_statvfs docs as
144 statvfs doesn't actually return this info at all (statfs does).
145 - add a bunch of (mostly linux-specific) constants for use in ioctls
146 (see aio_ioctl docs).
147 - treescan now has a proper manpage and useful --help output.
148 - new option --sync in treescan, to sync everything in a subtree.
149 - changed default for aio_msync flags to MSYNC_SYNC.
150 - document offset/length behaviour of mprotect/madvise.
151 - support linux's renameat2 (via aio_rename2).
152 - add aio_rename2, an aio_rename with flags.
153 - add F_DUPPFD_CLOEXEC, F_OFD_[SG]ETLKW? constants.
154 - add FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE, FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE_RANGE.
155 - (libeio) use posix_close if available.
156 - (libeio) internal close() calls no longer disturb errno.
157 - add IO:AIO::FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE.
158 - update schmorp.h for removal of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
159 and better eventfd detection.
160
1614.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
162 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
163 compile errors on various platforms.
164 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
165 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
166 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
167 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
168 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
169 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
170
1714.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
172 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
173 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
174 constants.
175 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
176 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK
177 consdtants, whether they can be sensibly used or not.
178 - use NO_INIT where applicable.
179 - update libecb.
180 - added stability canary support.
181 - updated linux super magic table to 4.3.3.
182
1834.32 Wed Feb 11 20:32:11 CET 2015
184 - replace off_t by STRLEN where appropriate, should not result in
185 user-visible changes.
186 - update ecb.h for C11 compatibility.
187
1884.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
189 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
190
1914.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
192 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
193 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
194 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
195 compatibility - I will never understand.
196
1974.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
198 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
199 the stack after req_submit.
200 - be more careful on (e.g. permission) errors in bin/treescan.
201 - work around changes in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
202 - (libeio) implement aio_realpath for win32.
203 - (xthread) work around compile time bugs in ptw32.
204 - added IO::AIO::pipesize.
205 - (libecb) insignificant update.
206
2074.19 Sun Jan 6 12:47:26 CET 2013
208 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
209 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]
210 and call rename/rmdir instead of renameat/unlinkat.
211
2124.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
213 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
214
2154.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
216 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
217 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
218 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
219 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
220 as per unix spec.
221
2224.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
223 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
224 it to malfunction for paths.
225 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
226 extents.
227 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
228 trash fiemap input arguments.
229 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
230 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
231 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
232 truncates segment count if a file.
233 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
234 to quick overview.
235 - splice can corrupt data.
236 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
237 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
238 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.

240
2414.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
242 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
243 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
244 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
245 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
246 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
247 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
248
2494.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
250 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
251 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
252 - new request aio_seek.
253 - new request aio_fiemap.
254 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
255
2564.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
257 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
258 instead of -1.
259 - port to c89.
260
2614.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
262 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
263
2644.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
265 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
266 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
267 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
268 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
269 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
270 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
271 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
272 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
273 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
274 in aio_scandir and treescan.
275 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
276 - added --progress switch to treescan.
277
2784.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
279 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
280 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
281 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
282 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
283 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
284 a timeout occured at the same time.
285 - (libeio) added realpath.
286 - (libeio) added fallocate.
287 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
288 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
289 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
290
2913.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
292 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
293
2943.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
295 - ecb.h was missing.
296
2973.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
298 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
299 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
300 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
301 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
302 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
303 transferred...)
304 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
305 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
306 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
307 pthread and fork in perl.
308 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
309 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
310 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
311 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
312
3133.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
314 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
315 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.

322 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
323
3243.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
13 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detetc mlock/munlock. 325 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
326 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
327 - new treescan option: --grep.
328 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
14 329
153.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010 3303.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
16 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify 331 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
17 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags. 332 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
18 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines 333 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
