8 12
13 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detetc mlock/munlock.
14 - new treescan option: --grep.
15
163.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
17 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
18 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
19 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
20 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
21 funcitonality. ugh.
22
233.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
24 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
25 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
26 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
27 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
28 (openbsd 4.8).
29 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
30 had string-data.
31 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
32 them.
33 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
34 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
35 user-errors better.
36 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
37
383.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
39 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
40 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
41 Rasmus Andersson).
42 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
43 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
44 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
45 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
46 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
47
483.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
49 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
50 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
51 kernel sources.
52 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
53 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
54 - clean up manpage.
55
563.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
57 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
58 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
59 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
60 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
61 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
62 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
63
643.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
65 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
66 - clarify cancel_subs description.
67 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
68 from the sendfile call.
69 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
70 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
71
723.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
73 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
74 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
75 hash lookups.
76
773.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
78 - use common::sense.
79 - use common schmorp.h header.
80 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
81 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
82 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
83
843.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
85 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
86
873.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
88 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
89 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
90 way. might help other os's too.
91
923.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
93 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
94 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
95 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
96 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
97 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
98 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
99 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
100 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
101 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
102 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
103 but should not have been.
104 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
105 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
106
1073.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
108 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
109 rushed 3.22 release.
110
1113.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
112 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
113 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
114
1153.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
9 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan. 116 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
10 - install bin/treescan by default. 117 - install bin/treescan by default.
11 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing. 118 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
119 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
120 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
121 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
122 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
123 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
124 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.

14 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did 127 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
15 not restore the file offset. 128 not restore the file offset.
