12 48
49 - add IO::AIO::mount and IO::AIO::umount.
50 - add a bunch of symbols from sys/mount.h.
51
524.77 Mon 05 Sep 2022 02:03:38 CEST
53 - add MFD_HUGETLB_2MB and MFD_HUGETLB_1GB constants.
54 - add fexecve.
55 - add lots of missing functions to @EXPORT_OK.
56
574.76 Tue Jul 27 20:45:01 CEST 2021
58 - add autoconf test for siginfo_t, which is, of course, not
59 available on windows (reported by Peter Petky).
60 - disable syscalls on solaris, as perl seems to provide an
61 incompatible syscall prototype that clashes with sys/syscall.h.
62 - add MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE, MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE, MAP_SYNC and
63 MAP_UNINITIALIZED.
64
654.75 Wed Dec 30 08:44:55 CET 2020
66 - removed leftover debug output from treescan.
67 - added (but not documented) waitid-P_*, FSPICK_*, FSOPEN_*,
68 FSCONFIG_*, MOUNT_ATTR_* constants.
69
704.74 Tue Dec 29 16:19:28 CET 2020
71 - added pidfd_open, pidfd_getfd and pidfd_send_signal functions.
72 - rework bin/treescan to avoid recursion. This fixes two bugs
73 where a deep directory traversal or a lot of command line
74 arguments could cause it to crash.
75 - added (but not documented) open_tree, AT_* and move_mount flags.
76 - support defining syscall numbers in gendef0.
77
784.73 Fri Dec 4 02:08:37 CET 2020
79 - def0.h was not uptodate, running into musl problems
80 (reported by B Fraser).
81 - IO::AIO::splice and IO::AIO::tee didn't properly return
82 64 bit values.
83 - added IO::AIO::accept4.
84 - add various F_SEAL related fcntl constants.
85 - removed experimental marker for fdlimit functions.
86 - fiemap now includes the last segment even if it overflows
87 the end offset, which is arguably the correct behaviour.
88
894.72 Wed Apr 3 04:56:03 CEST 2019
90 - (libeio) if fd 0 is available do not use it for aio_wd, as it
91 collides with IO::AIO::CWD.
92 - added IO::AIO::memfd_create.
93 - correctly include <sys/uio.h> in the vmsplice test.
94 - reduce codesize by ~7% on amd64 by declaring more functions
95 as noinline.
96 - documentation fixes and updates.
97 - experimental and undocumented preliminary support for synchronous statx.
98
994.71 Sun Mar 10 13:09:26 CET 2019
100 - due to an error in the linux manpages, the configure tests
101 for readahead, sync_file_range, splice etc. failed. This has been fixed.
102
1034.7 Mon Mar 4 11:28:13 CET 2019
104 - majorly speed up scandir for the very special case of a non-POSIX
105 filesystem that nevertheless reports valid dt_type information.
106 The only known filesystem of this type is currently btrfs, which
107 didn't get it's act together to implement POSIX semantics in all
108 these years, and I am tired of waiting.
109 - add IO::AIO::MCL_ONFAULT for mlockall, add IO::AIO::mlockall.
110 - neither sys/mkdev.h nor sys/sysmacros.h were included, even when they
111 were detected by autoconf.
112
1134.6 Sat Aug 25 21:58:36 CEST 2018
114 - add st_btime, st_btimesec, st_btimensec and st_gen accessors,
115 mostly for bsds which expose birthtime and st_gen members (netbsd, freebsd
116 but only st_gen on openbsd because they compiled their perl without support
117 for birthtimes).
118 - fix madvise and munlock to properly support negative offsets.
119 - allocate fd for the aio_close at boot time, to guarantee it working
120 later, rather than calling abort when it fails. also avoids
121 close-on-exec race issues after module load.
122 - #undef utime on win32, maybe this helps some reports of utime hangs.
123 - minor doc improvements.
124 - minor configure cleanups.
125 - use $Config{perllibs} instead of libs for configure. might help people
126 who didn't install all perl dependencies (might break things as well).
127
1284.54 Tue Aug 14 13:54:48 CEST 2018
129 - include sys/mkdev.h or sys/sysmacros.h if available.
130 - further tweaks to configure invocation for systems requiring --rpath.
131 - no longer rely on custom paths on win32 platforms.
132 - try to work around buggy PAGESIZE macro on solaris.
133
1344.53 Tue Aug 14 11:27:50 CEST 2018
135 - add $Config{libs} to LIBS for configure, to work around systems
136 with broken library dependencies (... openbsd).
137
1384.52 Sun Aug 12 08:09:45 CEST 2018
139 - config.h.in was missing in distribution.
140
1414.51 Sun Aug 12 07:24:14 CEST 2018
142 - complete rework of the autoconf framework: IO::AIO now uses its own
143 config.h, separate from libeio, and tries to test the actual perl
144 environment, not the standard system environment.
145 - provide nanosecond-accracy stat time accessors for both perl and IO::AIO
146 stat functions.
147 - removed non-portable C++ syntax from eio.c.
148 - try to fix readdir tests on cygwin spuriously failing.
149
1504.5 Wed Aug 1 00:23:55 CEST 2018
151 - aio_mtouch touch all pages as requested, not just the first page in most cases.
152 - new function: IO::AIO::mremap, linux-specific mremap, with constants MREMAP_MAYMOVE
153 and MREMAP_FIXED.
154 - add O_ACCMODE.
155 - add (undocumented) MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC and SOCK_CLOEXEC constants.
156
1574.4 Tue Feb 20 07:54:12 CET 2018
158 - new aio_slurp request.
159 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::eventfd and timerfd* function.
160 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::get_fdlimit and IO::AIO::min_fdlimit.
161 - point out that aio_copy overwrites existing files.
162 - removed filesystem magic number table from aio_statvfs docs as
163 statvfs doesn't actually return this info at all (statfs does).
164 - add a bunch of (mostly linux-specific) constants for use in ioctls
165 (see aio_ioctl docs).
166 - treescan now has a proper manpage and useful --help output.
167 - new option --sync in treescan, to sync everything in a subtree.
168 - changed default for aio_msync flags to MSYNC_SYNC.
169 - document offset/length behaviour of mprotect/madvise.
170 - support linux's renameat2 (via aio_rename2).
171 - add aio_rename2, an aio_rename with flags.
172 - add F_DUPPFD_CLOEXEC, F_OFD_[SG]ETLKW? constants.
173 - add FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE, FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE_RANGE.
174 - (libeio) use posix_close if available.
175 - (libeio) internal close() calls no longer disturb errno.
176 - add IO:AIO::FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE.
177 - update schmorp.h for removal of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
178 and better eventfd detection.
179
1804.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
181 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
182 compile errors on various platforms.
183 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
184 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
185 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
186 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
187 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
188 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
189
1904.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
191 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
192 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
193 constants.
194 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
195 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK
196 consdtants, whether they can be sensibly used or not.
197 - use NO_INIT where applicable.
198 - update libecb.
199 - added stability canary support.
200 - updated linux super magic table to 4.3.3.
201
2024.32 Wed Feb 11 20:32:11 CET 2015
203 - replace off_t by STRLEN where appropriate, should not result in
204 user-visible changes.
205 - update ecb.h for C11 compatibility.
206
2074.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
208 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
209
2104.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
211 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
212 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
213 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
214 compatibility - I will never understand.
215
2164.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
217 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
218 the stack after req_submit.
219 - be more careful on (e.g. permission) errors in bin/treescan.
220 - work around changes in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
221 - (libeio) implement aio_realpath for win32.
222 - (xthread) work around compile time bugs in ptw32.
223 - added IO::AIO::pipesize.
224 - (libecb) insignificant update.
225
2264.19 Sun Jan 6 12:47:26 CET 2013
227 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
228 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]
229 and call rename/rmdir instead of renameat/unlinkat.
230
2314.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
232 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
233
2344.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
235 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
236 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
237 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
238 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
239 as per unix spec.
240
2414.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
242 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
243 it to malfunction for paths.
244 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
245 extents.
246 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
247 trash fiemap input arguments.
248 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
249 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
250 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
251 truncates segment count if a file.
252 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
253 to quick overview.
254 - splice can corrupt data.
255 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
256 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.

259
2604.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
261 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
262 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
263 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
264 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
265 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
266 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
267
2684.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
269 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.

271 - new request aio_seek.
272 - new request aio_fiemap.
273 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
274
2754.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
276 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
277 instead of -1.
278 - port to c89.
279
2804.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
281 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
282
2834.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
284 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
285 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.

287 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
288 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
289 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
290 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
291 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
292 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
293 in aio_scandir and treescan.
294 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
295 - added --progress switch to treescan.
296
2974.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
298 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
299 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
300 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
301 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
302 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
303 a timeout occured at the same time.
304 - (libeio) added realpath.
305 - (libeio) added fallocate.
306 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.

309
3103.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
311 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
312
3133.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
314 - ecb.h was missing.
315
3163.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
317 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
318 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
319 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
320 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
321 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
322 transferred...)
323 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
324 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
325 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
326 pthread and fork in perl.
327 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
328 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
329 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
330 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
331
3323.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
333 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags

13 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detetc mlock/munlock. 344 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
345 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
14 - new treescan option: --grep. 346 - new treescan option: --grep.
347 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
15 348
163.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010 3493.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
17 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify 350 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
18 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags. 351 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
19 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines 352 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
