12 48
494.78 Tue 06 Sep 2022 12:54:43 CEST
50 - add IO::AIO::mount and IO::AIO::umount.
51 - add a bunch of symbols from sys/mount.h.
52
534.77 Mon 05 Sep 2022 02:03:38 CEST
54 - add MFD_HUGETLB_2MB and MFD_HUGETLB_1GB constants.
55 - add fexecve.
56 - add lots of missing functions to @EXPORT_OK.
57
584.76 Tue Jul 27 20:45:01 CEST 2021
59 - add autoconf test for siginfo_t, which is, of course, not
60 available on windows (reported by Peter Petky).
61 - disable syscalls on solaris, as perl seems to provide an
62 incompatible syscall prototype that clashes with sys/syscall.h.
63 - add MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE, MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE, MAP_SYNC and
64 MAP_UNINITIALIZED.
65
664.75 Wed Dec 30 08:44:55 CET 2020
67 - removed leftover debug output from treescan.
68 - added (but not documented) waitid-P_*, FSPICK_*, FSOPEN_*,
69 FSCONFIG_*, MOUNT_ATTR_* constants.
70
714.74 Tue Dec 29 16:19:28 CET 2020
72 - added pidfd_open, pidfd_getfd and pidfd_send_signal functions.
73 - rework bin/treescan to avoid recursion. This fixes two bugs
74 where a deep directory traversal or a lot of command line
75 arguments could cause it to crash.
76 - added (but not documented) open_tree, AT_* and move_mount flags.
77 - support defining syscall numbers in gendef0.
78
794.73 Fri Dec 4 02:08:37 CET 2020
80 - def0.h was not uptodate, running into musl problems
81 (reported by B Fraser).
82 - IO::AIO::splice and IO::AIO::tee didn't properly return
83 64 bit values.
84 - added IO::AIO::accept4.
85 - add various F_SEAL related fcntl constants.
86 - removed experimental marker for fdlimit functions.
87 - fiemap now includes the last segment even if it overflows
88 the end offset, which is arguably the correct behaviour.
89
904.72 Wed Apr 3 04:56:03 CEST 2019
91 - (libeio) if fd 0 is available do not use it for aio_wd, as it
92 collides with IO::AIO::CWD.
93 - added IO::AIO::memfd_create.
94 - correctly include <sys/uio.h> in the vmsplice test.
95 - reduce codesize by ~7% on amd64 by declaring more functions
96 as noinline.
97 - documentation fixes and updates.
98 - experimental and undocumented preliminary support for synchronous statx.
99
1004.71 Sun Mar 10 13:09:26 CET 2019
101 - due to an error in the linux manpages, the configure tests
102 for readahead, sync_file_range, splice etc. failed. This has been fixed.
103
1044.7 Mon Mar 4 11:28:13 CET 2019
105 - majorly speed up scandir for the very special case of a non-POSIX
106 filesystem that nevertheless reports valid dt_type information.
107 The only known filesystem of this type is currently btrfs, which
108 didn't get it's act together to implement POSIX semantics in all
109 these years, and I am tired of waiting.
110 - add IO::AIO::MCL_ONFAULT for mlockall, add IO::AIO::mlockall.
111 - neither sys/mkdev.h nor sys/sysmacros.h were included, even when they
112 were detected by autoconf.
113
1144.6 Sat Aug 25 21:58:36 CEST 2018
115 - add st_btime, st_btimesec, st_btimensec and st_gen accessors,
116 mostly for bsds which expose birthtime and st_gen members (netbsd, freebsd
117 but only st_gen on openbsd because they compiled their perl without support
118 for birthtimes).
119 - fix madvise and munlock to properly support negative offsets.
120 - allocate fd for the aio_close at boot time, to guarantee it working
121 later, rather than calling abort when it fails. also avoids
122 close-on-exec race issues after module load.
123 - #undef utime on win32, maybe this helps some reports of utime hangs.
124 - minor doc improvements.
125 - minor configure cleanups.
126 - use $Config{perllibs} instead of libs for configure. might help people
127 who didn't install all perl dependencies (might break things as well).
128
1294.54 Tue Aug 14 13:54:48 CEST 2018
130 - include sys/mkdev.h or sys/sysmacros.h if available.
131 - further tweaks to configure invocation for systems requiring --rpath.
132 - no longer rely on custom paths on win32 platforms.
133 - try to work around buggy PAGESIZE macro on solaris.
134
1354.53 Tue Aug 14 11:27:50 CEST 2018
136 - add $Config{libs} to LIBS for configure, to work around systems
137 with broken library dependencies (... openbsd).
138
1394.52 Sun Aug 12 08:09:45 CEST 2018
140 - config.h.in was missing in distribution.
141
1424.51 Sun Aug 12 07:24:14 CEST 2018
143 - complete rework of the autoconf framework: IO::AIO now uses its own
144 config.h, separate from libeio, and tries to test the actual perl
145 environment, not the standard system environment.
146 - provide nanosecond-accracy stat time accessors for both perl and IO::AIO
147 stat functions.
148 - removed non-portable C++ syntax from eio.c.
149 - try to fix readdir tests on cygwin spuriously failing.
150
1514.5 Wed Aug 1 00:23:55 CEST 2018
152 - aio_mtouch touch all pages as requested, not just the first page in most cases.
153 - new function: IO::AIO::mremap, linux-specific mremap, with constants MREMAP_MAYMOVE
154 and MREMAP_FIXED.
155 - add O_ACCMODE.
156 - add (undocumented) MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC and SOCK_CLOEXEC constants.
157
1584.4 Tue Feb 20 07:54:12 CET 2018
159 - new aio_slurp request.
160 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::eventfd and timerfd* function.
161 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::get_fdlimit and IO::AIO::min_fdlimit.
162 - point out that aio_copy overwrites existing files.
163 - removed filesystem magic number table from aio_statvfs docs as
164 statvfs doesn't actually return this info at all (statfs does).
165 - add a bunch of (mostly linux-specific) constants for use in ioctls
166 (see aio_ioctl docs).
167 - treescan now has a proper manpage and useful --help output.
168 - new option --sync in treescan, to sync everything in a subtree.
169 - changed default for aio_msync flags to MSYNC_SYNC.
170 - document offset/length behaviour of mprotect/madvise.
171 - support linux's renameat2 (via aio_rename2).
172 - add aio_rename2, an aio_rename with flags.
173 - add F_DUPPFD_CLOEXEC, F_OFD_[SG]ETLKW? constants.
174 - add FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE, FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE_RANGE.
175 - (libeio) use posix_close if available.
176 - (libeio) internal close() calls no longer disturb errno.
177 - add IO:AIO::FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE.
178 - update schmorp.h for removal of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
179 and better eventfd detection.
180
1814.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
182 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
183 compile errors on various platforms.
184 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
185 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
186 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
187 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
188 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
189 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
190
1914.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
192 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
193 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
194 constants.
195 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
196 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK
197 consdtants, whether they can be sensibly used or not.
198 - use NO_INIT where applicable.
199 - update libecb.
200 - added stability canary support.
201 - updated linux super magic table to 4.3.3.
202
2034.32 Wed Feb 11 20:32:11 CET 2015
204 - replace off_t by STRLEN where appropriate, should not result in
205 user-visible changes.
206 - update ecb.h for C11 compatibility.
207
2084.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
209 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
210
2114.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
212 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
213 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
214 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
215 compatibility - I will never understand.
216
2174.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
218 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
219 the stack after req_submit.
220 - be more careful on (e.g. permission) errors in bin/treescan.
221 - work around changes in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
222 - (libeio) implement aio_realpath for win32.
223 - (xthread) work around compile time bugs in ptw32.
224 - added IO::AIO::pipesize.
225 - (libecb) insignificant update.
226
2274.19 Sun Jan 6 12:47:26 CET 2013
228 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
229 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]
230 and call rename/rmdir instead of renameat/unlinkat.
231
2324.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
233 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
234
2354.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
236 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
237 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
238 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
239 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
240 as per unix spec.
241
2424.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
243 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
244 it to malfunction for paths.
245 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
246 extents.
247 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
248 trash fiemap input arguments.
249 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
250 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
251 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
252 truncates segment count if a file.
253 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
254 to quick overview.
255 - splice can corrupt data.
256 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
257 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.

260
2614.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
262 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
263 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
264 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
265 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
266 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
267 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
268
2694.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
270 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.

272 - new request aio_seek.
273 - new request aio_fiemap.
274 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
275
2764.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
277 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
278 instead of -1.
279 - port to c89.
280
2814.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
282 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
283
2844.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
285 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
286 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.

288 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
289 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
290 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
291 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
292 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
293 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
294 in aio_scandir and treescan.
295 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
296 - added --progress switch to treescan.
297
2984.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
299 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
300 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
301 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
302 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
303 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
304 a timeout occured at the same time.

310
3113.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
312 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
313
3143.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
315 - ecb.h was missing.
316
3173.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
318 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
319 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
320 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
321 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
322 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
323 transferred...)
324 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
325 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
326 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
327 pthread and fork in perl.
328 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
329 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
330 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
331 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
332
3333.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
334 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags

341 - support a max_idle value of 0.
342 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
343

13 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detetc mlock/munlock. 345 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
346 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
14 - new treescan option: --grep. 347 - new treescan option: --grep.
348 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
15 349
163.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010 3503.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
17 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify 351 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
18 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags. 352 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
19 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines 353 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
