12 const_iv (O_ASYNC) 124.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
13 const_iv (O_DIRECT) 13 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
14 const_iv (O_NOATIME) 14 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
15 - new request aio_seek.
16 - new request aio_fiemap.
17 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.

17 const_iv (O_NOCTTY) 20 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,

244.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
25 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
26
274.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
28 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
29 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
30 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
31 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
32 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
33 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
34 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
35 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
36 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
37 in aio_scandir and treescan.
38 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
39 - added --progress switch to treescan.

414.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
42 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
43 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
44 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
45 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
46 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
47 a timeout occured at the same time.
48 - (libeio) added realpath.
49 - (libeio) added fallocate.
50 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
51 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
52 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
53
543.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
55 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
56
573.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
58 - ecb.h was missing.
59
603.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
61 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
62 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
63 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
64 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
65 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
66 transferred...)
67 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
68 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
69 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
70 pthread and fork in perl.
71 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
72 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
73 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
74 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
75
763.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
77 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
78 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
79 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
80 flags.
28 81
293.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011 823.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
30 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique. 83 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
31 - support a max_idle value of 0. 84 - support a max_idle value of 0.
32 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout). 85 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
