93.2 144.0
10TODO: aio_scandir should short-circuit the case of no DT_UNKNOWN. 15 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
16 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
17 - passes testsuite on win32 now (activetstate 5.10.1, YMMV).
18 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
19 a timeout occured at the same time.
20 - (libeio) added realpath.
21 - (libeio) added fallocate.
22 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
23 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
24 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
25
263.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
27 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
28
293.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
30 - ecb.h was missing.
31
323.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
33 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
34 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
35 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
36 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
37 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
38 transferred...)
39 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
40 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
41 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
42 pthread and fork in perl.
43 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
44 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
45 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
46 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
47
483.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
49 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
50 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
51 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
52 flags.
53
543.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
55 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
56 - support a max_idle value of 0.
57 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
58
593.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
60 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
61 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
62 - new treescan option: --grep.
63 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
64
653.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
66 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
67 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
68 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
69 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
70 funcitonality. ugh.
71
723.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
73 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
74 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
75 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
76 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
77 (openbsd 4.8).
78 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
79 had string-data.
80 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
81 them.
82 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
83 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
84 user-errors better.
85 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
86
873.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
88 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
89 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
90 Rasmus Andersson).
91 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
92 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
93 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
94 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
95 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
96
973.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
98 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
99 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
100 kernel sources.
101 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
102 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
103 - clean up manpage.
104
1053.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
106 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
107 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
108 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
109 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
110 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
111 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
112
1133.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
114 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
115 - clarify cancel_subs description.
116 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
117 from the sendfile call.
118 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
119 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
120
1213.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
122 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
123 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
124 hash lookups.
125
1263.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
127 - use common::sense.
128 - use common schmorp.h header.
129 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
130 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
131 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
132
1333.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
134 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
135
1363.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
137 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
138 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
139 way. might help other os's too.
140
1413.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
142 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
143 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
144 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
145 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
146 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
147 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
148 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
149 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
150 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
151 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
152 but should not have been.
153 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
154 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
155
1563.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
157 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
158 rushed 3.22 release.
159
1603.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
161 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
162 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
163
1643.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
165 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
166 - install bin/treescan by default.
167 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
168 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
169 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
170 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
171 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
172 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
173 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
174
1753.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
11 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did 176 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
12 not restore the file offset. 177 not restore the file offset.
