144.0
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.
9 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix 143 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
10 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually 144 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
11 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on 145 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
12 degenerated (for quicksort) data. 146 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
13 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type 147 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
14 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used. 148 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
15 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no 149 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
16 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue. 150 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
17 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code 151 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
18 but should not have been. 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).

203.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009 1563.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
