9 11
103.25 12 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
13
144.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
15 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
16 instead of -1.
17 - port to c89.
18
194.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
20 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
21
224.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
23 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
24 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
25 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
26 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
27 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
28 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
29 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
30 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
31 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
32 in aio_scandir and treescan.
33 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
34 - added --progress switch to treescan.
35
364.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
37 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
38 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
39 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
40 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
41 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
42 a timeout occured at the same time.
43 - (libeio) added realpath.
44 - (libeio) added fallocate.
45 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
46 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
47 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
48
493.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
50 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
51
523.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
53 - ecb.h was missing.
54
553.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
56 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
57 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
58 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
59 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
60 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
61 transferred...)
62 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
63 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
64 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
65 pthread and fork in perl.
66 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
67 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
68 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
69 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
70
713.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
72 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
73 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
74 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
75 flags.
76
773.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
78 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
79 - support a max_idle value of 0.
80 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
81
823.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
83 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
84 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
85 - new treescan option: --grep.
86 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
87
883.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
89 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
90 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
91 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
92 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
93 funcitonality. ugh.
94
953.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
96 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
97 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
98 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
99 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
100 (openbsd 4.8).
101 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
102 had string-data.
103 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
104 them.
105 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
106 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
107 user-errors better.
108 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
109
1103.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
111 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
112 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
113 Rasmus Andersson).
114 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
115 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
116 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
117 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
118 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
119
1203.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
121 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
122 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
123 kernel sources.
124 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
125 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
126 - clean up manpage.
127
1283.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
129 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
130 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
131 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
132 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
133 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
134 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
135
1363.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
137 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
138 - clarify cancel_subs description.
139 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
140 from the sendfile call.
141 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
142 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
143
1443.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
145 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
146 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
147 hash lookups.
148
1493.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
150 - use common::sense.
151 - use common schmorp.h header.
152 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
153 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
154 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
155
1563.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
157 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
158
1593.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
160 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
161 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
162 way. might help other os's too.
163
1643.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
11 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile. 165 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
12 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix 166 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
13 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually 167 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
14 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on 168 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
15 degenerated (for quicksort) data. 169 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
