10 11
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
11 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by 121 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
12 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual 122 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
13 kernel sources. 123 kernel sources.
14 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support. 124 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
15 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support. 125 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
