194.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
20 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
21 instead of -1.
22 - port to c89.
23
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.
40
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.
81
823.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
83 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
84 - support a max_idle value of 0.
85 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
86
873.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
88 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
89 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
90 - new treescan option: --grep.
91 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
92
933.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
94 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
95 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
96 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
97 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
98 funcitonality. ugh.
99
1003.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
101 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
102 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
103 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
104 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
105 (openbsd 4.8).
30 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already 106 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
31 had string-data. 107 had string-data.
32 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-documented 108 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
33 them. 109 them.
34 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case. 110 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
35 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect 111 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
36 user-errors better. 112 user-errors better.
113 - fix aio_readlink prototype.

383.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010 1153.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
39 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not 116 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
40 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by 117 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
41 Rasmus Andersson). 118 Rasmus Andersson).
