514.75 Wed Dec 30 08:44:55 CET 2020
52 - removed leftover debug output from treescan.
53 - added (but not documented) waitid-P_*, FSPICK_*, FSOPEN_*,
54 FSCONFIG_*, MOUNT_ATTR_* constants.
55
564.74 Tue Dec 29 16:19:28 CET 2020
57 - added pidfd_open, pidfd_getfd and pidfd_send_signal functions.
58 - rework bin/treescan to avoid recursion. This fixes two bugs
59 where a deep directory traversal or a lot of command line
60 arguments could cause it to crash.
61 - added (but not documented) open_tree, AT_* and move_mount flags.
62 - support defining syscall numbers in gendef0.
63
644.73 Fri Dec 4 02:08:37 CET 2020
65 - def0.h was not uptodate, running into musl problems
66 (reported by B Fraser).
67 - IO::AIO::splice and IO::AIO::tee didn't properly return
68 64 bit values.
69 - added IO::AIO::accept4.
70 - add various F_SEAL related fcntl constants.
71 - removed experimental marker for fdlimit functions.
72 - fiemap now includes the last segment even if it overflows
73 the end offset, which is arguably the correct behaviour.
74
754.72 Wed Apr 3 04:56:03 CEST 2019
76 - (libeio) if fd 0 is available do not use it for aio_wd, as it
77 collides with IO::AIO::CWD.
78 - added IO::AIO::memfd_create.
79 - correctly include <sys/uio.h> in the vmsplice test.
80 - reduce codesize by ~7% on amd64 by declaring more functions
81 as noinline.
82 - documentation fixes and updates.
83 - experimental and undocumented preliminary support for synchronous statx.
84
854.71 Sun Mar 10 13:09:26 CET 2019
86 - due to an error in the linux manpages, the configure tests
87 for readahead, sync_file_range, splice etc. failed. This has been fixed.
88
894.7 Mon Mar 4 11:28:13 CET 2019
90 - majorly speed up scandir for the very special case of a non-POSIX
91 filesystem that nevertheless reports valid dt_type information.
92 The only known filesystem of this type is currently btrfs, which
93 didn't get it's act together to implement POSIX semantics in all
94 these years, and I am tired of waiting.
95 - add IO::AIO::MCL_ONFAULT for mlockall, add IO::AIO::mlockall.
96 - neither sys/mkdev.h nor sys/sysmacros.h were included, even when they
97 were detected by autoconf.
98
994.6 Sat Aug 25 21:58:36 CEST 2018
100 - add st_btime, st_btimesec, st_btimensec and st_gen accessors,
101 mostly for bsds which expose birthtime and st_gen members (netbsd, freebsd
102 but only st_gen on openbsd because they compiled their perl without support
103 for birthtimes).
104 - fix madvise and munlock to properly support negative offsets.
105 - allocate fd for the aio_close at boot time, to guarantee it working
106 later, rather than calling abort when it fails. also avoids
107 close-on-exec race issues after module load.
108 - #undef utime on win32, maybe this helps some reports of utime hangs.
109 - minor doc improvements.
110 - minor configure cleanups.
111 - use $Config{perllibs} instead of libs for configure. might help people
112 who didn't install all perl dependencies (might break things as well).
113
1144.54 Tue Aug 14 13:54:48 CEST 2018
115 - include sys/mkdev.h or sys/sysmacros.h if available.
116 - further tweaks to configure invocation for systems requiring --rpath.
117 - no longer rely on custom paths on win32 platforms.
118 - try to work around buggy PAGESIZE macro on solaris.
119
1204.53 Tue Aug 14 11:27:50 CEST 2018
121 - add $Config{libs} to LIBS for configure, to work around systems
122 with broken library dependencies (... openbsd).
123
1244.52 Sun Aug 12 08:09:45 CEST 2018
125 - config.h.in was missing in distribution.
126
1274.51 Sun Aug 12 07:24:14 CEST 2018
128 - complete rework of the autoconf framework: IO::AIO now uses its own
129 config.h, separate from libeio, and tries to test the actual perl
130 environment, not the standard system environment.
131 - provide nanosecond-accracy stat time accessors for both perl and IO::AIO
132 stat functions.
133 - removed non-portable C++ syntax from eio.c.
134 - try to fix readdir tests on cygwin spuriously failing.
135
1364.5 Wed Aug 1 00:23:55 CEST 2018
137 - aio_mtouch touch all pages as requested, not just the first page in most cases.
138 - new function: IO::AIO::mremap, linux-specific mremap, with constants MREMAP_MAYMOVE
139 and MREMAP_FIXED.
140 - add O_ACCMODE.
141 - add (undocumented) MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC and SOCK_CLOEXEC constants.
142
1434.4 Tue Feb 20 07:54:12 CET 2018
144 - new aio_slurp request.
145 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::eventfd and timerfd* function.
146 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::get_fdlimit and IO::AIO::min_fdlimit.
147 - point out that aio_copy overwrites existing files.
148 - removed filesystem magic number table from aio_statvfs docs as
149 statvfs doesn't actually return this info at all (statfs does).
150 - add a bunch of (mostly linux-specific) constants for use in ioctls
151 (see aio_ioctl docs).
152 - treescan now has a proper manpage and useful --help output.
153 - new option --sync in treescan, to sync everything in a subtree.
154 - changed default for aio_msync flags to MSYNC_SYNC.
155 - document offset/length behaviour of mprotect/madvise.
156 - support linux's renameat2 (via aio_rename2).
157 - add aio_rename2, an aio_rename with flags.
158 - add F_DUPPFD_CLOEXEC, F_OFD_[SG]ETLKW? constants.
159 - add FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE, FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE_RANGE.
160 - (libeio) use posix_close if available.
161 - (libeio) internal close() calls no longer disturb errno.
162 - add IO:AIO::FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE.
163 - update schmorp.h for removal of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
164 and better eventfd detection.
165
1664.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
167 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
168 compile errors on various platforms.
169 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
170 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
171 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
172 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
173 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
174 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
175
1764.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
177 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
178 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
179 constants.
180 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
181 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK
182 consdtants, whether they can be sensibly used or not.
183 - use NO_INIT where applicable.
184 - update libecb.
185 - added stability canary support.
186 - updated linux super magic table to 4.3.3.
187
1884.32 Wed Feb 11 20:32:11 CET 2015
189 - replace off_t by STRLEN where appropriate, should not result in
190 user-visible changes.
191 - update ecb.h for C11 compatibility.
192
1934.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
194 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
195
1964.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
197 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
198 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
199 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
200 compatibility - I will never understand.
201
2024.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
203 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
204 the stack after req_submit.
205 - be more careful on (e.g. permission) errors in bin/treescan.
206 - work around changes in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
207 - (libeio) implement aio_realpath for win32.
208 - (xthread) work around compile time bugs in ptw32.

210 - (libecb) insignificant update.
211
2124.19 Sun Jan 6 12:47:26 CET 2013
213 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
214 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]
215 and call rename/rmdir instead of renameat/unlinkat.
216
2174.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
218 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
219
2204.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
221 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
222 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
223 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
224 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
225 as per unix spec.
226
2274.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
228 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
229 it to malfunction for paths.
230 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
231 extents.
232 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
233 trash fiemap input arguments.
234 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
235 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
236 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
237 truncates segment count if a file.
238 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
239 to quick overview.

245
2464.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
247 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
248 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
249 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
250 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
251 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
252 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
253
2544.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
255 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
