3 | TODO: better autoconf.pm that can return LIBS etc. |

5 | 1.7 Mon Dec 26 19:29:48 CET 2005 |
|
|
6 | - aio_scandir errornously called callback twice in some cases. |
|
|
7 | - added AnyEvent example. |
|
|
8 | |
|
|
9 | 1.61 Wed Sep 7 19:40:42 CEST 2005 |
|
|
10 | - no longer include $Config{libs}, as distros include too much |
|
|
11 | garbage in there that is not installed on typical systems |
|
|
12 | (for example, debian links perl against -lgdbm and many more |
|
|
13 | libraries despite perl not needing it, slowing down startup and |
|
|
14 | wasting memory). |
|
|
15 | |
|
|
16 | 1.6 Tue Aug 30 17:44:44 CEST 2005 |
|
|
17 | - added aio_readdir, aio_scandir. |
|
|
18 | - added aio_sendfile, including sendfile emulation when sendfile |
|
|
19 | isn't available. Linux, FreeBSD and HP-UX might work (sendfilev |
|
|
20 | support is unavailable on my solaris 8 machine, but preliminary |
|
|
21 | code is there. What's lacking is configury stuff and testing...). |
|
|
22 | |
|
|
23 | 1.5 Sat Aug 20 02:32:19 CEST 2005 |
|
|
24 | - create the aio threads on demand only (good after forking). |
|
|
25 | - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should |
|
|
26 | be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones. |
|
|
27 | - abort when the configure script fails. |
|
|
28 | |
|
|
29 | 1.4 Wed Aug 17 08:07:27 CEST 2005 |
|
|
30 | - forget to recreate the pipe after forking, this could cause |
|
|
31 | deadlocks. |
|
|
32 | |
|
|
33 | 1.3 Wed Aug 17 07:25:54 CEST 2005 |
|
|
34 | - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently |
|
|
35 | eating them. |
|
|
36 | - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback |
|
|
37 | invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes. |
|
|
38 | - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong |
|
|
39 | length after reading. |
|
|
40 | - fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests |
|
|
41 | from the parent. |
|
|
42 | - make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon |
|
|
43 | (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes. |
|
|
44 | - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write. |
|
|
45 | - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data |
|
|
46 | scalar for better error reporting. |
|
|
47 | |
|
|
48 | 1.2 Wed Aug 17 01:22:58 CEST 2005 |
|
|
49 | - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris. |
|
|
50 | - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to |
|
|
51 | the external filename encoding first. |
|
|
52 | - fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again). |
|
|
53 | - clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away |
|
|
54 | with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS. |
|
|
55 | - fork'ing should now be officially supported (where linux and |
|
|
56 | posix contradict each other, I followed posix). |
|
|
57 | - only call read() once per poll, not twice (speedup). |
|
|
58 | - new functions: aio_rmdir, aio_symlink. |
|
|
59 | - force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better |
|
|
60 | error catching. |
