12 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
13 to quick overview.
14 - splice can corrupt data.
15 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
16
174.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
18 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
19 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
20 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
21 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
22 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
23 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
24
254.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
26 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
27 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
28 - new request aio_seek.
29 - new request aio_fiemap.
30 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
31
324.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
33 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
34 instead of -1.
35 - port to c89.
36
374.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
38 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
39
404.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
41 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
42 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
43 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
44 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
45 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
46 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
47 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
48 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
49 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
50 in aio_scandir and treescan.
51 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
52 - added --progress switch to treescan.
53
544.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
55 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
56 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
57 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
58 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
59 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
60 a timeout occured at the same time.
61 - (libeio) added realpath.
62 - (libeio) added fallocate.
63 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
64 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
65 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
66
673.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
68 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
69
703.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
71 - ecb.h was missing.
72
733.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
74 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
75 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
76 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
77 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
78 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
79 transferred...)
80 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
81 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
82 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
83 pthread and fork in perl.
84 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
85 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
86 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
87 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
88
893.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
90 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
91 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
92 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
93 flags.
94
953.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
96 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
97 - support a max_idle value of 0.
98 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
99
1003.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
101 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
102 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
103 - new treescan option: --grep.
104 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
105
1063.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
107 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
108 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
109 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
110 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
111 funcitonality. ugh.
112
1133.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
114 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
115 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
116 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
117 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
118 (openbsd 4.8).
119 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
120 had string-data.
24 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-documented 121 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
25 them. 122 them.
123 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
124 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
125 user-errors better.
126 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
26 127
273.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010 1283.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
28 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not 129 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
29 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by 130 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
30 Rasmus Andersson). 131 Rasmus Andersson).
