12TODO: MS_xxx, posix_fadvise, posix_madvise 13 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
13TODO: realpath 14 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
15 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
16
174.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
18 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
19 it to malfunctiobn for paths.
20 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
21 extents.
22 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
23 trash fiemap input arguments.
24 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
25 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
26 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
27 truncates segment count if a file.
28 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
29 to quick overview.
30 - splice can corrupt data.
31 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
32 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
33 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.
34 - provide pread/pwrite for win32, making it link again on native win32.
35
364.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
37 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
38 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
39 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
40 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
41 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
42 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
43
444.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
45 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
46 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
47 - new request aio_seek.
48 - new request aio_fiemap.
49 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
50
514.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
52 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
53 instead of -1.
54 - port to c89.
55
564.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
57 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
58
594.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
60 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
61 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
62 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
63 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
64 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
65 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
66 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
67 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
68 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
69 in aio_scandir and treescan.
70 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
71 - added --progress switch to treescan.
72
734.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
74 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
75 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
76 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
77 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
78 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
79 a timeout occured at the same time.
80 - (libeio) added realpath.
81 - (libeio) added fallocate.
82 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
83 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
84 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.

14 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other 93 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
15 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested 94 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
16 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic. 95 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
17 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big 96 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
18 files (fortunately it vchecks that the whole file has been 97 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
19 transferred...) 98 transferred...)
20 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability. 99 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
21 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken. 100 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
22 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing 101 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
23 pthread and fork in perl. 102 pthread and fork in perl.
103 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
104 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
105 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
106 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
