41 - correctly include <sys/uio.h> in the vmsplice test.
42
434.71 Sun Mar 10 13:09:26 CET 2019
44 - due to an error in the linux manpages, the configure tests
45 for readahead, sync_file_range, splice etc. failed. This has been fixed.
46
474.7 Mon Mar 4 11:28:13 CET 2019
48 - majorly speed up scandir for the very special case of a non-POSIX
49 filesystem that nevertheless reports valid dt_type information.
50 The only known filesystem of this type is currently btrfs, which
51 didn't get it's act together to implement POSIX semantics in all
52 these years, and I am tired of waiting.
53 - add IO::AIO::MCL_ONFAULT for mlockall, add IO::AIO::mlockall.
54 - neither sys/mkdev.h nor sys/sysmacros.h were included, even when they
55 were detected by autoconf.
56
574.6 Sat Aug 25 21:58:36 CEST 2018
58 - add st_btime, st_btimesec, st_btimensec and st_gen accessors,
59 mostly for bsds which expose birthtime and st_gen members (netbsd, freebsd
60 but only st_gen on openbsd because they compiled their perl without support
61 for birthtimes).
62 - fix madvise and munlock to properly support negative offsets.
63 - allocate fd for the aio_close at boot time, to guarantee it working
64 later, rather than calling abort when it fails. also avoids
65 close-on-exec race issues after module load.
66 - #undef utime on win32, maybe this helps some reports of utime hangs.
67 - minor doc improvements.
68 - minor configure cleanups.
69 - use $Config{perllibs} instead of libs for configure. might help people
70 who didn't install all perl dependencies (might break things as well).
71
724.54 Tue Aug 14 13:54:48 CEST 2018
73 - include sys/mkdev.h or sys/sysmacros.h if available.
74 - further tweaks to configure invocation for systems requiring --rpath.
75 - no longer rely on custom paths on win32 platforms.
76 - try to work around buggy PAGESIZE macro on solaris.
77
784.53 Tue Aug 14 11:27:50 CEST 2018
79 - add $Config{libs} to LIBS for configure, to work around systems
80 with broken library dependencies (... openbsd).
81
824.52 Sun Aug 12 08:09:45 CEST 2018
83 - config.h.in was missing in distribution.
84
854.51 Sun Aug 12 07:24:14 CEST 2018
86 - complete rework of the autoconf framework: IO::AIO now uses its own
87 config.h, separate from libeio, and tries to test the actual perl
88 environment, not the standard system environment.
89 - provide nanosecond-accracy stat time accessors for both perl and IO::AIO
90 stat functions.
91 - removed non-portable C++ syntax from eio.c.
92 - try to fix readdir tests on cygwin spuriously failing.
93
944.5 Wed Aug 1 00:23:55 CEST 2018
95 - aio_mtouch touch all pages as requested, not just the first page in most cases.
96 - new function: IO::AIO::mremap, linux-specific mremap, with constants MREMAP_MAYMOVE
97 and MREMAP_FIXED.
98 - add O_ACCMODE.
99 - add (undocumented) MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC and SOCK_CLOEXEC constants.
100
1014.4 Tue Feb 20 07:54:12 CET 2018
102 - new aio_slurp request.
103 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::eventfd and timerfd* function.
104 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::get_fdlimit and IO::AIO::min_fdlimit.
105 - point out that aio_copy overwrites existing files.
106 - removed filesystem magic number table from aio_statvfs docs as
107 statvfs doesn't actually return this info at all (statfs does).
108 - add a bunch of (mostly linux-specific) constants for use in ioctls
109 (see aio_ioctl docs).
110 - treescan now has a proper manpage and useful --help output.
111 - new option --sync in treescan, to sync everything in a subtree.
112 - changed default for aio_msync flags to MSYNC_SYNC.
113 - document offset/length behaviour of mprotect/madvise.
114 - support linux's renameat2 (via aio_rename2).
115 - add aio_rename2, an aio_rename with flags.
116 - add F_DUPPFD_CLOEXEC, F_OFD_[SG]ETLKW? constants.
117 - add FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE, FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE_RANGE.
118 - (libeio) use posix_close if available.
119 - (libeio) internal close() calls no longer disturb errno.
120 - add IO:AIO::FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE.
121 - update schmorp.h for removal of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
122 and better eventfd detection.
123
1244.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
125 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
126 compile errors on various platforms.
127 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
128 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
129 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
130 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
131 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
132 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
133
1344.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
135 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
136 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
137 constants.
138 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
139 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK
140 consdtants, whether they can be sensibly used or not.
141 - use NO_INIT where applicable.
142 - update libecb.
143 - added stability canary support.
144 - updated linux super magic table to 4.3.3.
145
1464.32 Wed Feb 11 20:32:11 CET 2015
147 - replace off_t by STRLEN where appropriate, should not result in
148 user-visible changes.
149 - update ecb.h for C11 compatibility.
150
1514.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
152 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
153
1544.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
155 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
156 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
157 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
158 compatibility - I will never understand.
159
1604.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
161 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
162 the stack after req_submit.
163 - be more careful on (e.g. permission) errors in bin/treescan.
164 - work around changes in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
165 - (libeio) implement aio_realpath for win32.
166 - (xthread) work around compile time bugs in ptw32.

168 - (libecb) insignificant update.
169
1704.19 Sun Jan 6 12:47:26 CET 2013
171 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
172 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]
173 and call rename/rmdir instead of renameat/unlinkat.
174
1754.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
176 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
177
1784.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
13 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation. 179 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
14 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs. 180 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
15 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation. 181 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.

183 as per unix spec.
