8 12
13 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]
14 and call rename/rmdir instead of renameat/unlinkat.
15
164.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
17 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
18
194.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
20 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
21 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
22 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
23 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
24 as per unix spec.
25
264.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
27 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
28 it to malfunction for paths.
29 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
30 extents.
31 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
32 trash fiemap input arguments.
33 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
34 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
35 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
36 truncates segment count if a file.
37 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
38 to quick overview.
39 - splice can corrupt data.
40 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
41 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
42 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.
43 - provide pread/pwrite for win32, making it link again on native win32.
44
454.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
46 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
47 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
48 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
49 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
50 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
51 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
52
534.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
54 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
55 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
56 - new request aio_seek.
57 - new request aio_fiemap.
58 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
59
604.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
61 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
62 instead of -1.
63 - port to c89.
64
654.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
66 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
67
684.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
69 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
70 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
71 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
72 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
73 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
74 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
75 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
76 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
77 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
78 in aio_scandir and treescan.
79 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
80 - added --progress switch to treescan.
81
824.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
83 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
84 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
85 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
86 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
87 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
88 a timeout occured at the same time.
89 - (libeio) added realpath.
90 - (libeio) added fallocate.
91 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
92 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
93 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
94
953.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
96 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
97
983.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
99 - ecb.h was missing.
100
1013.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
102 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
103 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
104 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
105 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
106 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
107 transferred...)
108 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
109 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
110 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
111 pthread and fork in perl.
112 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
113 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
114 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
115 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
116
1173.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
118 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
119 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
120 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
121 flags.
122
1233.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
124 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
125 - support a max_idle value of 0.
126 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
127
1283.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
129 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
130 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
131 - new treescan option: --grep.
132 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
133
1343.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
135 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
136 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
137 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
138 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
139 funcitonality. ugh.
140
1413.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
142 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
143 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
144 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
145 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
146 (openbsd 4.8).
147 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
148 had string-data.
149 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
150 them.
151 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
152 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
153 user-errors better.
154 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
155
1563.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
157 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
158 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
159 Rasmus Andersson).
160 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
161 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
162 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
163 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
164 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
165
1663.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
167 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
168 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
169 kernel sources.
170 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
171 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
172 - clean up manpage.
173
1743.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
175 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
176 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
177 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
178 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
179 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
180 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
181
1823.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
183 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
184 - clarify cancel_subs description.
185 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
186 from the sendfile call.
187 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
188 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
189
1903.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
191 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
192 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
193 hash lookups.
194
1953.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
196 - use common::sense.
197 - use common schmorp.h header.
198 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
199 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
200 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
201
2023.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
203 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
204
2053.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
206 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
207 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
208 way. might help other os's too.
209
2103.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
211 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
212 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
213 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
214 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
215 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
216 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
217 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
218 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
219 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
220 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
221 but should not have been.
222 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
223 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
224
2253.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
226 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
227 rushed 3.22 release.
228
2293.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
230 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
231 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
232
2333.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
234 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
235 - install bin/treescan by default.
236 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
237 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
238 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
239 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
240 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
241 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
242 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
243
2443.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
245 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
246 not restore the file offset.
247 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
248 the names in various ways.
249 - unfortunately, utime, chmod, chown on an open file that has just
250 been written can easily block, which caused aio_copy to block the
251 process. no more!
252 - no longer rely on dst path in aio_copy when futime is available.
253
2543.19 Tue Apr 21 22:05:21 CEST 2009
255 - more perl 5.10 workarounds for aio_read and write.
256 - aio_write no longer modifies the sv (if possible).
257 - aio_read now works correctly with magic values.
258
2593.18 Sun Apr 19 21:17:32 CEST 2009
260 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh.
261 - try to avoid crashes due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. grmbl.
262
2633.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008
264 - (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested).
265 - add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ.
266
2673.16 Wed Oct 22 18:28:01 CEST 2008
268 - use SvREFCNT_inc instead of SvREFCNT_inc_NN in a non-speed critical
269 part to improve portability to perl 5.8 (reported by szymon).
270
2713.15 Mon Oct 13 00:39:55 CEST 2008
9 - automatic removal of feeders was broken. 272 - automatic removal of feeders was broken.
10 - (libeio) use a more robust method to detect whether a feeder 273 - (libeio) use a more robust method to detect whether a feeder
11 has added something to the group or not. 274 has added something to the group or not.
