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.
