134.19 Sun Jan 6 12:47:26 CET 2013
14 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
15 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]
16 and call rename/rmdir instead of renameat/unlinkat.
17
184.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
19 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
20
214.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
22 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
23 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
24 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
25 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
26 as per unix spec.
27
284.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
29 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
30 it to malfunction for paths.
31 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
32 extents.
33 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
34 trash fiemap input arguments.
35 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
36 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
37 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
38 truncates segment count if a file.
39 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
40 to quick overview.
41 - splice can corrupt data.
42 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
43 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
44 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.
45 - provide pread/pwrite for win32, making it link again on native win32.
46
474.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
48 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
49 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
50 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
51 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
52 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
53 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
54
554.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
56 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
57 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
58 - new request aio_seek.
59 - new request aio_fiemap.
60 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
61
624.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
63 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
64 instead of -1.
65 - port to c89.
66
674.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
68 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
69
704.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
71 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
72 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
73 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
74 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
75 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
76 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
77 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
78 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
79 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
80 in aio_scandir and treescan.
81 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
82 - added --progress switch to treescan.
83
844.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
85 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
86 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
87 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
88 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
89 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
90 a timeout occured at the same time.
91 - (libeio) added realpath.
92 - (libeio) added fallocate.
93 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
94 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
95 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
96
973.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
98 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
99
1003.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
101 - ecb.h was missing.
102
1033.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
104 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
105 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
106 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
107 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
108 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
109 transferred...)
110 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
111 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
112 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
113 pthread and fork in perl.
114 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
115 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
116 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
117 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
118
1193.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
120 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
121 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
122 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
123 flags.
124
1253.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
126 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
127 - support a max_idle value of 0.
128 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
129
1303.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
131 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
132 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
133 - new treescan option: --grep.
134 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
135
1363.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
137 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
138 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
139 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
140 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
141 funcitonality. ugh.
142
1433.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
144 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
145 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
146 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
147 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
148 (openbsd 4.8).
149 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
150 had string-data.
151 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
152 them.
153 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
154 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
155 user-errors better.
156 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
157
1583.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
159 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
160 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
161 Rasmus Andersson).
162 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
163 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
164 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
165 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
166 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
167
1683.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
169 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
170 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
171 kernel sources.
172 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
173 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
174 - clean up manpage.
175
1763.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
177 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
178 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
179 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
180 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
181 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
182 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
183
1843.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
185 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
186 - clarify cancel_subs description.
187 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
188 from the sendfile call.
189 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
190 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
191
1923.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
193 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
194 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
195 hash lookups.
196
1973.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
198 - use common::sense.
199 - use common schmorp.h header.
200 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
201 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
202 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
203
2043.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
205 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
206
2073.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
208 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
209 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
210 way. might help other os's too.
211
2123.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
213 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
214 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
215 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
216 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
217 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
218 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
219 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
220 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
221 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
222 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
223 but should not have been.
224 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
225 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
226
2273.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
228 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
229 rushed 3.22 release.
230
2313.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
232 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
233 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
234
2353.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
236 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
237 - install bin/treescan by default.
238 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
239 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
240 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
241 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
242 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
243 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
244 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
245
2463.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
247 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
248 not restore the file offset.
249 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
250 the names in various ways.
251 - unfortunately, utime, chmod, chown on an open file that has just
252 been written can easily block, which caused aio_copy to block the
253 process. no more!
254 - no longer rely on dst path in aio_copy when futime is available.
255
2563.19 Tue Apr 21 22:05:21 CEST 2009
257 - more perl 5.10 workarounds for aio_read and write.
258 - aio_write no longer modifies the sv (if possible).
259 - aio_read now works correctly with magic values.
260
2613.18 Sun Apr 19 21:17:32 CEST 2009
262 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh.
263 - try to avoid crashes due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. grmbl.
264
2653.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008
266 - (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested).
267 - add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ.
268
2693.16 Wed Oct 22 18:28:01 CEST 2008
270 - use SvREFCNT_inc instead of SvREFCNT_inc_NN in a non-speed critical
271 part to improve portability to perl 5.8 (reported by szymon).
272
2733.15 Mon Oct 13 00:39:55 CEST 2008
274 - automatic removal of feeders was broken.
275 - (libeio) use a more robust method to detect whether a feeder
276 has added something to the group or not.
277
2783.1 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
279 - pre-deref the passed callback object, for increased speed
280 and decreased memory usage.
281 - call on_next_submit callback even for aio_group - impact unknown,
282 but seems more correct.
283 - $req->cb now returns the original callback.
284 - (libeio) pass EIO_GROUP/aio_group requests through the queue without
285 requiring a thread switch.
286 - (libeio) status code of aio_futime and aio_utime was always passed 0.
287 - do some other ยต-optimisations.
288
2893.07 Sat Aug 2 16:06:13 CEST 2008
290 - do not include LIBS in autoconf tests.
291
2923.06 Tue Jul 15 12:41:32 CEST 2008
293 - move preadwritelock definition before it's first reference,
294 to make it compile again on broken platforms (they still exist)
295 or badly cofngiured perls (redhat...), reported by Rob Bloodgood.
296
2973.05 Thu Jun 19 23:23:52 CEST 2008
298 - work around perl overriding readdir etc. with thread-unsafe
299 (sic!) versions.
300
3013.04 Wed Jun 18 01:35:38 CEST 2008
302 - (libeio) fix eio_mknod, which confused it's arguments.
9 - (libeio) do not use readdir_r, as Ulrich Drepper pointed out that this 303 - (libeio) do not use readdir_r, as Ulrich Drepper pointed out that this
10 is stupid. 304 is stupid.
305 - (libeio) fix eio__readahead prototype, patch by Jost Krieger.
306 - (libeio) fix a bug that could potentially cause IO::AIO
307 not to get initialised properly.
11 308
123.03 Thu May 29 05:33:30 CEST 2008 3093.03 Thu May 29 05:33:30 CEST 2008
13 - (libeio) correctly call pthread_attr_destroy (). 310 - (libeio) correctly call pthread_attr_destroy ().
14 - (libeio) work around broken bsd headers once more. 311 - (libeio) work around broken bsd headers once more.
15 - reduce shared library size again by not including wrappers. 312 - reduce shared library size again by not including wrappers.
