11 12
13 - (libeio) implement aio_realpath for win32.
14 - (xthread) work around compile time bugs in ptw32.
15
164.19 Sun Jan 6 12:47:26 CET 2013
17 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
18 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]
19 and call rename/rmdir instead of renameat/unlinkat.
20
214.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
22 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
23
244.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
25 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
26 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
27 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
28 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
29 as per unix spec.
30
314.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
32 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
33 it to malfunction for paths.
34 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
35 extents.
36 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
37 trash fiemap input arguments.
38 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
39 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
40 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
41 truncates segment count if a file.
42 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
43 to quick overview.
44 - splice can corrupt data.
45 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
46 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
47 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.
48 - provide pread/pwrite for win32, making it link again on native win32.
49
504.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
51 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
52 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
53 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
54 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
55 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
56 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
57
584.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
59 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
60 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
61 - new request aio_seek.
62 - new request aio_fiemap.
63 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
64
654.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
66 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
67 instead of -1.
68 - port to c89.
69
704.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
71 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
72
734.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
74 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
75 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
76 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
77 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
78 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
79 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
80 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
81 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
82 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
83 in aio_scandir and treescan.
84 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
85 - added --progress switch to treescan.
86
874.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
88 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
89 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
90 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
91 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
92 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
93 a timeout occured at the same time.
94 - (libeio) added realpath.
95 - (libeio) added fallocate.
96 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
97 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
98 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
99
1003.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
101 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
102
1033.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
104 - ecb.h was missing.
105
1063.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
107 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
108 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
109 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
110 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
111 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
112 transferred...)
113 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
114 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
115 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
116 pthread and fork in perl.
117 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
118 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
119 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
120 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
121
1223.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
123 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
124 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
125 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
126 flags.
127
1283.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
129 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
130 - support a max_idle value of 0.
131 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
132
1333.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
134 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
135 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
136 - new treescan option: --grep.
137 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
138
1393.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
140 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
141 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
142 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
143 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
144 funcitonality. ugh.
145
1463.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
147 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
148 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
149 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
150 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
151 (openbsd 4.8).
152 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
153 had string-data.
12 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-documented 154 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
13 them. 155 them.
156 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
157 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
158 user-errors better.
159 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
14 160
153.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010 1613.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
16 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not 162 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
17 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by 163 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
18 Rasmus Andersson). 164 Rasmus Andersson).
