254.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
26 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
27
284.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
29 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
30 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
31 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
32 compatibility - I will never understand.
33
344.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
35 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
36 the stack after req_submit.
37 - be more careful on (e.g. permission) errors in bin/treescan.
38 - work around changes in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
39 - (libeio) implement aio_realpath for win32.
40 - (xthread) work around compile time bugs in ptw32.
41 - added IO::AIO::pipesize.
42 - (libecb) insignificant update.
43
444.19 Sun Jan 6 12:47:26 CET 2013
45 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
46 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]
47 and call rename/rmdir instead of renameat/unlinkat.
48
494.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
50 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
51
524.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
53 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
54 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
55 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
56 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
57 as per unix spec.
58
594.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
60 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
61 it to malfunction for paths.
62 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
63 extents.
64 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
65 trash fiemap input arguments.
66 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
67 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
68 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
69 truncates segment count if a file.
70 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
71 to quick overview.
72 - splice can corrupt data.
73 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
74 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
75 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.
76 - provide pread/pwrite for win32, making it link again on native win32.
77
784.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
79 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
80 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
81 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
82 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
83 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
84 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
85
864.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
87 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
88 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
89 - new request aio_seek.
90 - new request aio_fiemap.
91 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
92
934.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
94 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
95 instead of -1.
96 - port to c89.
97
984.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
99 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
100
1014.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
102 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
103 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
104 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
105 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
106 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
107 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
108 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
109 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
110 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
111 in aio_scandir and treescan.
112 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
113 - added --progress switch to treescan.
114
1154.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
116 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
117 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
118 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
119 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
120 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
121 a timeout occured at the same time.
122 - (libeio) added realpath.
123 - (libeio) added fallocate.
124 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
125 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
126 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
127
1283.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
129 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
130
1313.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
132 - ecb.h was missing.
133
1343.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
135 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
136 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
137 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
138 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
139 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
140 transferred...)
141 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
142 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
143 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
144 pthread and fork in perl.
145 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
146 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
147 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
148 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
149
1503.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
151 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
152 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
153 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
154 flags.
155
1563.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
157 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
158 - support a max_idle value of 0.
159 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
160
1613.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
162 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
163 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
164 - new treescan option: --grep.
165 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
166
1673.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
168 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
169 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
170 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
171 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
172 funcitonality. ugh.
173
1743.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
175 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
176 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
177 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
178 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
179 (openbsd 4.8).
180 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
181 had string-data.
182 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
183 them.
184 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
185 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
186 user-errors better.
187 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
188
1893.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
190 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
191 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
192 Rasmus Andersson).
193 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
194 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
195 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
196 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
197 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
198
1993.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
200 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
201 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
202 kernel sources.
203 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
204 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
205 - clean up manpage.
206
2073.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010

209 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
210 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
211 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
212 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
213 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
214
2153.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
216 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
217 - clarify cancel_subs description.
218 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
219 from the sendfile call.
220 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
221 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
222
2233.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
224 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
