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.
