49
50 - work around a bug in musl w.r.t to O_SEARCH and use EIO_O_PATH instead,
51 vertifying the semantics against the subset of O_PATH and O_SEARCH
52 (based on a report by Steve Dondley).
53 - aio_copy now tries to preallocate the destination file.
54 - fexecve configure test used the wrong pĆ¼ointer type (patch by Paul Howarth).
55
564.80 Sat 01 Apr 2023 04:13:37 CEST
57 - remove long obsolete "paths must be absolute" text in aio_open/stat
58 descriptions.
59 - another workaround for the low-quality musl libc.
60 - test for umount seperately, as it is more portable.
61 - some low-quality posix attempts (openbsd, osx) declare the availability
62 of fexecve but then don't even bother to implemnent a stub.
63
644.79 Sun 25 Sep 2022 18:25:53 CEST
65 - the autoconf result of the mount check was not used, so it failed to
66 compile on most systems (reported by crackoff@tutanota.com).
67 - work around fedora not having a working C compiler setup by design
68 (reported by Paul Howarth).
69
704.78 Tue 06 Sep 2022 12:54:43 CEST
71 - add IO::AIO::mount and IO::AIO::umount.
72 - add a bunch of symbols from sys/mount.h.
73
744.77 Mon 05 Sep 2022 02:03:38 CEST
75 - add MFD_HUGETLB_2MB and MFD_HUGETLB_1GB constants.
76 - add fexecve.
77 - add lots of missing functions to @EXPORT_OK.
78
794.76 Tue Jul 27 20:45:01 CEST 2021
80 - add autoconf test for siginfo_t, which is, of course, not
81 available on windows (reported by Peter Petky).
82 - disable syscalls on solaris, as perl seems to provide an
83 incompatible syscall prototype that clashes with sys/syscall.h.
84 - add MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE, MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE, MAP_SYNC and
85 MAP_UNINITIALIZED.
86
874.75 Wed Dec 30 08:44:55 CET 2020
88 - removed leftover debug output from treescan.
89 - added (but not documented) waitid-P_*, FSPICK_*, FSOPEN_*,
90 FSCONFIG_*, MOUNT_ATTR_* constants.
91
924.74 Tue Dec 29 16:19:28 CET 2020
93 - added pidfd_open, pidfd_getfd and pidfd_send_signal functions.
94 - rework bin/treescan to avoid recursion. This fixes two bugs
95 where a deep directory traversal or a lot of command line
96 arguments could cause it to crash.
97 - added (but not documented) open_tree, AT_* and move_mount flags.
98 - support defining syscall numbers in gendef0.
99
1004.73 Fri Dec 4 02:08:37 CET 2020
101 - def0.h was not uptodate, running into musl problems
102 (reported by B Fraser).
103 - IO::AIO::splice and IO::AIO::tee didn't properly return
104 64 bit values.
105 - added IO::AIO::accept4.
106 - add various F_SEAL related fcntl constants.
107 - removed experimental marker for fdlimit functions.
108 - fiemap now includes the last segment even if it overflows
109 the end offset, which is arguably the correct behaviour.
110
1114.72 Wed Apr 3 04:56:03 CEST 2019
112 - (libeio) if fd 0 is available do not use it for aio_wd, as it
113 collides with IO::AIO::CWD.
114 - added IO::AIO::memfd_create.
115 - correctly include <sys/uio.h> in the vmsplice test.
116 - reduce codesize by ~7% on amd64 by declaring more functions
117 as noinline.
118 - documentation fixes and updates.
119 - experimental and undocumented preliminary support for synchronous statx.
120
1214.71 Sun Mar 10 13:09:26 CET 2019
122 - due to an error in the linux manpages, the configure tests
123 for readahead, sync_file_range, splice etc. failed. This has been fixed.
124
1254.7 Mon Mar 4 11:28:13 CET 2019
126 - majorly speed up scandir for the very special case of a non-POSIX
127 filesystem that nevertheless reports valid dt_type information.
128 The only known filesystem of this type is currently btrfs, which
129 didn't get it's act together to implement POSIX semantics in all
130 these years, and I am tired of waiting.
131 - add IO::AIO::MCL_ONFAULT for mlockall, add IO::AIO::mlockall.
132 - neither sys/mkdev.h nor sys/sysmacros.h were included, even when they
133 were detected by autoconf.
134
1354.6 Sat Aug 25 21:58:36 CEST 2018
136 - add st_btime, st_btimesec, st_btimensec and st_gen accessors,
137 mostly for bsds which expose birthtime and st_gen members (netbsd, freebsd
138 but only st_gen on openbsd because they compiled their perl without support
139 for birthtimes).
140 - fix madvise and munlock to properly support negative offsets.
141 - allocate fd for the aio_close at boot time, to guarantee it working
142 later, rather than calling abort when it fails. also avoids
143 close-on-exec race issues after module load.
144 - #undef utime on win32, maybe this helps some reports of utime hangs.
145 - minor doc improvements.
146 - minor configure cleanups.
147 - use $Config{perllibs} instead of libs for configure. might help people
148 who didn't install all perl dependencies (might break things as well).
149
1504.54 Tue Aug 14 13:54:48 CEST 2018
151 - include sys/mkdev.h or sys/sysmacros.h if available.
152 - further tweaks to configure invocation for systems requiring --rpath.
153 - no longer rely on custom paths on win32 platforms.
154 - try to work around buggy PAGESIZE macro on solaris.
155
1564.53 Tue Aug 14 11:27:50 CEST 2018
157 - add $Config{libs} to LIBS for configure, to work around systems
158 with broken library dependencies (... openbsd).
159
1604.52 Sun Aug 12 08:09:45 CEST 2018
161 - config.h.in was missing in distribution.
162
1634.51 Sun Aug 12 07:24:14 CEST 2018
164 - complete rework of the autoconf framework: IO::AIO now uses its own
165 config.h, separate from libeio, and tries to test the actual perl
166 environment, not the standard system environment.
167 - provide nanosecond-accracy stat time accessors for both perl and IO::AIO
168 stat functions.
169 - removed non-portable C++ syntax from eio.c.
170 - try to fix readdir tests on cygwin spuriously failing.
171
1724.5 Wed Aug 1 00:23:55 CEST 2018
173 - aio_mtouch touch all pages as requested, not just the first page in most cases.
174 - new function: IO::AIO::mremap, linux-specific mremap, with constants MREMAP_MAYMOVE
175 and MREMAP_FIXED.
176 - add O_ACCMODE.
177 - add (undocumented) MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC and SOCK_CLOEXEC constants.
178
1794.4 Tue Feb 20 07:54:12 CET 2018
180 - new aio_slurp request.
181 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::eventfd and timerfd* function.
182 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::get_fdlimit and IO::AIO::min_fdlimit.
183 - point out that aio_copy overwrites existing files.
184 - removed filesystem magic number table from aio_statvfs docs as
185 statvfs doesn't actually return this info at all (statfs does).
186 - add a bunch of (mostly linux-specific) constants for use in ioctls
187 (see aio_ioctl docs).
188 - treescan now has a proper manpage and useful --help output.
189 - new option --sync in treescan, to sync everything in a subtree.
190 - changed default for aio_msync flags to MSYNC_SYNC.
191 - document offset/length behaviour of mprotect/madvise.
192 - support linux's renameat2 (via aio_rename2).
193 - add aio_rename2, an aio_rename with flags.
194 - add F_DUPPFD_CLOEXEC, F_OFD_[SG]ETLKW? constants.
195 - add FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE, FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE_RANGE.
196 - (libeio) use posix_close if available.
197 - (libeio) internal close() calls no longer disturb errno.
198 - add IO:AIO::FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE.
199 - update schmorp.h for removal of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
200 and better eventfd detection.
201
2024.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
203 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
204 compile errors on various platforms.
205 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
206 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
207 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
208 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
209 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
210 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
211
2124.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
213 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
214 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
215 constants.
216 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
217 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK
218 consdtants, whether they can be sensibly used or not.
219 - use NO_INIT where applicable.
220 - update libecb.
221 - added stability canary support.
222 - updated linux super magic table to 4.3.3.
223
2244.32 Wed Feb 11 20:32:11 CET 2015
225 - replace off_t by STRLEN where appropriate, should not result in
226 user-visible changes.
227 - update ecb.h for C11 compatibility.
24 228
254.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014 2294.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
26 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass. 230 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
