42 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
43 constants.
44 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
45 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK

51
524.32 Wed Feb 11 20:32:11 CET 2015

58 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
59
604.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
61 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
62 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
63 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
64 compatibility - I will never understand.
65
664.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
67 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
68 the stack after req_submit.

70 - work around changes in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
71 - (libeio) implement aio_realpath for win32.
72 - (xthread) work around compile time bugs in ptw32.
73 - added IO::AIO::pipesize.
74 - (libecb) insignificant update.
75
764.19 Sun Jan 6 12:47:26 CET 2013
77 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
78 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]
79 and call rename/rmdir instead of renameat/unlinkat.
80
814.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
82 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
83
844.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
85 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
86 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
87 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
88 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
89 as per unix spec.
90
914.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
92 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
93 it to malfunction for paths.
94 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
95 extents.
96 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
97 trash fiemap input arguments.
98 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
99 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
100 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
101 truncates segment count if a file.
102 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
103 to quick overview.
104 - splice can corrupt data.
105 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
106 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
107 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.
108 - provide pread/pwrite for win32, making it link again on native win32.
109
1104.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
111 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
112 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
113 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
114 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
115 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
116 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
117
1184.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
119 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
120 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
121 - new request aio_seek.
122 - new request aio_fiemap.
123 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
124
1254.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
126 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
127 instead of -1.
128 - port to c89.
129
1304.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
131 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
132
1334.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
134 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
135 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
136 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
137 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
138 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
139 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
140 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
141 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
142 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
143 in aio_scandir and treescan.
144 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
145 - added --progress switch to treescan.
146
1474.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
148 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
149 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
150 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
151 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
152 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
153 a timeout occured at the same time.
154 - (libeio) added realpath.
155 - (libeio) added fallocate.
156 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
157 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
158 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
159
1603.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
161 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
162
1633.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
164 - ecb.h was missing.
165
1663.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
167 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
168 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
169 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
170 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
171 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
172 transferred...)
173 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
174 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
175 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
176 pthread and fork in perl.
177 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
178 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
179 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
180 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
181
1823.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
183 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
184 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
185 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
186 flags.
187
1883.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
189 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
190 - support a max_idle value of 0.
191 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
192
1933.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
194 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
195 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
196 - new treescan option: --grep.
197 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
198
1993.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
200 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
201 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
202 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
203 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
204 funcitonality. ugh.
205
2063.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
207 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
208 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
209 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
210 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
211 (openbsd 4.8).
212 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
213 had string-data.
214 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
215 them.
216 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
217 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
218 user-errors better.
219 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
220
2213.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
222 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
223 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
224 Rasmus Andersson).
225 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
226 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
227 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
228 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
229 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
230
2313.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
232 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
233 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
234 kernel sources.
235 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
236 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
237 - clean up manpage.
238
2393.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
240 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
241 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
242 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
243 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
244 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
245 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
246
2473.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
248 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
249 - clarify cancel_subs description.
250 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
251 from the sendfile call.
252 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
253 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
254
2553.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
256 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
257 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
258 hash lookups.
259
2603.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
261 - use common::sense.
262 - use common schmorp.h header.
263 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
264 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
265 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
266
2673.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
268 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
269
2703.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
271 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
272 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
273 way. might help other os's too.
274
2753.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
276 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
277 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
278 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
279 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
280 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
281 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
282 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
283 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
284 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
285 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
286 but should not have been.
287 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
288 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
289
2903.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
291 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
292 rushed 3.22 release.
293
2943.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
295 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
296 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
297
2983.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
299 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
300 - install bin/treescan by default.
301 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
302 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
303 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
304 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
305 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
306 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
307 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
308
3093.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
310 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
311 not restore the file offset.
312 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
313 the names in various ways.
314 - unfortunately, utime, chmod, chown on an open file that has just
315 been written can easily block, which caused aio_copy to block the
316 process. no more!
317 - no longer rely on dst path in aio_copy when futime is available.
318
3193.19 Tue Apr 21 22:05:21 CEST 2009
320 - more perl 5.10 workarounds for aio_read and write.
321 - aio_write no longer modifies the sv (if possible).
322 - aio_read now works correctly with magic values.
323
3243.18 Sun Apr 19 21:17:32 CEST 2009
325 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh.
326 - try to avoid crashes due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. grmbl.
327
3283.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008
329 - (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested).
330 - add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ.
331
3323.16 Wed Oct 22 18:28:01 CEST 2008
333 - use SvREFCNT_inc instead of SvREFCNT_inc_NN in a non-speed critical
334 part to improve portability to perl 5.8 (reported by szymon).
8 335
93.15 Mon Oct 13 00:39:55 CEST 2008 3363.15 Mon Oct 13 00:39:55 CEST 2008
10 - automatic removal of feeders was broken. 337 - automatic removal of feeders was broken.
11 - (libeio) use a more robust method to detect whether a feeder 338 - (libeio) use a more robust method to detect whether a feeder
12 has added something to the group or not. 339 has added something to the group or not.
