39
40 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
41 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
42

44 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
45 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
46 constants.
47 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
48 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK
49 consdtants, whether they can be sensibly used or not.

54
554.32 Wed Feb 11 20:32:11 CET 2015

57 user-visible changes.
58 - update ecb.h for C11 compatibility.
59
604.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
61 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
62
634.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
64 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
65 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
66 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
67 compatibility - I will never understand.
68
694.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
70 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
71 the stack after req_submit.

78
794.19 Sun Jan 6 12:47:26 CET 2013
80 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
81 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]

83
844.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
85 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
86

88 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
89 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
90 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
91 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
92 as per unix spec.
93
944.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
95 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
96 it to malfunction for paths.
97 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
98 extents.
99 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
100 trash fiemap input arguments.
101 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
102 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
103 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
104 truncates segment count if a file.
105 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
106 to quick overview.

108 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
109 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
110 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.

112
1134.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
114 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
115 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
116 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
117 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
118 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
119 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
120
1214.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
122 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
123 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
124 - new request aio_seek.
125 - new request aio_fiemap.
126 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
127
1284.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
129 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
130 instead of -1.
131 - port to c89.
132
1334.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
134 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
135
1364.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
137 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
138 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
139 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
140 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
141 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
142 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
143 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
144 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
145 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
146 in aio_scandir and treescan.
147 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
148 - added --progress switch to treescan.
149
1504.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
151 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
152 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
153 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
154 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
155 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
156 a timeout occured at the same time.
157 - (libeio) added realpath.
158 - (libeio) added fallocate.
159 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
160 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
161 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
162
1633.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
164 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
165
1663.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
167 - ecb.h was missing.
168
1693.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
170 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
171 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
172 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
173 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
174 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
175 transferred...)
176 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
177 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
178 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
179 pthread and fork in perl.
180 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
181 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
182 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
183 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
184
1853.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
186 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
187 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
188 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
189 flags.
190
1913.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
192 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
193 - support a max_idle value of 0.
194 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
195
1963.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
197 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
198 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
199 - new treescan option: --grep.
200 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
201
2023.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
203 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
204 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
205 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
206 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
207 funcitonality. ugh.
208
2093.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
210 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
211 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
212 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
213 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
214 (openbsd 4.8).
215 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
216 had string-data.
217 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
218 them.
219 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
220 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
221 user-errors better.
222 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
223
2243.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
225 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
226 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
227 Rasmus Andersson).
228 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
229 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
230 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
231 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
232 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
233
2343.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
11 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - it should now 235 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
12 be correct according to the manpage, but it seems to be broken by 236 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
13 design, failing to account some bytes sometimes. 237 kernel sources.
238 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
239 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
240 - clean up manpage.
14 241
153.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010 2423.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
16 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu). 243 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
17 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug. 244 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
18 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs. 245 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
