40TODO: aio_fcntl/ioctl test.
41
424.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
43 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
44 compile errors on various platforms.
45 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
46 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
47 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
48 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
49 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
50 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
51
524.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
53 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
54 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
55 constants.
56 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
57 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK
58 consdtants, whether they can be sensibly used or not.
59 - use NO_INIT where applicable.
60 - update libecb.
61 - added stability canary support.
62 - updated linux super magic table to 4.3.3.
63
644.32 Wed Feb 11 20:32:11 CET 2015

66 user-visible changes.
67 - update ecb.h for C11 compatibility.
68
694.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
70 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
71
724.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
73 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
74 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
75 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
76 compatibility - I will never understand.
77
784.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
79 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
80 the stack after req_submit.
81 - be more careful on (e.g. permission) errors in bin/treescan.
82 - work around changes in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
83 - (libeio) implement aio_realpath for win32.
84 - (xthread) work around compile time bugs in ptw32.
85 - added IO::AIO::pipesize.
86 - (libecb) insignificant update.
87
884.19 Sun Jan 6 12:47:26 CET 2013
89 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
90 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]

97 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
98 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
99 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
100 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
101 as per unix spec.
102
1034.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
104 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
105 it to malfunction for paths.
106 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
107 extents.
108 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
109 trash fiemap input arguments.
110 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
111 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
112 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
113 truncates segment count if a file.
114 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
115 to quick overview.
116 - splice can corrupt data.
117 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
118 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
119 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.
120 - provide pread/pwrite for win32, making it link again on native win32.
121
1224.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
123 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
124 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
125 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
126 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
127 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
128 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
129
1304.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
131 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
132 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
133 - new request aio_seek.
134 - new request aio_fiemap.
135 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
136
1374.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
138 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
139 instead of -1.
140 - port to c89.
141
1424.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
143 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
144
1454.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
146 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
147 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
148 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
149 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
150 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
151 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
152 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
153 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
154 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
155 in aio_scandir and treescan.
156 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
157 - added --progress switch to treescan.
158
1594.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
160 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
161 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
162 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
163 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
164 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
165 a timeout occured at the same time.
166 - (libeio) added realpath.
167 - (libeio) added fallocate.
168 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
169 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
170 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
171
1723.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
173 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
174
1753.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
176 - ecb.h was missing.
177
1783.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
179 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
180 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
181 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
182 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
183 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
184 transferred...)
185 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
186 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
187 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
188 pthread and fork in perl.
189 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
190 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
191 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
192 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
193
1943.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
195 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
196 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
197 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
198 flags.
199
2003.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
201 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
202 - support a max_idle value of 0.
203 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
204
2053.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
206 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
207 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
208 - new treescan option: --grep.
209 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
210
2113.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
212 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
213 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
214 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
215 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
216 funcitonality. ugh.
217
2183.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
219 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
220 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
221 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
222 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
223 (openbsd 4.8).
224 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
225 had string-data.
226 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
227 them.
228 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
229 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
230 user-errors better.
231 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
232
2333.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
234 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
235 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
236 Rasmus Andersson).
237 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
238 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
239 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
240 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
241 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
242
2433.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
244 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
245 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
246 kernel sources.
247 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
248 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
249 - clean up manpage.
250
2513.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
252 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
253 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
254 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
255 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
256 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
257 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
258
2593.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
260 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
261 - clarify cancel_subs description.
262 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
263 from the sendfile call.
264 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
265 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
266
2673.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
268 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
269 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
270 hash lookups.
271
2723.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
273 - use common::sense.
274 - use common schmorp.h header.
275 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
276 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
277 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
278
2793.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
280 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
281
2823.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
283 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
284 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
285 way. might help other os's too.
286
2873.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
288 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
289 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
290 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
291 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
292 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
293 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
294 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
295 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
296 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
297 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
298 but should not have been.
299 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
300 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
301
3023.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
303 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
304 rushed 3.22 release.
305
3063.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
307 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
308 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
309
3103.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
311 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
312 - install bin/treescan by default.
313 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
314 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
315 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
316 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
317 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
318 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
319 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
320
3213.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
322 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
323 not restore the file offset.
324 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
325 the names in various ways.
326 - unfortunately, utime, chmod, chown on an open file that has just
327 been written can easily block, which caused aio_copy to block the
328 process. no more!
329 - no longer rely on dst path in aio_copy when futime is available.
330
3313.19 Tue Apr 21 22:05:21 CEST 2009
332 - more perl 5.10 workarounds for aio_read and write.
333 - aio_write no longer modifies the sv (if possible).
334 - aio_read now works correctly with magic values.
335
3363.18 Sun Apr 19 21:17:32 CEST 2009
337 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh.
338 - try to avoid crashes due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. grmbl.
339
3403.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008
341 - (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested).
342 - add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ.
343
3443.16 Wed Oct 22 18:28:01 CEST 2008
345 - use SvREFCNT_inc instead of SvREFCNT_inc_NN in a non-speed critical
346 part to improve portability to perl 5.8 (reported by szymon).
347
3483.15 Mon Oct 13 00:39:55 CEST 2008
349 - automatic removal of feeders was broken.
350 - (libeio) use a more robust method to detect whether a feeder
351 has added something to the group or not.
352
3533.1 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
354 - pre-deref the passed callback object, for increased speed
355 and decreased memory usage.
356 - call on_next_submit callback even for aio_group - impact unknown,
357 but seems more correct.
358 - $req->cb now returns the original callback.
359 - (libeio) pass EIO_GROUP/aio_group requests through the queue without
360 requiring a thread switch.
361 - (libeio) status code of aio_futime and aio_utime was always passed 0.
362 - do some other ยต-optimisations.
363
3643.07 Sat Aug 2 16:06:13 CEST 2008
365 - do not include LIBS in autoconf tests.
366
3673.06 Tue Jul 15 12:41:32 CEST 2008
368 - move preadwritelock definition before it's first reference,
369 to make it compile again on broken platforms (they still exist)
370 or badly cofngiured perls (redhat...), reported by Rob Bloodgood.
371
3723.05 Thu Jun 19 23:23:52 CEST 2008
373 - work around perl overriding readdir etc. with thread-unsafe
374 (sic!) versions.
375
3763.04 Wed Jun 18 01:35:38 CEST 2008
377 - (libeio) fix eio_mknod, which confused it's arguments.
378 - (libeio) do not use readdir_r, as Ulrich Drepper pointed out that this
379 is stupid.
380 - (libeio) fix eio__readahead prototype, patch by Jost Krieger.
381 - (libeio) fix a bug that could potentially cause IO::AIO
382 not to get initialised properly.
383
3843.03 Thu May 29 05:33:30 CEST 2008
385 - (libeio) correctly call pthread_attr_destroy ().
386 - (libeio) work around broken bsd headers once more.
387 - reduce shared library size again by not including wrappers.
388 - max_outstanding could cause poll to enter a busy-waiting loop.
389 - document the new IO::AIO::poll_cb result value.
390
3913.02 Mon May 12 02:32:02 CEST 2008
392 - fix a memory leak on aio_readlink.
393 - bring back working fchmod.
394 - nop and busy now set result to 0.
395 - set errno to ENOMEM when allocation fails.
396
3973.01 Sun May 11 03:07:03 CEST 2008
398 - (libeio) make it compile on systems without readahead or readdir_r.
399 - (libeio) improve configure check for readahead availability.
400 - do not try to link against -lrt.
401 - use a separate configure script for IO::AIO (not the libeio one).
402
4033.0 Sun May 11 00:57:14 CEST 2008
404 - added bin/treescan to the distribution.
405 - switched to using libeio.
406 - LOTS OF INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
407 - remove signal functionality, it is not worth the effort.
408 - max_outstanding no longer returns the previous number of requests.
409 - poll_cb no longer returns number of requests.
