42
43 - add MADV_FREE constant.
44
454.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
46 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
47 compile errors on various platforms.
48 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
49 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
50 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
51 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
52 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
53 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
54
554.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
56 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
57 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
58 constants.
59 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
60 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK
61 consdtants, whether they can be sensibly used or not.
62 - use NO_INIT where applicable.
63 - update libecb.
64 - added stability canary support.
65 - updated linux super magic table to 4.3.3.
66
674.32 Wed Feb 11 20:32:11 CET 2015
68 - replace off_t by STRLEN where appropriate, should not result in
69 user-visible changes.
70 - update ecb.h for C11 compatibility.
71
724.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
73 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
74
754.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
76 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
77 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
78 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
79 compatibility - I will never understand.
80
814.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
82 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
83 the stack after req_submit.
84 - be more careful on (e.g. permission) errors in bin/treescan.
85 - work around changes in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
86 - (libeio) implement aio_realpath for win32.
87 - (xthread) work around compile time bugs in ptw32.
88 - added IO::AIO::pipesize.
89 - (libecb) insignificant update.
90
914.19 Sun Jan 6 12:47:26 CET 2013
92 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
93 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]

95
964.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012

100 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
101 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
102 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
103 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
104 as per unix spec.
105
1064.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
107 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
108 it to malfunction for paths.
109 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
110 extents.
111 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
112 trash fiemap input arguments.
113 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
114 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
115 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
116 truncates segment count if a file.
117 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
118 to quick overview.
119 - splice can corrupt data.
120 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
121 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
122 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.

124
1254.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
126 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
127 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
128 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
129 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
130 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
131 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
132
1334.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
134 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
135 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
136 - new request aio_seek.
137 - new request aio_fiemap.
138 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
139
1404.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
141 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
142 instead of -1.
143 - port to c89.
144
1454.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
146 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
147
1484.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
149 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
150 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
151 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
152 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
153 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
154 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
155 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
156 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
157 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
158 in aio_scandir and treescan.
159 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
160 - added --progress switch to treescan.
161
1624.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
163 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
164 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
165 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
166 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
167 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
168 a timeout occured at the same time.
169 - (libeio) added realpath.
170 - (libeio) added fallocate.
171 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
172 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
173 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
174
1753.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
176 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
177
1783.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
179 - ecb.h was missing.
180
1813.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
182 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
183 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
184 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
185 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
186 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
187 transferred...)
188 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
189 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
190 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
191 pthread and fork in perl.
192 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
193 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
194 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
195 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
196
1973.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
198 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
199 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
200 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
201 flags.
202
2033.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
204 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
205 - support a max_idle value of 0.
206 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
207
2083.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
209 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
210 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
211 - new treescan option: --grep.
212 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
213
2143.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
215 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
216 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
217 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
218 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
219 funcitonality. ugh.
220
2213.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
222 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
223 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
224 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
225 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
226 (openbsd 4.8).
227 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
228 had string-data.
24 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-documented 229 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
25 them. 230 them.
231 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
232 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
233 user-errors better.
234 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
26 235
273.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010 2363.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
28 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not 237 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
29 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by 238 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
30 Rasmus Andersson). 239 Rasmus Andersson).
