56
574.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
58 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
59 compile errors on various platforms.
60 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
61 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
62 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
63 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
64 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
65 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
66
674.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
68 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
69 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
70 constants.
71 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
72 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK

844.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
85 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
86
874.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
88 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
89 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
90 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
91 compatibility - I will never understand.
92
934.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
94 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
95 the stack after req_submit.
96 - be more careful on (e.g. permission) errors in bin/treescan.
97 - work around changes in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
98 - (libeio) implement aio_realpath for win32.

107
1084.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012

112 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
113 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
114 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
115 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
116 as per unix spec.
117
1184.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
119 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
120 it to malfunction for paths.
121 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
122 extents.
123 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
124 trash fiemap input arguments.
125 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
126 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
127 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
128 truncates segment count if a file.
129 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
130 to quick overview.
131 - splice can corrupt data.
132 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
133 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
134 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.

136
1374.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
138 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
139 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
140 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
141 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
142 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
143 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
144
1454.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
146 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
147 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
148 - new request aio_seek.
149 - new request aio_fiemap.
150 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
151
1524.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
153 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
154 instead of -1.
155 - port to c89.
156
1574.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
158 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
159
1604.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
161 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
162 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
163 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
164 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
165 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
166 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
167 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
168 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
169 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
170 in aio_scandir and treescan.
171 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
172 - added --progress switch to treescan.
173
1744.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
175 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
176 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
177 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
178 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
179 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
180 a timeout occured at the same time.
181 - (libeio) added realpath.
182 - (libeio) added fallocate.
183 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
184 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
185 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
186
1873.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
188 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
189
1903.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
191 - ecb.h was missing.
192
1933.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
194 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
195 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
196 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
197 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
198 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
199 transferred...)
200 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
201 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
202 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
203 pthread and fork in perl.
204 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
205 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
206 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
207 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
208
2093.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
210 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
211 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
212 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
213 flags.
214
2153.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
216 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
217 - support a max_idle value of 0.
218 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
219
2203.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
221 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
222 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
223 - new treescan option: --grep.
224 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
225
2263.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
227 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
228 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
229 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
230 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
231 funcitonality. ugh.
232
2333.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
234 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
235 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
236 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
237 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
238 (openbsd 4.8).
239 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
240 had string-data.
241 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
242 them.
243 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
244 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
245 user-errors better.
246 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
247
2483.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
249 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
250 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
251 Rasmus Andersson).
252 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
253 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
254 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
255 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
256 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
257
2583.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
259 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
260 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
261 kernel sources.

269 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
270 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
271 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
272 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
273
2743.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
275 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
276 - clarify cancel_subs description.
277 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
278 from the sendfile call.
279 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
280 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
281
2823.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
283 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
