46
474.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
48 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
49 compile errors on various platforms.
50 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
51 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
52 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
53 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
54 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
55 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
56
574.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
58 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
59 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
60 constants.
61 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
62 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK
63 consdtants, whether they can be sensibly used or not.
64 - use NO_INIT where applicable.
65 - update libecb.
66 - added stability canary support.
67 - updated linux super magic table to 4.3.3.
68
694.32 Wed Feb 11 20:32:11 CET 2015
70 - replace off_t by STRLEN where appropriate, should not result in

75 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
76
774.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
78 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
79 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
80 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
81 compatibility - I will never understand.
82
834.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
84 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
85 the stack after req_submit.

87 - work around changes in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
88 - (libeio) implement aio_realpath for win32.
89 - (xthread) work around compile time bugs in ptw32.
90 - added IO::AIO::pipesize.
91 - (libecb) insignificant update.
92

95 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]
96 and call rename/rmdir instead of renameat/unlinkat.
97
984.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
99 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
100

102 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
103 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
104 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
105 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
106 as per unix spec.
107
1084.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
109 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
110 it to malfunction for paths.
111 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
112 extents.
113 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
114 trash fiemap input arguments.
115 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
116 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
117 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
118 truncates segment count if a file.
119 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
120 to quick overview.
121 - splice can corrupt data.
122 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
123 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.

128 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
129 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
130 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
131 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
132 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
133 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
134
1354.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012

141

14 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories. 154 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
15 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber. 155 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
156 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
157 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
158 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
159 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
160 in aio_scandir and treescan.
161 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
162 - added --progress switch to treescan.
