47
484.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
49 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
50 compile errors on various platforms.
51 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
52 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
53 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
54 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
55 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
56 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
57

59 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
60 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
61 constants.
62 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
63 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK

69
704.32 Wed Feb 11 20:32:11 CET 2015

784.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
79 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
80 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
81 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
82 compatibility - I will never understand.
83
844.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
85 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore

104 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.

107 as per unix spec.
108
1094.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
110 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
111 it to malfunction for paths.
112 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
113 extents.
114 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
115 trash fiemap input arguments.
116 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
117 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
118 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
119 truncates segment count if a file.

121 to quick overview.
122 - splice can corrupt data.

129 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
130 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
131 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
132 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
133 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
134 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
135
1364.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012

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

166 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
167 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
168 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
