44
454.6 Sat Aug 25 21:58:36 CEST 2018
46 - add st_btime, st_btimesec, st_btimensec and st_gen accessors,
47 mostly for bsds which expose birthtime and st_gen members (netbsd, freebsd
48 but only st_gen on openbsd because they compiled their perl without support
49 for birthtimes).
50 - fix madvise and munlock to properly support negative offsets.
51 - allocate fd for the aio_close at boot time, to guarantee it working
52 later, rather than calling abort when it fails. also avoids
53 close-on-exec race issues after module load.
54 - #undef utime on win32, maybe this helps some reports of utime hangs.
55 - minor doc improvements.
56 - minor configure cleanups.
57 - use $Config{perllibs} instead of libs for configure. might help people
58 who didn'T install all perl dependencies (might break things as well).
59
604.54 Tue Aug 14 13:54:48 CEST 2018
61 - include sys/mkdev.h or sys/sysmacros.h if available.
62 - further tweaks to configure invocation for systems requiring --rpath.
63 - no longer rely on custom paths on win32 platforms.
64 - try to work around buggy PAGESIZE macro on solaris.
65
664.53 Tue Aug 14 11:27:50 CEST 2018
67 - add $Config{libs} to LIBS for configure, to work around systems
68 with broken library dependencies (... openbsd).
69
704.52 Sun Aug 12 08:09:45 CEST 2018
71 - config.h.in was missing in distribution.
72
734.51 Sun Aug 12 07:24:14 CEST 2018
74 - complete rework of the autoconf framework: IO::AIO now uses its own
75 config.h, separate from libeio, and tries to test the actual perl
76 environment, not the standard system environment.
77 - provide nanosecond-accracy stat time accessors for both perl and IO::AIO
78 stat functions.
79 - removed non-portable C++ syntax from eio.c.
80 - try to fix readdir tests on cygwin spuriously failing.
81
824.5 Wed Aug 1 00:23:55 CEST 2018
83 - aio_mtouch touch all pages as requested, not just the first page in most cases.
84 - new function: IO::AIO::mremap, linux-specific mremap, with constants MREMAP_MAYMOVE
85 and MREMAP_FIXED.
86 - add O_ACCMODE.
87 - add (undocumented) MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC and SOCK_CLOEXEC constants.
88
894.4 Tue Feb 20 07:54:12 CET 2018
90 - new aio_slurp request.
91 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::eventfd and timerfd* function.
92 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::get_fdlimit and IO::AIO::min_fdlimit.
93 - point out that aio_copy overwrites existing files.
94 - removed filesystem magic number table from aio_statvfs docs as
95 statvfs doesn't actually return this info at all (statfs does).
96 - add a bunch of (mostly linux-specific) constants for use in ioctls
97 (see aio_ioctl docs).
98 - treescan now has a proper manpage and useful --help output.
99 - new option --sync in treescan, to sync everything in a subtree.
100 - changed default for aio_msync flags to MSYNC_SYNC.
101 - document offset/length behaviour of mprotect/madvise.
102 - support linux's renameat2 (via aio_rename2).
103 - add aio_rename2, an aio_rename with flags.
104 - add F_DUPPFD_CLOEXEC, F_OFD_[SG]ETLKW? constants.
105 - add FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE, FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE_RANGE.

107 - (libeio) internal close() calls no longer disturb errno.
108 - add IO:AIO::FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE.

110 and better eventfd detection.
111
1124.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
113 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
114 compile errors on various platforms.
115 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
116 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
117 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
118 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
119 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
120 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
121
1224.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
123 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
124 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
125 constants.
126 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
127 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK
128 consdtants, whether they can be sensibly used or not.

133
1344.32 Wed Feb 11 20:32:11 CET 2015

138
1394.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
140 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
141
1424.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
143 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
144 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
145 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
146 compatibility - I will never understand.
147
1484.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
149 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
150 the stack after req_submit.
151 - be more careful on (e.g. permission) errors in bin/treescan.
152 - work around changes in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
153 - (libeio) implement aio_realpath for win32.
154 - (xthread) work around compile time bugs in ptw32.

159 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
160 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]
161 and call rename/rmdir instead of renameat/unlinkat.
162
1634.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
164 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
165
1664.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
167 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
168 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
169 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.

171 as per unix spec.
172
1734.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
174 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
175 it to malfunction for paths.
176 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
177 extents.
178 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
179 trash fiemap input arguments.
180 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
181 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
182 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
183 truncates segment count if a file.
184 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
185 to quick overview.

191
1924.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
193 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
194 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
195 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
196 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
197 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
198 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
199
2004.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
201 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
202 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
203 - new request aio_seek.
204 - new request aio_fiemap.
205 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
206
2074.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
208 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
209 instead of -1.
210 - port to c89.
211
2124.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011

219 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
220 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
221 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
222 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
223 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
224 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
225 in aio_scandir and treescan.
226 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
227 - added --progress switch to treescan.
228
2294.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
230 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
231 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
232 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
233 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
234 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
235 a timeout occured at the same time.

246 - ecb.h was missing.
247
2483.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
12 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other 249 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
13 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested 250 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
14 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic. 251 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
252 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
253 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
254 transferred...)
255 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
256 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
257 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
258 pthread and fork in perl.
259 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
260 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
261 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
262 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
