41
42 - neither sys/mkdev.h nor sys/sysmacros.h were included, even when they
43 were detected by autoconf.
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.
106 - (libeio) use posix_close if available.
107 - (libeio) internal close() calls no longer disturb errno.
108 - add IO:AIO::FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE.
109 - update schmorp.h for removal of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
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.
129 - use NO_INIT where applicable.
130 - update libecb.
131 - added stability canary support.
132 - updated linux super magic table to 4.3.3.
133
1344.32 Wed Feb 11 20:32:11 CET 2015
135 - replace off_t by STRLEN where appropriate, should not result in
136 user-visible changes.
137 - update ecb.h for C11 compatibility.
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.

152 - work around changes in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
153 - (libeio) implement aio_realpath for win32.

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

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.
12 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap 184 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
