12TODO: MS_xxx, posix_fadvise, posix_madvise 494.73 Fri Dec 4 02:08:37 CET 2020
13TODO: realpath 50 - def0.h was not uptodate, running into musl problems
51 (reported by B Fraser).
52 - IO::AIO::splice and IO::AIO::tee didn't properly return
53 64 bit values.
54 - added IO::AIO::accept4.
55 - add various F_SEAL related fcntl constants.
56 - removed experimental marker for fdlimit functions.
57 - fiemap now includes the last segment even if it overflows
58 the end offset, which is arguably the correct behaviour.
59
604.72 Wed Apr 3 04:56:03 CEST 2019
61 - (libeio) if fd 0 is available do not use it for aio_wd, as it
62 collides with IO::AIO::CWD.
63 - added IO::AIO::memfd_create.
64 - correctly include <sys/uio.h> in the vmsplice test.
65 - reduce codesize by ~7% on amd64 by declaring more functions
66 as noinline.
67 - documentation fixes and updates.
68 - experimental and undocumented preliminary support for synchronous statx.
69
704.71 Sun Mar 10 13:09:26 CET 2019
71 - due to an error in the linux manpages, the configure tests
72 for readahead, sync_file_range, splice etc. failed. This has been fixed.
73
744.7 Mon Mar 4 11:28:13 CET 2019
75 - majorly speed up scandir for the very special case of a non-POSIX
76 filesystem that nevertheless reports valid dt_type information.
77 The only known filesystem of this type is currently btrfs, which
78 didn't get it's act together to implement POSIX semantics in all
79 these years, and I am tired of waiting.
80 - add IO::AIO::MCL_ONFAULT for mlockall, add IO::AIO::mlockall.
81 - neither sys/mkdev.h nor sys/sysmacros.h were included, even when they
82 were detected by autoconf.
83
844.6 Sat Aug 25 21:58:36 CEST 2018
85 - add st_btime, st_btimesec, st_btimensec and st_gen accessors,
86 mostly for bsds which expose birthtime and st_gen members (netbsd, freebsd
87 but only st_gen on openbsd because they compiled their perl without support
88 for birthtimes).
89 - fix madvise and munlock to properly support negative offsets.
90 - allocate fd for the aio_close at boot time, to guarantee it working
91 later, rather than calling abort when it fails. also avoids
92 close-on-exec race issues after module load.
93 - #undef utime on win32, maybe this helps some reports of utime hangs.
94 - minor doc improvements.
95 - minor configure cleanups.
96 - use $Config{perllibs} instead of libs for configure. might help people
97 who didn't install all perl dependencies (might break things as well).
98
994.54 Tue Aug 14 13:54:48 CEST 2018
100 - include sys/mkdev.h or sys/sysmacros.h if available.
101 - further tweaks to configure invocation for systems requiring --rpath.
102 - no longer rely on custom paths on win32 platforms.
103 - try to work around buggy PAGESIZE macro on solaris.
104
1054.53 Tue Aug 14 11:27:50 CEST 2018
106 - add $Config{libs} to LIBS for configure, to work around systems
107 with broken library dependencies (... openbsd).
108
1094.52 Sun Aug 12 08:09:45 CEST 2018
110 - config.h.in was missing in distribution.
111
1124.51 Sun Aug 12 07:24:14 CEST 2018
113 - complete rework of the autoconf framework: IO::AIO now uses its own
114 config.h, separate from libeio, and tries to test the actual perl
115 environment, not the standard system environment.
116 - provide nanosecond-accracy stat time accessors for both perl and IO::AIO
117 stat functions.
118 - removed non-portable C++ syntax from eio.c.
119 - try to fix readdir tests on cygwin spuriously failing.
120
1214.5 Wed Aug 1 00:23:55 CEST 2018
122 - aio_mtouch touch all pages as requested, not just the first page in most cases.
123 - new function: IO::AIO::mremap, linux-specific mremap, with constants MREMAP_MAYMOVE
124 and MREMAP_FIXED.
125 - add O_ACCMODE.
126 - add (undocumented) MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC and SOCK_CLOEXEC constants.
127
1284.4 Tue Feb 20 07:54:12 CET 2018
129 - new aio_slurp request.
130 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::eventfd and timerfd* function.
131 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::get_fdlimit and IO::AIO::min_fdlimit.
132 - point out that aio_copy overwrites existing files.
133 - removed filesystem magic number table from aio_statvfs docs as
134 statvfs doesn't actually return this info at all (statfs does).
135 - add a bunch of (mostly linux-specific) constants for use in ioctls
136 (see aio_ioctl docs).
137 - treescan now has a proper manpage and useful --help output.
138 - new option --sync in treescan, to sync everything in a subtree.
139 - changed default for aio_msync flags to MSYNC_SYNC.
140 - document offset/length behaviour of mprotect/madvise.
141 - support linux's renameat2 (via aio_rename2).
142 - add aio_rename2, an aio_rename with flags.
143 - add F_DUPPFD_CLOEXEC, F_OFD_[SG]ETLKW? constants.
144 - add FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE, FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE_RANGE.
145 - (libeio) use posix_close if available.
146 - (libeio) internal close() calls no longer disturb errno.
147 - add IO:AIO::FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE.
148 - update schmorp.h for removal of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
149 and better eventfd detection.
150
1514.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
152 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
153 compile errors on various platforms.
154 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
155 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
156 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
157 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
158 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
159 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
160
1614.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
162 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
163 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
164 constants.
165 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
166 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK
167 consdtants, whether they can be sensibly used or not.
168 - use NO_INIT where applicable.
169 - update libecb.
170 - added stability canary support.
171 - updated linux super magic table to 4.3.3.
172
1734.32 Wed Feb 11 20:32:11 CET 2015
174 - replace off_t by STRLEN where appropriate, should not result in
175 user-visible changes.
176 - update ecb.h for C11 compatibility.
177
1784.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
179 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
180
1814.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
182 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
183 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
184 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
185 compatibility - I will never understand.
186
1874.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
188 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
189 the stack after req_submit.

198 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
199 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]
200 and call rename/rmdir instead of renameat/unlinkat.
201
2024.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
203 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
204
2054.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
206 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
207 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
208 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
209 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
210 as per unix spec.
211
2124.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
213 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
214 it to malfunction for paths.
215 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
216 extents.
217 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
218 trash fiemap input arguments.
219 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
220 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
221 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
222 truncates segment count if a file.
223 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
224 to quick overview.
225 - splice can corrupt data.

230
2314.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
232 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
233 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
234 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
235 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
236 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
237 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
238
2394.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
240 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.

264 in aio_scandir and treescan.
265 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
266 - added --progress switch to treescan.
267
