13 50
14TODO: remove fork support, eio_init can be called multiple times maybe 51 - disable syscalls on solaris, as perl seems to provide an
15TODO: "this might change" 52 incompatible syscall prototype that clashes with sys/syscall.h.
53 - add MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE, MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE, MAP_SYNC and
54 MAP_UNINITIALIZED.
55
564.75 Wed Dec 30 08:44:55 CET 2020
57 - removed leftover debug output from treescan.
58 - added (but not documented) waitid-P_*, FSPICK_*, FSOPEN_*,
59 FSCONFIG_*, MOUNT_ATTR_* constants.
60
614.74 Tue Dec 29 16:19:28 CET 2020
62 - added pidfd_open, pidfd_getfd and pidfd_send_signal functions.
63 - rework bin/treescan to avoid recursion. This fixes two bugs
64 where a deep directory traversal or a lot of command line
65 arguments could cause it to crash.
66 - added (but not documented) open_tree, AT_* and move_mount flags.
67 - support defining syscall numbers in gendef0.
68
694.73 Fri Dec 4 02:08:37 CET 2020
70 - def0.h was not uptodate, running into musl problems
71 (reported by B Fraser).
72 - IO::AIO::splice and IO::AIO::tee didn't properly return
73 64 bit values.
74 - added IO::AIO::accept4.
75 - add various F_SEAL related fcntl constants.
76 - removed experimental marker for fdlimit functions.
77 - fiemap now includes the last segment even if it overflows
78 the end offset, which is arguably the correct behaviour.
79
804.72 Wed Apr 3 04:56:03 CEST 2019
81 - (libeio) if fd 0 is available do not use it for aio_wd, as it
82 collides with IO::AIO::CWD.
83 - added IO::AIO::memfd_create.
84 - correctly include <sys/uio.h> in the vmsplice test.
85 - reduce codesize by ~7% on amd64 by declaring more functions
86 as noinline.
87 - documentation fixes and updates.
88 - experimental and undocumented preliminary support for synchronous statx.
89
904.71 Sun Mar 10 13:09:26 CET 2019
91 - due to an error in the linux manpages, the configure tests
92 for readahead, sync_file_range, splice etc. failed. This has been fixed.
93
944.7 Mon Mar 4 11:28:13 CET 2019
95 - majorly speed up scandir for the very special case of a non-POSIX
96 filesystem that nevertheless reports valid dt_type information.
97 The only known filesystem of this type is currently btrfs, which
98 didn't get it's act together to implement POSIX semantics in all
99 these years, and I am tired of waiting.
100 - add IO::AIO::MCL_ONFAULT for mlockall, add IO::AIO::mlockall.
101 - neither sys/mkdev.h nor sys/sysmacros.h were included, even when they
102 were detected by autoconf.
103
1044.6 Sat Aug 25 21:58:36 CEST 2018
105 - add st_btime, st_btimesec, st_btimensec and st_gen accessors,
106 mostly for bsds which expose birthtime and st_gen members (netbsd, freebsd
107 but only st_gen on openbsd because they compiled their perl without support
108 for birthtimes).
109 - fix madvise and munlock to properly support negative offsets.
110 - allocate fd for the aio_close at boot time, to guarantee it working
111 later, rather than calling abort when it fails. also avoids
112 close-on-exec race issues after module load.
113 - #undef utime on win32, maybe this helps some reports of utime hangs.
114 - minor doc improvements.
115 - minor configure cleanups.
116 - use $Config{perllibs} instead of libs for configure. might help people
117 who didn't install all perl dependencies (might break things as well).
118
1194.54 Tue Aug 14 13:54:48 CEST 2018
120 - include sys/mkdev.h or sys/sysmacros.h if available.
121 - further tweaks to configure invocation for systems requiring --rpath.
122 - no longer rely on custom paths on win32 platforms.
123 - try to work around buggy PAGESIZE macro on solaris.
124
1254.53 Tue Aug 14 11:27:50 CEST 2018
126 - add $Config{libs} to LIBS for configure, to work around systems
127 with broken library dependencies (... openbsd).
128
1294.52 Sun Aug 12 08:09:45 CEST 2018
130 - config.h.in was missing in distribution.
131
1324.51 Sun Aug 12 07:24:14 CEST 2018
133 - complete rework of the autoconf framework: IO::AIO now uses its own
134 config.h, separate from libeio, and tries to test the actual perl
135 environment, not the standard system environment.
136 - provide nanosecond-accracy stat time accessors for both perl and IO::AIO
137 stat functions.
138 - removed non-portable C++ syntax from eio.c.
139 - try to fix readdir tests on cygwin spuriously failing.
140
1414.5 Wed Aug 1 00:23:55 CEST 2018
142 - aio_mtouch touch all pages as requested, not just the first page in most cases.
143 - new function: IO::AIO::mremap, linux-specific mremap, with constants MREMAP_MAYMOVE
144 and MREMAP_FIXED.
145 - add O_ACCMODE.
146 - add (undocumented) MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC and SOCK_CLOEXEC constants.
147
1484.4 Tue Feb 20 07:54:12 CET 2018
149 - new aio_slurp request.
150 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::eventfd and timerfd* function.
151 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::get_fdlimit and IO::AIO::min_fdlimit.
152 - point out that aio_copy overwrites existing files.
153 - removed filesystem magic number table from aio_statvfs docs as
154 statvfs doesn't actually return this info at all (statfs does).
155 - add a bunch of (mostly linux-specific) constants for use in ioctls
156 (see aio_ioctl docs).
157 - treescan now has a proper manpage and useful --help output.
158 - new option --sync in treescan, to sync everything in a subtree.
159 - changed default for aio_msync flags to MSYNC_SYNC.
160 - document offset/length behaviour of mprotect/madvise.
161 - support linux's renameat2 (via aio_rename2).
162 - add aio_rename2, an aio_rename with flags.
163 - add F_DUPPFD_CLOEXEC, F_OFD_[SG]ETLKW? constants.
164 - add FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE, FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE_RANGE.
165 - (libeio) use posix_close if available.
166 - (libeio) internal close() calls no longer disturb errno.
167 - add IO:AIO::FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE.
168 - update schmorp.h for removal of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
169 and better eventfd detection.
170
1714.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
172 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
173 compile errors on various platforms.
174 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
175 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
176 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
177 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
178 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
179 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
180
1814.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
182 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
183 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
184 constants.
185 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
186 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK
187 consdtants, whether they can be sensibly used or not.
188 - use NO_INIT where applicable.
189 - update libecb.
190 - added stability canary support.
191 - updated linux super magic table to 4.3.3.
192
1934.32 Wed Feb 11 20:32:11 CET 2015
194 - replace off_t by STRLEN where appropriate, should not result in
195 user-visible changes.
196 - update ecb.h for C11 compatibility.
197
1984.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
199 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
200
2014.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
202 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
203 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
204 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
205 compatibility - I will never understand.
206
2074.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
208 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
209 the stack after req_submit.

218 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
219 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]
220 and call rename/rmdir instead of renameat/unlinkat.

2224.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
223 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
224
2254.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
226 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
227 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.

230 as per unix spec.
231
2324.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
233 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
234 it to malfunction for paths.
235 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
236 extents.
237 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might

241 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
242 truncates segment count if a file.

252 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
253 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
254 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
255 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
256 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
257 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
258
2594.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
260 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
