514.80 Sat 01 Apr 2023 04:13:37 CEST
52 - remove long obsolete "paths must be absolute" text in aio_open/stat
53 descriptions.
54 - another workaround for the low-quality musl libc.
55 - test for umount seperately, as it is more portable.
56 - some low-quality posix attempts (openbsd, osx) declare the availability
57 of fexecve but then don't even bother to implemnent a stub.
58
594.79 Sun 25 Sep 2022 18:25:53 CEST
60 - the autoconf result of the mount check was not used, so it failed to
61 compile on most systems (reported by crackoff@tutanota.com).
62 - work around fedora not having a working C compiler setup by design
63 (reported by Paul Howarth).
64
654.78 Tue 06 Sep 2022 12:54:43 CEST
66 - add IO::AIO::mount and IO::AIO::umount.
67 - add a bunch of symbols from sys/mount.h.
68
694.77 Mon 05 Sep 2022 02:03:38 CEST
70 - add MFD_HUGETLB_2MB and MFD_HUGETLB_1GB constants.
71 - add fexecve.
72 - add lots of missing functions to @EXPORT_OK.
73
744.76 Tue Jul 27 20:45:01 CEST 2021
75 - add autoconf test for siginfo_t, which is, of course, not
76 available on windows (reported by Peter Petky).
77 - disable syscalls on solaris, as perl seems to provide an
78 incompatible syscall prototype that clashes with sys/syscall.h.
79 - add MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE, MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE, MAP_SYNC and
80 MAP_UNINITIALIZED.
81
824.75 Wed Dec 30 08:44:55 CET 2020
83 - removed leftover debug output from treescan.
84 - added (but not documented) waitid-P_*, FSPICK_*, FSOPEN_*,
85 FSCONFIG_*, MOUNT_ATTR_* constants.
86
874.74 Tue Dec 29 16:19:28 CET 2020
88 - added pidfd_open, pidfd_getfd and pidfd_send_signal functions.
89 - rework bin/treescan to avoid recursion. This fixes two bugs
90 where a deep directory traversal or a lot of command line
91 arguments could cause it to crash.
92 - added (but not documented) open_tree, AT_* and move_mount flags.
93 - support defining syscall numbers in gendef0.
94
954.73 Fri Dec 4 02:08:37 CET 2020
96 - def0.h was not uptodate, running into musl problems
97 (reported by B Fraser).
98 - IO::AIO::splice and IO::AIO::tee didn't properly return
99 64 bit values.
100 - added IO::AIO::accept4.
101 - add various F_SEAL related fcntl constants.
102 - removed experimental marker for fdlimit functions.
103 - fiemap now includes the last segment even if it overflows
104 the end offset, which is arguably the correct behaviour.
105
1064.72 Wed Apr 3 04:56:03 CEST 2019
107 - (libeio) if fd 0 is available do not use it for aio_wd, as it
108 collides with IO::AIO::CWD.
109 - added IO::AIO::memfd_create.
110 - correctly include <sys/uio.h> in the vmsplice test.
111 - reduce codesize by ~7% on amd64 by declaring more functions
112 as noinline.
113 - documentation fixes and updates.
114 - experimental and undocumented preliminary support for synchronous statx.
115
1164.71 Sun Mar 10 13:09:26 CET 2019
117 - due to an error in the linux manpages, the configure tests
118 for readahead, sync_file_range, splice etc. failed. This has been fixed.
119
1204.7 Mon Mar 4 11:28:13 CET 2019
121 - majorly speed up scandir for the very special case of a non-POSIX
122 filesystem that nevertheless reports valid dt_type information.
123 The only known filesystem of this type is currently btrfs, which
124 didn't get it's act together to implement POSIX semantics in all
125 these years, and I am tired of waiting.
126 - add IO::AIO::MCL_ONFAULT for mlockall, add IO::AIO::mlockall.
127 - neither sys/mkdev.h nor sys/sysmacros.h were included, even when they
128 were detected by autoconf.
129
1304.6 Sat Aug 25 21:58:36 CEST 2018
131 - add st_btime, st_btimesec, st_btimensec and st_gen accessors,
132 mostly for bsds which expose birthtime and st_gen members (netbsd, freebsd
133 but only st_gen on openbsd because they compiled their perl without support
134 for birthtimes).
135 - fix madvise and munlock to properly support negative offsets.
136 - allocate fd for the aio_close at boot time, to guarantee it working
137 later, rather than calling abort when it fails. also avoids
138 close-on-exec race issues after module load.
139 - #undef utime on win32, maybe this helps some reports of utime hangs.
140 - minor doc improvements.
141 - minor configure cleanups.
142 - use $Config{perllibs} instead of libs for configure. might help people
143 who didn't install all perl dependencies (might break things as well).
144
1454.54 Tue Aug 14 13:54:48 CEST 2018
146 - include sys/mkdev.h or sys/sysmacros.h if available.
147 - further tweaks to configure invocation for systems requiring --rpath.
148 - no longer rely on custom paths on win32 platforms.
149 - try to work around buggy PAGESIZE macro on solaris.
150
1514.53 Tue Aug 14 11:27:50 CEST 2018
152 - add $Config{libs} to LIBS for configure, to work around systems
153 with broken library dependencies (... openbsd).
154
1554.52 Sun Aug 12 08:09:45 CEST 2018
156 - config.h.in was missing in distribution.
157
1584.51 Sun Aug 12 07:24:14 CEST 2018
159 - complete rework of the autoconf framework: IO::AIO now uses its own
160 config.h, separate from libeio, and tries to test the actual perl
161 environment, not the standard system environment.
162 - provide nanosecond-accracy stat time accessors for both perl and IO::AIO
163 stat functions.
164 - removed non-portable C++ syntax from eio.c.
165 - try to fix readdir tests on cygwin spuriously failing.
166
1674.5 Wed Aug 1 00:23:55 CEST 2018
168 - aio_mtouch touch all pages as requested, not just the first page in most cases.
169 - new function: IO::AIO::mremap, linux-specific mremap, with constants MREMAP_MAYMOVE
170 and MREMAP_FIXED.
171 - add O_ACCMODE.
172 - add (undocumented) MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC and SOCK_CLOEXEC constants.
173
1744.4 Tue Feb 20 07:54:12 CET 2018
175 - new aio_slurp request.
176 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::eventfd and timerfd* function.
177 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::get_fdlimit and IO::AIO::min_fdlimit.
178 - point out that aio_copy overwrites existing files.
179 - removed filesystem magic number table from aio_statvfs docs as
180 statvfs doesn't actually return this info at all (statfs does).
181 - add a bunch of (mostly linux-specific) constants for use in ioctls
182 (see aio_ioctl docs).
183 - treescan now has a proper manpage and useful --help output.
184 - new option --sync in treescan, to sync everything in a subtree.
185 - changed default for aio_msync flags to MSYNC_SYNC.
186 - document offset/length behaviour of mprotect/madvise.
187 - support linux's renameat2 (via aio_rename2).
188 - add aio_rename2, an aio_rename with flags.
189 - add F_DUPPFD_CLOEXEC, F_OFD_[SG]ETLKW? constants.
190 - add FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE, FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE_RANGE.
191 - (libeio) use posix_close if available.
192 - (libeio) internal close() calls no longer disturb errno.
193 - add IO:AIO::FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE.
194 - update schmorp.h for removal of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
195 and better eventfd detection.
196
1974.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
198 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
199 compile errors on various platforms.
200 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
201 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
202 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
203 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
204 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
205 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
206
2074.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
208 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
209 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
210 constants.
211 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
212 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK
213 consdtants, whether they can be sensibly used or not.
214 - use NO_INIT where applicable.
215 - update libecb.
216 - added stability canary support.
217 - updated linux super magic table to 4.3.3.
218
2194.32 Wed Feb 11 20:32:11 CET 2015
220 - replace off_t by STRLEN where appropriate, should not result in
221 user-visible changes.
222 - update ecb.h for C11 compatibility.
223
2244.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
225 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
226
2274.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
228 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
229 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
230 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
231 compatibility - I will never understand.
232
2334.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
234 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
235 the stack after req_submit.

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

244 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
245 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]
246 and call rename/rmdir instead of renameat/unlinkat.
247
2484.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
249 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
250
2514.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
252 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
253 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
254 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
255 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
256 as per unix spec.
257
2584.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
259 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
260 it to malfunction for paths.
261 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
262 extents.
263 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
264 trash fiemap input arguments.
265 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
266 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
267 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
268 truncates segment count if a file.
269 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
270 to quick overview.

276
2774.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
278 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
279 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
280 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
281 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
282 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
283 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
284
2854.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
286 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
