3 | 1.3 Wed Aug 17 07:25:54 CEST 2005 |
|
|
4 | - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently |
|
|
5 | eating them. |
|
|
6 | - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback |
|
|
7 | invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes. |
|
|
8 | - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong |
|
|
9 | length after reading. |
|
|
10 | - fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests |
|
|
11 | from the parent. |
|
|
12 | - make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon |
|
|
13 | (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes. |
|
|
14 | - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write. |
|
|
15 | - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data |
|
|
16 | scalar for better error reporting. |
|
|

|
18 | 1.2 Wed Aug 17 01:22:58 CEST 2005 |
|
|
19 | - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris. |
|
|
20 | - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to |
|
|
21 | the external filename encoding first. |
|
|
22 | - fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again). |
|
|
23 | - clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away |
|
|
24 | with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS. |
|
|
25 | - fork'ing should now be officially supported (where linux and |
|
|
26 | posix contradict each other, I followed posix). |
|
|
27 | - only call read() once per poll, not twice (speedup). |
|
|
28 | - new functions: aio_rmdir, aio_symlink. |
|
|
29 | - force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better |
|
|
30 | error catching. |
|
|
31 | |
|
|
32 | 1.1 Sun Aug 7 05:27:23 CEST 2005 |
|
|
33 | - added configure script to detect availability of some calls. |
|
|
34 | (imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due to missing |
|
|
35 | feedback yet). |
|
|
36 | - emulate fdatasync via fsync, pread/pwrite via unsafe read/write |
|
|
37 | and readahead via manual reading on platforms lacking those. |
|
|
38 | - ported t/03_errors.t+framework by Brad Fitzpatrick |
|
|
39 | from Linux::AIO. |
|
|
40 | - removed XOPEN_SOURCE because stupid solaris 9 doesn't |
|
|
41 | compile with it enabled. Probably breaks others. Oh well. |
|
|
42 | - try to be more careful with errno on non-threaded perls. |
|
|
43 | - cygwins perl insisted on a matching open mode when morphing |
|
|
44 | the fd to an fh. |
|
|
45 | - convert sv's to "byte" encoding in aio_read/aio_write. Might |
|
|
46 | do that for pathnames, too, in the future, so make sure you |
|
|
47 | properly encode your pathnames. |
|
|
48 | |
|
|
49 | 1.0 Fri Jul 22 10:43:30 CEST 2005 |
|
|
50 | - aio_open did not reliably deliver (open) filehandles. |
|
|
51 | - all aio_*-functions keep a reference to the filehandle so |
|
|
52 | it doesn't go away while the aio requests is working on it. |
|
|
53 | - disable warnings in AIO.pm. |
|
|
54 | |
|
|
55 | 0.9 Wed Jul 20 23:55:04 CEST 2005 |
|
|
56 | - allow recursive calls to poll_cb, use less locking calls, too. |
|
|
57 | - fix the Gtk2-example in the SYNOPSIS. |
|
|
58 | - use pread/pwrite not pread64/pwrite64. this was simply a leftover |
|
|
59 | from Linux::AIO. |
|
|
60 | (found by compiling on cygwin. Unfortunately, cygwin declares but |
|
|
61 | does not implement pread/pwrite). |
|
|
62 | - only include <sys/syscall.h> on linux. |
|
|
63 | |
|
|
64 | 0.5 Tue Jul 12 13:03:09 CEST 2005 |
|
|
65 | - removed #include <endian.h>, it's not portable, and we don't |
|
|
66 | need it anyway. |
|
|
67 | - link against -lrt, as it might contain goodies such as fdatasync, |
|
|
68 | and often aio_read, which we do not use yet, but it shouldn't hurt. |
|
|
69 | |
|
|
70 | 0.4 Mon Jul 11 05:28:25 CEST 2005 |
|
|
71 | - added IO::AIO::flush, IO::AIO::poll. |
|
|
72 | - make callback argument optional for all calls. |
|
|
73 | |
|
|
74 | 0.3 Mon Jul 11 01:42:37 CEST 2005 |
| 3 | - restructured manpage. |
75 | - restructured manpage. |
|
|
76 | - added SYNOPSIS with examples for Event, Glib, Tk. |
|
|
77 | - remove explicit context support so I don't have to maintain |
|
|
78 | it for threaded perls (i.e. it should work now :). |
