50 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::get_fdlimit and IO::AIO::min_fdlimit.
51 - point out that aio_copy overwrites existing files.
52 - removed filesystem magic number table from aio_statvfs docs as
53 statvfs doesn't actually return this info at all (statfs does).
54 - add a bunch of (mostly linux-specific) constants for use in ioctls
55 (see aio_ioctl docs).
56 - treescan now has a proper manpage and useful --help output.

68 and better eventfd detection.
69
704.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
71 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
72 compile errors on various platforms.
73 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
74 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
75 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
76 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
77 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
78 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
79
804.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
81 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
82 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
83 constants.
84 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
85 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK

974.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
98 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
99
1004.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
101 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
102 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
103 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
104 compatibility - I will never understand.
105
1064.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
107 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
108 the stack after req_submit.
109 - be more careful on (e.g. permission) errors in bin/treescan.
110 - work around changes in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
111 - (libeio) implement aio_realpath for win32.
112 - (xthread) work around compile time bugs in ptw32.

120
1214.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
122 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
123
1244.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
125 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
126 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
127 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
128 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
129 as per unix spec.
130
1314.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
132 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
133 it to malfunction for paths.
134 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
135 extents.
136 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
137 trash fiemap input arguments.
138 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
139 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
140 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
141 truncates segment count if a file.
142 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
143 to quick overview.
144 - splice can corrupt data.
145 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
146 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.

148 - provide pread/pwrite for win32, making it link again on native win32.
149
1504.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
151 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
152 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
153 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
154 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
155 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
156 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
157
1584.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
159 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
160 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
161 - new request aio_seek.
162 - new request aio_fiemap.
163 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
164
1654.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
166 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
167 instead of -1.
168 - port to c89.
169
1704.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
171 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
172
1734.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
174 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
175 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
176 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
177 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
178 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
179 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
180 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
181 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
182 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
183 in aio_scandir and treescan.
184 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
185 - added --progress switch to treescan.
186
1874.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
188 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
189 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
190 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
191 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
192 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
193 a timeout occured at the same time.
194 - (libeio) added realpath.
195 - (libeio) added fallocate.
196 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
197 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.

199
2003.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
201 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
202
2033.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
204 - ecb.h was missing.
205
2063.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
207 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
208 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
209 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
210 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
211 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
212 transferred...)
213 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
214 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
215 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
216 pthread and fork in perl.
217 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
218 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
219 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
220 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
221
2223.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
223 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
224 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
225 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
226 flags.
227
2283.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
229 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
230 - support a max_idle value of 0.
231 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
232
2333.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
234 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
235 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
236 - new treescan option: --grep.
237 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
238
2393.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
240 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
241 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
242 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
243 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
244 funcitonality. ugh.
245
2463.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
247 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
248 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
249 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
250 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
251 (openbsd 4.8).
252 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
253 had string-data.
254 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
255 them.
256 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
257 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
258 user-errors better.
259 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
260
2613.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
262 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
263 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
264 Rasmus Andersson).
265 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
266 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
267 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
268 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
269 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
270
2713.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
272 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
273 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
274 kernel sources.
275 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
276 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
277 - clean up manpage.
278
2793.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
280 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
281 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
282 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
283 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
284 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
285 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
286
2873.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
288 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
289 - clarify cancel_subs description.
290 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
291 from the sendfile call.
292 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
293 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
294
2953.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
296 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
297 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
298 hash lookups.
299
3003.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
301 - use common::sense.
302 - use common schmorp.h header.
303 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
304 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
305 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
306
3073.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
308 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
309
3103.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
311 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
312 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
313 way. might help other os's too.
314
3153.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
316 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
317 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
318 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
319 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
320 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
321 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
322 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
323 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
324 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
325 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
326 but should not have been.
327 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
328 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
329
3303.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
331 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
332 rushed 3.22 release.
333
3343.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
335 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
336 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
337
3383.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
339 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
340 - install bin/treescan by default.
341 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
342 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
343 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
344 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
345 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
346 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
347 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
348
3493.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
350 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
351 not restore the file offset.
352 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
353 the names in various ways.
354 - unfortunately, utime, chmod, chown on an open file that has just
355 been written can easily block, which caused aio_copy to block the
356 process. no more!
357 - no longer rely on dst path in aio_copy when futime is available.
358
3593.19 Tue Apr 21 22:05:21 CEST 2009
360 - more perl 5.10 workarounds for aio_read and write.
361 - aio_write no longer modifies the sv (if possible).
362 - aio_read now works correctly with magic values.
363
3643.18 Sun Apr 19 21:17:32 CEST 2009
365 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh.
366 - try to avoid crashes due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. grmbl.
367
3683.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008
369 - (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested).
370 - add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ.
371
3723.16 Wed Oct 22 18:28:01 CEST 2008
373 - use SvREFCNT_inc instead of SvREFCNT_inc_NN in a non-speed critical
374 part to improve portability to perl 5.8 (reported by szymon).
375
3763.15 Mon Oct 13 00:39:55 CEST 2008
377 - automatic removal of feeders was broken.
378 - (libeio) use a more robust method to detect whether a feeder
379 has added something to the group or not.
380
3813.1 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
382 - pre-deref the passed callback object, for increased speed
383 and decreased memory usage.
384 - call on_next_submit callback even for aio_group - impact unknown,
385 but seems more correct.
386 - $req->cb now returns the original callback.
387 - (libeio) pass EIO_GROUP/aio_group requests through the queue without
388 requiring a thread switch.
389 - (libeio) status code of aio_futime and aio_utime was always passed 0.
390 - do some other ยต-optimisations.
391
3923.07 Sat Aug 2 16:06:13 CEST 2008
393 - do not include LIBS in autoconf tests.
394
3953.06 Tue Jul 15 12:41:32 CEST 2008
396 - move preadwritelock definition before it's first reference,
397 to make it compile again on broken platforms (they still exist)
398 or badly cofngiured perls (redhat...), reported by Rob Bloodgood.
399
4003.05 Thu Jun 19 23:23:52 CEST 2008
401 - work around perl overriding readdir etc. with thread-unsafe
402 (sic!) versions.
403
4043.04 Wed Jun 18 01:35:38 CEST 2008
405 - (libeio) fix eio_mknod, which confused it's arguments.
406 - (libeio) do not use readdir_r, as Ulrich Drepper pointed out that this
407 is stupid.
408 - (libeio) fix eio__readahead prototype, patch by Jost Krieger.
409 - (libeio) fix a bug that could potentially cause IO::AIO
410 not to get initialised properly.

4123.03 Thu May 29 05:33:30 CEST 2008
413 - (libeio) correctly call pthread_attr_destroy ().
414 - (libeio) work around broken bsd headers once more.
415 - reduce shared library size again by not including wrappers.
416 - max_outstanding could cause poll to enter a busy-waiting loop.
417 - document the new IO::AIO::poll_cb result value.
418
4193.02 Mon May 12 02:32:02 CEST 2008
420 - fix a memory leak on aio_readlink.
421 - bring back working fchmod.
422 - nop and busy now set result to 0.
423 - set errno to ENOMEM when allocation fails.
424
4253.01 Sun May 11 03:07:03 CEST 2008
426 - (libeio) make it compile on systems without readahead or readdir_r.
427 - (libeio) improve configure check for readahead availability.
428 - do not try to link against -lrt.
429 - use a separate configure script for IO::AIO (not the libeio one).
430
4313.0 Sun May 11 00:57:14 CEST 2008
432 - added bin/treescan to the distribution.
433 - switched to using libeio.
434 - LOTS OF INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
435 - remove signal functionality, it is not worth the effort.
436 - max_outstanding no longer returns the previous number of requests.
437 - poll_cb no longer returns number of requests.
438
4392.62 Sat Apr 26 13:59:33 CEST 2008
440 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
441 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
442 - keep a reference to the perl filehandle object in aio_close,
443 so it doesn't get closed prematurely, leading to ugly races.
444
4452.61 Wed Apr 16 18:45:02 CEST 2008
446 - fix treescan output duplication and improve output ordering.
447 also display files given on the commandline.
448 - use a different algorithm for aio_close that is faster
449 and probably has even lower chances of blocking.
450 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
451 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
452 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
453 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
454 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
455
4562.6 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
457 - added aio_sync.
458 - added aio_pathsync.
459 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
460
4612.51 Sat Oct 6 16:04:54 CEST 2007
462 - perlio isn't generally threadsafe, so aio_close could not work reliably.
463 aio_close now tries a safe hack that might not be that asynchronous
464 (see the manpage for details).
465 - discard callback return values as to not grow the stack endlessly
466 when poll_cb handles many requests without returning.
467 - minor code cleanups.
468
4692.5 Thu Oct 4 14:49:08 CEST 2007
470 - replaced _fd2fh with faster xs code.
471 - aio_close will now try to do "the right thing" and thus might
472 work sensibly for the very first time.
473
4742.41 Mon Sep 24 21:28:21 CEST 2007
475 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
476 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
477 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
478 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
479
4802.4 Sun Aug 5 18:44:22 CEST 2007
481 - add aio_truncate, aio_chmod, aio_chown, aio_utime (linux
482 successfully demonstrated that you can block on futimes...).
483 - allow undef as fileoffset for aio_read/write and use read/write(2)
484 internally (useful for sockets or O_APPEND handles).
485 - allow undef for length in aio_write.
486 - negative dataoffsets work as expected now in aio_read/aio_write.
487 - use NV instead of UV for 32 bit perls and file offsets, as NVs
488 have a larger range then.
489 - shared code between BDB and IO::AIO.
490 - aio_busy was completely broken. now fixed.
491 - readahead emulation now returns something.
492 - correctly set errno to ENOSYS on unimplemented functions
493 (should never happen, though).
494 - large changes to make it partially compile and run on win32,
495 but win32 lacks too much functionality, and perl overrides way
496 too many functions with crashing versions.
497
4982.33 Tue Jan 23 23:55:41 CET 2007
499 - fix install path (Andreas J. Koenig).
500
5012.32 Mon Jan 22 16:56:23 CET 2007
502 - added aio_rmtree.
503 - wow, aio_mkdir was missing.
504 - aio_load did return undef on error, not -1.
505 - use prefixexp not prefix in autoconf.pm
506 (suggested by ... rt.cpan.org unreachable).
507 - avoid installing autoconf.pm.
508
5092.31 Sat Jan 6 03:46:02 CET 2007
510 - added aio_load.
511
5122.3 Sat Dec 23 05:48:07 CET 2006
513 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_read, causing memory corruption
514 or crashes.
515
5162.21 Fri Dec 22 05:03:38 CET 2006
517 - minor doc updates.
518 - minor cleanups.
519 - IO::AIO::poll returns request count.
520 - undocumented and unfinished async-signal-reporting.
521
5222.2 Tue Oct 31 00:31:00 CET 2006
523 - minor doc updates.
524 - added aio_readlink.
525 - properly zero-terminate aio_read buffer.
526 - fix aio_read/write with nonzero dataoffset.
527 - reduced size of aio request structure.
528 - better diagnostics when pathnames etc. are not byte-encoded;
529 do not leak request in that case, either.
530
5312.1 Sun Oct 29 02:01:57 CET 2006
532 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace IO::AIO::poll_some by
533 IO::AIO::max_poll_reqs and IO::AIO::max_poll_time.
534 - fix a bug in aio_move where it would fail everytime
535 it would have to copy files manually.
536 - doc updates.
537 - start threads only on (very low) demand.
538 - end superfluous threads automatically after 10s idling.
539 - add IO::AIO::max_idle to control this.
540 - some tuning applied to random places.
541 - add aio_mknod.
542
5432.0 Thu Oct 26 18:27:58 CEST 2006
544 - minor incompatibility: max_outstanding semantics have changed.
545 - major rewrite, consider all functionality EXPERIMENTAL.
546 - aio requests can be cancelled.
547 - callbacks can be (re-)set later.
548 - aio requests can choose between 9 priorities.
549 - add aio_group: aio requests can be grouped
550 into composite requests.
551 - generator interface for groups.
552 - add IO::AIO::poll_some.
553 - major documentation improvements.
554 - very minor bugfixes.
555 - add aio_nop for dummy requests.
556 - add aio_busy mainly for benchmarking and debugging.
557 - use "fast" mutexes on linux.
558 - use dynamic (and larger) buffers instead of
559 putting them onto the stack.
560 - optimise x86 and amd64 a bit.
561 - better error checking when ENOMEM.
562 - hopefully fix mem and dirp leaks on fork.
563 - warn about broken perl malloc.
564 - compiles on cygwin (but pread is broken on cygwin
565 which is not detected by autoconf, so you have to
566 edit autoconf/config.h yourself to enable emulation).
567
5681.8 Sat Jun 24 22:20:44 CEST 2006
569 - add and/or document aio_rename, aio_link, aio_symlink and aio_move.
570
5711.73 Wed Mar 1 22:49:32 CET 2006
572 - codename "jost"
573 - AIX/Solaris(?) aren't being helpful again, hardcode a value
574 for NAME_MAX and drive with your eyes closed (reported by
575 wcooley@nakedape.cc).
576
5771.72 Thu Feb 2 00:40:44 CET 2006
578 - another minor bug in aio_scandir, again, the callback was called
579 twice when the directory can't be stat'ed.
580
5811.71 Mon Dec 26 20:20:03 CET 2005
582 - grr, another minor bug in aio_scandir, this time resulting
583 in a runtime error.
584
5851.7 Mon Dec 26 19:29:48 CET 2005
586 - aio_scandir errornously called callback twice in some cases.
587 - added AnyEvent example.
588
5891.61 Wed Sep 7 19:40:42 CEST 2005
590 - no longer include $Config{libs}, as distros include too much
591 garbage in there that is not installed on typical systems
592 (for example, debian links perl against -lgdbm and many more
593 libraries despite perl not needing it, slowing down startup and
594 wasting memory).
