2 2
31.1 3TODO: better autoconf.pm that can return LIBS etc.
4TODO: use feeder for aio_scandir.
5
62.0
7 - aio requests can be cancelled.
8 - add aio_group: aio requests can be grouped.
9 - implement generator interface for groups.
10 - add aio_sleep mainly for benchmarking and debugging.
11 - major documentation improvements.
12 - very minor bugfixes.
13
141.8 Sat Jun 24 22:20:44 CEST 2006
15 - add and/or document aio_rename, aio_link, aio_symlink and aio_move.
16
171.73 Wed Mar 1 22:49:32 CET 2006
18 - codename "jost"
19 - AIX/Solaris(?) aren't being helpful again, hardcode a value
20 for NAME_MAX and drive with your eyes closed (reported by
21 wcooley@nakedape.cc).
22
231.72 Thu Feb 2 00:40:44 CET 2006
24 - another minor bug in aio_scandir, again, the callback was called
25 twice when the directory can't be stat'ed.
26
271.71 Mon Dec 26 20:20:03 CET 2005
28 - grr, another minor bug in aio_scandir, this time resulting
29 in a runtime error.
30
311.7 Mon Dec 26 19:29:48 CET 2005
32 - aio_scandir errornously called callback twice in some cases.
33 - added AnyEvent example.
34
351.61 Wed Sep 7 19:40:42 CEST 2005
36 - no longer include $Config{libs}, as distros include too much
37 garbage in there that is not installed on typical systems
38 (for example, debian links perl against -lgdbm and many more
39 libraries despite perl not needing it, slowing down startup and
40 wasting memory).
41
421.6 Tue Aug 30 17:44:44 CEST 2005
43 - added aio_readdir, aio_scandir.
44 - added aio_sendfile, including sendfile emulation when sendfile
45 isn't available. Linux, FreeBSD and HP-UX might work (sendfilev
46 support is unavailable on my solaris 8 machine, but preliminary
47 code is there. What's lacking is configury stuff and testing...).
48
491.5 Sat Aug 20 02:32:19 CEST 2005
50 - create the aio threads on demand only (good after forking).
51 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should
52 be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones.
53 - abort when the configure script fails.
54
551.4 Wed Aug 17 08:07:27 CEST 2005
56 - forget to recreate the pipe after forking, this could cause
57 deadlocks.
58
591.3 Wed Aug 17 07:25:54 CEST 2005
60 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
61 eating them.
62 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback
63 invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes.
64 - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong
65 length after reading.
66 - fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests
67 from the parent.
68 - make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon
69 (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes.
70 - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write.
71 - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data
72 scalar for better error reporting.
73
741.2 Wed Aug 17 01:22:58 CEST 2005
75 - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris.
76 - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to
77 the external filename encoding first.
78 - fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again).
79 - clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away
80 with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS.
81 - fork'ing should now be officially supported (where linux and
82 posix contradict each other, I followed posix).
83 - only call read() once per poll, not twice (speedup).
84 - new functions: aio_rmdir, aio_symlink.
85 - force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better
86 error catching.
87
881.1 Sun Aug 7 05:27:23 CEST 2005
4 - added configure script to detetc availability of some calls. 89 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls.
5 (imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due it missing 90 (imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due to missing
6 feedback yet). 91 feedback yet).
7 - emulate fdatasync by fsync, pread/pwrite by unsafe read/write 92 - emulate fdatasync via fsync, pread/pwrite via unsafe read/write
8 and readahead by manual reading on platforms lacking those. 93 and readahead via manual reading on platforms lacking those.

10 from Linux::AIO. 95 from Linux::AIO.
11 - removed XOPEN_SOURCE because stupid solaris 9 doesn't 96 - removed XOPEN_SOURCE because stupid solaris 9 doesn't
12 compile with it enabled. Probably breaks others. Oh well. 97 compile with it enabled. Probably breaks others. Oh well.
13 - try to be more careful with errno on non-threaded perls. 98 - try to be more careful with errno on non-threaded perls.
99 - cygwins perl insisted on a matching open mode when morphing
100 the fd to an fh.
101 - convert sv's to "byte" encoding in aio_read/aio_write. Might
102 do that for pathnames, too, in the future, so make sure you
103 properly encode your pathnames.

151.0 Fri Jul 22 10:43:30 CEST 2005 1051.0 Fri Jul 22 10:43:30 CEST 2005
16 - aio_open did not reliably deliver (open) filehandles. 106 - aio_open did not reliably deliver (open) filehandles.
17 - all aio_*-functions keep a reference to the filehandle so 107 - all aio_*-functions keep a reference to the filehandle so
18 it doesn't go away while the aio requests is working on it. 108 it doesn't go away while the aio requests is working on it.
