48
494.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
50 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
51 compile errors on various platforms.
52 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
53 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
54 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
55 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
56 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
57 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
58
594.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
60 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
61 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
62 constants.
63 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
64 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK

764.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
77 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
78
794.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
80 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
81 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
82 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
83 compatibility - I will never understand.
84
854.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
86 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
87 the stack after req_submit.

99
1004.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
101 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
102

104 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
105 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
106 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
107 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
108 as per unix spec.
109
1104.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
111 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
112 it to malfunction for paths.
113 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
114 extents.
115 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
116 trash fiemap input arguments.
117 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
118 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
119 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
120 truncates segment count if a file.
121 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
122 to quick overview.
123 - splice can corrupt data.
124 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
125 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
126 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.
127 - provide pread/pwrite for win32, making it link again on native win32.
128
1294.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
130 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
131 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
132 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
133 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
134 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
135 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
136
1374.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
138 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
139 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
140 - new request aio_seek.
141 - new request aio_fiemap.
142 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
143
1444.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
145 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
146 instead of -1.
147 - port to c89.
148
1494.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
150 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
151
1524.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
153 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
154 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
155 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
156 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
157 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
158 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
159 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
160 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
161 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
162 in aio_scandir and treescan.
163 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
164 - added --progress switch to treescan.
165
1664.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
167 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
168 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
169 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
170 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
171 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
172 a timeout occured at the same time.
173 - (libeio) added realpath.
174 - (libeio) added fallocate.
175 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
176 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
177 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
178
1793.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
180 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
181
1823.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
183 - ecb.h was missing.
184
1853.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
186 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
187 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
188 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
189 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
190 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
191 transferred...)
192 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
193 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
194 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
195 pthread and fork in perl.
196 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
197 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
198 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
199 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
200
2013.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
202 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
203 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
204 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
205 flags.
206
2073.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
208 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
209 - support a max_idle value of 0.
210 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
211
2123.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
213 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
214 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
215 - new treescan option: --grep.
216 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
217
2183.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
219 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
220 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
221 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
222 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
223 funcitonality. ugh.
224
2253.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
226 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
227 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
228 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
229 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
230 (openbsd 4.8).
231 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
232 had string-data.
233 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
234 them.
235 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
236 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
237 user-errors better.
238 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
239
2403.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
241 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
242 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
243 Rasmus Andersson).
244 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
245 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
246 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
247 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
248 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
249
2503.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
251 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
252 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
253 kernel sources.
254 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
255 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
256 - clean up manpage.
257
2583.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
259 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
260 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
261 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
262 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
263 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
264 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
265
2663.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
267 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
268 - clarify cancel_subs description.
269 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
270 from the sendfile call.
271 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
272 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
273
2743.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
275 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
276 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
277 hash lookups.
278
2793.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
280 - use common::sense.
281 - use common schmorp.h header.
282 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
283 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
284 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
285
2863.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
287 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
288
2893.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
290 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
291 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
292 way. might help other os's too.
293
2943.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
295 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
296 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
297 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
298 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
299 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
300 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
301 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
302 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
303 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
304 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
305 but should not have been.
306 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
307 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
308
3093.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
310 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
311 rushed 3.22 release.
312
3133.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
314 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
315 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
316
3173.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
318 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
319 - install bin/treescan by default.
320 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
321 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
322 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
323 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
324 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
325 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
326 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
327
3283.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
329 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
330 not restore the file offset.
331 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
332 the names in various ways.
333 - unfortunately, utime, chmod, chown on an open file that has just
334 been written can easily block, which caused aio_copy to block the
335 process. no more!
336 - no longer rely on dst path in aio_copy when futime is available.
337
3383.19 Tue Apr 21 22:05:21 CEST 2009
339 - more perl 5.10 workarounds for aio_read and write.
340 - aio_write no longer modifies the sv (if possible).
341 - aio_read now works correctly with magic values.
342
3433.18 Sun Apr 19 21:17:32 CEST 2009
344 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh.
345 - try to avoid crashes due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. grmbl.
346
3473.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008
348 - (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested).
349 - add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ.
350
3513.16 Wed Oct 22 18:28:01 CEST 2008
352 - use SvREFCNT_inc instead of SvREFCNT_inc_NN in a non-speed critical
353 part to improve portability to perl 5.8 (reported by szymon).
354
3553.15 Mon Oct 13 00:39:55 CEST 2008
356 - automatic removal of feeders was broken.
357 - (libeio) use a more robust method to detect whether a feeder
358 has added something to the group or not.
359
3603.1 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
361 - pre-deref the passed callback object, for increased speed
362 and decreased memory usage.
363 - call on_next_submit callback even for aio_group - impact unknown,
364 but seems more correct.
365 - $req->cb now returns the original callback.
366 - (libeio) pass EIO_GROUP/aio_group requests through the queue without
367 requiring a thread switch.
368 - (libeio) status code of aio_futime and aio_utime was always passed 0.
369 - do some other ยต-optimisations.
370
3713.07 Sat Aug 2 16:06:13 CEST 2008
372 - do not include LIBS in autoconf tests.
373
3743.06 Tue Jul 15 12:41:32 CEST 2008
375 - move preadwritelock definition before it's first reference,
376 to make it compile again on broken platforms (they still exist)
377 or badly cofngiured perls (redhat...), reported by Rob Bloodgood.
378
3793.05 Thu Jun 19 23:23:52 CEST 2008
380 - work around perl overriding readdir etc. with thread-unsafe
381 (sic!) versions.
382
3833.04 Wed Jun 18 01:35:38 CEST 2008
384 - (libeio) fix eio_mknod, which confused it's arguments.
385 - (libeio) do not use readdir_r, as Ulrich Drepper pointed out that this
386 is stupid.
387 - (libeio) fix eio__readahead prototype, patch by Jost Krieger.
388 - (libeio) fix a bug that could potentially cause IO::AIO
389 not to get initialised properly.
390
3913.03 Thu May 29 05:33:30 CEST 2008
392 - (libeio) correctly call pthread_attr_destroy ().
393 - (libeio) work around broken bsd headers once more.
394 - reduce shared library size again by not including wrappers.
395 - max_outstanding could cause poll to enter a busy-waiting loop.
396 - document the new IO::AIO::poll_cb result value.
397
3983.02 Mon May 12 02:32:02 CEST 2008
399 - fix a memory leak on aio_readlink.
400 - bring back working fchmod.
401 - nop and busy now set result to 0.
402 - set errno to ENOMEM when allocation fails.
403
4043.01 Sun May 11 03:07:03 CEST 2008
405 - (libeio) make it compile on systems without readahead or readdir_r.
406 - (libeio) improve configure check for readahead availability.
407 - do not try to link against -lrt.
408 - use a separate configure script for IO::AIO (not the libeio one).
409
4103.0 Sun May 11 00:57:14 CEST 2008
411 - added bin/treescan to the distribution.
412 - switched to using libeio.
413 - LOTS OF INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
414 - remove signal functionality, it is not worth the effort.
415 - max_outstanding no longer returns the previous number of requests.
416 - poll_cb no longer returns number of requests.
417
4182.62 Sat Apr 26 13:59:33 CEST 2008
419 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
420 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
421 - keep a reference to the perl filehandle object in aio_close,
422 so it doesn't get closed prematurely, leading to ugly races.
423
4242.61 Wed Apr 16 18:45:02 CEST 2008
425 - fix treescan output duplication and improve output ordering.
426 also display files given on the commandline.
427 - use a different algorithm for aio_close that is faster
428 and probably has even lower chances of blocking.
429 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
430 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
431 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
432 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
433 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
434
4352.6 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
436 - added aio_sync.
437 - added aio_pathsync.
438 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
439
4402.51 Sat Oct 6 16:04:54 CEST 2007
441 - perlio isn't generally threadsafe, so aio_close could not work reliably.
442 aio_close now tries a safe hack that might not be that asynchronous
443 (see the manpage for details).
444 - discard callback return values as to not grow the stack endlessly
445 when poll_cb handles many requests without returning.
446 - minor code cleanups.
447
4482.5 Thu Oct 4 14:49:08 CEST 2007
449 - replaced _fd2fh with faster xs code.
450 - aio_close will now try to do "the right thing" and thus might
451 work sensibly for the very first time.
452
4532.41 Mon Sep 24 21:28:21 CEST 2007
454 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
455 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
456 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
457 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
458
4592.4 Sun Aug 5 18:44:22 CEST 2007
460 - add aio_truncate, aio_chmod, aio_chown, aio_utime (linux
461 successfully demonstrated that you can block on futimes...).
462 - allow undef as fileoffset for aio_read/write and use read/write(2)
463 internally (useful for sockets or O_APPEND handles).
464 - allow undef for length in aio_write.
465 - negative dataoffsets work as expected now in aio_read/aio_write.
466 - use NV instead of UV for 32 bit perls and file offsets, as NVs
467 have a larger range then.
468 - shared code between BDB and IO::AIO.
469 - aio_busy was completely broken. now fixed.
470 - readahead emulation now returns something.
471 - correctly set errno to ENOSYS on unimplemented functions
472 (should never happen, though).
473 - large changes to make it partially compile and run on win32,
474 but win32 lacks too much functionality, and perl overrides way
475 too many functions with crashing versions.
476
4772.33 Tue Jan 23 23:55:41 CET 2007
478 - fix install path (Andreas J. Koenig).
479
4802.32 Mon Jan 22 16:56:23 CET 2007
481 - added aio_rmtree.
482 - wow, aio_mkdir was missing.
483 - aio_load did return undef on error, not -1.
484 - use prefixexp not prefix in autoconf.pm
485 (suggested by ... rt.cpan.org unreachable).
486 - avoid installing autoconf.pm.
487
4882.31 Sat Jan 6 03:46:02 CET 2007
489 - added aio_load.
490
4912.3 Sat Dec 23 05:48:07 CET 2006
492 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_read, causing memory corruption
493 or crashes.
494
4952.21 Fri Dec 22 05:03:38 CET 2006
496 - minor doc updates.

5012.2 Tue Oct 31 00:31:00 CET 2006
502 - minor doc updates.
503 - added aio_readlink.
504 - properly zero-terminate aio_read buffer.
505 - fix aio_read/write with nonzero dataoffset.
506 - reduced size of aio request structure.
507 - better diagnostics when pathnames etc. are not byte-encoded;
508 do not leak request in that case, either.
509
5102.1 Sun Oct 29 02:01:57 CET 2006
511 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace IO::AIO::poll_some by
512 IO::AIO::max_poll_reqs and IO::AIO::max_poll_time.
513 - fix a bug in aio_move where it would fail everytime
514 it would have to copy files manually.
515 - doc updates.
516 - start threads only on (very low) demand.
517 - end superfluous threads automatically after 10s idling.
518 - add IO::AIO::max_idle to control this.
519 - some tuning applied to random places.
520 - add aio_mknod.
521
5222.0 Thu Oct 26 18:27:58 CEST 2006

524 - major rewrite, consider all functionality EXPERIMENTAL.
7 - aio requests can be cancelled. 525 - aio requests can be cancelled.
526 - callbacks can be (re-)set later.
527 - aio requests can choose between 9 priorities.
8 - add aio_group: aio requests can be grouped. 528 - add aio_group: aio requests can be grouped
529 into composite requests.
9 - implement generator interface for groups. 530 - generator interface for groups.
10 - add aio_sleep mainly for benchmarking and debugging. 531 - add IO::AIO::poll_some.
11 - major documentation improvements. 532 - major documentation improvements.
12 - very minor bugfixes. 533 - very minor bugfixes.
534 - add aio_nop for dummy requests.
535 - add aio_busy mainly for benchmarking and debugging.
536 - use "fast" mutexes on linux.
537 - use dynamic (and larger) buffers instead of
538 putting them onto the stack.
539 - optimise x86 and amd64 a bit.
540 - better error checking when ENOMEM.
541 - hopefully fix mem and dirp leaks on fork.
542 - warn about broken perl malloc.
543 - compiles on cygwin (but pread is broken on cygwin
544 which is not detected by autoconf, so you have to
545 edit autoconf/config.h yourself to enable emulation).
