44
45 - add MADV_FREE constant.
46 - add a bunch of (mostly linux-specific) constants for use in ioctls
47 (see aio_ioctl docs).
48 - treescan now has a proper manpage and useful --help output.
49 - new option --sync in treescan, to sync everything in a subtree.
50 - changed default for aio_msync flags to MSYNC_SYNC.
51 - document offset/length behaviour of mprotect/madvise.
52
534.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
54 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
55 compile errors on various platforms.
56 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
57 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
58 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
59 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
60 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
61 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
62
634.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
64 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
65 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
66 constants.
67 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
68 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK

77 user-visible changes.
78 - update ecb.h for C11 compatibility.
79
804.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
81 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
82
834.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
84 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
85 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
86 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
87 compatibility - I will never understand.
88
894.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
90 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
91 the stack after req_submit.

1044.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
105 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)

108 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
109 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
110 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
111 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
112 as per unix spec.
113
1144.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
115 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
116 it to malfunction for paths.
117 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
118 extents.
119 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
120 trash fiemap input arguments.
121 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
122 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
123 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
124 truncates segment count if a file.
125 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
126 to quick overview.
127 - splice can corrupt data.
128 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
129 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
130 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.

132
1334.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
134 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
135 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
136 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
137 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
138 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
139 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
140
1414.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
142 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
143 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
144 - new request aio_seek.
145 - new request aio_fiemap.
146 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
147
1484.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
149 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
150 instead of -1.
151 - port to c89.
152
1534.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
154 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
155
1564.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
157 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
158 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
159 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
160 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
161 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
162 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
163 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
164 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
165 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
166 in aio_scandir and treescan.
167 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
168 - added --progress switch to treescan.
169
1704.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
171 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
172 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
173 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
174 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
175 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
176 a timeout occured at the same time.
177 - (libeio) added realpath.
178 - (libeio) added fallocate.
179 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
180 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
181 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
182
1833.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
184 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
185
1863.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
187 - ecb.h was missing.
188
1893.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
190 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
191 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
192 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
193 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
194 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
195 transferred...)
196 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
197 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
198 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
199 pthread and fork in perl.
200 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
201 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
202 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
203 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
204
2053.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
206 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
207 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
208 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
209 flags.
210
2113.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
212 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
213 - support a max_idle value of 0.
214 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
215
2163.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
217 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
218 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
219 - new treescan option: --grep.
220 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
221
2223.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
223 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
224 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
225 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
226 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
227 funcitonality. ugh.
228
2293.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
230 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
231 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
232 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
233 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
234 (openbsd 4.8).
235 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
236 had string-data.
237 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
238 them.
239 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
240 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
241 user-errors better.
242 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
243
2443.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
245 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
246 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
247 Rasmus Andersson).
248 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
249 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
250 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
251 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
252 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
253
2543.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
255 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
256 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
257 kernel sources.
258 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
259 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
260 - clean up manpage.
261
2623.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
263 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
264 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
265 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
266 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
267 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
268 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
269
2703.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
271 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
272 - clarify cancel_subs description.
273 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
274 from the sendfile call.
275 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
276 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
277
2783.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
279 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
280 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
281 hash lookups.
282
2833.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
284 - use common::sense.
285 - use common schmorp.h header.
286 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
287 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
288 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
289
2903.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
291 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
292
2933.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
294 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
295 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
296 way. might help other os's too.
297
2983.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
299 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
300 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
301 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
302 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
303 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
304 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
305 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
306 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
307 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
308 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
309 but should not have been.
310 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
311 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
312
3133.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
314 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
315 rushed 3.22 release.
316
3173.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
318 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
319 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
320
3213.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
322 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
323 - install bin/treescan by default.
324 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
325 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
326 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
327 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
328 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
329 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
330 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
331
3323.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
333 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
334 not restore the file offset.
335 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
336 the names in various ways.
337 - unfortunately, utime, chmod, chown on an open file that has just
338 been written can easily block, which caused aio_copy to block the
339 process. no more!
340 - no longer rely on dst path in aio_copy when futime is available.
341
3423.19 Tue Apr 21 22:05:21 CEST 2009
343 - more perl 5.10 workarounds for aio_read and write.
344 - aio_write no longer modifies the sv (if possible).
345 - aio_read now works correctly with magic values.
346
3473.18 Sun Apr 19 21:17:32 CEST 2009
348 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh.
349 - try to avoid crashes due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. grmbl.
350
3513.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008
352 - (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested).
353 - add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ.
354
3553.16 Wed Oct 22 18:28:01 CEST 2008
356 - use SvREFCNT_inc instead of SvREFCNT_inc_NN in a non-speed critical
357 part to improve portability to perl 5.8 (reported by szymon).
358
3593.15 Mon Oct 13 00:39:55 CEST 2008
360 - automatic removal of feeders was broken.
361 - (libeio) use a more robust method to detect whether a feeder
362 has added something to the group or not.
363
3643.1 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
365 - pre-deref the passed callback object, for increased speed
366 and decreased memory usage.
367 - call on_next_submit callback even for aio_group - impact unknown,
368 but seems more correct.
369 - $req->cb now returns the original callback.
370 - (libeio) pass EIO_GROUP/aio_group requests through the queue without
371 requiring a thread switch.
372 - (libeio) status code of aio_futime and aio_utime was always passed 0.
373 - do some other ยต-optimisations.
374
3753.07 Sat Aug 2 16:06:13 CEST 2008
376 - do not include LIBS in autoconf tests.
377
3783.06 Tue Jul 15 12:41:32 CEST 2008
379 - move preadwritelock definition before it's first reference,
380 to make it compile again on broken platforms (they still exist)
381 or badly cofngiured perls (redhat...), reported by Rob Bloodgood.
382
3833.05 Thu Jun 19 23:23:52 CEST 2008
384 - work around perl overriding readdir etc. with thread-unsafe
385 (sic!) versions.
386
3873.04 Wed Jun 18 01:35:38 CEST 2008
388 - (libeio) fix eio_mknod, which confused it's arguments.
389 - (libeio) do not use readdir_r, as Ulrich Drepper pointed out that this
390 is stupid.
391 - (libeio) fix eio__readahead prototype, patch by Jost Krieger.
392 - (libeio) fix a bug that could potentially cause IO::AIO
393 not to get initialised properly.
394
3953.03 Thu May 29 05:33:30 CEST 2008
396 - (libeio) correctly call pthread_attr_destroy ().
397 - (libeio) work around broken bsd headers once more.
398 - reduce shared library size again by not including wrappers.
399 - max_outstanding could cause poll to enter a busy-waiting loop.
400 - document the new IO::AIO::poll_cb result value.
401
4023.02 Mon May 12 02:32:02 CEST 2008
403 - fix a memory leak on aio_readlink.
404 - bring back working fchmod.
405 - nop and busy now set result to 0.
406 - set errno to ENOMEM when allocation fails.
407
4083.01 Sun May 11 03:07:03 CEST 2008
409 - (libeio) make it compile on systems without readahead or readdir_r.
410 - (libeio) improve configure check for readahead availability.
411 - do not try to link against -lrt.
412 - use a separate configure script for IO::AIO (not the libeio one).
413
4143.0 Sun May 11 00:57:14 CEST 2008
415 - added bin/treescan to the distribution.
416 - switched to using libeio.
417 - LOTS OF INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
418 - remove signal functionality, it is not worth the effort.
419 - max_outstanding no longer returns the previous number of requests.
420 - poll_cb no longer returns number of requests.
421
4222.62 Sat Apr 26 13:59:33 CEST 2008
423 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
424 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
425 - keep a reference to the perl filehandle object in aio_close,
426 so it doesn't get closed prematurely, leading to ugly races.
427
4282.61 Wed Apr 16 18:45:02 CEST 2008
429 - fix treescan output duplication and improve output ordering.
430 also display files given on the commandline.
431 - use a different algorithm for aio_close that is faster
432 and probably has even lower chances of blocking.
433 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
434 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
435 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
436 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
437 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
438
4392.6 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
440 - added aio_sync.
441 - added aio_pathsync.
442 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
443
4442.51 Sat Oct 6 16:04:54 CEST 2007
445 - perlio isn't generally threadsafe, so aio_close could not work reliably.
446 aio_close now tries a safe hack that might not be that asynchronous
447 (see the manpage for details).
448 - discard callback return values as to not grow the stack endlessly
449 when poll_cb handles many requests without returning.
450 - minor code cleanups.
451
4522.5 Thu Oct 4 14:49:08 CEST 2007
453 - replaced _fd2fh with faster xs code.
454 - aio_close will now try to do "the right thing" and thus might
455 work sensibly for the very first time.
456
4572.41 Mon Sep 24 21:28:21 CEST 2007
458 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
459 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
460 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
461 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
462
4632.4 Sun Aug 5 18:44:22 CEST 2007
464 - add aio_truncate, aio_chmod, aio_chown, aio_utime (linux
465 successfully demonstrated that you can block on futimes...).
466 - allow undef as fileoffset for aio_read/write and use read/write(2)
467 internally (useful for sockets or O_APPEND handles).
468 - allow undef for length in aio_write.
469 - negative dataoffsets work as expected now in aio_read/aio_write.
470 - use NV instead of UV for 32 bit perls and file offsets, as NVs
471 have a larger range then.
472 - shared code between BDB and IO::AIO.
473 - aio_busy was completely broken. now fixed.
474 - readahead emulation now returns something.
475 - correctly set errno to ENOSYS on unimplemented functions
476 (should never happen, though).
477 - large changes to make it partially compile and run on win32,
478 but win32 lacks too much functionality, and perl overrides way
479 too many functions with crashing versions.
480
4812.33 Tue Jan 23 23:55:41 CET 2007
482 - fix install path (Andreas J. Koenig).
483
4842.32 Mon Jan 22 16:56:23 CET 2007
485 - added aio_rmtree.
486 - wow, aio_mkdir was missing.
487 - aio_load did return undef on error, not -1.
488 - use prefixexp not prefix in autoconf.pm
489 (suggested by ... rt.cpan.org unreachable).
490 - avoid installing autoconf.pm.
491
4922.31 Sat Jan 6 03:46:02 CET 2007
493 - added aio_load.
494
4952.3 Sat Dec 23 05:48:07 CET 2006
496 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_read, causing memory corruption
497 or crashes.

509 - fix aio_read/write with nonzero dataoffset.
510 - reduced size of aio request structure.
511 - better diagnostics when pathnames etc. are not byte-encoded;
512 do not leak request in that case, either.
513
5142.1 Sun Oct 29 02:01:57 CET 2006
515 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace IO::AIO::poll_some by
516 IO::AIO::max_poll_reqs and IO::AIO::max_poll_time.
517 - fix a bug in aio_move where it would fail everytime
518 it would have to copy files manually.
519 - doc updates.
520 - start threads only on (very low) demand.
521 - end superfluous threads automatically after 10s idling.
522 - add IO::AIO::max_idle to control this.
523 - some tuning applied to random places.
524 - add aio_mknod.
525

530 - callbacks can be (re-)set later.
531 - aio requests can choose between 9 priorities.
8 - add aio_group: aio requests can be grouped. 532 - add aio_group: aio requests can be grouped
533 into composite requests.
9 - implement generator interface for groups. 534 - generator interface for groups.

538 - add aio_nop for dummy requests.
12 - add aio_sleep mainly for benchmarking and debugging. 539 - add aio_busy mainly for benchmarking and debugging.
13 - deprecated max_outstanding. 540 - use "fast" mutexes on linux.
541 - use dynamic (and larger) buffers instead of
542 putting them onto the stack.
543 - optimise x86 and amd64 a bit.
544 - better error checking when ENOMEM.
545 - hopefully fix mem and dirp leaks on fork.
546 - warn about broken perl malloc.
547 - compiles on cygwin (but pread is broken on cygwin
548 which is not detected by autoconf, so you have to
549 edit autoconf/config.h yourself to enable emulation).
