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

63 and better eventfd detection.
64
654.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
66 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
67 compile errors on various platforms.
68 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
69 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
70 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
71 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
72 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
73 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
74
754.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
76 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
77 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
78 constants.
79 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
80 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK

924.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
93 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
94
954.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
96 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
97 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
98 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
99 compatibility - I will never understand.
100
1014.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
102 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
103 the stack after req_submit.

115
1164.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
117 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)

1194.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
120 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
121 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
122 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
123 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
124 as per unix spec.
125
1264.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
127 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
128 it to malfunction for paths.
129 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
130 extents.
131 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
132 trash fiemap input arguments.
133 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
134 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
135 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
136 truncates segment count if a file.
137 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
138 to quick overview.
139 - splice can corrupt data.
140 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
141 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.

144
1454.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
146 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
147 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
148 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
149 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
150 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
151 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
152
1534.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
154 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
155 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
156 - new request aio_seek.
157 - new request aio_fiemap.
158 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
159
1604.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
161 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
162 instead of -1.
163 - port to c89.
164
1654.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
166 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
167
1684.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
169 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
170 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
171 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
172 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
173 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
174 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
175 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
176 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
177 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
178 in aio_scandir and treescan.
179 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
180 - added --progress switch to treescan.
181
1824.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
183 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
184 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
185 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
186 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
187 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
188 a timeout occured at the same time.
189 - (libeio) added realpath.
190 - (libeio) added fallocate.
191 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
192 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.

194
1953.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
196 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
197
1983.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
199 - ecb.h was missing.
200
2013.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
202 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
203 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
204 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
205 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
206 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
207 transferred...)
208 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
209 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
210 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
211 pthread and fork in perl.
212 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
213 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
214 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
215 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
216
2173.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
218 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
219 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
220 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
221 flags.
222
2233.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
224 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
225 - support a max_idle value of 0.
226 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
227
2283.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
229 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
230 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
231 - new treescan option: --grep.
232 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
233
2343.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
235 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
236 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
237 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
238 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
239 funcitonality. ugh.
240
2413.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
242 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
243 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
244 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
245 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
246 (openbsd 4.8).
247 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
248 had string-data.
249 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
250 them.
251 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
252 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
253 user-errors better.
254 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
255
2563.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
257 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
258 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
259 Rasmus Andersson).
260 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
261 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
262 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
263 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
264 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
265
2663.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
267 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
268 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
269 kernel sources.
270 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
271 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
272 - clean up manpage.
273
2743.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
275 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
276 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
277 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
278 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
279 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
280 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
281
2823.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
283 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
284 - clarify cancel_subs description.
285 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
286 from the sendfile call.
287 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
288 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
289
2903.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
291 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
292 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
293 hash lookups.
294
2953.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
296 - use common::sense.
297 - use common schmorp.h header.
298 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
299 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
300 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
301
3023.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
303 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
304
3053.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
306 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
307 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
308 way. might help other os's too.
309
3103.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
311 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
312 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
313 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
314 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
315 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
316 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
317 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
318 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
319 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
320 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
321 but should not have been.
322 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
323 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
324
3253.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
326 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
327 rushed 3.22 release.
328
3293.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
330 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
331 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
332
3333.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
334 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
335 - install bin/treescan by default.
336 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
337 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
338 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
339 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
340 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
341 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
342 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
343
3443.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
345 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
346 not restore the file offset.
347 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
348 the names in various ways.
349 - unfortunately, utime, chmod, chown on an open file that has just
350 been written can easily block, which caused aio_copy to block the
351 process. no more!
352 - no longer rely on dst path in aio_copy when futime is available.
353
3543.19 Tue Apr 21 22:05:21 CEST 2009
355 - more perl 5.10 workarounds for aio_read and write.
356 - aio_write no longer modifies the sv (if possible).
357 - aio_read now works correctly with magic values.
358
3593.18 Sun Apr 19 21:17:32 CEST 2009
360 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh.
361 - try to avoid crashes due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. grmbl.
362
3633.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008
364 - (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested).
365 - add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ.
366
3673.16 Wed Oct 22 18:28:01 CEST 2008
368 - use SvREFCNT_inc instead of SvREFCNT_inc_NN in a non-speed critical
369 part to improve portability to perl 5.8 (reported by szymon).
370
3713.15 Mon Oct 13 00:39:55 CEST 2008
372 - automatic removal of feeders was broken.
373 - (libeio) use a more robust method to detect whether a feeder
374 has added something to the group or not.
375
3763.1 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
377 - pre-deref the passed callback object, for increased speed
378 and decreased memory usage.
379 - call on_next_submit callback even for aio_group - impact unknown,
380 but seems more correct.
381 - $req->cb now returns the original callback.
382 - (libeio) pass EIO_GROUP/aio_group requests through the queue without
383 requiring a thread switch.
384 - (libeio) status code of aio_futime and aio_utime was always passed 0.
385 - do some other ยต-optimisations.
386
3873.07 Sat Aug 2 16:06:13 CEST 2008
388 - do not include LIBS in autoconf tests.
389
3903.06 Tue Jul 15 12:41:32 CEST 2008
391 - move preadwritelock definition before it's first reference,
392 to make it compile again on broken platforms (they still exist)
393 or badly cofngiured perls (redhat...), reported by Rob Bloodgood.
394
3953.05 Thu Jun 19 23:23:52 CEST 2008
396 - work around perl overriding readdir etc. with thread-unsafe
397 (sic!) versions.
398
3993.04 Wed Jun 18 01:35:38 CEST 2008
400 - (libeio) fix eio_mknod, which confused it's arguments.
401 - (libeio) do not use readdir_r, as Ulrich Drepper pointed out that this
402 is stupid.
403 - (libeio) fix eio__readahead prototype, patch by Jost Krieger.
404 - (libeio) fix a bug that could potentially cause IO::AIO
405 not to get initialised properly.
406
4073.03 Thu May 29 05:33:30 CEST 2008
408 - (libeio) correctly call pthread_attr_destroy ().
409 - (libeio) work around broken bsd headers once more.
410 - reduce shared library size again by not including wrappers.
411 - max_outstanding could cause poll to enter a busy-waiting loop.
412 - document the new IO::AIO::poll_cb result value.
413
4143.02 Mon May 12 02:32:02 CEST 2008
415 - fix a memory leak on aio_readlink.
416 - bring back working fchmod.
417 - nop and busy now set result to 0.
418 - set errno to ENOMEM when allocation fails.
419
4203.01 Sun May 11 03:07:03 CEST 2008
421 - (libeio) make it compile on systems without readahead or readdir_r.
422 - (libeio) improve configure check for readahead availability.
423 - do not try to link against -lrt.
424 - use a separate configure script for IO::AIO (not the libeio one).
425
4263.0 Sun May 11 00:57:14 CEST 2008
427 - added bin/treescan to the distribution.
428 - switched to using libeio.
429 - LOTS OF INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
430 - remove signal functionality, it is not worth the effort.
431 - max_outstanding no longer returns the previous number of requests.
432 - poll_cb no longer returns number of requests.
433
4342.62 Sat Apr 26 13:59:33 CEST 2008
435 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
436 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
437 - keep a reference to the perl filehandle object in aio_close,
438 so it doesn't get closed prematurely, leading to ugly races.
439
4402.61 Wed Apr 16 18:45:02 CEST 2008
441 - fix treescan output duplication and improve output ordering.
442 also display files given on the commandline.
443 - use a different algorithm for aio_close that is faster
444 and probably has even lower chances of blocking.
445 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
446 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
447 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
448 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
449 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
450
4512.6 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
452 - added aio_sync.
453 - added aio_pathsync.
454 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
455
4562.51 Sat Oct 6 16:04:54 CEST 2007
457 - perlio isn't generally threadsafe, so aio_close could not work reliably.
458 aio_close now tries a safe hack that might not be that asynchronous
459 (see the manpage for details).
460 - discard callback return values as to not grow the stack endlessly
461 when poll_cb handles many requests without returning.
462 - minor code cleanups.
463
4642.5 Thu Oct 4 14:49:08 CEST 2007
465 - replaced _fd2fh with faster xs code.
466 - aio_close will now try to do "the right thing" and thus might
467 work sensibly for the very first time.
468
4692.41 Mon Sep 24 21:28:21 CEST 2007
470 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
471 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
472 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
473 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
474
4752.4 Sun Aug 5 18:44:22 CEST 2007
476 - add aio_truncate, aio_chmod, aio_chown, aio_utime (linux
477 successfully demonstrated that you can block on futimes...).
478 - allow undef as fileoffset for aio_read/write and use read/write(2)
479 internally (useful for sockets or O_APPEND handles).
480 - allow undef for length in aio_write.
481 - negative dataoffsets work as expected now in aio_read/aio_write.
482 - use NV instead of UV for 32 bit perls and file offsets, as NVs
483 have a larger range then.
484 - shared code between BDB and IO::AIO.
485 - aio_busy was completely broken. now fixed.
486 - readahead emulation now returns something.
487 - correctly set errno to ENOSYS on unimplemented functions
488 (should never happen, though).
489 - large changes to make it partially compile and run on win32,
490 but win32 lacks too much functionality, and perl overrides way
491 too many functions with crashing versions.
492
4932.33 Tue Jan 23 23:55:41 CET 2007
494 - fix install path (Andreas J. Koenig).
495
4962.32 Mon Jan 22 16:56:23 CET 2007
497 - added aio_rmtree.
498 - wow, aio_mkdir was missing.
499 - aio_load did return undef on error, not -1.
500 - use prefixexp not prefix in autoconf.pm
501 (suggested by ... rt.cpan.org unreachable).
502 - avoid installing autoconf.pm.
503
5042.31 Sat Jan 6 03:46:02 CET 2007
505 - added aio_load.
506
5072.3 Sat Dec 23 05:48:07 CET 2006

521 - fix aio_read/write with nonzero dataoffset.
522 - reduced size of aio request structure.
523 - better diagnostics when pathnames etc. are not byte-encoded;
524 do not leak request in that case, either.
525
5262.1 Sun Oct 29 02:01:57 CET 2006
527 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace IO::AIO::poll_some by
528 IO::AIO::max_poll_reqs and IO::AIO::max_poll_time.
529 - fix a bug in aio_move where it would fail everytime
530 it would have to copy files manually.
531 - doc updates.
532 - start threads only on (very low) demand.
533 - end superfluous threads automatically after 10s idling.
534 - add IO::AIO::max_idle to control this.
535 - some tuning applied to random places.
