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

59 - add IO:AIO::FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE.
60 - update schmorp.h for removal of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
61 and better eventfd detection.
62
634.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
64 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
65 compile errors on various platforms.
66 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
67 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
68 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
69 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
70 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
71 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
72
734.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
74 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
75 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
76 constants.
77 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
78 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK

89
904.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
91 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
92
934.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
94 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
95 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
96 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
97 compatibility - I will never understand.
98
994.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
100 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
101 the stack after req_submit.

113
1144.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
115 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)

1174.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
118 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
119 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
120 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
121 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
122 as per unix spec.
123
1244.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
125 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
126 it to malfunction for paths.
127 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
128 extents.
129 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
130 trash fiemap input arguments.
131 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
132 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
133 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
134 truncates segment count if a file.

142
1434.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
144 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
145 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
146 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
147 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
148 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
149 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
150
1514.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
152 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
153 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
154 - new request aio_seek.
155 - new request aio_fiemap.
156 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
157
1584.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
159 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
160 instead of -1.
161 - port to c89.
162
1634.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
164 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
165
1664.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
167 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
168 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
169 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
170 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
171 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
172 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
173 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
174 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
175 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
176 in aio_scandir and treescan.
177 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
178 - added --progress switch to treescan.
179
1804.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
181 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
182 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
183 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
184 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
185 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
186 a timeout occured at the same time.
187 - (libeio) added realpath.
188 - (libeio) added fallocate.
189 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
190 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
191 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
192
1933.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
194 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
195
1963.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
197 - ecb.h was missing.
198
1993.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
200 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
201 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
202 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
203 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
204 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
205 transferred...)
206 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
207 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
208 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
209 pthread and fork in perl.
210 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
211 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
212 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
213 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
214
2153.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
216 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
217 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
218 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
219 flags.
220
2213.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
222 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
223 - support a max_idle value of 0.
224 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
225
2263.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
227 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
228 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
229 - new treescan option: --grep.
230 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
231
2323.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
233 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
234 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
235 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
236 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
237 funcitonality. ugh.
238
2393.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
240 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
241 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
242 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
243 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
244 (openbsd 4.8).
245 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
246 had string-data.
247 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
248 them.
249 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
250 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
251 user-errors better.
252 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
253
2543.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
255 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
256 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
257 Rasmus Andersson).
258 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
259 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
260 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
261 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
262 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
263
2643.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
265 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
266 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
267 kernel sources.
268 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
269 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
270 - clean up manpage.
271
2723.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
273 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
274 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
275 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
276 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
277 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
278 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
279
2803.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
281 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
282 - clarify cancel_subs description.
283 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
284 from the sendfile call.
285 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
286 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
287
2883.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
289 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
290 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
291 hash lookups.
292
2933.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
294 - use common::sense.
295 - use common schmorp.h header.
296 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
297 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
298 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
299
3003.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
301 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
302
3033.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
304 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
305 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
306 way. might help other os's too.
307
3083.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
309 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
310 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
311 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
312 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
313 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
314 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
315 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
316 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
317 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
318 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
319 but should not have been.
320 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
321 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
322
3233.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
324 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
325 rushed 3.22 release.
326
3273.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
328 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
329 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
330
3313.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
332 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
333 - install bin/treescan by default.
334 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
335 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
336 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
337 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
338 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
339 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
340 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
341
3423.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
343 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
344 not restore the file offset.
345 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
346 the names in various ways.
347 - unfortunately, utime, chmod, chown on an open file that has just
348 been written can easily block, which caused aio_copy to block the
349 process. no more!
350 - no longer rely on dst path in aio_copy when futime is available.
351
3523.19 Tue Apr 21 22:05:21 CEST 2009
353 - more perl 5.10 workarounds for aio_read and write.
354 - aio_write no longer modifies the sv (if possible).
355 - aio_read now works correctly with magic values.
356
3573.18 Sun Apr 19 21:17:32 CEST 2009
358 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh.
359 - try to avoid crashes due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. grmbl.
360
3613.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008
362 - (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested).
363 - add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ.
364
3653.16 Wed Oct 22 18:28:01 CEST 2008
366 - use SvREFCNT_inc instead of SvREFCNT_inc_NN in a non-speed critical
367 part to improve portability to perl 5.8 (reported by szymon).
368
3693.15 Mon Oct 13 00:39:55 CEST 2008
370 - automatic removal of feeders was broken.
371 - (libeio) use a more robust method to detect whether a feeder
372 has added something to the group or not.
373
3743.1 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
375 - pre-deref the passed callback object, for increased speed
376 and decreased memory usage.
377 - call on_next_submit callback even for aio_group - impact unknown,
378 but seems more correct.
379 - $req->cb now returns the original callback.
380 - (libeio) pass EIO_GROUP/aio_group requests through the queue without
381 requiring a thread switch.
382 - (libeio) status code of aio_futime and aio_utime was always passed 0.
383 - do some other ยต-optimisations.
384
3853.07 Sat Aug 2 16:06:13 CEST 2008
386 - do not include LIBS in autoconf tests.
387
3883.06 Tue Jul 15 12:41:32 CEST 2008
389 - move preadwritelock definition before it's first reference,
390 to make it compile again on broken platforms (they still exist)
391 or badly cofngiured perls (redhat...), reported by Rob Bloodgood.
392
3933.05 Thu Jun 19 23:23:52 CEST 2008
394 - work around perl overriding readdir etc. with thread-unsafe
395 (sic!) versions.
396
3973.04 Wed Jun 18 01:35:38 CEST 2008
398 - (libeio) fix eio_mknod, which confused it's arguments.
399 - (libeio) do not use readdir_r, as Ulrich Drepper pointed out that this
400 is stupid.
401 - (libeio) fix eio__readahead prototype, patch by Jost Krieger.
402 - (libeio) fix a bug that could potentially cause IO::AIO
403 not to get initialised properly.
404
4053.03 Thu May 29 05:33:30 CEST 2008
406 - (libeio) correctly call pthread_attr_destroy ().
407 - (libeio) work around broken bsd headers once more.
408 - reduce shared library size again by not including wrappers.
409 - max_outstanding could cause poll to enter a busy-waiting loop.
410 - document the new IO::AIO::poll_cb result value.
411
4123.02 Mon May 12 02:32:02 CEST 2008
413 - fix a memory leak on aio_readlink.
414 - bring back working fchmod.
415 - nop and busy now set result to 0.
416 - set errno to ENOMEM when allocation fails.
417
4183.01 Sun May 11 03:07:03 CEST 2008
419 - (libeio) make it compile on systems without readahead or readdir_r.
420 - (libeio) improve configure check for readahead availability.
421 - do not try to link against -lrt.
422 - use a separate configure script for IO::AIO (not the libeio one).
423
4243.0 Sun May 11 00:57:14 CEST 2008
425 - added bin/treescan to the distribution.
426 - switched to using libeio.
427 - LOTS OF INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
428 - remove signal functionality, it is not worth the effort.
429 - max_outstanding no longer returns the previous number of requests.
430 - poll_cb no longer returns number of requests.
431
4322.62 Sat Apr 26 13:59:33 CEST 2008
433 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
434 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
435 - keep a reference to the perl filehandle object in aio_close,
436 so it doesn't get closed prematurely, leading to ugly races.
437
4382.61 Wed Apr 16 18:45:02 CEST 2008
439 - fix treescan output duplication and improve output ordering.
440 also display files given on the commandline.
441 - use a different algorithm for aio_close that is faster
442 and probably has even lower chances of blocking.
443 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
444 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
445 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
446 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
447 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
448
4492.6 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
450 - added aio_sync.
451 - added aio_pathsync.
452 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
453
4542.51 Sat Oct 6 16:04:54 CEST 2007
455 - perlio isn't generally threadsafe, so aio_close could not work reliably.
456 aio_close now tries a safe hack that might not be that asynchronous
457 (see the manpage for details).
458 - discard callback return values as to not grow the stack endlessly
459 when poll_cb handles many requests without returning.
460 - minor code cleanups.
461
4622.5 Thu Oct 4 14:49:08 CEST 2007
463 - replaced _fd2fh with faster xs code.
464 - aio_close will now try to do "the right thing" and thus might
465 work sensibly for the very first time.
466
4672.41 Mon Sep 24 21:28:21 CEST 2007
468 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
469 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
470 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
471 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
472
4732.4 Sun Aug 5 18:44:22 CEST 2007
474 - add aio_truncate, aio_chmod, aio_chown, aio_utime (linux
475 successfully demonstrated that you can block on futimes...).
476 - allow undef as fileoffset for aio_read/write and use read/write(2)
477 internally (useful for sockets or O_APPEND handles).
478 - allow undef for length in aio_write.
479 - negative dataoffsets work as expected now in aio_read/aio_write.
480 - use NV instead of UV for 32 bit perls and file offsets, as NVs
481 have a larger range then.
482 - shared code between BDB and IO::AIO.
483 - aio_busy was completely broken. now fixed.
484 - readahead emulation now returns something.
485 - correctly set errno to ENOSYS on unimplemented functions
486 (should never happen, though).
487 - large changes to make it partially compile and run on win32,
488 but win32 lacks too much functionality, and perl overrides way
489 too many functions with crashing versions.
490
4912.33 Tue Jan 23 23:55:41 CET 2007
492 - fix install path (Andreas J. Koenig).
493
4942.32 Mon Jan 22 16:56:23 CET 2007
495 - added aio_rmtree.
496 - wow, aio_mkdir was missing.
497 - aio_load did return undef on error, not -1.
498 - use prefixexp not prefix in autoconf.pm
499 (suggested by ... rt.cpan.org unreachable).
500 - avoid installing autoconf.pm.
501
5022.31 Sat Jan 6 03:46:02 CET 2007
503 - added aio_load.
504
5052.3 Sat Dec 23 05:48:07 CET 2006
506 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_read, causing memory corruption
507 or crashes.
508
5092.21 Fri Dec 22 05:03:38 CET 2006
510 - minor doc updates.
511 - minor cleanups.
512 - IO::AIO::poll returns request count.
513 - undocumented and unfinished async-signal-reporting.
514
5152.2 Tue Oct 31 00:31:00 CET 2006
516 - minor doc updates.
517 - added aio_readlink.
518 - properly zero-terminate aio_read buffer.
519 - fix aio_read/write with nonzero dataoffset.
520 - reduced size of aio request structure.
521 - better diagnostics when pathnames etc. are not byte-encoded;
522 do not leak request in that case, either.

72.1 Sun Oct 29 02:01:57 CET 2006 5242.1 Sun Oct 29 02:01:57 CET 2006
8 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace IO::AIO::poll_some by 525 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace IO::AIO::poll_some by
9 IO::AIO::max_poll_reqs and IO::AIO::max_poll_time. 526 IO::AIO::max_poll_reqs and IO::AIO::max_poll_time.
10 - fix a bug in aio_move where it would fail everytime 527 - fix a bug in aio_move where it would fail everytime
