49 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::get_fdlimit and IO::AIO::min_fdlimit.
50 - point out that aio_copy overwrites existing files.
51 - removed filesystem magic number table from aio_statvfs docs as
52 statvfs doesn't actually return this info at all (statfs does).

67 and better eventfd detection.
68
694.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
70 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
71 compile errors on various platforms.
72 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
73 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
74 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
75 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
76 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,

78
794.33 Mon Jan 18 12:50:10 CET 2016
80 - add IO::AIO::pipe2 function.
81 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
82 constants.
83 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.

964.31 Tue Jun 3 03:29:27 CEST 2014
97 - work around more 5.20 bugs. backwards compatibility my ass.
98
994.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
100 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
101 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
102 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
103 compatibility - I will never understand.
104
1054.2 Sat Jan 25 01:13:14 CET 2014
106 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
107 the stack after req_submit.
108 - be more careful on (e.g. permission) errors in bin/treescan.
109 - work around changes in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
110 - (libeio) implement aio_realpath for win32.
111 - (xthread) work around compile time bugs in ptw32.

116 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
117 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]

119
1204.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
121 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
122
1234.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
124 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
125 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
126 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
127 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
128 as per unix spec.
129
1304.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
131 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
132 it to malfunction for paths.
133 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
134 extents.
135 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
136 trash fiemap input arguments.
137 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
138 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
139 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
140 truncates segment count if a file.
141 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
142 to quick overview.
143 - splice can corrupt data.
144 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
145 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
146 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.
147 - provide pread/pwrite for win32, making it link again on native win32.
148
1494.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
150 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
151 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
152 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
153 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
154 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
155 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
156
1574.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
158 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
159 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
160 - new request aio_seek.
161 - new request aio_fiemap.
162 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
163
1644.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
165 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
166 instead of -1.
167 - port to c89.
168
1694.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
170 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
171
1724.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
173 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
174 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
175 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
176 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
177 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
178 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
179 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
180 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
181 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
182 in aio_scandir and treescan.
183 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
184 - added --progress switch to treescan.
185
1864.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
187 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
188 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
189 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
190 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
191 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
192 a timeout occured at the same time.
193 - (libeio) added realpath.
194 - (libeio) added fallocate.
195 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
196 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
197 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
198
1993.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
200 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
201
2023.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
203 - ecb.h was missing.
204
2053.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
206 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
207 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
208 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
209 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
210 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
211 transferred...)
212 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
213 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
214 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
215 pthread and fork in perl.
216 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
217 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
218 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
219 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
220
2213.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
222 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
223 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
224 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
225 flags.
226
2273.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
228 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
229 - support a max_idle value of 0.
230 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
231
2323.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
233 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
234 - aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
235 - new treescan option: --grep.
236 - add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
237
2383.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
239 - the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
240 correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
241 - actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
242 _POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
243 funcitonality. ugh.
244
2453.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
246 - implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
247 aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
248 - document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
249 - do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
250 (openbsd 4.8).
251 - do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
252 had string-data.
253 - add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
254 them.
255 - cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
256 - croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
257 user-errors better.
258 - fix aio_readlink prototype.
259
2603.65 Wed Mar 31 02:45:05 CEST 2010
261 - actually use PATH_MAX instead of NAME_MAX for readlink, as to not
262 cut off long pathnames in aio_readlink (based on patch by
263 Rasmus Andersson).
264 - a double fork partially killed the event pipe (great testcase
265 by dormando). affects IO::AIO, BDB and Async::Interrupt.
266 - suck steve's dick and rename our symbols to avoid colliding
267 with nonstandard identifier spam on the broken os x pseudo-os.
268 affects IO::AIO and BDB.
269
2703.6 Mon Jan 11 00:43:39 CET 2010
271 - (libeio) more fixes for the freebsd/apple sendfile - broken by
272 manpage standards, but apparently correct accoridng to actual
273 kernel sources.
274 - add IO::AIO::mmap/munmap support.
275 - add IO::AIO::m(un)lockall support.
276 - clean up manpage.
277
2783.5 Thu Jan 7 21:25:04 CET 2010
279 - (liebio) fix freebsd sendfile (Vanilla Hsu).
280 - (libeio) also fix darwin sendfile that suffered from a similar bug.
281 - add aio_statvfs as interface to statvfs/fstatvfs.
282 - work around buggy symlink() on cygwin in the testsuite.
283 - wtf. freebsd-8.0 actually passes the testsuite! I knew
284 they could implement fork and semaphores one day! cheers!
285
2863.4 Sat Jan 2 15:13:04 CET 2010
287 - (libeio) max_poll_time was not properly converted to ticks.
288 - clarify cancel_subs description.
289 - IO::AIO::sendfile did not actually return the return value
290 from the sendfile call.
291 - implement aio_msync, aio_mtouch.
292 - (libeio) tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
293
2943.31 Thu Nov 12 02:14:29 CET 2009
295 - fix result status documentation of aio_copy, aio_move.
296 - speed up object creation considerably by avoiding
297 hash lookups.
298
2993.3 Wed Aug 5 13:52:58 CEST 2009
300 - use common::sense.
301 - use common schmorp.h header.
302 - allow integers (file descriptors) in addition to file handles.
303 - take advantage of linux' eventfd (but it seems slower on smp?).
304 - use poll not select on posix platforms.
305
3063.261 Wed Jul 1 10:11:51 CEST 2009
307 - more 0S X workarounds (patch by Tokuhiro Matsuno).
308
3093.26 Tue Jun 30 09:33:26 CEST 2009
310 - 0S X of course claims to be posix 2008 but lacks posix_fadvise.
311 try to work around this horribly broken OS in a somewhat hackish
312 way. might help other os's too.
313
3143.25 Sat Jun 27 05:18:26 CEST 2009
315 - added IO::AIO::fadvise and IO::AIO::sendfile.
316 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
317 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
318 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
319 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
320 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
321 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
322 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
323 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
324 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
325 but should not have been.
326 - use more correct types (change IO length from IV to VAL64,
327 which makes a difference on systems without 64 bit perls).
328
3293.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
330 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
331 rushed 3.22 release.
332
3333.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
334 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
335 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
336
3373.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
338 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
339 - install bin/treescan by default.
340 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
341 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
342 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
343 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
344 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
345 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
346 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
347
3483.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
349 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
350 not restore the file offset.
351 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
352 the names in various ways.
353 - unfortunately, utime, chmod, chown on an open file that has just
354 been written can easily block, which caused aio_copy to block the
355 process. no more!
356 - no longer rely on dst path in aio_copy when futime is available.
357
3583.19 Tue Apr 21 22:05:21 CEST 2009
359 - more perl 5.10 workarounds for aio_read and write.
360 - aio_write no longer modifies the sv (if possible).
361 - aio_read now works correctly with magic values.
362
3633.18 Sun Apr 19 21:17:32 CEST 2009
364 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh.
365 - try to avoid crashes due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. grmbl.
366
3673.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008
368 - (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested).
369 - add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ.
370
3713.16 Wed Oct 22 18:28:01 CEST 2008
372 - use SvREFCNT_inc instead of SvREFCNT_inc_NN in a non-speed critical
373 part to improve portability to perl 5.8 (reported by szymon).
374
3753.15 Mon Oct 13 00:39:55 CEST 2008
376 - automatic removal of feeders was broken.
377 - (libeio) use a more robust method to detect whether a feeder
378 has added something to the group or not.
379
3803.1 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
381 - pre-deref the passed callback object, for increased speed
382 and decreased memory usage.
383 - call on_next_submit callback even for aio_group - impact unknown,
384 but seems more correct.
385 - $req->cb now returns the original callback.
386 - (libeio) pass EIO_GROUP/aio_group requests through the queue without
387 requiring a thread switch.
388 - (libeio) status code of aio_futime and aio_utime was always passed 0.
389 - do some other ยต-optimisations.
390
3913.07 Sat Aug 2 16:06:13 CEST 2008
392 - do not include LIBS in autoconf tests.
393
3943.06 Tue Jul 15 12:41:32 CEST 2008
395 - move preadwritelock definition before it's first reference,
396 to make it compile again on broken platforms (they still exist)
397 or badly cofngiured perls (redhat...), reported by Rob Bloodgood.
398
3993.05 Thu Jun 19 23:23:52 CEST 2008
400 - work around perl overriding readdir etc. with thread-unsafe
401 (sic!) versions.
402
4033.04 Wed Jun 18 01:35:38 CEST 2008
404 - (libeio) fix eio_mknod, which confused it's arguments.
405 - (libeio) do not use readdir_r, as Ulrich Drepper pointed out that this
406 is stupid.
407 - (libeio) fix eio__readahead prototype, patch by Jost Krieger.
408 - (libeio) fix a bug that could potentially cause IO::AIO
409 not to get initialised properly.

4113.03 Thu May 29 05:33:30 CEST 2008
412 - (libeio) correctly call pthread_attr_destroy ().
413 - (libeio) work around broken bsd headers once more.
414 - reduce shared library size again by not including wrappers.
415 - max_outstanding could cause poll to enter a busy-waiting loop.
416 - document the new IO::AIO::poll_cb result value.
417
4183.02 Mon May 12 02:32:02 CEST 2008
419 - fix a memory leak on aio_readlink.
420 - bring back working fchmod.
421 - nop and busy now set result to 0.
422 - set errno to ENOMEM when allocation fails.
423
4243.01 Sun May 11 03:07:03 CEST 2008
425 - (libeio) make it compile on systems without readahead or readdir_r.
426 - (libeio) improve configure check for readahead availability.
427 - do not try to link against -lrt.
428 - use a separate configure script for IO::AIO (not the libeio one).
429
4303.0 Sun May 11 00:57:14 CEST 2008
431 - added bin/treescan to the distribution.
432 - switched to using libeio.
433 - LOTS OF INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
434 - remove signal functionality, it is not worth the effort.
435 - max_outstanding no longer returns the previous number of requests.
436 - poll_cb no longer returns number of requests.
437
4382.62 Sat Apr 26 13:59:33 CEST 2008
439 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
440 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
441 - keep a reference to the perl filehandle object in aio_close,
442 so it doesn't get closed prematurely, leading to ugly races.
443
4442.61 Wed Apr 16 18:45:02 CEST 2008
445 - fix treescan output duplication and improve output ordering.
446 also display files given on the commandline.
447 - use a different algorithm for aio_close that is faster
448 and probably has even lower chances of blocking.
449 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
450 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
451 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
452 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
453 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
454
4552.6 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
456 - added aio_sync.
457 - added aio_pathsync.
458 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
459
4602.51 Sat Oct 6 16:04:54 CEST 2007
461 - perlio isn't generally threadsafe, so aio_close could not work reliably.
462 aio_close now tries a safe hack that might not be that asynchronous
463 (see the manpage for details).
464 - discard callback return values as to not grow the stack endlessly
465 when poll_cb handles many requests without returning.
466 - minor code cleanups.
467
4682.5 Thu Oct 4 14:49:08 CEST 2007
469 - replaced _fd2fh with faster xs code.
470 - aio_close will now try to do "the right thing" and thus might
471 work sensibly for the very first time.
472
4732.41 Mon Sep 24 21:28:21 CEST 2007
474 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
475 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
476 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
477 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
478
4792.4 Sun Aug 5 18:44:22 CEST 2007
480 - add aio_truncate, aio_chmod, aio_chown, aio_utime (linux
481 successfully demonstrated that you can block on futimes...).
482 - allow undef as fileoffset for aio_read/write and use read/write(2)
483 internally (useful for sockets or O_APPEND handles).
484 - allow undef for length in aio_write.
485 - negative dataoffsets work as expected now in aio_read/aio_write.
486 - use NV instead of UV for 32 bit perls and file offsets, as NVs
487 have a larger range then.
488 - shared code between BDB and IO::AIO.
489 - aio_busy was completely broken. now fixed.
490 - readahead emulation now returns something.
491 - correctly set errno to ENOSYS on unimplemented functions
492 (should never happen, though).
493 - large changes to make it partially compile and run on win32,
494 but win32 lacks too much functionality, and perl overrides way
495 too many functions with crashing versions.
496
4972.33 Tue Jan 23 23:55:41 CET 2007
498 - fix install path (Andreas J. Koenig).
499
5002.32 Mon Jan 22 16:56:23 CET 2007
501 - added aio_rmtree.
502 - wow, aio_mkdir was missing.
503 - aio_load did return undef on error, not -1.
504 - use prefixexp not prefix in autoconf.pm
505 (suggested by ... rt.cpan.org unreachable).
506 - avoid installing autoconf.pm.
507
5082.31 Sat Jan 6 03:46:02 CET 2007
509 - added aio_load.
510
5112.3 Sat Dec 23 05:48:07 CET 2006
512 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_read, causing memory corruption
513 or crashes.
514
5152.21 Fri Dec 22 05:03:38 CET 2006
516 - minor doc updates.
517 - minor cleanups.
518 - IO::AIO::poll returns request count.
519 - undocumented and unfinished async-signal-reporting.
520
5212.2 Tue Oct 31 00:31:00 CET 2006
522 - minor doc updates.
523 - added aio_readlink.
524 - properly zero-terminate aio_read buffer.
525 - fix aio_read/write with nonzero dataoffset.
526 - reduced size of aio request structure.
527 - better diagnostics when pathnames etc. are not byte-encoded;
528 do not leak request in that case, either.
6 529
72.1 Sun Oct 29 02:01:57 CET 2006 5302.1 Sun Oct 29 02:01:57 CET 2006
8 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace IO::AIO::poll_some by 531 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace IO::AIO::poll_some by
9 IO::AIO::max_poll_reqs and IO::AIO::max_poll_time. 532 IO::AIO::max_poll_reqs and IO::AIO::max_poll_time.
10 - fix a bug in aio_move where it would fail everytime 533 - fix a bug in aio_move where it would fail everytime
