Revision history for Linux::AIO

This module has been mostly superseded by IO::AIO, which is API
compatible.

* works on: ia32, amd64, alpha, sparc64.
* likely works on: s390, m68k, arm.
* unlikely to work on: ia64, hppa, v850, sparc32, mips64, ppc64.

1.9
        - added patch by Nicholas Clark to force optimization,
          which is required for syscalls to be inlined on ia32.

1.8  Wed Aug 17 18:56:14 CEST 2005
        - return immediately from poll_wait if nreqs==0.
        - use <linux/unistd.h> and try to make it work.
        - replaced tests by better ones by Brad Fitzpatrick.
        - fix a bug where the data scalar would be truncated if
          the data offset is != 0.

1.71 Sun Jul 10 19:11:36 CEST 2005
        - aio_readahead was missing in 1.7.
        - xs fixes for some perls.
        - remind people to use absolute paths.
        - add reference to IO::AIO, its brother.

1.7 Sun Jul 10 01:40:00 CEST 2005
        - further cleanups and simplifications.
        - new functions: aio_fsync, aio_fdatasync, aio_readahead.
        - vastly improved documentation.

1.6 Fri Jul  8 01:17:04 CEST 2005
        - added changes for alpha, ia64, sparc64, hppa, v850 (thanks to Stefan Traby who
          dedusted his old machines).
        - added t/02_read.t.

1.51 Sat Jul  2 15:18:21 CEST 2005
        - last release was borked.
        - killing threads increases nreqs count infinitely.
        - fixed a bug in queueing => many outstanding
          requests lead to starvation.
        - new function Linux::AIO::poll_wait.
        - documented Linux::AIO::max_parallel.

1.41 Thu Mar  3 18:00:52 CET 2005
        - change of contact address.

1.4 Sat Jan 15 01:04:27 CET 2005
        - clarify licensing (same terms as perl itself).

1.3 Sat Aug  7 17:25:31 CEST 2004
        - ported to AMD64, possibly other 64 bit architecturs
          (inspired by Joshua Hoblitt).
        - removed support for old libcs, kernels (2.2).

1.2 Sun Jul 18 12:54:43 CEST 2004
        - do not clone signal handlers.
        - when the parent thread dies, kill the child threads.
        - added aio_unlink support (Brad Fitzpatrick <brad@danga.com>)

1.1 Fri May  7 02:57:36 CEST 2004
        - the number of outstanding requests was limited by the
          pipe buffer size. this limit has been removed.
        - improve documentation of min_parallel.
        - one thread will now be started by default.

1.01 Thu May  6 14:16:08 CEST 2004
        - better support threaded perls.

1.0  Wed May  5 15:54:23 CEST 2004
        - improved the documentation and made a 1.0 release. Whoopa!

0.2  Wed May  5 12:13:02 CEST 2004
        - updates for 2.6 headers (syscalls were renamed).

0.111 Sat May 18 23:47:12 CEST 2002
        - print a notice that this module won't run on lnux <2.4.

0.11 Fri May 17 04:33:23 CEST 2002
        - actually fix the module to work on x86 (doesn't work on
          most other architectures, though).

0.1  Tue Apr  2 04:35:28 CEST 2002
        - use pread/pwrite instead of lseek+read/write.
        - fixed syscall prototypes.
        - add stat/lstat calls.
        - fixed max_parallel deadlock problem.
        - beginning of a testsuite.
        - fixed aio_close.
        - paths are now properly saved.

0.011 Tue Dec 25 03:02:30 CET 2001
        - make it compile with 5.6.1 and maybe older versions. Boy is it
          ugly now.

0.01  Mon Oct  8 14:57:59 CEST 2001
        - fixed syntax errors so it compiles with gcc-2.95.4 as well.

0.002
        - added Changes, aio_open, aio_close.

0.001
        - original version, a dire hack.
