6 2.3 Sat Jul 31 13:45:51 CEST 2021
7 - store a filehandle internally so it gets perl's CLOEXEC flag as needed. also
8 gets rid of the destructor and the internal close function for added space
9 savings (reported by Eric Wong).
10 - add new ->fh accessor.
11
12 2.2 Mon Dec 9 04:09:05 CET 2019
13 - define IN_EXCL_UNLINK to 0 if it is missing, for the benefit of
14 antique systems that lack this symbol.
15
16 2.1 Fri Oct 26 03:16:03 CEST 2018
17 - damn, left debugging code not caught by tests (reported by losyme).
18
19 2.0 Thu Oct 25 03:19:08 CEST 2018
20 - fix poll and read documentation w.r.t. errors - this changes the
21 documented API, but is how the module has always behaved.
22 - mention https://lwn.net/Articles/605128/ in the docs.
23 - new on_overflow callback, called for overflow events.
24 - new ->broadcast method that calls all watchers with some event.
25 - automatically broadcast overflow events to all watchers by default.
26 - read now returns all events (except ignored ones), not just ones
27 it has registered watchers for (e.g. overflow events).
28 - reduced dependencies (Mike Pomraning).
29 - add IN_EXCL_UNLINK flag.
30 - more efficient constant initialisation.
31
32 1.22 Tue Jun 14 08:34:38 CEST 2011
33 - use a more useful definition of IN_xxx methods - any bits, not
34 a match. (pointed out by Anatoliy Grishayev).
35 - slightly reworked the documentation.
36
37 1.21 Mon Sep 21 10:07:07 CEST 2009
38 - fix a couple of typoes, as pointed out by Grant McLean.
39 - rely on common::sense for stricter namespace checking.
40
41 1.2 Tue Oct 7 19:23:57 CEST 2008
42 - include IN_DELETE_SELF in events that cancel watchers, as
43 the kernel seems to handle it this way only.
44 - require sys/inotify.h to be installed, remove the local
45 copy (patch by Adrian Bunk).
46 - update examples.
47
48 1.1 Fri Sep 29 16:40:14 CEST 2006
49 - fixed formatting.
50 - add IN_MASK_ADD, IN_DONT_FOLLOW, IN_ONLYDIR.
51 - updated inotify.h from inotify-utils for wider architecture support.
52 - no internal changes.
53
54 1.01 Tue Dec 20 12:31:16 CET 2005
55 - more fixes by Andrejs Dubovskis:
56 - removed debugging code accidentally left in.
57 - streaming API didn't always return properly blessed objects.
58
59 1.0 Mon Dec 19 17:48:01 CET 2005
60 - incorporated a major patch by Andrejs Dubovskis:
61 - added a non-callback interface to read events
62 - better error handling in non-blocking case.
63 - added test case.
64 - fix reading events leaking memory.
65
66 0.8 Sun Nov 27 13:43:14 CET 2005
67 - improved documentation.
68 - added IN_MOVE_SELF.
69 - cancel events when receiving an IN_ONESHOT event.
70 - clarify documentation for ->cookie.
71
72 0.2 Tue Aug 23 04:27:31 CEST 2005
73 - poll now really returns the #events.
74 - handle multiple cancel's gracefully.
75 - auto-cancel watchers on IN_IGNORED and IN_UNMOUNT.
76 situation with IN_ONESHOT is unclear
77 (does have no effect on 2.6.13-rc6-git13).
78 - avoid race between canceled and newly-created watches.
79 - improved documentation.
80
81 0.1 Mon Aug 22 12:05:15 CEST 2005
