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 |

|
| 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 |

| 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 |

| 58 |

| 60 |

| 62 |
- better error handling in non-blocking case. |
| 63 |
- added test case. |
| 64 |

| 65 |
|
| 66 |

|
| 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. |
