3 TODO: maybe add mincore support? available on at least darwin, solaris, linux, freebsd
4 TODO: openbsd requires stdint.h for intptr_t - why posix?
5
6 TODO: make mtouch/readdir maybe others cancellable in-request
7 TODO: fadvise request
8 TODO: fdopendir/utimensat
9 1.0
10 - fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
11 a timeout occured at the same time.
12 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
13 - use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
14 - fix a path-memory-leak in readdir when using the wrappers
15 (reported by Thomas L. Shinnick).
16 - support a max_idle value of 0.
17 - support setting of idle timeout value (eio_set_idle_timeout).
18 - readdir: correctly handle malloc failures.
19 - readdir: new flags argument, can return inode
20 and possibly filetype, can sort in various ways.
21 - readdir: stop immediately when cancelled, do
22 not continue reading the directory.
23 - fix return value of eio_sendfile_sync.
24 - include sys/mman.h for msync.
25 - added EIO_STACKSIZE.
26 - added msync, mtouch support (untested).
27 - added sync_file_range (untested).
28 - fixed custom support.
29 - use a more robust feed-add detection method.
30 - "outbundled" from IO::AIO.
31 - eio_set_max_polltime did not properly convert time to ticks.
32 - tentatively support darwin in sendfile.
33 - fix freebsd/darwin sendfile.
34 - also use sendfile emulation for ENOTSUP and EOPNOTSUPP
35 error codes.
36 - add OS-independent EIO_MT_* and EIO_MS_* flag enums.
37 - add eio_statvfs/eio_fstatvfs.
38 - add eio_mlock/eio_mlockall and OS-independent MCL_* flag enums.
39 - no longer set errno to 0 before making syscalls, this only lures
40 people into the trap of believing errno shows success or failure.
41 - "fix" demo.c so that it works as non-root.
42 - suppoert utimes seperately from futimes, as some systems have
43 utimes but not futimes.
44 - use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE for mlock.
45 - do not (errornously) overwrite CFLAGS in configure.ac.
46 - mknod used int3 for dev_t (ยง2 bit), not offs (64 bit).
47 - fix memory corruption in eio_readdirx for the flags
48 combination EIO_READDIR_STAT_ORDER | EIO_READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
49 - port to openbsd (another blatantly broken non-UNIX/POSIX platform).
50 - fix eio_custom prototype.
51 - work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other kernels) bug
52 where sendfile would not transfer all the requested bytes on
53 large transfers, using a heuristic.
54 - use libecb, and apply lots of minor space optimisations.
55 - disable sendfile on darwin, broken as everything else.
56 - add realpath request and implementation.
57 - cancelled requests will still invoke their request callbacks.
58 - add fallocate.
59 - do not acquire any locks when forking.
60 - incorporated some mingw32 changes by traviscline.
61 - added syncfs support, using direct syscall.
62 - set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
63 - remove useless use of volatile variables.
64 - fix memory leak when reaping threads.
65 - use utime now uses nanosecond resolution on posix 2008 systems.
66 - allow taking advantage of posix 2008 xxxat functions and fdopendir
67 by implementing a working directory abstraction.
