3 | TODO: revisit 59.x timer in the light of modern powersaving |
|
|
4 | TODO: ^ maybe just increase it when timerfd, modern linux only thing that counts? |
|
|
5 | TODO: document EV_TSTAMP_T |
|
|
6 | TODO: for next ABI/API change, consider moving EV__IOFDSSET into io->fd instead and provide a getter. |
|
|
7 | |
|
|
8 | TODO: add ev_io_set_events, or ev_io_modify, or ev_io_change, or..., without IOFDSET |
|
|
9 | TODO: fix documentation of read-only] [read-write] and so on |
|
|
10 | TODO: maybe allow events = 0 for io watchers |
|
|
11 | - the 4.31 timerfd code wrongly changes the priority of the signal |
|
|
12 | fd watcher, which is usually harmless unless signal fds are |
|
|
13 | also used (found via cpan tester service). |
|
|
14 | - do not wake up every minute when timerfd is used to detect timejumps. |
|
|
15 | - support a lot more "uncommon" compile time configurations, |
|
|
16 | such as ev_embed enabled but ev_timer disabled. |
|
|
17 | - the linux aio backend is no longer compiled in by default. |
|
|
18 | - update to libecb version 0x00010008. |
|
|
19 | |
|
|
20 | 4.31 Fri Dec 20 21:58:29 CET 2019 |
|
|
21 | - handle backends with minimum wait time a bit better by not |
|
|
22 | waiting in the presence of already-expired timers |
|
|
23 | (behaviour reported by Felipe Gasper). |
|
|
24 | - new feature: use timerfd to detect timejumps quickly, |
|
|
25 | can be disabled with the new EVFLAG_NOTIMERFD loop flag. |
|
|
26 | - document EV_USE_SIGNALFD feature macro. |
|
|
27 | |
|
|
28 | 4.30 (EV only) |
|
|
29 | - change non-autoconf test for __kernel_rwf_t by testing |
|
|
30 | LINUX_VERSION_CODE, the most direct test I could find. |
|
|
31 | - fix a bug in the io_uring backend that polled the wrong |
|
|
32 | backend fd, causing it to not work in many cases. |
|
|
33 | |
|
|
34 | 4.29 (EV only) |
|
|
35 | - add io uring autoconf and non-autoconf detection. |
|
|
36 | - disable io_uring when some header files are too old. |
|
|
37 | |
|
|
38 | 4.28 (EV only) |
|
|
39 | - linuxaio backend resulted in random memory corruption |
|
|
40 | when loop is forked. |
|
|
41 | - linuxaio backend might have tried to cancel an iocb |
|
|
42 | multiple times (was unable to trigger this). |
|
|
43 | - linuxaio backend now employs a generation counter to |
|
|
44 | avoid handling spurious events from cancelled requests. |
|
|
45 | - io_cancel can return EINTR, deal with it. also, assume |
|
|
46 | io_submit also returns EINTR. |
|
|
47 | - fix some other minor bugs in linuxaio backend. |
|
|
48 | - ev_tstamp type can now be overriden by defining EV_TSTAMP_T. |
|
|
49 | - cleanup: replace expect_true/false and noinline by their |
|
|
50 | libecb counterparts. |
|
|
51 | - move syscall infrastructure from ev_linuxaio.c to ev.c. |
|
|
52 | - prepare io_uring integration. |
|
|
53 | - tweak ev_floor. |
|
|
54 | - epoll, poll, win32 Sleep and other places that use millisecond |
|
|
55 | reslution now all try to round up times. |
|
|
56 | - solaris port backend didn't compile. |
|
|
57 | - abstract time constants into their macros, for more flexibility. |
|
|
58 | |
|
|
59 | 4.27 Thu Jun 27 22:43:44 CEST 2019 |
|
|
60 | - linux aio backend almost completely rewritten to work around its |
|
|
61 | limitations. |
|
|
62 | - linux aio backend now requires linux 4.19+. |
|
|
63 | - epoll backend now mandatory for linux aio backend. |
|
|
64 | - fail assertions more aggressively on invalid fd's detected |
|
|
65 | in the event loop, do not just silently fd_kill in case of |
|
|
66 | user error. |
|
|
67 | - ev_io_start/ev_io_stop now verify the watcher fd using |
|
|
68 | a syscall when EV_VERIFY is 2 or higher. |
|
|
69 | |
|
|
70 | 4.26 (EV only) |
|
|
71 | - update to libecb 0x00010006. |
|
|
72 | - new experimental linux aio backend (linux 4.18+). |
|
|
73 | - removed redundant 0-ptr check in ev_once. |
|
|
74 | - updated/extended ev_set_allocator documentation. |
|
|
75 | - replaced EMPTY2 macro by array_needsize_noinit. |
|
|
76 | - minor code cleanups. |
|
|
77 | - epoll backend now uses epoll_create1 also after fork. |
