Changes from previous:
4.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
- libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
4.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
- IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
- (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
- (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
- (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
- applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
- tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
- reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
- take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
in aio_scandir and treescan.
- reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
- added --progress switch to treescan.
4.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
- passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
(activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
- (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
a timeout occured at the same time.
- (libeio) added realpath.
- (libeio) added fallocate.
- (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
- (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
- (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
3.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
- ECB.H WAS MISSING.
3.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
- ecb.h was missing.
3.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
- (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
- buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
transferred...)
- use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
- (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
- disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
pthread and fork in perl.
- document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
- increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
3.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
- (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
- add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
flags.
3.8 Sun Mar 27 12:25:33 CEST 2011
- use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
- support a max_idle value of 0.
- support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
3.72 Fri Feb 11 04:25:38 CET 2011
- use _POSIX_MEMLOCK_RANGE to detect mlock/munlock.
- aio_mknod always used a dev_t value of 0.
- new treescan option: --grep.
- add more S_IF macros, and major/minor/makedev "macros".
3.71 Thu Dec 30 08:18:46 CET 2010
- the numerical result value passed to callbacks did not stringify
correctly, due to internal reuse and failure to reset the sv flags.
- actually test for posix_[mf]advise, as at least uClibc defines
_POSIX_ADVISORY_INFO without actually having any of the required
funcitonality. ugh.
3.7 Mon Nov 1 23:00:34 CET 2010
- implement/add madvise, mmap, munmap, aio_mlockall, munlockall,
aio_mlock, munlock, msync and mtouch to @EXPORT_OK.
- document the sad state of affairs w.r.t. pthread on many bsds.
- do not enable mmap on systems without _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES
(openbsd 4.8).
- do not leak memory in IO::AIO::mmap when the scalar already
had string-data.
- add O_RDWR, O_APPEND and O_EXCL symbols and semi-document
them.
- cache the result IV, for a minor speedup in the common case.
- croak when an mmapped-scalar changes location, to detect
user-errors better.
- fix aio_readlink prototype.
