Revision history for Perl extension File::DirSync.

1.22 Wed Aug 15 15:30:00 2007

• Allow gentleness to pause even right in the middle of a chewing copy since that can be very painful to the drive.

1.21 Thu Aug 09 22:00:00 2007

• Tweak minimum thresholds for autoincrease in order to provide more granular throttling.
• Fix initial gentle_ops boundary checking.
• Clear up a few warnings.

1.20 Wed Aug 08 15:05:00 2007

• Stable release
• Just bug fixes from v1.16.
• More accurate gentle throttling computation w/ on-the-fly auto-adjust disk ops feature.
• Versions v1.17 - v1.19 were beta tests.

1.16 Sat Aug 04 02:00:00 2007

• Disable operation tracking by default.
• Add a proctitle feature for progress monitioring.
• Moved rmtree and copy routines directly into this module for performance purposes.
• Add "gentle" feature to allow dirsync to throttle back the IO on the disks if this is desired.

1.15 Fri Jul 14 09:58:00 2006

• Avoid forcing directory timestamp to match a more future mtime of a symlink within it. This allows to cleanly detect and revert any changes made on the destination by simply running a rebuild on it (as well as the source) prior to executing the dirsync operation. Altering a symlink in any way will ALWAYS update the mtime of the containing directory inode, so this is most correct anyway.

1.14 Tue Apr 18 17:46:00 2006

• Add maxskew feature to avoid cache corruption.
• Add t/110_behave.t tester.

1.12 Tue Mar 23 17:00:00 2004

• Autoflush STDOUT if verbose is enabled.
• Force chmod to match for directories too.
• Reference the commandline utility in SEE ALSO.
• Rid the spec since cpan2rpm handles is fine.
