4 - forget to recreate the pipe after forking, this could cause
5 deadlocks.

71.3 Wed Aug 17 07:25:54 CEST 2005
8 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
9 eating them.
10 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback
11 invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes.
12 - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong
13 length after reading.
14 - fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests
15 from the parent.
16 - make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon
17 (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes.
18 - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write.
19 - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data
20 scalar for better error reporting.

221.2 Wed Aug 17 01:22:58 CEST 2005
23 - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris.
24 - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to
25 the external filename encoding first.
26 - fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again).
27 - clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away
28 with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS.
29 - fork'ing should now be officially supported (where linux and
30 posix contradict each other, I followed posix).
31 - only call read() once per poll, not twice (speedup).
32 - new functions: aio_rmdir, aio_symlink.
33 - force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better
34 error catching.
35
361.1 Sun Aug 7 05:27:23 CEST 2005
37 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls.
38 (imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due to missing
39 feedback yet).
40 - emulate fdatasync via fsync, pread/pwrite via unsafe read/write
41 and readahead via manual reading on platforms lacking those.
42 - ported t/03_errors.t+framework by Brad Fitzpatrick
43 from Linux::AIO.
44 - removed XOPEN_SOURCE because stupid solaris 9 doesn't
45 compile with it enabled. Probably breaks others. Oh well.
46 - try to be more careful with errno on non-threaded perls.
47 - cygwins perl insisted on a matching open mode when morphing
48 the fd to an fh.
49 - convert sv's to "byte" encoding in aio_read/aio_write. Might
50 do that for pathnames, too, in the future, so make sure you
51 properly encode your pathnames.

531.0 Fri Jul 22 10:43:30 CEST 2005
4 - aio_open did not reliably deliver filehandles. 54 - aio_open did not reliably deliver (open) filehandles.
5 - all aio_*-functions keep a reference to the filehandle so 55 - all aio_*-functions keep a reference to the filehandle so
6 it doesn't go away while the aio requests is working on it. 56 it doesn't go away while the aio requests is working on it.
7 - disable warnings in AIO.pm. 57 - disable warnings in AIO.pm.
