You *need* to encode your strings to + the external filename encoding first. + - fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again). + - clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away + with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS. + - fork'ing should now be officially supported (where linux and + posix contradict each other, I followed posix). + - only call read() once per poll, not twice (speedup). + - new functions: aio_rmdir, aio_symlink. + - force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better + error catching. + +1.1 Sun Aug 7 05:27:23 CEST 2005 + - added configure script to detect availability of some calls. + (imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due to missing + feedback yet). + - emulate fdatasync via fsync, pread/pwrite via unsafe read/write + and readahead via manual reading on platforms lacking those. - ported t/03_errors.t+framework by Brad Fitzpatrick from Linux::AIO. - removed XOPEN_SOURCE because stupid solaris 9 doesn't compile with it enabled. Probably breaks others. Oh well. + - try to be more careful with errno on non-threaded perls. + - cygwins perl insisted on a matching open mode when morphing + the fd to an fh. + - convert sv's to "byte" encoding in aio_read/aio_write. Might + do that for pathnames, too, in the future, so make sure you + properly encode your pathnames. 1.0 Fri Jul 22 10:43:30 CEST 2005 - aio_open did not reliably deliver (open) filehandles.
