31.3 3TODO: better autoconf.pm that can return LIBS etc.
4TODO: use feeder for aio_scandir.
5TODO: -lock/unlock, +callback/etc.
6
72.0
8 - aio requests can be cancelled.
9 - callbacks can be set later.
10 - add aio_group: aio requests can be grouped.
11 - implement generator interface for groups.
12 - major documentation improvements.
13 - very minor bugfixes.
14 - add aio_nop for dummy requests.
15 - add aio_sleep mainly for benchmarking and debugging.
16 - deprecated max_outstanding.
17 - use "fast" mutexes on linux.

191.8 Sat Jun 24 22:20:44 CEST 2006
20 - add and/or document aio_rename, aio_link, aio_symlink and aio_move.
21
221.73 Wed Mar 1 22:49:32 CET 2006
23 - codename "jost"
24 - AIX/Solaris(?) aren't being helpful again, hardcode a value
25 for NAME_MAX and drive with your eyes closed (reported by
26 wcooley@nakedape.cc).
27
281.72 Thu Feb 2 00:40:44 CET 2006
29 - another minor bug in aio_scandir, again, the callback was called
30 twice when the directory can't be stat'ed.
31
321.71 Mon Dec 26 20:20:03 CET 2005
33 - grr, another minor bug in aio_scandir, this time resulting
34 in a runtime error.
35
361.7 Mon Dec 26 19:29:48 CET 2005
37 - aio_scandir errornously called callback twice in some cases.
38 - added AnyEvent example.
39
401.61 Wed Sep 7 19:40:42 CEST 2005
41 - no longer include $Config{libs}, as distros include too much
42 garbage in there that is not installed on typical systems
43 (for example, debian links perl against -lgdbm and many more
44 libraries despite perl not needing it, slowing down startup and
45 wasting memory).
46
471.6 Tue Aug 30 17:44:44 CEST 2005
48 - added aio_readdir, aio_scandir.
49 - added aio_sendfile, including sendfile emulation when sendfile
50 isn't available. Linux, FreeBSD and HP-UX might work (sendfilev
51 support is unavailable on my solaris 8 machine, but preliminary
52 code is there. What's lacking is configury stuff and testing...).
53
541.5 Sat Aug 20 02:32:19 CEST 2005
55 - create the aio threads on demand only (good after forking).
56 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should
57 be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones.
58 - abort when the configure script fails.
59
601.4 Wed Aug 17 08:07:27 CEST 2005
61 - forget to recreate the pipe after forking, this could cause
62 deadlocks.

641.3 Wed Aug 17 07:25:54 CEST 2005
4 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently 65 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
5 eating them. 66 eating them.
6 - forking while in an atfork handler is now supported, although 67 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback
7 I am pretty sure some pthread implementations will barf - don't 68 invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes.
8 fork in an AIO callback if that is a concern for you, or synchronize 69 - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong
9 for yourself by clearing the request queue first. 70 length after reading.
71 - fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests
72 from the parent.
73 - make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon
74 (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes.
75 - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write.
76 - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data
77 scalar for better error reporting.

12 - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris. 80 - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris.
13 - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to 81 - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to
