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 - clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS.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. - - add aio_rmdir, aio_symlink. + - 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.
