31.3 3 - aio_scandir errornously called callback twice in some cases.
4 - added AnyEvent example.

61.61 Wed Sep 7 19:40:42 CEST 2005
7 - no longer include $Config{libs}, as distros include too much
8 garbage in there that is not installed on typical systems
9 (for example, debian links perl against -lgdbm and many more
10 libraries despite perl not needing it, slowing down startup and
11 wasting memory).

131.6 Tue Aug 30 17:44:44 CEST 2005
14 - added aio_readdir, aio_scandir.
15 - added aio_sendfile, including sendfile emulation when sendfile
16 isn't available. Linux, FreeBSD and HP-UX might work (sendfilev
17 support is unavailable on my solaris 8 machine, but preliminary
18 code is there. What's lacking is configury stuff and testing...).

201.5 Sat Aug 20 02:32:19 CEST 2005
21 - create the aio threads on demand only (good after forking).
22 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should
23 be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones.
24 - abort when the configure script fails.

261.4 Wed Aug 17 08:07:27 CEST 2005
27 - forget to recreate the pipe after forking, this could cause
28 deadlocks.

6 - be more careful during fork and allow recursive forks from within 33 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback
7 atfork handlers *iff* the pthreads library in use allows it. 34 invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes.

13 (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes. 40 (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes.
14 - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write. 41 - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write.
42 - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data
43 scalar for better error reporting.
