5 - added aio_readdir.
6 - added aio_sendfile, including sendfile emulation when sendfile
7 isn't available. Linux, FreeBSD and HP-UX might work (sendfilev
8 support is unavailable on my solaris 8 machine, but preliminary
9 code is there. What's lacking is configury stuff and testing...).

12 - create the aio threads on demand only (good after forking).
13 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should
14 be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones.
15 - abort when the configure script fails.

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

211.3 Wed Aug 17 07:25:54 CEST 2005
22 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
23 eating them.
24 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback
25 invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes.
26 - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong
27 length after reading.
28 - fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests
29 from the parent.
30 - make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon
31 (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes.
32 - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write.
33 - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data
34 scalar for better error reporting.

37 - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris.
38 - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to
39 the external filename encoding first.
40 - fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again).
41 - clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away
42 with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS.
43 - fork'ing should now be officially supported (where linux and
44 posix contradict each other, I followed posix).
45 - only call read() once per poll, not twice (speedup).
46 - new functions: aio_rmdir, aio_symlink.
47 - force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better
48 error catching.

6 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls. 51 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls.
