14TODO: remove fork support, eio_init can be called multiple times maybe 13 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on files without any
15TODO: "this might change" - no wrklock for malloc, no automatic free in child. 14 extents.
164.0 15 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
16 trash fiemap input arguments.
17 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
18 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
19 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
20 to quick overview.
21 - splice can corrupt data.
22 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
23 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
24 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.
25
264.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
27 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
28 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
29 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
30 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
31 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
32 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
33
344.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
35 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
36 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
37 - new request aio_seek.
38 - new request aio_fiemap.
39 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.

414.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
42 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
43 instead of -1.
44 - port to c89.

464.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
47 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
48
494.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
50 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
51 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
52 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
53 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
54 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
55 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
56 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
57 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
58 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
59 in aio_scandir and treescan.
60 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
61 - added --progress switch to treescan.

17 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was), 64 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
18 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details. 65 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
19 - passes testsuite on win32 now (activetstate 5.10.1). 66 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
67 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
20 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when 68 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
21 a timeout occured at the same time. 69 a timeout occured at the same time.
