40 - add (experimental) IO::AIO::get_fdlimit and IO::AIO::min_fdlimit.
41 - point out that aio_copy overwrites existing files.
42 - removed filesystem magic number table from aio_statvfs docs as
43 statvfs doesn't actually return this info at all (statfs does).

45 (see aio_ioctl docs).
46 - treescan now has a proper manpage and useful --help output.

56 - add IO:AIO::FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE.
57 - update schmorp.h for removal of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
58 and better eventfd detection.
59
604.34 Sun May 1 19:18:24 CEST 2016
61 - def0.h was not properly generated during previous release, causing
62 compile errors on various platforms.
63 - major/minor were accidentally switched (reported by Alexander Lishenyuk).
64 - removed duplicate definition of MAP_HUGETLB, that was found due to
65 a bug in Perl::Tidy (testcase by alaska332@gmail.com).
66 - added (untested!) aio_fcntl, aio_ioctl requests.
67 - (libeio) names set via prctl are truncated to 15 chars + nul, not 16,
68 as manpages-dev originally claimed.
69

72 - added support for FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
73 constants.
74 - added support for O_TMPFILE and O_PATH constants.
75 - added support for MAP_FIXED, MAP_GROWSDOWN,MAP_32BIT, MAP_HUGETLB, MAP_STACK
76 consdtants, whether they can be sensibly used or not.

89
904.3 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
91 - perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
92 without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
93 in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
94 compatibility - I will never understand.
95

116 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
117 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
118 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
119 as per unix spec.
120
1214.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
122 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
123 it to malfunction for paths.
124 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
125 extents.
126 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might

131 truncates segment count if a file.

141 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
142 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
143 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
144 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
145 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
