10 - (libeio) make it compile on systems without readahead or readdir_r.
11 - (libeio) improve configure check for readahead availability.
12 - do not try to link against -lrt.
13 - use a separate configure script for IO::AIO (not the libeio one).
14
153.0 Sun May 11 00:57:14 CEST 2008
16 - added bin/treescan to the distribution.
17 - switched to using libeio.
18 - LOTS OF INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
19 - remove signal functionality, it is not worth the effort.
20 - max_outstanding no longer returns the previous number of requests.
21 - poll_cb no longer returns number of requests.
22
232.62 Sat Apr 26 13:59:33 CEST 2008
24 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
25 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
26 - keep a reference to the perl filehandle object in aio_close,
27 so it doesn't get closed prematurely, leading to ugly races.
28
292.61 Wed Apr 16 18:45:02 CEST 2008
30 - fix treescan output duplication and improve output ordering.
31 also display files given on the commandline.
32 - use a different algorithm for aio_close that is faster
33 and probably has even lower chances of blocking.
34 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
35 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
36 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
37 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
38 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
39
402.6 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
41 - added aio_sync.
42 - added aio_pathsync.
43 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
44
452.51 Sat Oct 6 16:04:54 CEST 2007
46 - perlio isn't generally threadsafe, so aio_close could not work reliably.
47 aio_close now tries a safe hack that might not be that asynchronous
48 (see the manpage for details).
49 - discard callback return values as to not grow the stack endlessly
50 when poll_cb handles many requests without returning.
51 - minor code cleanups.

10 - replaced _fd2fh with faster xs code. 54 - replaced _fd2fh with faster xs code.
11 - aio_close will now try to do "the right thing" and thus might 55 - aio_close will now try to do "the right thing" and thus might
12 work sensibly for the very first time. 56 work sensibly for the very first time.
