9 - (libeio) do not use readdir_r, as Ulrich Drepper pointed out that this
10 is stupid.
11
123.03 Thu May 29 05:33:30 CEST 2008
13 - (libeio) correctly call pthread_attr_destroy ().
14 - (libeio) work around broken bsd headers once more.
15 - reduce shared library size again by not including wrappers.
16 - max_outstanding could cause poll to enter a busy-waiting loop.
17 - document the new IO::AIO::poll_cb result value.
18
193.02 Mon May 12 02:32:02 CEST 2008
20 - fix a memory leak on aio_readlink.
21 - bring back working fchmod.
22 - nop and busy now set result to 0.
23 - set errno to ENOMEM when allocation fails.
24
253.01 Sun May 11 03:07:03 CEST 2008
26 - (libeio) make it compile on systems without readahead or readdir_r.
27 - (libeio) improve configure check for readahead availability.
28 - do not try to link against -lrt.
29 - use a separate configure script for IO::AIO (not the libeio one).
30
313.0 Sun May 11 00:57:14 CEST 2008
32 - added bin/treescan to the distribution.
33 - switched to using libeio.
34 - LOTS OF INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
35 - remove signal functionality, it is not worth the effort.
36 - max_outstanding no longer returns the previous number of requests.
37 - poll_cb no longer returns number of requests.
38
392.62 Sat Apr 26 13:59:33 CEST 2008
40 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
41 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
42 - keep a reference to the perl filehandle object in aio_close,
43 so it doesn't get closed prematurely, leading to ugly races.
44
452.61 Wed Apr 16 18:45:02 CEST 2008
46 - fix treescan output duplication and improve output ordering.
47 also display files given on the commandline.
48 - use a different algorithm for aio_close that is faster
49 and probably has even lower chances of blocking.
50 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
51 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
52 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
53 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
54 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
55
562.6 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
57 - added aio_sync.
58 - added aio_pathsync.
59 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
60
612.51 Sat Oct 6 16:04:54 CEST 2007
62 - perlio isn't generally threadsafe, so aio_close could not work reliably.
63 aio_close now tries a safe hack that might not be that asynchronous
64 (see the manpage for details).
65 - discard callback return values as to not grow the stack endlessly
66 when poll_cb handles many requests without returning.
67 - minor code cleanups.

10 - replaced _fd2fh with faster xs code. 70 - replaced _fd2fh with faster xs code.
