26 - aio_group could corrupt memory because it didn't restore
27 the stack after req_submit.
28 - work around changes in ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
29 - (libeio) implement aio_realpath for win32.
30 - (xthread) work around compile time bugs in ptw32.
31 - added IO::AIO::pipesize.
32 - (libecb) insignificant update.
33
344.19 Sun Jan 6 12:47:26 CET 2013
35 - avoid endless loop in fiemap with some XFS files.
36 - in aio_rename and aio_rmdir, specialcase the case of [$wd, "."]
37 and call rename/rmdir instead of renameat/unlinkat.
38
394.18 Thu Oct 11 07:01:26 CEST 2012
40 - fix unintended xthread_create by intentionalising it :)
41
424.17 Thu Oct 11 05:19:47 CEST 2012
43 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
44 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
45 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
46 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
47 as per unix spec.
48
494.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
50 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
51 it to malfunction for paths.
52 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
53 extents.
54 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
55 trash fiemap input arguments.
56 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
57 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
58 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
59 truncates segment count if a file.
60 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
61 to quick overview.
62 - splice can corrupt data.
63 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
64 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
65 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.
66 - provide pread/pwrite for win32, making it link again on native win32.
67
684.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
69 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
70 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
71 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
72 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
73 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
74 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
75
764.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
77 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
78 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
79 - new request aio_seek.
80 - new request aio_fiemap.
81 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
82
834.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
84 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
85 instead of -1.
86 - port to c89.
87
884.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
89 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
90
914.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
92 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
93 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
94 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
95 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
96 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
97 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
98 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
99 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
100 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
101 in aio_scandir and treescan.
102 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
103 - added --progress switch to treescan.
104
1054.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
106 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
107 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
108 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
109 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
110 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
111 a timeout occured at the same time.
112 - (libeio) added realpath.
113 - (libeio) added fallocate.
114 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
115 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.

135 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
136 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
137 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
138 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
