10 - fix treescan output duplication and improve output ordering.
11 also display files given on the commandline.
12 - use a different algorithm for aio_close that is faster
13 and probably has even lower chances of blocking.
14 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
15 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
16 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
17 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
18 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).

202.6 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
21 - added aio_sync.
22 - added aio_pathsync.
23 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
24
252.51 Sat Oct 6 16:04:54 CEST 2007
26 - perlio isn't generally threadsafe, so aio_close could not work reliably.
27 aio_close now tries a safe hack that might not be that asynchronous
28 (see the manpage for details).
29 - discard callback return values as to not grow the stack endlessly
30 when poll_cb handles many requests without returning.
31 - minor code cleanups.
32
332.5 Thu Oct 4 14:49:08 CEST 2007
34 - replaced _fd2fh with faster xs code.
35 - aio_close will now try to do "the right thing" and thus might
36 work sensibly for the very first time.
37
382.41 Mon Sep 24 21:28:21 CEST 2007
39 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
40 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
41 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
42 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
43
442.4 Sun Aug 5 18:44:22 CEST 2007
45 - add aio_truncate, aio_chmod, aio_chown, aio_utime (linux
46 successfully demonstrated that you can block on futimes...).
47 - allow undef as fileoffset for aio_read/write and use read/write(2)
48 internally (useful for sockets or O_APPEND handles).
49 - allow undef for length in aio_write.
50 - negative dataoffsets work as expected now in aio_read/aio_write.
51 - use NV instead of UV for 32 bit perls and file offsets, as NVs
52 have a larger range then.
53 - shared code between BDB and IO::AIO.
54 - aio_busy was completely broken. now fixed.
55 - readahead emulation now returns something.
56 - correctly set errno to ENOSYS on unimplemented functions
57 (should never happen, though).
58 - large changes to make it partially compile and run on win32,
59 but win32 lacks too much functionality, and perl overrides way
60 too many functions with crashing versions.
61
622.33 Tue Jan 23 23:55:41 CET 2007
63 - fix install path (Andreas J. Koenig).
64
652.32 Mon Jan 22 16:56:23 CET 2007
66 - added aio_rmtree.
67 - wow, aio_mkdir was missing.
68 - aio_load did return undef on error, not -1.
69 - use prefixexp not prefix in autoconf.pm
70 (suggested by ... rt.cpan.org unreachable).
71 - avoid installing autoconf.pm.
72
732.31 Sat Jan 6 03:46:02 CET 2007
74 - added aio_load.

10 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_read, causing memory corruption 77 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_read, causing memory corruption
11 or crashes. 78 or crashes.
