72.0 92.4
10 - fix aio_busy w.r.t. fractional delays.
11 - add aio_chmod, aio_chown, aio_utime (linux successfully demonstrated
12 that you can block on futimes...).
13 - allow undef as fileoffset for aio_read/write and use read/write(2)
14 internally (useful for sockets or O_APPEND handles).
15 - use NV instead of UV for 32 bit perls and file offsets, as NVs
16 have a larger range then.
17 - shared code between BDB and IO::AIO.
18 - correctly set errno to ENOSYS on unimplemented functions
19 (should never happen, though).

212.33 Tue Jan 23 23:55:41 CET 2007
22 - fix install path (Andreas J. Koenig).
23
242.32 Mon Jan 22 16:56:23 CET 2007
25 - added aio_rmtree.
26 - wow, aio_mkdir was missing.
27 - aio_load did return undef on error, not -1.
28 - use prefixexp not prefix in autoconf.pm
29 (suggested by ... rt.cpan.org unreachable).
30 - avoid installing autoconf.pm.
31
322.31 Sat Jan 6 03:46:02 CET 2007
33 - added aio_load.
34
352.3 Sat Dec 23 05:48:07 CET 2006
36 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_read, causing memory corruption
37 or crashes.

392.21 Fri Dec 22 05:03:38 CET 2006
40 - minor doc updates.
41 - minor cleanups.
42 - IO::AIO::poll returns request count.
43 - undocumented and unfinished async-signal-reporting.
44
452.2 Tue Oct 31 00:31:00 CET 2006
46 - minor doc updates.
47 - added aio_readlink.
48 - properly zero-terminate aio_read buffer.
49 - fix aio_read/write with nonzero dataoffset.
50 - reduced size of aio request structure.
51 - better diagnostics when pathnames etc. are not byte-encoded;
52 do not leak request in that case, either.
53
542.1 Sun Oct 29 02:01:57 CET 2006
55 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace IO::AIO::poll_some by
56 IO::AIO::max_poll_reqs and IO::AIO::max_poll_time.
57 - fix a bug in aio_move where it would fail everytime
58 it would have to copy files manually.
59 - doc updates.
60 - start threads only on (very low) demand.
61 - end superfluous threads automatically after 10s idling.
62 - add IO::AIO::max_idle to control this.
63 - some tuning applied to random places.
64 - add aio_mknod.
65
662.0 Thu Oct 26 18:27:58 CEST 2006
67 - minor incompatibility: max_outstanding semantics have changed.
68 - major rewrite, consider all functionality EXPERIMENTAL.
8 - aio requests can be cancelled. 69 - aio requests can be cancelled.
9 - callbacks can be set later. 70 - callbacks can be (re-)set later.
71 - aio requests can choose between 9 priorities.
10 - add aio_group: aio requests can be grouped. 72 - add aio_group: aio requests can be grouped
73 into composite requests.
11 - implement generator interface for groups. 74 - generator interface for groups.
75 - add IO::AIO::poll_some.
12 - major documentation improvements. 76 - major documentation improvements.
13 - very minor bugfixes. 77 - very minor bugfixes.
14 - add aio_nop for dummy requests. 78 - add aio_nop for dummy requests.
15 - add aio_sleep mainly for benchmarking and debugging. 79 - add aio_busy mainly for benchmarking and debugging.
16 - deprecated max_outstanding. 80 - use "fast" mutexes on linux.
81 - use dynamic (and larger) buffers instead of
82 putting them onto the stack.
83 - optimise x86 and amd64 a bit.
84 - better error checking when ENOMEM.
85 - hopefully fix mem and dirp leaks on fork.
86 - warn about broken perl malloc.
87 - compiles on cygwin (but pread is broken on cygwin
88 which is not detected by autoconf, so you have to
89 edit autoconf/config.h yourself to enable emulation).
