10 - port to solaris perls configured for old posix
11 (analysed by Jost Krieger).
12 - keep a reference to the perl filehandle object in aio_close,
13 so it doesn't get closed prematurely, leading to ugly races.
14
152.61 Wed Apr 16 18:45:02 CEST 2008
16 - fix treescan output duplication and improve output ordering.
17 also display files given on the commandline.
18 - use a different algorithm for aio_close that is faster
19 and probably has even lower chances of blocking.
20 - do our own stack memory management for threads - linux
21 allocates outrageous amounts of VM (not so bad unless you
22 use mlockall...), which severely limits the number of threads
23 on 32-bit arches: stack size is the larger of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
24 and 4096 * sizeof (long) (usually this is 16..64k).
25
262.6 Sun Mar 30 08:28:11 CEST 2008
27 - added aio_sync.
28 - added aio_pathsync.
29 - fix prototypes of (void) functions.
30
312.51 Sat Oct 6 16:04:54 CEST 2007
32 - perlio isn't generally threadsafe, so aio_close could not work reliably.
33 aio_close now tries a safe hack that might not be that asynchronous
34 (see the manpage for details).
35 - discard callback return values as to not grow the stack endlessly
36 when poll_cb handles many requests without returning.
37 - minor code cleanups.
38
392.5 Thu Oct 4 14:49:08 CEST 2007
40 - replaced _fd2fh with faster xs code.
41 - aio_close will now try to do "the right thing" and thus might
42 work sensibly for the very first time.
43
442.41 Mon Sep 24 21:28:21 CEST 2007
45 - after fork, invest some work to make sure that the poll_fileno
46 stays stable (by dup2'ing the new fd over the old one), to make
47 it easier for programs/libs that don't control their forking
48 behaviour and cannot recreate their watchers.
49
502.4 Sun Aug 5 18:44:22 CEST 2007
51 - add aio_truncate, aio_chmod, aio_chown, aio_utime (linux
52 successfully demonstrated that you can block on futimes...).
53 - allow undef as fileoffset for aio_read/write and use read/write(2)
54 internally (useful for sockets or O_APPEND handles).
55 - allow undef for length in aio_write.
56 - negative dataoffsets work as expected now in aio_read/aio_write.
57 - use NV instead of UV for 32 bit perls and file offsets, as NVs
58 have a larger range then.
59 - shared code between BDB and IO::AIO.
60 - aio_busy was completely broken. now fixed.
61 - readahead emulation now returns something.
62 - correctly set errno to ENOSYS on unimplemented functions
63 (should never happen, though).
64 - large changes to make it partially compile and run on win32,
65 but win32 lacks too much functionality, and perl overrides way
66 too many functions with crashing versions.
67
682.33 Tue Jan 23 23:55:41 CET 2007
69 - fix install path (Andreas J. Koenig).
70
712.32 Mon Jan 22 16:56:23 CET 2007
72 - added aio_rmtree.
73 - wow, aio_mkdir was missing.
74 - aio_load did return undef on error, not -1.
75 - use prefixexp not prefix in autoconf.pm
76 (suggested by ... rt.cpan.org unreachable).
77 - avoid installing autoconf.pm.
78
792.31 Sat Jan 6 03:46:02 CET 2007
80 - added aio_load.
81
822.3 Sat Dec 23 05:48:07 CET 2006
83 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_read, causing memory corruption
84 or crashes.
85
862.21 Fri Dec 22 05:03:38 CET 2006
87 - minor doc updates.
88 - minor cleanups.
89 - IO::AIO::poll returns request count.
90 - undocumented and unfinished async-signal-reporting.

9 - minor doc updates. 93 - minor doc updates.
10 - added aio_readlink. 94 - added aio_readlink.
11 - properly zero-terminate aio_read buffer. 95 - properly zero-terminate aio_read buffer.
