3TODO: better autoconf.pm that can return LIBS etc.

51.7 Mon Dec 26 19:29:48 CET 2005
6 - aio_scandir errornously called callback twice in some cases.
7 - added AnyEvent example.
8
91.61 Wed Sep 7 19:40:42 CEST 2005
10 - no longer include $Config{libs}, as distros include too much
11 garbage in there that is not installed on typical systems
12 (for example, debian links perl against -lgdbm and many more
13 libraries despite perl not needing it, slowing down startup and
14 wasting memory).
15
161.6 Tue Aug 30 17:44:44 CEST 2005
17 - added aio_readdir, aio_scandir.
18 - added aio_sendfile, including sendfile emulation when sendfile
19 isn't available. Linux, FreeBSD and HP-UX might work (sendfilev
20 support is unavailable on my solaris 8 machine, but preliminary
21 code is there. What's lacking is configury stuff and testing...).
22
231.5 Sat Aug 20 02:32:19 CEST 2005
24 - create the aio threads on demand only (good after forking).
25 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should
26 be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones.
27 - abort when the configure script fails.
28
291.4 Wed Aug 17 08:07:27 CEST 2005
30 - forget to recreate the pipe after forking, this could cause
31 deadlocks.
32
331.3 Wed Aug 17 07:25:54 CEST 2005
34 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
35 eating them.
36 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback
37 invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes.
38 - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong
39 length after reading.
40 - fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests
41 from the parent.
42 - make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon
43 (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes.
44 - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write.
45 - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data
46 scalar for better error reporting.
47
481.2 Wed Aug 17 01:22:58 CEST 2005
49 - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris.
50 - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to
51 the external filename encoding first.
52 - fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again).
53 - clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away
54 with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS.
55 - fork'ing should now be officially supported (where linux and
56 posix contradict each other, I followed posix).
57 - only call read() once per poll, not twice (speedup).
58 - new functions: aio_rmdir, aio_symlink.
59 - force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better
60 error catching.
61
621.1 Sun Aug 7 05:27:23 CEST 2005
63 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls.
64 (imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due to missing
65 feedback yet).
66 - emulate fdatasync via fsync, pread/pwrite via unsafe read/write
67 and readahead via manual reading on platforms lacking those.
68 - ported t/03_errors.t+framework by Brad Fitzpatrick
69 from Linux::AIO.
70 - removed XOPEN_SOURCE because stupid solaris 9 doesn't
71 compile with it enabled. Probably breaks others. Oh well.
72 - try to be more careful with errno on non-threaded perls.
73 - cygwins perl insisted on a matching open mode when morphing
74 the fd to an fh.
75 - convert sv's to "byte" encoding in aio_read/aio_write. Might
76 do that for pathnames, too, in the future, so make sure you
77 properly encode your pathnames.
78
791.0 Fri Jul 22 10:43:30 CEST 2005
80 - aio_open did not reliably deliver (open) filehandles.
81 - all aio_*-functions keep a reference to the filehandle so
82 it doesn't go away while the aio requests is working on it.
83 - disable warnings in AIO.pm.

30.9 Wed Jul 20 23:55:04 CEST 2005 850.9 Wed Jul 20 23:55:04 CEST 2005
4 - allow recursive calls to poll_cb, use less locking calls, too. 86 - allow recursive calls to poll_cb, use less locking calls, too.
5 - fix the Gtk2-example in the SYNOPSIS. 87 - fix the Gtk2-example in the SYNOPSIS.
6 - use pread/pwrite not pread64/pwrite64. this was simply a leftover 88 - use pread/pwrite not pread64/pwrite64. this was simply a leftover
