4 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
5 eating them.
6 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback
7 invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes.
8 - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong
9 length after reading.
10 - fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests
11 from the parent.
12 - make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon
13 (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes.
14 - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write.
15 - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data
16 scalar for better error reporting.

19 - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris.
20 - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to
21 the external filename encoding first.
22 - fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again).
23 - clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away
24 with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS.
25 - fork'ing should now be officially supported (where linux and
26 posix contradict each other, I followed posix).
27 - only call read() once per poll, not twice (speedup).
28 - new functions: aio_rmdir, aio_symlink.
29 - force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better
30 error catching.

33 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls.
34 (imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due to missing
35 feedback yet).
36 - emulate fdatasync via fsync, pread/pwrite via unsafe read/write
37 and readahead via manual reading on platforms lacking those.
3 - ported t/03_errors.t+framework by Brad Fitzpatrick 38 - ported t/03_errors.t+framework by Brad Fitzpatrick
4 from Linux::AIO. 39 from Linux::AIO.
5 - removed XOPEN_SOURCE because stupid solaris 9 doesn't 40 - removed XOPEN_SOURCE because stupid solaris 9 doesn't
6 compile with it enabled. Probably breaks others. Oh well. 41 compile with it enabled. Probably breaks others. Oh well.
42 - try to be more careful with errno on non-threaded perls.
43 - cygwins perl insisted on a matching open mode when morphing
44 the fd to an fh.
45 - convert sv's to "byte" encoding in aio_read/aio_write. Might
46 do that for pathnames, too, in the future, so make sure you
47 properly encode your pathnames.

9 - aio_open did not reliably deliver (open) filehandles. 50 - aio_open did not reliably deliver (open) filehandles.
10 - all aio_*-functions keep a reference to the filehandle so 51 - all aio_*-functions keep a reference to the filehandle so
11 it doesn't go away while the aio requests is working on it. 52 it doesn't go away while the aio requests is working on it.
