3TODO: better autoconf.pm that can return LIBS etc.
4
52.0
6 - aio functions now return control block objects that
7 can be used to cancel requests.
8 - aio requests can be cancelled.
9 - add aio_group: aio requests can be grouped.
10 - add aio_sleep mainly for benchmarking and debugging.
11
121.8 Sat Jun 24 22:20:44 CEST 2006
13 - add and/or document aio_rename, aio_link, aio_symlink and aio_move.
14
151.73 Wed Mar 1 22:49:32 CET 2006
16 - codename "jost"
17 - AIX/Solaris(?) aren't being helpful again, hardcode a value
18 for NAME_MAX and drive with your eyes closed (reported by
19 wcooley@nakedape.cc).
20
211.72 Thu Feb 2 00:40:44 CET 2006
22 - another minor bug in aio_scandir, again, the callback was called
23 twice when the directory can't be stat'ed.
24
251.71 Mon Dec 26 20:20:03 CET 2005
26 - grr, another minor bug in aio_scandir, this time resulting
27 in a runtime error.
28
291.7 Mon Dec 26 19:29:48 CET 2005
30 - aio_scandir errornously called callback twice in some cases.
31 - added AnyEvent example.
32
331.61 Wed Sep 7 19:40:42 CEST 2005
34 - no longer include $Config{libs}, as distros include too much
35 garbage in there that is not installed on typical systems
36 (for example, debian links perl against -lgdbm and many more
37 libraries despite perl not needing it, slowing down startup and
38 wasting memory).
39
401.6 Tue Aug 30 17:44:44 CEST 2005
41 - added aio_readdir, aio_scandir.
42 - added aio_sendfile, including sendfile emulation when sendfile
43 isn't available. Linux, FreeBSD and HP-UX might work (sendfilev
44 support is unavailable on my solaris 8 machine, but preliminary
45 code is there. What's lacking is configury stuff and testing...).
46
471.5 Sat Aug 20 02:32:19 CEST 2005
48 - create the aio threads on demand only (good after forking).
49 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should
50 be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones.
51 - abort when the configure script fails.
52
531.4 Wed Aug 17 08:07:27 CEST 2005
54 - forget to recreate the pipe after forking, this could cause
55 deadlocks.
56
571.3 Wed Aug 17 07:25:54 CEST 2005
58 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
59 eating them.
60 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback
61 invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes.
62 - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong
63 length after reading.
64 - fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests
65 from the parent.
66 - make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon
67 (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes.
68 - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write.
69 - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data
70 scalar for better error reporting.
71
721.2 Wed Aug 17 01:22:58 CEST 2005
73 - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris.
74 - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to
75 the external filename encoding first.
76 - fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again).
77 - clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away
78 with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS.
79 - fork'ing should now be officially supported (where linux and
80 posix contradict each other, I followed posix).
81 - only call read() once per poll, not twice (speedup).
82 - new functions: aio_rmdir, aio_symlink.
83 - force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better
84 error catching.
85
861.1 Sun Aug 7 05:27:23 CEST 2005
87 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls.
88 (imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due to missing
89 feedback yet).
90 - emulate fdatasync via fsync, pread/pwrite via unsafe read/write
91 and readahead via manual reading on platforms lacking those.
3 - ported t/03_errors.t+framework by Brad Fitzpatrick 92 - ported t/03_errors.t+framework by Brad Fitzpatrick
4 from Linux::AIO. 93 from Linux::AIO.
5 - removed XOPEN_SOURCE because stupid solaris 9 doesn't 94 - removed XOPEN_SOURCE because stupid solaris 9 doesn't
6 compile with it enabled. Probably breaks others. Oh well. 95 compile with it enabled. Probably breaks others. Oh well.
96 - try to be more careful with errno on non-threaded perls.
97 - cygwins perl insisted on a matching open mode when morphing
98 the fd to an fh.
99 - convert sv's to "byte" encoding in aio_read/aio_write. Might
100 do that for pathnames, too, in the future, so make sure you
101 properly encode your pathnames.

81.0 Fri Jul 22 10:43:30 CEST 2005 1031.0 Fri Jul 22 10:43:30 CEST 2005
9 - aio_open did not reliably deliver (open) filehandles. 104 - aio_open did not reliably deliver (open) filehandles.
10 - all aio_*-functions keep a reference to the filehandle so 105 - all aio_*-functions keep a reference to the filehandle so
11 it doesn't go away while the aio requests is working on it. 106 it doesn't go away while the aio requests is working on it.
