9 - (libeio) replaced quicksort+insertion sort by a tuned radix
10 sort + insertion sort, resulting in comparable runtime (usually
11 faster) to the old version, but without any ill side effects on
12 degenerated (for quicksort) data.
13 - (libeio) correctly sort dirs by inodes if we have perfect type
14 knowledge and DIRS_FIRST is used.
15 - (libeio) internally the wrong DT_* constants were used, but no
16 known system has differing EIO_DT_*/DT_* values, so not an issue.
17 - removed a (harmless) assert that was left over on the code
18 but should not have been.

203.23 Sat Jun 13 16:57:58 CEST 2009
21 - fix off-by-one bug in aio_readdir that was introduced in the
22 rushed 3.22 release.
23
243.22 Sat Jun 13 15:32:40 CEST 2009
25 - speed up readdirx sort algorithm slightly.
26 - bin/treescan was missing from distro tarball.
27
283.21 Fri Jun 12 18:45:53 CEST 2009
29 - new options --dirs and --files for treescan.
30 - install bin/treescan by default.
31 - (libeio) aio_readdir can now be cancelled while executing.
32 - fix a printf format string for 64 bit systems (could lead
33 to problems on big endian 64 bit systems).
34 - do not use qsort() but our own algorithm: glibc initialises
35 the whole locale and I/O subsystem inside qsort, causing
36 a stack overflow on 32 bit machines. The new sort uses much less
37 stack and is more than twice as fast in typical situations.
38
393.2 Sun Jun 7 20:30:05 CEST 2009
40 - (libeio) pwrite emulation was even more flawed than intended and did
41 not restore the file offset.
42 - add aio_readdirx, which can return inode and filetype and sort
43 the names in various ways.
44 - unfortunately, utime, chmod, chown on an open file that has just
45 been written can easily block, which caused aio_copy to block the
46 process. no more!
47 - no longer rely on dst path in aio_copy when futime is available.
48
493.19 Tue Apr 21 22:05:21 CEST 2009
50 - more perl 5.10 workarounds for aio_read and write.
51 - aio_write no longer modifies the sv (if possible).
52 - aio_read now works correctly with magic values.
53
543.18 Sun Apr 19 21:17:32 CEST 2009
55 - better diagnostics when some aio_* functions get passed an illegal fh.
56 - try to avoid crashes due to incompatible 5.10 API changes. grmbl.
57
583.17 Thu Nov 20 08:45:36 CET 2008
59 - (libeio) added aio_sync_file_range (untested).
60 - add aio_busy to @IO::AIO::AIO_REQ.
61
623.16 Wed Oct 22 18:28:01 CEST 2008
63 - use SvREFCNT_inc instead of SvREFCNT_inc_NN in a non-speed critical
64 part to improve portability to perl 5.8 (reported by szymon).
65
663.15 Mon Oct 13 00:39:55 CEST 2008
67 - automatic removal of feeders was broken.
68 - (libeio) use a more robust method to detect whether a feeder
69 has added something to the group or not.
70
713.1 Thu Oct 2 13:34:40 CEST 2008
72 - pre-deref the passed callback object, for increased speed
73 and decreased memory usage.
74 - call on_next_submit callback even for aio_group - impact unknown,
75 but seems more correct.
76 - $req->cb now returns the original callback.
77 - (libeio) pass EIO_GROUP/aio_group requests through the queue without
78 requiring a thread switch.
79 - (libeio) status code of aio_futime and aio_utime was always passed 0.
80 - do some other ยต-optimisations.
81
823.07 Sat Aug 2 16:06:13 CEST 2008
83 - do not include LIBS in autoconf tests.
84
853.06 Tue Jul 15 12:41:32 CEST 2008
86 - move preadwritelock definition before it's first reference,
87 to make it compile again on broken platforms (they still exist)
88 or badly cofngiured perls (redhat...), reported by Rob Bloodgood.

11 (sic!) versions. 92 (sic!) versions.
