31.1 31.5
4 - create the aio threads on demand only.
5 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should
6 be C89 compatible, but no guarentees for future ones.

81.4 Wed Aug 17 08:07:27 CEST 2005
9 - forget to recreate the pipe after forking, this could cause
10 deadlocks.
11
121.3 Wed Aug 17 07:25:54 CEST 2005
13 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
14 eating them.
15 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback
16 invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes.
17 - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong
18 length after reading.
19 - fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests
20 from the parent.
21 - make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon
22 (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes.
23 - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write.
24 - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data
25 scalar for better error reporting.

271.2 Wed Aug 17 01:22:58 CEST 2005
28 - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris.
29 - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to
30 the external filename encoding first.
31 - fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again).
32 - clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away
33 with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS.
34 - fork'ing should now be officially supported (where linux and
35 posix contradict each other, I followed posix).
36 - only call read() once per poll, not twice (speedup).
37 - new functions: aio_rmdir, aio_symlink.
38 - force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better
39 error catching.

411.1 Sun Aug 7 05:27:23 CEST 2005
4 - added configure script to detetc availability of some calls. 42 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls.
43 (imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due to missing
44 feedback yet).
5 - emulate fdatasync by fsync, pread/pwrite by unsafe read/write 45 - emulate fdatasync via fsync, pread/pwrite via unsafe read/write
6 and readahead by manual reading on platforms lacking those. 46 and readahead via manual reading on platforms lacking those.
7 - ported t/03_errors.t+framework by Brad Fitzpatrick 47 - ported t/03_errors.t+framework by Brad Fitzpatrick
8 from Linux::AIO. 48 from Linux::AIO.
9 - removed XOPEN_SOURCE because stupid solaris 9 doesn't 49 - removed XOPEN_SOURCE because stupid solaris 9 doesn't
10 compile with it enabled. Probably breaks others. Oh well. 50 compile with it enabled. Probably breaks others. Oh well.
51 - try to be more careful with errno on non-threaded perls.
52 - cygwins perl insisted on a matching open mode when morphing
53 the fd to an fh.
54 - convert sv's to "byte" encoding in aio_read/aio_write. Might
55 do that for pathnames, too, in the future, so make sure you
56 properly encode your pathnames.

121.0 Fri Jul 22 10:43:30 CEST 2005 581.0 Fri Jul 22 10:43:30 CEST 2005
13 - aio_open did not reliably deliver (open) filehandles. 59 - aio_open did not reliably deliver (open) filehandles.
14 - all aio_*-functions keep a reference to the filehandle so 60 - all aio_*-functions keep a reference to the filehandle so
15 it doesn't go away while the aio requests is working on it. 61 it doesn't go away while the aio requests is working on it.
