31.1 51.5 Sat Aug 20 02:32:19 CEST 2005
6 - create the aio threads on demand only.
7 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should
8 be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones.
9 - abort when the configure script fails.

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

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36 with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS.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

4 - added configure script to detetc availability of some calls. 45 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls.
46 (imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due to missing
47 feedback yet).
5 - emulate fdatasync by fsync, pread/pwrite by unsafe read/write 48 - emulate fdatasync via fsync, pread/pwrite via unsafe read/write
6 and readahead by manual reading on platforms lacking those. 49 and readahead via manual reading on platforms lacking those.

10 compile with it enabled. Probably breaks others. Oh well. 53 compile with it enabled. Probably breaks others. Oh well.
54 - try to be more careful with errno on non-threaded perls.
55 - cygwins perl insisted on a matching open mode when morphing
56 the fd to an fh.
57 - convert sv's to "byte" encoding in aio_read/aio_write. Might
58 do that for pathnames, too, in the future, so make sure you
59 properly encode your pathnames.

13 - aio_open did not reliably deliver (open) filehandles. 62 - aio_open did not reliably deliver (open) filehandles.
14 - all aio_*-functions keep a reference to the filehandle so 63 - all aio_*-functions keep a reference to the filehandle so
15 it doesn't go away while the aio requests is working on it. 64 it doesn't go away while the aio requests is working on it.
