31.1 3TODO: better autoconf.pm that can return LIBS etc.
4
51.72
6 - AIX isn't being helpful again, hardcode a value for NAME_MAX
7
81.72 Thu Feb 2 00:40:44 CET 2006
9 - another minor bug in aio_scandir, again, the callback was called
10 twice when the directory can't be stat'ed.
11
121.71 Mon Dec 26 20:20:03 CET 2005
13 - grr, another minor bug in aio_scandir, this time resulting
14 in a runtime error.
15
161.7 Mon Dec 26 19:29:48 CET 2005
17 - aio_scandir errornously called callback twice in some cases.
18 - added AnyEvent example.
19
201.61 Wed Sep 7 19:40:42 CEST 2005
21 - no longer include $Config{libs}, as distros include too much
22 garbage in there that is not installed on typical systems
23 (for example, debian links perl against -lgdbm and many more
24 libraries despite perl not needing it, slowing down startup and
25 wasting memory).
26
271.6 Tue Aug 30 17:44:44 CEST 2005
28 - added aio_readdir, aio_scandir.
29 - added aio_sendfile, including sendfile emulation when sendfile
30 isn't available. Linux, FreeBSD and HP-UX might work (sendfilev
31 support is unavailable on my solaris 8 machine, but preliminary
32 code is there. What's lacking is configury stuff and testing...).
33
341.5 Sat Aug 20 02:32:19 CEST 2005
35 - create the aio threads on demand only (good after forking).
36 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should
37 be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones.
38 - abort when the configure script fails.
39
401.4 Wed Aug 17 08:07:27 CEST 2005
41 - forget to recreate the pipe after forking, this could cause
42 deadlocks.
43
441.3 Wed Aug 17 07:25:54 CEST 2005
45 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
46 eating them.
47 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback
48 invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes.
49 - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong
50 length after reading.
51 - fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests
52 from the parent.
53 - make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon
54 (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes.
55 - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write.
56 - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data
57 scalar for better error reporting.
58
591.2 Wed Aug 17 01:22:58 CEST 2005
60 - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris.
61 - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to
62 the external filename encoding first.
63 - fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again).
64 - clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away
65 with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS.
66 - fork'ing should now be officially supported (where linux and
67 posix contradict each other, I followed posix).
68 - only call read() once per poll, not twice (speedup).
69 - new functions: aio_rmdir, aio_symlink.
70 - force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better
71 error catching.
72
731.1 Sun Aug 7 05:27:23 CEST 2005
4 - added configure script to detetc availability of some calls. 74 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls.
75 (imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due to missing
76 feedback yet).
5 - emulate fdatasync by fsync, pread/pwrite by unsafe read/write 77 - emulate fdatasync via fsync, pread/pwrite via unsafe read/write
6 and readahead by manual reading on platforms lacking those. 78 and readahead via manual reading on platforms lacking those.
7 - ported t/03_errors.t+framework by Brad Fitzpatrick 79 - ported t/03_errors.t+framework by Brad Fitzpatrick
8 from Linux::AIO. 80 from Linux::AIO.
9 - removed XOPEN_SOURCE because stupid solaris 9 doesn't 81 - removed XOPEN_SOURCE because stupid solaris 9 doesn't
10 compile with it enabled. Probably breaks others. Oh well. 82 compile with it enabled. Probably breaks others. Oh well.
83 - try to be more careful with errno on non-threaded perls.
84 - cygwins perl insisted on a matching open mode when morphing
85 the fd to an fh.
86 - convert sv's to "byte" encoding in aio_read/aio_write. Might
87 do that for pathnames, too, in the future, so make sure you
88 properly encode your pathnames.

13 - aio_open did not reliably deliver (open) filehandles. 91 - aio_open did not reliably deliver (open) filehandles.
14 - all aio_*-functions keep a reference to the filehandle so 92 - all aio_*-functions keep a reference to the filehandle so
15 it doesn't go away while the aio requests is working on it. 93 it doesn't go away while the aio requests is working on it.
