12 - new request aio_seek.
13 - new request aio_fiemap.
14 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
15 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
16 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
17
184.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
19 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
20 instead of -1.
21 - port to c89.
22
234.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
24 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
25
264.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
27 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
28 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
29 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
30 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
31 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
32 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
33 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
34 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
35 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
36 in aio_scandir and treescan.
37 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
38 - added --progress switch to treescan.
39
404.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
41 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
42 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
43 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
44 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
45 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
46 a timeout occured at the same time.
47 - (libeio) added realpath.
48 - (libeio) added fallocate.
49 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
50 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
51 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
52
533.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
54 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
55
563.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
57 - ecb.h was missing.
58
593.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
60 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
61 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
62 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
63 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
64 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
65 transferred...)
66 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
67 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
68 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
69 pthread and fork in perl.
70 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
71 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
72 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
73 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.
74
753.9 Fri May 27 02:43:47 CEST 2011
76 - (libeio) fix memory corruption in aio_readdirx for the flags
77 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
78 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open
79 flags.

14 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique. 82 - use nonstandard but maybe-working-on-bsd fork technique.
15 - support a max_idle value of 0. 83 - support a max_idle value of 0.
16 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout). 84 - support setting of idle timeout value (IO::AIO::idle_timeout).
