14 - rename aio_fallocate to aio_allocate, to match documentation.
15 - add list of linux fsid values to aio_statvfs docs.
16 - work around a bug in btrfs' FIEMAP ioctl implementation.
17 - work around AIX bug: statvfs.f_fsid is a struct, not unsigned long
18 as per unix spec.
19
204.16 Tue Aug 14 05:39:03 CEST 2012
21 - aio_statvfs was wromgly marked for wd emulation, causing
22 it to malfunction for paths.
23 - fix a crash in aio_fiemap, when used on ranges without any
24 extents.
25 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel might
26 trash fiemap input arguments.
27 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel does not
28 set FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST on last segment.
29 - work around linux kernel bug (at least in 3.2): kernel silently
30 truncates segment count if a file.
31 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
32 to quick overview.
33 - splice can corrupt data.
34 - (libeio) remove pread/pwrite emulation.
35 - do not grow mmaped scalars in aio_read.
36 - add FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and document fallocate.
37 - provide pread/pwrite for win32, making it link again on native win32.
38
394.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
40 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
41 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
42 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
43 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
44 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
45 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
46
474.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
48 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
49 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
50 - new request aio_seek.
51 - new request aio_fiemap.
52 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
53
544.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
55 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
56 instead of -1.
57 - port to c89.
58
594.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
60 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
61
624.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
63 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
64 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
65 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
66 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
67 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
68 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
69 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
70 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
71 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
72 in aio_scandir and treescan.
73 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
74 - added --progress switch to treescan.

15 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was), 77 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
16 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details. 78 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
17 - passes testsuite on win32 now (activetstate 5.10.1, YMMV). 79 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
80 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
18 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when 81 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
19 a timeout occured at the same time. 82 a timeout occured at the same time.
20 - (libeio) added realpath. 83 - (libeio) added realpath.
21 - (libeio) added fallocate. 84 - (libeio) added fallocate.
22 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation. 85 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
