3 - (experimental) sendfile support, including sendfile emulation
4 when sendfile isn't available.

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

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

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37 with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS.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

4 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls. 46 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls.
5 (imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due to missing 47 (imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due to missing
6 feedback yet). 48 feedback yet).
