3 - (experimental) sendfile support, including sendfile emulation
4 when sendfile isn't available. Linux, FreeBSD and HP-UX might
5 work (sendfilev support is unavailable on my solaris 8 machine...).

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

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

321.2 Wed Aug 17 01:22:58 CEST 2005
33 - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris.
34 - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to
35 the external filename encoding first.
36 - fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again).
37 - clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away
38 with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS.
39 - fork'ing should now be officially supported (where linux and
40 posix contradict each other, I followed posix).
41 - only call read() once per poll, not twice (speedup).
42 - new functions: aio_rmdir, aio_symlink.
43 - force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better
44 error catching.

4 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls. 47 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls.
