6 - added aio_readdir.
7 - added aio_sendfile, including sendfile emulation when sendfile
8 isn't available. Linux, FreeBSD and HP-UX might work (sendfilev
9 support is unavailable on my solaris 8 machine, but preliminary
10 code is there. What's lacking is configury stuff and testing...).

13 - create the aio threads on demand only (good after forking).
14 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should
15 be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones.
16 - abort when the configure script fails.

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

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43 with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS.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

4 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls. 52 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls.
