3TODO: better autoconf.pm that can return LIBS etc.
4
51.72
6 - another minor bug in aio_scandir, again, the callback was called
7 twice when the directory can't be stat'ed.
8
91.71 Mon Dec 26 20:20:03 CET 2005
10 - grr, another minor bug in aio_scandir, this time resulting
11 in a runtime error.
12
131.7 Mon Dec 26 19:29:48 CET 2005
14 - aio_scandir errornously called callback twice in some cases.
15 - added AnyEvent example.
16
171.61 Wed Sep 7 19:40:42 CEST 2005
18 - no longer include $Config{libs}, as distros include too much
19 garbage in there that is not installed on typical systems
20 (for example, debian links perl against -lgdbm and many more
21 libraries despite perl not needing it, slowing down startup and
22 wasting memory).
23
241.6 Tue Aug 30 17:44:44 CEST 2005
25 - added aio_readdir, aio_scandir.
26 - added aio_sendfile, including sendfile emulation when sendfile
27 isn't available. Linux, FreeBSD and HP-UX might work (sendfilev
28 support is unavailable on my solaris 8 machine, but preliminary
29 code is there. What's lacking is configury stuff and testing...).
30
311.5 Sat Aug 20 02:32:19 CEST 2005
32 - create the aio threads on demand only (good after forking).
33 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should
34 be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones.
35 - abort when the configure script fails.
36
371.4 Wed Aug 17 08:07:27 CEST 2005
38 - forget to recreate the pipe after forking, this could cause
39 deadlocks.
40
411.3 Wed Aug 17 07:25:54 CEST 2005
42 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
43 eating them.
44 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback
45 invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes.
46 - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong
47 length after reading.
48 - fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests
49 from the parent.
50 - make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon
51 (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes.
52 - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write.
53 - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data
54 scalar for better error reporting.
55
561.2 Wed Aug 17 01:22:58 CEST 2005
57 - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris.
58 - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to
59 the external filename encoding first.
60 - fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again).
61 - clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away
62 with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS.
63 - fork'ing should now be officially supported (where linux and
64 posix contradict each other, I followed posix).
65 - only call read() once per poll, not twice (speedup).
66 - new functions: aio_rmdir, aio_symlink.
67 - force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better
68 error catching.

31.1 Sun Aug 7 05:27:23 CEST 2005 701.1 Sun Aug 7 05:27:23 CEST 2005
4 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls. 71 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls.
5 (imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due to missing 72 (imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due to missing
6 feedback yet). 73 feedback yet).
