3TODO: better autoconf.pm that can return LIBS etc.
4
51.72
6 - AIX isn't being helpful again, hardcode a value for NAME_MAX
7
81.72 Thu Feb 2 00:40:44 CET 2006
9 - another minor bug in aio_scandir, again, the callback was called
10 twice when the directory can't be stat'ed.
11
121.71 Mon Dec 26 20:20:03 CET 2005
13 - grr, another minor bug in aio_scandir, this time resulting
14 in a runtime error.
15
161.7 Mon Dec 26 19:29:48 CET 2005
17 - aio_scandir errornously called callback twice in some cases.
18 - added AnyEvent example.
19
201.61 Wed Sep 7 19:40:42 CEST 2005
21 - no longer include $Config{libs}, as distros include too much
22 garbage in there that is not installed on typical systems
23 (for example, debian links perl against -lgdbm and many more
24 libraries despite perl not needing it, slowing down startup and
25 wasting memory).
26
271.6 Tue Aug 30 17:44:44 CEST 2005
28 - added aio_readdir, aio_scandir.
29 - added aio_sendfile, including sendfile emulation when sendfile
30 isn't available. Linux, FreeBSD and HP-UX might work (sendfilev
31 support is unavailable on my solaris 8 machine, but preliminary
32 code is there. What's lacking is configury stuff and testing...).
33
341.5 Sat Aug 20 02:32:19 CEST 2005
35 - create the aio threads on demand only (good after forking).
36 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should
37 be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones.
38 - abort when the configure script fails.
39
401.4 Wed Aug 17 08:07:27 CEST 2005
41 - forget to recreate the pipe after forking, this could cause
42 deadlocks.
43
441.3 Wed Aug 17 07:25:54 CEST 2005
45 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
46 eating them.
47 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback
48 invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes.
49 - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong
50 length after reading.
51 - fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests
52 from the parent.
53 - make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon
54 (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes.
55 - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write.
56 - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data
57 scalar for better error reporting.
58
591.2 Wed Aug 17 01:22:58 CEST 2005
60 - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris.
61 - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to
62 the external filename encoding first.
63 - fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again).
64 - clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away
65 with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS.
66 - fork'ing should now be officially supported (where linux and
67 posix contradict each other, I followed posix).
68 - only call read() once per poll, not twice (speedup).
69 - new functions: aio_rmdir, aio_symlink.
70 - force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better
71 error catching.

31.1 Sun Aug 7 05:27:23 CEST 2005 731.1 Sun Aug 7 05:27:23 CEST 2005
4 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls. 74 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls.
5 (imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due to missing 75 (imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due to missing
6 feedback yet). 76 feedback yet).
