3TODO: better autoconf.pm that can return LIBS etc.
4
52.0
6 - aio requests can be cancelled.
7 - add aio_group: aio requests can be grouped.
8 - add aio_sleep mainly for benchmarking and debugging.
9
101.8 Sat Jun 24 22:20:44 CEST 2006
11 - add and/or document aio_rename, aio_link, aio_symlink and aio_move.
12
131.73 Wed Mar 1 22:49:32 CET 2006
14 - codename "jost"
15 - AIX/Solaris(?) aren't being helpful again, hardcode a value
16 for NAME_MAX and drive with your eyes closed (reported by
17 wcooley@nakedape.cc).
18
191.72 Thu Feb 2 00:40:44 CET 2006
20 - another minor bug in aio_scandir, again, the callback was called
21 twice when the directory can't be stat'ed.
22
231.71 Mon Dec 26 20:20:03 CET 2005
24 - grr, another minor bug in aio_scandir, this time resulting
25 in a runtime error.
26
271.7 Mon Dec 26 19:29:48 CET 2005
28 - aio_scandir errornously called callback twice in some cases.
29 - added AnyEvent example.
30
311.61 Wed Sep 7 19:40:42 CEST 2005
32 - no longer include $Config{libs}, as distros include too much
33 garbage in there that is not installed on typical systems
34 (for example, debian links perl against -lgdbm and many more
35 libraries despite perl not needing it, slowing down startup and
36 wasting memory).
37
381.6 Tue Aug 30 17:44:44 CEST 2005
39 - added aio_readdir, aio_scandir.
40 - added aio_sendfile, including sendfile emulation when sendfile
41 isn't available. Linux, FreeBSD and HP-UX might work (sendfilev
42 support is unavailable on my solaris 8 machine, but preliminary
43 code is there. What's lacking is configury stuff and testing...).
44
451.5 Sat Aug 20 02:32:19 CEST 2005
46 - create the aio threads on demand only (good after forking).
47 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should
48 be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones.
49 - abort when the configure script fails.
50
511.4 Wed Aug 17 08:07:27 CEST 2005
52 - forget to recreate the pipe after forking, this could cause
53 deadlocks.
54
551.3 Wed Aug 17 07:25:54 CEST 2005
56 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
57 eating them.
58 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback
59 invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes.
60 - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong
61 length after reading.
62 - fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests
63 from the parent.
64 - make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon
65 (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes.
66 - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write.
67 - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data
68 scalar for better error reporting.
69
701.2 Wed Aug 17 01:22:58 CEST 2005
71 - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris.
72 - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to
73 the external filename encoding first.
74 - fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again).
75 - clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away
76 with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS.
77 - fork'ing should now be officially supported (where linux and
78 posix contradict each other, I followed posix).
79 - only call read() once per poll, not twice (speedup).
80 - new functions: aio_rmdir, aio_symlink.
81 - force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better
82 error catching.

31.1 Sun Aug 7 05:27:23 CEST 2005 841.1 Sun Aug 7 05:27:23 CEST 2005
4 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls. 85 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls.
5 (imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due to missing 86 (imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due to missing
6 feedback yet). 87 feedback yet).
