31.3 3TODO: better autoconf.pm that can return LIBS etc.

52.0
6 - major rewrite, consider all functionality EXPERIMENTAL.
7 - aio requests can be cancelled.
8 - callbacks can be (re-)set later.
9 - aio requests can have choose 9 priorities.
10 - add aio_group: aio requests can be grouped
11 into composite requests.
12 - generator interface for groups.
13 - major documentation improvements.
14 - very minor bugfixes.
15 - add aio_nop for dummy requests.
16 - add aio_busy mainly for benchmarking and debugging.
17 - deprecated max_outstanding.
18 - use "fast" mutexes on linux.
19 - use dynamic (and larger) buffers instead of
20 putting them onto the stack.
21 - optimise x86 and amd64 a bit.
22 - better error checking when ENOMEM.
23 - hopefully fix mem and dirp leaks on fork.
24
251.8 Sat Jun 24 22:20:44 CEST 2006
26 - add and/or document aio_rename, aio_link, aio_symlink and aio_move.
27
281.73 Wed Mar 1 22:49:32 CET 2006
29 - codename "jost"
30 - AIX/Solaris(?) aren't being helpful again, hardcode a value
31 for NAME_MAX and drive with your eyes closed (reported by
32 wcooley@nakedape.cc).
33
341.72 Thu Feb 2 00:40:44 CET 2006
35 - another minor bug in aio_scandir, again, the callback was called
36 twice when the directory can't be stat'ed.
37
381.71 Mon Dec 26 20:20:03 CET 2005
39 - grr, another minor bug in aio_scandir, this time resulting
40 in a runtime error.
41
421.7 Mon Dec 26 19:29:48 CET 2005
43 - aio_scandir errornously called callback twice in some cases.
44 - added AnyEvent example.
45
461.61 Wed Sep 7 19:40:42 CEST 2005
47 - no longer include $Config{libs}, as distros include too much
48 garbage in there that is not installed on typical systems
49 (for example, debian links perl against -lgdbm and many more
50 libraries despite perl not needing it, slowing down startup and
51 wasting memory).
52
531.6 Tue Aug 30 17:44:44 CEST 2005
54 - added aio_readdir, aio_scandir.
55 - added aio_sendfile, including sendfile emulation when sendfile
56 isn't available. Linux, FreeBSD and HP-UX might work (sendfilev
57 support is unavailable on my solaris 8 machine, but preliminary
58 code is there. What's lacking is configury stuff and testing...).
59
601.5 Sat Aug 20 02:32:19 CEST 2005
61 - create the aio threads on demand only (good after forking).
62 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should
63 be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones.
64 - abort when the configure script fails.
65
661.4 Wed Aug 17 08:07:27 CEST 2005
67 - forget to recreate the pipe after forking, this could cause
68 deadlocks.

701.3 Wed Aug 17 07:25:54 CEST 2005
4 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently 71 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
5 eating them. 72 eating them.
73 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback
74 invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes.
75 - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong
76 length after reading.
77 - fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests
78 from the parent.
79 - make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon
80 (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes.
81 - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write.
82 - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data
83 scalar for better error reporting.

8 - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris. 86 - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris.
9 - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to 87 - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to
