31.3 3TODO: better autoconf.pm that can return LIBS etc.
4
52.0
6 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: max_outstanding was removed, use
7 a group with a feeder instead.
8 - major rewrite, consider all functionality EXPERIMENTAL.
9 - aio requests can be cancelled.
10 - callbacks can be (re-)set later.
11 - aio requests can have choose 9 priorities.
12 - add aio_group: aio requests can be grouped
13 into composite requests.
14 - generator interface for groups.
15 - major documentation improvements.
16 - very minor bugfixes.
17 - add aio_nop for dummy requests.
18 - add aio_busy mainly for benchmarking and debugging.
19 - deprecated max_outstanding.
20 - use "fast" mutexes on linux.
21 - use dynamic (and larger) buffers instead of
22 putting them onto the stack.
23 - optimise x86 and amd64 a bit.
24 - better error checking when ENOMEM.
25 - hopefully fix mem and dirp leaks on fork.
26
271.8 Sat Jun 24 22:20:44 CEST 2006
28 - add and/or document aio_rename, aio_link, aio_symlink and aio_move.
29
301.73 Wed Mar 1 22:49:32 CET 2006
31 - codename "jost"
32 - AIX/Solaris(?) aren't being helpful again, hardcode a value
33 for NAME_MAX and drive with your eyes closed (reported by
34 wcooley@nakedape.cc).
35
361.72 Thu Feb 2 00:40:44 CET 2006
37 - another minor bug in aio_scandir, again, the callback was called
38 twice when the directory can't be stat'ed.
39
401.71 Mon Dec 26 20:20:03 CET 2005
41 - grr, another minor bug in aio_scandir, this time resulting
42 in a runtime error.
43
441.7 Mon Dec 26 19:29:48 CET 2005
45 - aio_scandir errornously called callback twice in some cases.
46 - added AnyEvent example.
47
481.61 Wed Sep 7 19:40:42 CEST 2005
49 - no longer include $Config{libs}, as distros include too much
50 garbage in there that is not installed on typical systems
51 (for example, debian links perl against -lgdbm and many more
52 libraries despite perl not needing it, slowing down startup and
53 wasting memory).
54
551.6 Tue Aug 30 17:44:44 CEST 2005
56 - added aio_readdir, aio_scandir.
57 - added aio_sendfile, including sendfile emulation when sendfile
58 isn't available. Linux, FreeBSD and HP-UX might work (sendfilev
59 support is unavailable on my solaris 8 machine, but preliminary
60 code is there. What's lacking is configury stuff and testing...).
61
621.5 Sat Aug 20 02:32:19 CEST 2005
63 - create the aio threads on demand only (good after forking).
64 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should
65 be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones.
66 - abort when the configure script fails.
67
681.4 Wed Aug 17 08:07:27 CEST 2005
69 - forget to recreate the pipe after forking, this could cause
70 deadlocks.
71
721.3 Wed Aug 17 07:25:54 CEST 2005
4 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently 73 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
5 eating them. 74 eating them.
75 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback
76 invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes.
77 - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong
78 length after reading.
79 - fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests
80 from the parent.
81 - make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon
82 (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes.
83 - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write.
84 - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data
85 scalar for better error reporting.

8 - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris. 88 - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris.
9 - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to 89 - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to
10 the external filename encoding first. 90 the external filename encoding first.
