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

51.72
6 - another minor bug in aio_scandir, again, the callback was called
7 twice when the directory can't be stat'ed.

10 - grr, another minor bug in aio_scandir, this time resulting
11 in a runtime error.

131.7 Mon Dec 26 19:29:48 CET 2005
14 - aio_scandir errornously called callback twice in some cases.
15 - added AnyEvent example.

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...).

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.

4 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently 42 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
5 eating them. 43 eating them.
6 - forking while in an atfork handler is now supported, although 44 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback
7 I am pretty sure some pthread implementations will barf - don't 45 invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes.
8 fork in an AIO callback if that is a concern for you, or synchronize 46 - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong
9 for yourself by clearing the request queue first. 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.
