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.

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.

4 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently 45 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
5 eating them. 46 eating them.
6 - forking while in an atfork handler is now supported, although 47 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback
7 I am pretty sure some pthread implementations will barf - don't 48 invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes.
8 fork in an AIO callback if that is a concern for you, or synchronize 49 - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong
9 for yourself by clearing the request queue first. 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.
