6 - codename "jost"
7 - AIX/Solaris(?) aren't being helpful again, hardcode a value
8 for NAME_MAX and drive with your eyes closed (reported by
9 wcooley@nakedape.cc).
10
111.72 Thu Feb 2 00:40:44 CET 2006
12 - another minor bug in aio_scandir, again, the callback was called
13 twice when the directory can't be stat'ed.

151.71 Mon Dec 26 20:20:03 CET 2005
16 - grr, another minor bug in aio_scandir, this time resulting
17 in a runtime error.
18
191.7 Mon Dec 26 19:29:48 CET 2005
20 - aio_scandir errornously called callback twice in some cases.
21 - added AnyEvent example.

231.61 Wed Sep 7 19:40:42 CEST 2005
24 - no longer include $Config{libs}, as distros include too much
25 garbage in there that is not installed on typical systems
26 (for example, debian links perl against -lgdbm and many more
27 libraries despite perl not needing it, slowing down startup and
28 wasting memory).
29
301.6 Tue Aug 30 17:44:44 CEST 2005
31 - added aio_readdir, aio_scandir.
32 - added aio_sendfile, including sendfile emulation when sendfile
33 isn't available. Linux, FreeBSD and HP-UX might work (sendfilev
34 support is unavailable on my solaris 8 machine, but preliminary
35 code is there. What's lacking is configury stuff and testing...).
36
371.5 Sat Aug 20 02:32:19 CEST 2005
38 - create the aio threads on demand only (good after forking).
39 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should
40 be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones.
41 - abort when the configure script fails.
42
431.4 Wed Aug 17 08:07:27 CEST 2005
44 - forget to recreate the pipe after forking, this could cause
45 deadlocks.

4 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently 48 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
5 eating them. 49 eating them.
6 - forking while in an atfork handler is now supported, although 50 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback
7 I am pretty sure some pthread implementations will barf - don't 51 invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes.
8 fork in an AIO callback if that is a concern for you, or synchronize 52 - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong
9 for yourself by clearing the request queue first. 53 length after reading.
54 - fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests
55 from the parent.
56 - make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon
57 (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes.
58 - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write.
59 - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data
60 scalar for better error reporting.
