31.5 3TODO: better autoconf.pm that can return LIBS etc.
4TODO: aio_cptree/mvtree/rmtree
5TODO: aio_utime, aio_chmod, aio_chown? should simply stat/open first?

7 - minor doc updates.
8 - added aio_readlink.
9 - properly zero-terminate aio_read buffer.
10 - fix aio_read/write with nonzero dataoffset.

122.1 Sun Oct 29 02:01:57 CET 2006
13 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace IO::AIO::poll_some by
14 IO::AIO::max_poll_reqs and IO::AIO::max_poll_time.
15 - fix a bug in aio_move where it would fail everytime
16 it would have to copy files manually.
17 - doc updates.
18 - start threads only on (very low) demand.
19 - end superfluous threads automatically after 10s idling.
20 - add IO::AIO::max_idle to control this.
21 - some tuning applied to random places.
22 - add aio_mknod.
23
242.0 Thu Oct 26 18:27:58 CEST 2006
25 - minor incompatibility: max_outstanding semantics have changed.
26 - major rewrite, consider all functionality EXPERIMENTAL.
27 - aio requests can be cancelled.
28 - callbacks can be (re-)set later.
29 - aio requests can choose between 9 priorities.
30 - add aio_group: aio requests can be grouped
31 into composite requests.
32 - generator interface for groups.
33 - add IO::AIO::poll_some.
34 - major documentation improvements.
35 - very minor bugfixes.
36 - add aio_nop for dummy requests.
37 - add aio_busy mainly for benchmarking and debugging.
38 - use "fast" mutexes on linux.
39 - use dynamic (and larger) buffers instead of
40 putting them onto the stack.
41 - optimise x86 and amd64 a bit.
42 - better error checking when ENOMEM.
43 - hopefully fix mem and dirp leaks on fork.
44 - warn about broken perl malloc.
45 - compiles on cygwin (but pread is broken on cygwin
46 which is not detected by autoconf, so you have to
47 edit autoconf/config.h yourself to enable emulation).
48
491.8 Sat Jun 24 22:20:44 CEST 2006
50 - add and/or document aio_rename, aio_link, aio_symlink and aio_move.
51
521.73 Wed Mar 1 22:49:32 CET 2006
53 - codename "jost"
54 - AIX/Solaris(?) aren't being helpful again, hardcode a value
55 for NAME_MAX and drive with your eyes closed (reported by
56 wcooley@nakedape.cc).
57
581.72 Thu Feb 2 00:40:44 CET 2006
59 - another minor bug in aio_scandir, again, the callback was called
60 twice when the directory can't be stat'ed.
61
621.71 Mon Dec 26 20:20:03 CET 2005
63 - grr, another minor bug in aio_scandir, this time resulting
64 in a runtime error.
65
661.7 Mon Dec 26 19:29:48 CET 2005
67 - aio_scandir errornously called callback twice in some cases.
68 - added AnyEvent example.
69
701.61 Wed Sep 7 19:40:42 CEST 2005
71 - no longer include $Config{libs}, as distros include too much
72 garbage in there that is not installed on typical systems
73 (for example, debian links perl against -lgdbm and many more
74 libraries despite perl not needing it, slowing down startup and
75 wasting memory).
76
771.6 Tue Aug 30 17:44:44 CEST 2005
78 - added aio_readdir, aio_scandir.
79 - added aio_sendfile, including sendfile emulation when sendfile
80 isn't available. Linux, FreeBSD and HP-UX might work (sendfilev
81 support is unavailable on my solaris 8 machine, but preliminary
82 code is there. What's lacking is configury stuff and testing...).

841.5 Sat Aug 20 02:32:19 CEST 2005
4 - create the aio threads on demand only. 85 - create the aio threads on demand only (good after forking).
5 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should 86 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should
6 be C89 compatible, but no guarentees for future ones. 87 be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones.
88 - abort when the configure script fails.

10 deadlocks. 92 deadlocks.

14 eating them. 96 eating them.
