121.3 Wed Aug 17 07:25:54 CEST 2005
13 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
14 eating them.
15 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback
16 invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes.
17 - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong
18 length after reading.
19 - fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests
20 from the parent.
21 - make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon
22 (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes.
23 - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write.
24 - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data
25 scalar for better error reporting.
