51.5 Sat Aug 20 02:32:19 CEST 2005
6 - create the aio threads on demand only.
7 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should
8 be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones.
9 - abort when the configure script fails.
10
111.4 Wed Aug 17 08:07:27 CEST 2005
12 - forget to recreate the pipe after forking, this could cause
13 deadlocks.
14
151.3 Wed Aug 17 07:25:54 CEST 2005
16 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
17 eating them.
18 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback
19 invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes.
20 - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong
21 length after reading.
22 - fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests
23 from the parent.
24 - make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon
25 (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes.
26 - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write.
27 - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data
28 scalar for better error reporting.

301.2 Wed Aug 17 01:22:58 CEST 2005
31 - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris.
32 - use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to
33 the external filename encoding first.
34 - fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again).
35 - clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away
36 with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS.
37 - fork'ing should now be officially supported (where linux and
38 posix contradict each other, I followed posix).
39 - only call read() once per poll, not twice (speedup).
40 - new functions: aio_rmdir, aio_symlink.
41 - force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better
42 error catching.
43
441.1 Sun Aug 7 05:27:23 CEST 2005
45 - added configure script to detect availability of some calls.
46 (imperfect, as we cannot detect things like -lrt due to missing
47 feedback yet).
48 - emulate fdatasync via fsync, pread/pwrite via unsafe read/write
49 and readahead via manual reading on platforms lacking those.
50 - ported t/03_errors.t+framework by Brad Fitzpatrick
51 from Linux::AIO.
52 - removed XOPEN_SOURCE because stupid solaris 9 doesn't
53 compile with it enabled. Probably breaks others. Oh well.
54 - try to be more careful with errno on non-threaded perls.
55 - cygwins perl insisted on a matching open mode when morphing
56 the fd to an fh.
57 - convert sv's to "byte" encoding in aio_read/aio_write. Might
58 do that for pathnames, too, in the future, so make sure you
59 properly encode your pathnames.
60
611.0 Fri Jul 22 10:43:30 CEST 2005
62 - aio_open did not reliably deliver (open) filehandles.
63 - all aio_*-functions keep a reference to the filehandle so
64 it doesn't go away while the aio requests is working on it.
65 - disable warnings in AIO.pm.
66
670.9 Wed Jul 20 23:55:04 CEST 2005
68 - allow recursive calls to poll_cb, use less locking calls, too.
69 - fix the Gtk2-example in the SYNOPSIS.
70 - use pread/pwrite not pread64/pwrite64. this was simply a leftover
71 from Linux::AIO.
72 (found by compiling on cygwin. Unfortunately, cygwin declares but
73 does not implement pread/pwrite).
74 - only include <sys/syscall.h> on linux.
75
760.5 Tue Jul 12 13:03:09 CEST 2005
77 - removed #include <endian.h>, it's not portable, and we don't
78 need it anyway.
79 - link against -lrt, as it might contain goodies such as fdatasync,
80 and often aio_read, which we do not use yet, but it shouldn't hurt.
81
820.4 Mon Jul 11 05:28:25 CEST 2005
83 - added IO::AIO::flush, IO::AIO::poll.
84 - make callback argument optional for all calls.
85
860.3 Mon Jul 11 01:42:37 CEST 2005
3 - restructured manpage. 87 - restructured manpage.
88 - added SYNOPSIS with examples for Event, Glib, Tk.
89 - remove explicit context support so I don't have to maintain
90 it for threaded perls (i.e. it should work now :).

6 - return immediately from poll_wait if nreqs==0. 93 - return immediately from poll_wait if nreqs==0.
7 - get rid of the request pipe and use faster thread-thread 94 - get rid of the request pipe and use faster thread-thread
8 communications for most requests and responses. 95 communications for most requests and responses.
