31.2 3TODO: better autoconf.pm that can return LIBS etc.
4 - fix another bug where filehandles could leak. 4
51.73
6 - AIX isn't being helpful again, hardcode a value for NAME_MAX
7 and drive with your eyes closed (reported by wcooley@nakedape.cc).

91.72 Thu Feb 2 00:40:44 CET 2006
10 - another minor bug in aio_scandir, again, the callback was called
11 twice when the directory can't be stat'ed.
12
131.71 Mon Dec 26 20:20:03 CET 2005
14 - grr, another minor bug in aio_scandir, this time resulting
15 in a runtime error.
16
171.7 Mon Dec 26 19:29:48 CET 2005
18 - aio_scandir errornously called callback twice in some cases.
19 - added AnyEvent example.

211.61 Wed Sep 7 19:40:42 CEST 2005
22 - no longer include $Config{libs}, as distros include too much
23 garbage in there that is not installed on typical systems
24 (for example, debian links perl against -lgdbm and many more
25 libraries despite perl not needing it, slowing down startup and
26 wasting memory).
27
281.6 Tue Aug 30 17:44:44 CEST 2005
29 - added aio_readdir, aio_scandir.
30 - added aio_sendfile, including sendfile emulation when sendfile
31 isn't available. Linux, FreeBSD and HP-UX might work (sendfilev
32 support is unavailable on my solaris 8 machine, but preliminary
33 code is there. What's lacking is configury stuff and testing...).
34
351.5 Sat Aug 20 02:32:19 CEST 2005
36 - create the aio threads on demand only (good after forking).
37 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should
38 be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones.
39 - abort when the configure script fails.
40
411.4 Wed Aug 17 08:07:27 CEST 2005
42 - forget to recreate the pipe after forking, this could cause
43 deadlocks.
44
451.3 Wed Aug 17 07:25:54 CEST 2005
46 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
47 eating them.
48 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback
49 invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes.
50 - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong
51 length after reading.
52 - fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests
53 from the parent.
54 - make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon
55 (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes.
56 - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write.
57 - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data
58 scalar for better error reporting.

601.2 Wed Aug 17 01:22:58 CEST 2005
61 - verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris.

64 - fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again).

10 posix contradict each other, I followed posix). 68 posix contradict each other, I followed posix).
