31.3 3TODO: better autoconf.pm that can return LIBS etc.
4TODO: use feeder for aio_scandir.

62.0
7 - aio requests can be cancelled.
8 - add aio_group: aio requests can be grouped.
9 - implement generator interface for groups.
10 - add aio_sleep mainly for benchmarking and debugging.
11 - major documentation improvements.
12 - very minor bugfixes.

141.8 Sat Jun 24 22:20:44 CEST 2006
15 - add and/or document aio_rename, aio_link, aio_symlink and aio_move.

171.73 Wed Mar 1 22:49:32 CET 2006
18 - codename "jost"
19 - AIX/Solaris(?) aren't being helpful again, hardcode a value
20 for NAME_MAX and drive with your eyes closed (reported by
21 wcooley@nakedape.cc).
22
231.72 Thu Feb 2 00:40:44 CET 2006
24 - another minor bug in aio_scandir, again, the callback was called
25 twice when the directory can't be stat'ed.
26
271.71 Mon Dec 26 20:20:03 CET 2005
28 - grr, another minor bug in aio_scandir, this time resulting
29 in a runtime error.
30
311.7 Mon Dec 26 19:29:48 CET 2005
32 - aio_scandir errornously called callback twice in some cases.
33 - added AnyEvent example.
34
351.61 Wed Sep 7 19:40:42 CEST 2005
36 - no longer include $Config{libs}, as distros include too much
37 garbage in there that is not installed on typical systems
38 (for example, debian links perl against -lgdbm and many more
39 libraries despite perl not needing it, slowing down startup and
40 wasting memory).
41
421.6 Tue Aug 30 17:44:44 CEST 2005
43 - added aio_readdir, aio_scandir.
44 - added aio_sendfile, including sendfile emulation when sendfile
45 isn't available. Linux, FreeBSD and HP-UX might work (sendfilev
46 support is unavailable on my solaris 8 machine, but preliminary
47 code is there. What's lacking is configury stuff and testing...).
48
491.5 Sat Aug 20 02:32:19 CEST 2005
50 - create the aio threads on demand only (good after forking).
51 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should
52 be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones.
53 - abort when the configure script fails.
54
551.4 Wed Aug 17 08:07:27 CEST 2005
56 - forget to recreate the pipe after forking, this could cause
57 deadlocks.

4 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently 60 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
5 eating them. 61 eating them.
62 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback
63 invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes.
64 - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong
65 length after reading.
66 - fix a bug where the child would process some outstanding requests
67 from the parent.
68 - make a copy of the callback scalar, to avoid some very uncommon
69 (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes.
70 - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write.
71 - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data
72 scalar for better error reporting.
