31.3 3TODO: better autoconf.pm that can return LIBS etc.
4TODO: use feeder for aio_scandir.
5TODO: -lock/unlock, +callback/etc.
6
72.0
8 - aio requests can be cancelled.
9 - add aio_group: aio requests can be grouped.
10 - implement generator interface for groups.
11 - major documentation improvements.
12 - very minor bugfixes.
13 - add aio_nop for dummy requests.
14 - add aio_sleep mainly for benchmarking and debugging.
15 - deprecated max_outstanding.
16
171.8 Sat Jun 24 22:20:44 CEST 2006
18 - add and/or document aio_rename, aio_link, aio_symlink and aio_move.
19
201.73 Wed Mar 1 22:49:32 CET 2006
21 - codename "jost"
22 - AIX/Solaris(?) aren't being helpful again, hardcode a value
23 for NAME_MAX and drive with your eyes closed (reported by
24 wcooley@nakedape.cc).
25
261.72 Thu Feb 2 00:40:44 CET 2006
27 - another minor bug in aio_scandir, again, the callback was called
28 twice when the directory can't be stat'ed.
29
301.71 Mon Dec 26 20:20:03 CET 2005
31 - grr, another minor bug in aio_scandir, this time resulting
32 in a runtime error.
33
341.7 Mon Dec 26 19:29:48 CET 2005
35 - aio_scandir errornously called callback twice in some cases.
36 - added AnyEvent example.
37
381.61 Wed Sep 7 19:40:42 CEST 2005
39 - no longer include $Config{libs}, as distros include too much
40 garbage in there that is not installed on typical systems
41 (for example, debian links perl against -lgdbm and many more
42 libraries despite perl not needing it, slowing down startup and
43 wasting memory).
44
451.6 Tue Aug 30 17:44:44 CEST 2005
46 - added aio_readdir, aio_scandir.
47 - added aio_sendfile, including sendfile emulation when sendfile
48 isn't available. Linux, FreeBSD and HP-UX might work (sendfilev
49 support is unavailable on my solaris 8 machine, but preliminary
50 code is there. What's lacking is configury stuff and testing...).
51
521.5 Sat Aug 20 02:32:19 CEST 2005
53 - create the aio threads on demand only (good after forking).
54 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should
55 be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones.
56 - abort when the configure script fails.
57
581.4 Wed Aug 17 08:07:27 CEST 2005
59 - forget to recreate the pipe after forking, this could cause
60 deadlocks.

5 eating them. 64 eating them.
6 - be more careful during fork and allow recursive forks from within 65 - use a different fork algorithm that avoids recursive callback
7 atfork handlers *iff* the pthreads library in use allows it. 66 invocations and reduces fork latency in busy processes.
8 - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong 67 - fix a bug where the buffer scalar in aio_read got assigned the wrong
9 length after reading. 68 length after reading.

13 (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes. 72 (but valid) usages where the callback scalar changes.
14 - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write. 73 - the callback was never freed in aio_read/aio_write.
74 - aio_read/aio_write will now set the readonly flag on the data
75 scalar for better error reporting.
