72.1 Sun Oct 29 02:01:57 CET 2006
8 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace IO::AIO::poll_some by
9 IO::AIO::max_poll_reqs and IO::AIO::max_poll_time.
10 - fix a bug in aio_move where it would fail everytime
11 it would have to copy files manually.
12 - doc updates.
13 - start threads only on (very low) demand.
14 - end superfluous threads automatically after 10s idling.
15 - add IO::AIO::max_idle to control this.
16 - some tuning applied to random places.
17 - add aio_mknod.

192.0 Thu Oct 26 18:27:58 CEST 2006
20 - minor incompatibility: max_outstanding semantics have changed.
21 - major rewrite, consider all functionality EXPERIMENTAL.
22 - aio requests can be cancelled.
23 - callbacks can be (re-)set later.
24 - aio requests can choose between 9 priorities.
25 - add aio_group: aio requests can be grouped
26 into composite requests.
27 - generator interface for groups.
28 - add IO::AIO::poll_some.
29 - major documentation improvements.
30 - very minor bugfixes.
31 - add aio_nop for dummy requests.
32 - add aio_busy mainly for benchmarking and debugging.
33 - use "fast" mutexes on linux.
34 - use dynamic (and larger) buffers instead of
35 putting them onto the stack.
36 - optimise x86 and amd64 a bit.
37 - better error checking when ENOMEM.
38 - hopefully fix mem and dirp leaks on fork.
39 - warn about broken perl malloc.
40 - compiles on cygwin (but pread is broken on cygwin
41 which is not detected by autoconf, so you have to
42 edit autoconf/config.h yourself to enable emulation).
43
441.8 Sat Jun 24 22:20:44 CEST 2006
45 - add and/or document aio_rename, aio_link, aio_symlink and aio_move.
46
471.73 Wed Mar 1 22:49:32 CET 2006
48 - codename "jost"
49 - AIX/Solaris(?) aren't being helpful again, hardcode a value
50 for NAME_MAX and drive with your eyes closed (reported by
51 wcooley@nakedape.cc).
52
531.72 Thu Feb 2 00:40:44 CET 2006
54 - another minor bug in aio_scandir, again, the callback was called
55 twice when the directory can't be stat'ed.
56
571.71 Mon Dec 26 20:20:03 CET 2005
58 - grr, another minor bug in aio_scandir, this time resulting
59 in a runtime error.
60
611.7 Mon Dec 26 19:29:48 CET 2005
62 - aio_scandir errornously called callback twice in some cases.
63 - added AnyEvent example.
64
651.61 Wed Sep 7 19:40:42 CEST 2005
66 - no longer include $Config{libs}, as distros include too much
67 garbage in there that is not installed on typical systems
68 (for example, debian links perl against -lgdbm and many more
69 libraries despite perl not needing it, slowing down startup and
70 wasting memory).
71
721.6 Tue Aug 30 17:44:44 CEST 2005
73 - added aio_readdir, aio_scandir.
74 - added aio_sendfile, including sendfile emulation when sendfile
75 isn't available. Linux, FreeBSD and HP-UX might work (sendfilev
76 support is unavailable on my solaris 8 machine, but preliminary
77 code is there. What's lacking is configury stuff and testing...).

791.5 Sat Aug 20 02:32:19 CEST 2005
4 - create the aio threads on demand only. 80 - create the aio threads on demand only (good after forking).
5 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should 81 - somebody nagged about C89 compatibility, so this release should
6 be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones. 82 be C89 compatible, but no guarantees for future ones.
83 - abort when the configure script fails.

9 - forget to recreate the pipe after forking, this could cause 86 - forgot to recreate the pipe after forking, this could cause
10 deadlocks. 87 deadlocks.

121.3 Wed Aug 17 07:25:54 CEST 2005 891.3 Wed Aug 17 07:25:54 CEST 2005
13 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently 90 - properly propagate exceptions from callbacks, instead of silently
14 eating them. 91 eating them.
