Changes for version 1.2 - 2005-08-17

  • verified on cygwin, linux/amd64+ia32+alpha, solaris.
  • use SvPVbyte for filenames now. You *need* to encode your strings to the external filename encoding first.
  • fix the bug where filehandles could leak (again).
  • clarify freebsd situation: make it work and tell me how, or go away with your underdocumented, broken and outdated OS.
  • fork'ing should now be officially supported (where linux and posix contradict each other, I followed posix).
  • only call read() once per poll, not twice (speedup).
  • new functions: aio_rmdir, aio_symlink.
  • force callback arguments to be undef or a reference, for better error catching.
