Changes for version 4.6 - 2018-08-25

  • add st_btime, st_btimesec, st_btimensec and st_gen accessors, mostly for bsds which expose birthtime and st_gen members (netbsd, freebsd but only st_gen on openbsd because they compiled their perl without support for birthtimes).
  • fix madvise and munlock to properly support negative offsets.
  • allocate fd for the aio_close at boot time, to guarantee it working later, rather than calling abort when it fails. also avoids close-on-exec race issues after module load.
  • #undef utime on win32, maybe this helps some reports of utime hangs.
  • minor doc improvements.
  • minor configure cleanups.
  • use $Config{perllibs} instead of libs for configure. might help people who didn'T install all perl dependencies (might break things as well).
