Changes for version 4.0 - 2011-07-18

  • INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was), see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
  • passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
  • (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when a timeout occured at the same time.
  • (libeio) added realpath.
  • (libeio) added fallocate.
  • (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
  • (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
  • (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
