224 - Added fsync, but will not be avaliable for use
225 unless HAS_FSYNC is defined, perls configure does not define

246 Sun 19 Jan 1997 <bodg@tiuk.ti.com> Graham Barr
248 o Updated PODs for IO::Handle and IO::File
249 o Modified IO.xs so that DESTROY gets called on IO::File
250 objects that were created with IO::File->new_tmpfile
251 o Modified the domain2pkg code in IO::Socket so that it
252 does not use blessd refs
253 o Created a new package IO::Pipe::End so that pipe specific
254 stuff can be moved out of IO::Handle.
255 o Added Ilya's OS/2 changes to Pipe.pm and io_pipe.t
257 o These changes happened somtime before the release of 1.15
258 - added shutdown to IO::Socket
259 - modified connect to not use alarm

266 o Updated to patches in perl core dist.
267 o Added C<use strict> to all modules
268 o Modified t/io_sock.t, hopefully the race condition has gone
269 o Added close statements to reader/writer in IO::Pipe
270 o IO::Handle::syswrite was calling sysread, fixed :-)
274 Thu 19 Sep 1996 <bodg@tiuk.ti.com> Graham Barr
276 o Modified IO.xs so that it will compile with pre perlio version
277 of perl (ie pre perl5.003_02)

279 if the socket is connected
283 Mon 11 Sep 1996 <bodg@tiuk.ti.com> Graham Barr
285 o Fixed a bug in IO::Socket which caused DESTROY to be called
286 on a partly initialised connection
287 o Changed IO.xs to use Perlio
288 o Modified usage message to report correct package
289 o Added IO::File::new changes from Chip, to allow PERM to be passed
290 o Added sysread and syswrite methods to IO::Handle
291 o Updated documentation
292 o Fixed a bug in IO::Select that caused a hang if the last handle
294 o Added count method to IO::Select
295 o Renamed and modified tests so that they can be copied into the
297 o Added fcntl and ioctl methods to IO::Handle
299 Thu 25 Jul 1996 <bodg@tiuk.ti.com> Graham Barr
301 o It is now not necessary to call the domain sub-classes of
302 IO::Socket. when connect is called it notes the domain.
303 Domain specific methods, which are normally non-critical, are
304 called via this note-ing.
305 o Added methods to IO::Socket to retrieve the domain, type and
306 protocol of a given socket
308 Tue 23 Jul 1996 <bodg@tiuk.ti.com> Graham Barr
310 o IO::Socket::connect changed how we do timeouts, as it did not work
312 o IO::Handle::new_from_fd removed method call to _ref_fd, which was
313 a leftover from FileHandle
315 Fri 28 Jun 1996 <bodg@tiuk.ti.com> Graham Barr
317 o Modified IO::Socket::UNIX::configure to default to using a socket
318 type of SOCK_STREAM if no type is specified.
