288 Sun 19 Jan 1997 <bodg@tiuk.ti.com> Graham Barr
290 o Updated PODs for IO::Handle and IO::File
291 o Modified IO.xs so that DESTROY gets called on IO::File
292 objects that were created with IO::File->new_tmpfile
293 o Modified the domain2pkg code in IO::Socket so that it
294 does not use blessd refs
295 o Created a new package IO::Pipe::End so that pipe specific
296 stuff can be moved out of IO::Handle.
297 o Added Ilya's OS/2 changes to Pipe.pm and io_pipe.t
299 o These changes happened somtime before the release of 1.15
300 - added shutdown to IO::Socket

311 o Added close statements to reader/writer in IO::Pipe
312 o IO::Handle::syswrite was calling sysread, fixed :-)
316 Thu 19 Sep 1996 <bodg@tiuk.ti.com> Graham Barr
318 o Modified IO.xs so that it will compile with pre perlio version
319 of perl (ie pre perl5.003_02)

321 if the socket is connected
325 Mon 11 Sep 1996 <bodg@tiuk.ti.com> Graham Barr

328 on a partly initialised connection
329 o Changed IO.xs to use Perlio
330 o Modified usage message to report correct package
331 o Added IO::File::new changes from Chip, to allow PERM to be passed

334 o Fixed a bug in IO::Select that caused a hang if the last handle
336 o Added count method to IO::Select

339 o Added fcntl and ioctl methods to IO::Handle
341 Thu 25 Jul 1996 <bodg@tiuk.ti.com> Graham Barr
343 o It is now not necessary to call the domain sub-classes of
344 IO::Socket. when connect is called it notes the domain.
345 Domain specific methods, which are normally non-critical, are
346 called via this note-ing.
347 o Added methods to IO::Socket to retrieve the domain, type and
348 protocol of a given socket
350 Tue 23 Jul 1996 <bodg@tiuk.ti.com> Graham Barr
352 o IO::Socket::connect changed how we do timeouts, as it did not work
354 o IO::Handle::new_from_fd removed method call to _ref_fd, which was
355 a leftover from FileHandle
357 Fri 28 Jun 1996 <bodg@tiuk.ti.com> Graham Barr
359 o Modified IO::Socket::UNIX::configure to default to using a socket
360 type of SOCK_STREAM if no type is specified.
