*** Release 1.16

Mon 15 Sep 1997 <gbarr@pobox.com> Graham Barr

New modules
- IO::Dir
- IO::Poll
IO::Socket
- Changed new to call autoflush on the new socket
- IO::Socket::INET->new now accepts a single argument
- IO::Socket::INET default to protocol 'tcp'
IO::File
- Added doc for new_tmpfile
IO::Handle
- Removed use of AutoLoader for constants, constants are now defined as constant XS subs
- Added fsync, but will not be avaliable for use unless HAS_FSYNC is defined, perls configure does not define this yet.
- Moved bootstrap of IO.xs to IO.pm. IO::Handle no longer contains an AUTOLOAD sub in it's ISA hier
IO::Seekable
- Remove clearerr, as it is defined in IO.xs
IO.xs
- Patched IO.xs with patch from Chip for setvbuf warning
- Added XS sub "constant" for backwards compatability
Misc
- Fixed IO::Socket::configure, it was not passing $arg to domain specific package
- Changed all $fh variables in IO::Handle to $io and all $fh variables in IO::Socket to $sock as Chip suggested
- Fixed usage messages to be consistant

*** Release 1.15

Sun 19 Jan 1997 <bodg@tiuk.ti.com> Graham Barr

Updated PODs for IO::Handle and IO::File
Modified IO.xs so that DESTROY gets called on IO::File objects that were created with IO::File->new_tmpfile
Modified the domain2pkg code in IO::Socket so that it does not use blessd refs
Created a new package IO::Pipe::End so that pipe specific stuff can be moved out of IO::Handle.
Added Ilya's OS/2 changes to Pipe.pm and io_pipe.t
These changes happened somtime before the release of 1.15
- added shutdown to IO::Socket
- modified connect to not use alarm
- modified accept and connect to use IO::Select

*** Release 1.14

Tue 24 Dec 1996 <bodg@tiuk.ti.com> Graham Barr

Updated to patches in perl core dist.
Added C<use strict> to all modules
Modified t/io_sock.t, hopefully the race condition has gone
Added close statements to reader/writer in IO::Pipe
IO::Handle::syswrite was calling sysread, fixed :-)

*** Release 1.12

Thu 19 Sep 1996 <bodg@tiuk.ti.com> Graham Barr

Modified IO.xs so that it will compile with pre perlio version of perl (ie pre perl5.003_02)
Modified IO::Socket::send so not to pass 4 arguments to send if the socket is connected

*** Release 1.10

Mon 11 Sep 1996 <bodg@tiuk.ti.com> Graham Barr

Fixed a bug in IO::Socket which caused DESTROY to be called on a partly initialised connection
Changed IO.xs to use Perlio
Modified usage message to report correct package
Added IO::File::new changes from Chip, to allow PERM to be passed
Added sysread and syswrite methods to IO::Handle
Updated documentation
Fixed a bug in IO::Select that caused a hang if the last handle was removed.
Added count method to IO::Select
Renamed and modified tests so that they can be copied into the perl distribution
Added fcntl and ioctl methods to IO::Handle

Thu 25 Jul 1996 <bodg@tiuk.ti.com> Graham Barr

It is now not necessary to call the domain sub-classes of IO::Socket. when connect is called it notes the domain. Domain specific methods, which are normally non-critical, are called via this note-ing.
Added methods to IO::Socket to retrieve the domain, type and protocol of a given socket

Tue 23 Jul 1996 <bodg@tiuk.ti.com> Graham Barr

IO::Socket::connect changed how we do timeouts, as it did not work
IO::Handle::new_from_fd removed method call to reffd, which was a leftover from FileHandle

Fri 28 Jun 1996 <bodg@tiuk.ti.com> Graham Barr

Modified IO::Socket::UNIX::configure to default to using a socket type of SOCK_STREAM if no type is specified.
