IO 1.49_01
* Update IO.xs to conform to ppport.h 3.68 recommendations
IO 1.49

* Put IO::Socket constructor error messages in $IO::Socket::errstr as well
as $@, to encourage better practices
IO 1.44
* IO::Handle::error() now checks both the input and output stream
for error. This is an issue for sockets and character devices. GH #6799
* IO::Handle::clearerr() now clears the error on both input and
output streams.
IO 1.43
* only cache the protocol for sockets when one is supplied,
otherwise protocol could return an incorrect protocol. This means
that on platforms that don't support SO_PROTOCOL (or don't support
it for some socket types) protocol() can now return undef.

IO 1.34 -- Sep 10 2014 (Not released to CPAN)
* Add dual life support for use of op_sibling in IO.xs
IO 1.33 -- Jun 10 2014 (Not released to CPAN)
* wrap op_sibling field access in OP_SIBLING* macros
* Make like() and unlike() in t/test.pl refuse non-qr// arguments
* Further simplify the sockatmark(). (And do not assign the fd in PREINIT.)
IO 1.32 -- May 29 2014 (Not released to CPAN)
* fcntl receiving -1 from fileno, fcntl failing.
* Also very few spots of negative numgroups for getgroups(), and fgetc() return, but almost all checking is for fcntl.
* merged fix for perl #121743 and perl #121745: hopefully picked up all the fixes-to-fixes from the ticket.
* Fix for Coverity perl5 CIDs 28990..29003,29005..29011,29013,45354,45363,49926
* Argument cannot be negative (NEGATIVE_RETURNS) fd is passed to a parameter that cannot be negative.
* CIDs 29004, 29012: Argument cannot be negative (NEGATIVE_RETURNS) num_groups is passed to a parameter that cannot be negative and because of CIDs 29005 and 29006 also CID 28924.
* In the first set of issues a fd is retrieved from PerlIO_fileno, and that is then used in places like fstat(), fchown(), dup(), etc., without checking whether the fd is valid (>=0).
* In the second set of issues a potentially negative number is potentially passed to getgroups().
* The CIDs 29005 and 29006 were a bit messy: fixing them needed also resolving CID 28924 where the return value of fstat() was ignored, and for completeness adding two croak calls (with perldiag updates): a bit of a waste since it's suidperl code.
IO 1.31 -- Mar 4 2014 (Not released to CPAN)
* dist/IO: Allow to be dual-lived - This dual-lived module has not been able to be compiled on releases earlier than 5.10.1.

IO 1.29 -- Mar 15 2013 (Not released to CPAN)
* Use separate macros for byte vs uv Unicode
* IO::Socket::INET's documentation for its Listen parameter was somewhat misleading, and the documentation for IO::Socket::Unix even more so.

o 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'
o IO::File
- Added doc for new_tmpfile
o IO::Handle
- Removed use of AutoLoader for constants, constants are
now defined as constant XS subs
- Added fsync, but will not be available 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
o IO::Seekable
- Remove clearerr, as it is defined in IO.xs
o IO.xs
- Patched IO.xs with patch from Chip for setvbuf warning
- Added XS sub "constant" for backwards compatibility
o 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 consistent
*** Release 1.15
Sun 19 Jan 1997 <bodg@tiuk.ti.com> Graham Barr
o Updated PODs for IO::Handle and IO::File
o Modified IO.xs so that DESTROY gets called on IO::File
objects that were created with IO::File->new_tmpfile
o Modified the domain2pkg code in IO::Socket so that it
does not use blessed refs
o Created a new package IO::Pipe::End so that pipe specific
stuff can be moved out of IO::Handle.
o Added Ilya's OS/2 changes to Pipe.pm and io_pipe.t
o These changes happened sometime before the release of 1.15
- added shutdown to IO::Socket
- modified connect to not use alarm

of perl (ie pre perl5.003_02)
o 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
o Fixed a bug in IO::Socket which caused DESTROY to be called
on a partly initialised connection
o Changed IO.xs to use Perlio
o Modified usage message to report correct package
o Added IO::File::new changes from Chip, to allow PERM to be passed
o Added sysread and syswrite methods to IO::Handle

was removed.
o Added count method to IO::Select
o Renamed and modified tests so that they can be copied into the
perl distribution
o Added fcntl and ioctl methods to IO::Handle
Thu 25 Jul 1996 <bodg@tiuk.ti.com> Graham Barr
o 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.
o 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
o IO::Socket::connect changed how we do timeouts, as it did not work
o IO::Handle::new_from_fd removed method call to _ref_fd, which was
a leftover from FileHandle
Fri 28 Jun 1996 <bodg@tiuk.ti.com> Graham Barr
o Modified IO::Socket::UNIX::configure to default to using a socket
type of SOCK_STREAM if no type is specified.
