Version 12 of Active Block I/O Scheduling System
Release Notes: Regression tests were added for new buffer code (tests/nbuf/). A new "vector" variable type was added, which is a list of integers. SIGUSR1 is now dispatched to the "signal" function of the scheduler modules. Space for page pointers in the playout buffer is now allocated in page-sized chunks instead of a contiguous vector. Infrastructure for buffer resizing and queueing of asynchronous notifications was added. The code is now GCC 4.1.0 clean. Other minor updates and fixes were made.
