- Initial release
- Currently supports Linux/POSIX only

Relies on modifying the number of open file descriptors for a lockfile.
Currently implements the 2PL lock compatibility table:
| Lock type | read-lock | write-lock |
|---|---|---|
| read-lock | Y | N |
| write-lock | N | N |
Read locks are called "concurrent," and write locks are called "exclusive."
The API, the naming, and the implementation are all subjects to change until the first stable release (i.e. until version 1.0.0, or earlier if explicitly stated).
