		1277	=head1 PORTING FROM AnyEvent::MP VERSION 1.X
		1278
		1279	AEMP version 2 has a few major incompatible changes compared to version 1:
		1280
		1281	=over 4
		1282
		1283	=item AnyEvent::MP::Global no longer has group management functions.
		1284
		1285	At least not officially - the grp_* functions are still exported and might
		1286	work, but they will be removed in some later release.
		1287
		1288	AnyEvent::MP now comes with a distributed database that is more
		1289	powerful. Its database families map closely to port groups, but the API
		1290	has changed (the functions are also now exported by AnyEvent::MP). Here is
		1291	a rough porting guide:
		1292
		1293	grp_reg $group, $port # old
		1294	db_reg $group, $port # new
		1295
		1296	$list = grp_get $group # old
		1297	db_keys $group, sub { my $list = shift } # new
		1298
		1299	grp_mon $group, $cb->(\@ports, $add, $del) # old
		1300	db_mon $group, $cb->(\%ports, $add, $change, $del) # new
		1301
		1302	C<grp_reg> is a no-brainer (just replace by C<db_reg>), but C<grp_get> is
		1303	no longer instant, because the local node might not have a copy of the
		1304	group. You can either modify your code to allow for a callback, or use
		1305	C<db_mon> to keep an updated copy of the group:
		1306
		1307	my $local_group_copy;
		1308	db_mon $group => sub { $local_group_copy = $_[0] };
		1309
		1310	# now "keys %$local_group_copy" always returns the most up-to-date
		1311	# list of ports in the group.
		1312
		1313	C<grp_mon> can be replaced by C<db_mon> with minor changes - C<db_mon>
		1314	passes a hash as first argument, and an extra C<$chg> argument that can be
		1315	ignored:
		1316
		1317	db_mon $group => sub {
		1318	my ($ports, $add, $chg, $del) = @_;
		1319	$ports = [keys %$ports];
		1320
		1321	# now $ports, $add and $del are the same as
		1322	# were originally passed by grp_mon.
		1323	...
		1324	};
		1325
		1326	=item Nodes not longer connect to all other nodes.
		1327
		1328	In AEMP 1.x, every node automatically loads the L<AnyEvent::MP::Global>
		1329	module, which in turn would create connections to all other nodes in the
		1330	network (helped by the seed nodes).
		1331
		1332	In version 2.x, global nodes still connect to all other global nodes, but
		1333	other nodes don't - now every node either is a global node itself, or
		1334	attaches itself to another global node.
		1335
		1336	If a node isn't a global node itself, then it attaches itself to one
		1337	of its seed nodes. If that seed node isn't a global node yet, it will
		1338	automatically be upgraded to a global node.
		1339
		1340	So in many cases, nothing needs to be changed - one just has to make sure
		1341	that all seed nodes are meshed together with the other seed nodes (as with
		1342	AEMP 1.x), and other nodes specify them as seed nodes. This is most easily
		1343	achieved by specifying the same set of seed nodes for all nodes in the
		1344	network.
		1345
		1346	Not opening a connection to every other node is usually an advantage,
		1347	except when you need the lower latency of an already established
		1348	connection. To ensure a node establishes a connection to another node,
		1349	you can monitor the node port (C<mon $node, ...>), which will attempt to
		1350	create the connection (and notify you when the connection fails).
		1351
		1352	=item Listener-less nodes (nodes without binds) are gone.
		1353
		1354	And are not coming back, at least not in their old form. If no C<binds>
		1355	are specified for a node, AnyEvent::MP assumes a default of C<:>.
		1356
		1357	There are vague plans to implement some form of routing domains, which
		1358	might or might not bring back listener-less nodes, but don't count on it.
		1359
		1360	The fact that most connections are now optional somewhat mitigates this,
		1361	as a node can be effectively unreachable from the outside without any
		1362	problems, as long as it isn't a global node and only reaches out to other
		1363	nodes (as opposed to being contacted from other nodes).
		1364
		1365	=item $AnyEvent::MP::Kernel::WARN has gone.
		1366
		1367	AnyEvent has acquired a logging framework (L<AnyEvent::Log>), and AEMP now
		1368	uses this, and so should your programs.
		1369
		1370	Every module now documents what kinds of messages it generates, with
		1371	AnyEvent::MP acting as a catch all.
		1372
		1373	On the positive side, this means that instead of setting
		1374	C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MP_WARNLEVEL>, you can get away by setting C<AE_VERBOSE> -
		1375	much less to type.
		1376
		1377	=back
		1378
		1379	=head1 LOGGING
		1380
		1381	AnyEvent::MP does not normally log anything by itself, but since it is the
		1382	root of the context hierarchy for AnyEvent::MP modules, it will receive
		1383	all log messages by submodules.
