3	TODO: testsuite, now that we can be sure that a model is available at all times	3	TODO: exceptbit
		4	- try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
		5	as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck.
		6	- properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
		7	- check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
		8	support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INEt6 constants for the
		9	sake of perl 5.8.
		10	- vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
		11	(still a hack...)
		12	- try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
		13	- splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
		14	die handlers.

5	2.1	16	4.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
		17	- work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
		18	error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
		19	- fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
		20	- AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
		21	- fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
		22	- updated documentation.
		23	- lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
		24	- implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
		25	in AnyEvent::Handle.
		26	- support IPv6 in tcp_server.
		27	- pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
		28	- make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
		29	- croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
		30
		31	4.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
		32	- added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
		33	- added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
		34	- added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
		35	- make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
		36	- make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
		37	- overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
		38	- support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
		39	verbatim ip addresses.
		40	- AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
		41	- try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
		42	- make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
		43	- support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
		44	- work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
		45	become writable untill empty.
		46	- only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
		47	returns ENOTCONN.
		48	- defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
		49	override.
		50	- new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
		51
		52	3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
		53	- gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
		54	(as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
		55	- added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
		56	helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
		57	- added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
		58	- added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
		59	- AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
		60	- fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
		61	first and second argument.
		62	- simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
		63	- fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
		64	- considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
		65	cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
		66	and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
		67
		68	3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
		69	- work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
		70
		71	3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
		72	- complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
		73	API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
		74	- AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
		75	(still subject to change).
		76	- take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
		77	- provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
		78	allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
		79	(used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
		80	- remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
		81	via Coro::AnyEvent.
		82
		83	3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
		84	- added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
		85	- fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
		86	when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
		87	- add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
		88	the different event loops with each other.
		89	- prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
		90	but doesn't crash with many watchers.
		91	- declare Qt support non-experimental.
		92	- clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
		93	kept alive.
		94	- document the race between loading of an event module and
		95	child processes exiting.
		96	- support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
		97	enough, and darn slow).
		98	- support Wx and Prima through POE.
		99	- optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
		100	of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
		101	select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
		102	faster than Event and Glib :).
		103	- roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
		104	by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
		105	to other event loops where possible.
		106
		107	3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
		108	- do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
		109	in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
		110	for the same fh/poll combo).
		111	- support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
		112	- implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
		113	- (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
		114	- (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
		115	- this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
		116
		117	3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
		118	- reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
		119	- do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
		120	strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
		121	- use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
		122	better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
		123	- do not send the signal to the process group
		124	(no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
		125
		126	3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
		127	- major documentation rework.
		128	- document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
		129	- fix the child watcher example.
		130
		131	3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
		132	- work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
		133	only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
		134	don't get fixed anytime soon).
		135	- lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
		136	(as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
		137	such strong limits).
		138	- changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
		139	- explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
		140	unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
		141	any restrictions...).
		142	- add simple manpages for all backend modules.
		143
		144	3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
		145	- Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
		146	up the Coro implementation in general.
		147	- rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
		148	- add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
		149	help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
		150
		151	2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
		152	- update for EV 3.0 API changes.
		153
		154	2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
		155	- waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
		156	instead of reporting it to any watchers.
		157
		158	2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
		159	- force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
		160	too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
		161	- deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
		162	or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
		163	watcher emulation. Could help with hanging testsuite
		164	(except when Event or EV are installed).
		165
		166	2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
		167	- fix bug in testsuite.
		168	- move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
		169	- add Coro+EV adaptor module.
		170
		171	2.55 Tue Nov 6 17:41:32 CET 2007
		172	- add EV to the list of supported event models.
		173	- do not auto-reset pid watchers, pass pid and status to them.
		174	- allow a pid of zero to watch for all children in child watchers.
		175
		176	2.54 Wed Jul 18 17:36:23 CEST 2007
		177	- work around a perl bug that results in
		178	BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted without
		179	any discernible reason or error message by once
		180	again not use'ing strict.
		181
		182	2.53 Sun Jul 8 10:51:53 CEST 2007
		183	- make Glib interface work again (spotted by elmex).
		184
		185	2.52 Wed Mar 7 18:36:16 CET 2007
		186	- child watchers stopped working permanently when
		187	all current child watchers were destroyed.
		188
		189	2.51 Mon Dec 11 21:33:24 CET 2006
		190	- work around bugs in perl where eval "require Module" returns
		191	true even if the module couldn't be loaded :/.
		192
		193	2.5 Mon Dec 11 02:15:28 CET 2006
		194	- avoid $AUTOLOAD because many perls corrupt it.
		195	- AnyEvent::detect forces autodetection.
		196	- implement signal watchers (experimental)
		197	(Tk does not support async signals (<= 804.027 at least),
		198	so they might get delayed indefinitely on Tk).
		199	- implement child watchers (experimental).
		200	- moved default condvar implementation into base module, simplifying
		201	most implementation modules.
		202
		203	2.1 Fri Nov 24 15:50:48 CET 2006
