4 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
5 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
6 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
7 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
8 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
9 tutorial accordingly.
10 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
11
124.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
13 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
14 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
15 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
16 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
17 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
18 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
19 in IO::ASync.

214.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
22 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
23 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
24 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
25 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
26 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
27 documentation.
28 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
29 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
30 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
31 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
32 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
33 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
34
354.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
36 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
37 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
38 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
39 this trap.
40 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
41 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
42 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
43 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
44 on_read callbacks.
45 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
46
474.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
48 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
49 callbacks.
50 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
51 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
52 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
53 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
54 Event::Lib.
55 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
56 to rarely fail.
57
584.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
59 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
60 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
61 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
62 in AnyEvent->io.
63 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
64 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
65 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
66 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
67 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
68 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
69 portable_socketpair.
70 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
71 YMMV.
72
734.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
74 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
75 uppercase targets.
76 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
77 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
78 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
79 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
80 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
81 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
82 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
83 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
84 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
85 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
86 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
87 in the common case.
88 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
89 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
90 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
91 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
92 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
93 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
94 from the constructor.
95 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
96 then fall back to JSON.
97 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
98 and because it was documented that way.
99
1004.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
101 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
102 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
103
1044.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
105 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
106 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
107 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
108 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
109 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
110 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
111 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
112 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
113 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
114
1154.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
116 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
117 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
118 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
119 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
120 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
121
1224.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
123 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
124 and set it on the default resolver.
125 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
126 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
127 when running in tainted mode.
128 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
129
1304.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
131 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
132
1334.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
134 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
135 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
136 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
137 destructors.
138 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
139 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
140 implementation.
3 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name. 141 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
142 for cosmetic reasons.
