4 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
5 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
6 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
7 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
8 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
9 documentation.
10 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
11 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
12 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
13 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
14 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
15 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.

174.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
18 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
19 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
20 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
21 this trap.
22 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
23 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
24 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
25 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
26 on_read callbacks.
27 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.

294.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
30 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
31 callbacks.
32 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
33 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
34 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
35 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
36 Event::Lib.
37 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
38 to rarely fail.

404.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
41 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
42 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
43 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
44 in AnyEvent->io.
45 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
46 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
47 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
48 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
49 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
50 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
51 portable_socketpair.
52 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
53 YMMV.

554.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
56 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
57 uppercase targets.
58 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
59 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
60 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
61 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
62 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
63 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
64 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
65 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
66 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
67 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
68 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
69 in the common case.
70 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
71 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
72 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
73 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
74 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
75 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
76 from the constructor.
77 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
78 then fall back to JSON.
79 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
80 and because it was documented that way.
81
824.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
83 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
84 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
85
864.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
87 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
88 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
89 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
90 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
91 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
92 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
93 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
94 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
95 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.

3 - preliminary and neecssarily incomplete support for IO::Async. 98 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
4 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in 99 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
5 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses 100 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
6 even when the calling env acts stupidly. 101 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
102 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
