3TODO: Event seems to have some racy signal handling.

54.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
6 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
7 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
8 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
9 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
10 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
11 documentation.
12 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
13 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
14 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
15 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
16 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
17 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.

194.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
20 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
21 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
22 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
23 this trap.
24 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
25 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
26 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
27 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
28 on_read callbacks.
29 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
30
314.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
32 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
33 callbacks.
34 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
35 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
36 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
37 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
38 Event::Lib.
39 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
40 to rarely fail.
41
424.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
43 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
44 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
45 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
46 in AnyEvent->io.
47 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
48 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
49 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
50 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
51 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
52 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
53 portable_socketpair.
54 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
55 YMMV.
56
574.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
58 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
59 uppercase targets.
60 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
61 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
62 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
63 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
64 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
65 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
66 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
67 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
68 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
69 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
70 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
71 in the common case.
72 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
73 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
74 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
75 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
76 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
77 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
78 from the constructor.
79 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
80 then fall back to JSON.
81 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
82 and because it was documented that way.
83
844.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
85 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
86 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
87
884.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
89 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
90 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
91 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
92 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
93 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
94 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
95 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
96 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
97 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.

7 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well. 104 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
