2 2
3ZERO_RETURN - stoptls? 3 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
4 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
5 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
6 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
7 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
8 documentation.
9 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
10 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
11 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
12 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
13 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
14 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.

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

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

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

55 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
56 uppercase targets.
57 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
58 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
59 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
4 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context 60 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context

13 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method. 69 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
14 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's 70 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
15 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available). 71 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
72 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.

19 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first, 76 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
20 then fall back to JSON. 77 then fall back to JSON.
78 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
