3 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
4 in AnyEvent->io.
5 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
6 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
7 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
8 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.

11 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
12 uppercase targets.
13 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
14 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
15 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
16 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
17 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
18 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
19 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
20 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
21 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
22 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
23 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
24 in the common case.
25 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
26 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
27 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
28 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
29 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
30 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
31 from the constructor.
32 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
33 then fall back to JSON.
34 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
35 and because it was documented that way.
36

38 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
39 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
40
414.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
42 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
43 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
44 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
45 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
46 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
47 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
48 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
49 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
50 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
51
524.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
53 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
54 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
55 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
56 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
57 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
58
594.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
60 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
61 and set it on the default resolver.
62 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
63 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
64 when running in tainted mode.
65 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
66
674.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
68 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
69
704.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
71 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
72 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
73 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
74 destructors.
75 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
76 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
77 implementation.
78 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
79 for cosmetic reasons.
80
814.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
82 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
83 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
84 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
85 - sped up Tk timer handling.
86 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
87 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
88 - fix Qt timers without interval.
89 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
90
914.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
92 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
93 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
94 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
95
964.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
97 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
98 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
99 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
100 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
101
1024.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
103 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
104 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
105 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
106 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
107 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
108 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
109 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
110 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
111 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
112 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
113 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
114
1154.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
116 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
117 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
118 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
119 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
120 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
121 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
122 backend.
123 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
