3 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
4 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
5 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
6 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
7 in IO::ASync.

10 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
11 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
12 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
13 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
14 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
15 documentation.
16 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
17 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
18 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
19 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
20 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
21 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
22
234.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
24 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
25 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
26 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
27 this trap.
28 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
29 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
30 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
31 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
32 on_read callbacks.
33 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
34
354.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
36 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
37 callbacks.
38 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
39 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
40 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
41 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
42 Event::Lib.
43 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
44 to rarely fail.
45
464.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
47 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
48 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
49 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
50 in AnyEvent->io.
51 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
52 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
53 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
54 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
55 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
56 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
57 portable_socketpair.
58 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
59 YMMV.

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

3 - preliminary and neecssarily incomplete support for IO::Async. 104 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
4 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in 105 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
5 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses 106 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
6 even when the calling env acts stupidly. 107 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
108 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
