3TODO: implement condvars...
4 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
5 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
6 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
7 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
8 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
9 via Coro::AnyEvent.

113.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
12 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
13 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
14 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
15 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
16 the different event loops with each other.
17 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
18 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
19 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
20 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
21 kept alive.
22 - document the race between loading of an event module and
23 child processes exiting.
24 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
25 enough, and darn slow).
26 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
27 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
28 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
29 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
30 faster than Event and Glib :).
31 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
32 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
33 to other event loops where possible.
34
353.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
36 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
37 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
38 for the same fh/poll combo).
39 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
40 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
41 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
42 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
43 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
44
453.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
46 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
47 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
48 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
49 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
50 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
51 - do not send the signal to the process group
52 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
53
543.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
55 - major documentation rework.
56 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
57 - fix the child watcher example.

4 only method with good success chances to work on Tk. 61 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
62 don't get fixed anytime soon).
5 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction. 63 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
64 (as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
65 such strong limits).
6 - changed probe ordet to ptefer coro adaptors. 66 - changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
67 - explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
68 unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
69 any restrictions...).
70 - add simple manpages for all backend modules.
