3TODO: implement condvars...
4 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
5 - provide @AnyEvent::detect.
6 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
7 via Coro::AnyEvent.

93.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
10 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
11 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
12 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
13 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
14 the different event loops with each other.
15 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
16 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
17 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
18 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
19 kept alive.
20 - document the race between loading of an event module and
21 child processes exiting.
22 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
23 enough, and darn slow).
24 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
25 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
26 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
27 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
28 faster than Event and Glib :).
29 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
30 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
31 to other event loops where possible.
32
333.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
34 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
35 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
36 for the same fh/poll combo).
37 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
38 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
39 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
40 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
41 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.

433.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
44 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
45 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
46 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
47 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
48 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
49 - do not send the signal to the process group
50 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
51
523.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
53 - major documentation rework.
54 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
55 - fix the child watcher example.

60 don't get fixed anytime soon).
5 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction. 61 - lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction

63 such strong limits).
