3 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
4 returns ENOTCONN.

63.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
7 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
8 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
9 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
10 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
11 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
12 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
13 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
14 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
15 first and second argument.
16 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
17 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
18 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
19 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
20 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
21
223.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
23 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
24
253.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
26 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
27 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
28 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
29 (still subject to change).
30 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
31 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
32 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
33 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
34 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
35 via Coro::AnyEvent.
36
373.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
38 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
39 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
40 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
41 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
42 the different event loops with each other.
43 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
44 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
45 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
46 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
47 kept alive.
48 - document the race between loading of an event module and
49 child processes exiting.
50 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
51 enough, and darn slow).
52 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
53 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
54 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
55 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
56 faster than Event and Glib :).
57 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
58 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
59 to other event loops where possible.
60
613.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
62 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
63 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
64 for the same fh/poll combo).
65 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
66 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
67 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
68 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
69 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
70
713.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
72 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
73 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
74 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
75 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
76 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
77 - do not send the signal to the process group
78 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
79
803.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
81 - major documentation rework.
82 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
83 - fix the child watcher example.

88 don't get fixed anytime soon).
