3TODO: document TCP_*** constants 3TODO: document TCP_*** constants
4TODO: catch AE::xxx for anyevent strict and anyevent debug
5TODO: anyevent::trace? or debug tracing all watchers?

8TODO: break the API and put the rr ttl where it belongs. 5TODO: log message level redistribute?
9TODO: Kevin Ryde (3.8K) 1 inbox Glib child processes 6TOOD: stop internals abusing
10 - add support for (currently third-party) AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK. 7TODO: AE::logger
8TODO: add debug/trace logging to some modules
9TODO: poe child watcher hang?
10TODO: $autload model kill?
11 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
12 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
13 to higher log levels to print by default.
14 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
15 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
16 of 127.0.0.1).
17 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
18 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
19 intervals.
20 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
21 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
22 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx.
23 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.

256.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
26 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
27 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
28 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
29 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
30 to work around.
31 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.
32
336.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011
34 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
35 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
36 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
37 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
38 AnyEvent::Socket.
39 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
40 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
41 methods.
42 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
43 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
44 - DEPRECIATION: please change
45 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
46 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
47 in your programs, for future compatibility.
48 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
49 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
50 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
51 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
52 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
53 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
54 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
55 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
56 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
57 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
58 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
59 a debug shell.
60 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
61 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
62 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
63 F</etc/hosts> can be found.
64 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
65 configuration.
66 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
67 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
68 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
69 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
70 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
71 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
72 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
73 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
74 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
75 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
76 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
77 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
78 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
79 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
80 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
81 and (newly introduced) in POE.
82 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
83 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
84 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
85 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
86 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
87 (reported by Gerald Galster).
88 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
89 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
90 do not support blocking waits.
91 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
92 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
93 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
94 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
95 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
96 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
97 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
98 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
99 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
100 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
101 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
102 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
103 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.

13 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time, 108 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
14 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti). 109 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
15 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly. 110 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
