10 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
11 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve directly,
12 and ->request and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions
13 such as AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected.
14 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
15 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
16 methods.
17 - DEPRECIATION: please change
18 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
19 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
20 in your programs, for future compatibility.
21 - new function: AnyEvent::postpone.
22 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
23 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
24 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
25 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
26 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
27 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
28 and (newly introduced) in POE.
29 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
30 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
31 - add support for (currently third-party) AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK.
32 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
33 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
34 (reported by Gerald Galster).
35 - resolve AnyEvent::Util::guard at first-use-time, not at load time,
36 for further speed and memory savings when not used.
37 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
38 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
39 do not support blocking waits.

415.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
42 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
43 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
44 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
45
465.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
47 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
48 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
49 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
50 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
51 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
52 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
53 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
54 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
55 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
56 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
57 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
58 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
59 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
60
615.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
62 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
63 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
64 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
65 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
66 documentation for caveats.
67 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
68 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
69 AnyEvent::Handle).
70 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
71 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
72
735.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
74 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
75 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
76 the availabilty of a default loop!
77 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
78 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
79 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
80 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
81 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
82 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
83 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
84 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.
85
865.29 Sun Dec 5 10:49:21 CET 2010
87 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
88 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
89 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
90 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
91 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
92 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
93 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
94 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
95 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
96 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
97 as part of the perl core.
98 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
99 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
100 minimal perl...).
101
1025.28 Wed Oct 13 04:14:23 CEST 2010
103 - due to a glitch, AnyEvent's internal getprotobyname wasn't
104 actually used in tcp_server.
105 - implement AnyEvent::CondVar->new method, which was documented but
106 missing.
107 - support autoloading of read types in unshift_read.
108 - AnyEvent::Strict: do the test for invalid fh arguments differently,
109 resulting in more informative error messages.
110 - new AnyEvent::FAQ manpage.
111 - clarify that you can actually call push_read etc. in on_read.
112 - put keys and certs in /tmp, not into the current directory,
113 and document this in the SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections
114 of AnyEvent::TLS.
115 - support ";" as resolv.conf comment character in AnyEvent::DNS, as
116 requested by Ron Isaacson.
117 - document $AnyEvent::DNS::RESOLVER variable.
118 - incorporated major typo patches by Abhijit Menon-Sen.
119 - AnyEvent::Handle now croaks when negative timeouts are passed.
120 - add a shitload of TCP_xxx sockopt name constants to AnyEvent::Util,
121 undocumented, but who knows when they might come in handy.
122
1235.271 Tue Jun 8 12:05:46 CEST 2010
124 - backport to perl 5.8.x.
125
1265.27 Sun Jun 6 12:12:05 CEST 2010
127 - postpone differently in AnyEvent::Socket now, as
128 when not, canceling the connection attempt might fail
129 (found by Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann).
130 - explicitly check for non-stream sockets in AE::Handle, too many
131 clueless people fell into the trap of this somehow working.
132 - simplified and reworked the "OTHER MODULES" section.
133 - better/more condvar examples.
134
1355.261 Wed Apr 28 16:13:36 CEST 2010
136 - AF_INET6 was not properly used from Socket6 during configuration
137 time (found by Andy Grundman).
138
1395.26 Mon Apr 12 04:49:35 CEST 2010
140 - don't generate spurious readyness notifications when select
141 returns EINTR in the pure perl backend (analysed and testcase
142 by Bas Denissen).
143 - give same examples in SYNOPSIS sections of AnyEvent and AE.
144 - provider faster implementations for AE::time/now/now_update for
145 EV and Perl backends.
146 - provide faster AE::cv and AE::time implementations for all
147 backends.
148 - no longer support lower/mixed-case signal names (this was
149 never documented nor universally supported).
150 - some more memory ยต-optimisations, and somewhat less messy
151 code to cope with both AnyEvent and AE APIs.
152
1535.251 Sat Mar 13 00:58:21 CET 2010
154 - make test failed if it was run before make install on perl <=
155 5.8.8, and older versions of perl make our live very difficult,
156 so write constants.pl during Makefile.PL time.
157
1585.25 Sat Mar 13 00:23:14 CET 2010
159 - fix a race condition in AnyEvent::Handle that would cause
160 a "bio_read: unsupported method" error (in _another_
161 ssl connection) after user code threw an exception.
162 - added AnyEvent::Handle->destroyed method.
3 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6. 163 - speed up AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and ::format_ipv6.
4 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only 164 - the AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking function worked only
5 by lucky accident on win32. 165 by lucky accident on win32.
6 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking. 166 - smaller and faster AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking.
167 - when the (required!) Time::HiRes module is missing, AnyEvent
168 did not fall back to built-in time properly.
169 - do not load Fcntl at runtime, saving memory and loading time.
170 - precompile a number of constants and use them instead of runtime
171 detection and eval.
172 - free detection code after detection and similar memory optimisations.
173 - Perl backend timer interval best effort drift has been improved
174 (same algorithm as EV).
175 - update unicode idna mapping table.

9 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives 178 - cygwin never reports errors from failed connects. 1.5 just gives
10 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and 179 you continous readyness and EAGAIN, 1.7 is even more broken and
11 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack. 180 just hangs. work around both issues in a cygwin-specific hack.
