16 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
17 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
18 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
19 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
20 to work around.
21 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.

10 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include 24 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
11 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve directly, 25 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
12 and ->request and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions 26 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
13 such as AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected. 27 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
28 AnyEvent::Socket.
14 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement 29 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
15 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll 30 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
16 methods. 31 methods.
32 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
33 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
17 - DEPRECIATION: please change 34 - DEPRECIATION: please change
18 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and 35 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
19 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run" 36 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
20 in your programs, for future compatibility. 37 in your programs, for future compatibility.
38 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
39 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
40 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
41 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
42 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
43 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
44 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
21 - new function: AnyEvent::postpone. 45 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
46 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
47 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
48 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
49 a debug shell.
50 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
51 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
52 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
53 F</etc/hosts> can be found.
54 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
55 configuration.
56 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
57 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
58 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
59 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
60 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
61 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
62 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
22 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl 63 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
23 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl). 64 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
24 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could 65 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
25 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own 66 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
26 (reported by Mohammad Toossi). 67 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
68 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
69 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
27 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async 70 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
28 and (newly introduced) in POE. 71 and (newly introduced) in POE.
29 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations, 72 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
30 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde). 73 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
31 - add support for (currently third-party) AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK. 74 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
32 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during 75 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
33 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}". 76 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
34 (reported by Gerald Galster). 77 (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 78 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
38 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that 79 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
39 do not support blocking waits. 80 do not support blocking waits.
81 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
82 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
83 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
84 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
85 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
86 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
87 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
88 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
89 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
90 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
91 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
92 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
93 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.

42 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time, 98 - 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). 99 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
44 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly. 100 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
