3 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
4 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
5 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
6 the different event loops with each other.
7 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
8 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
9 - make Qt support non-experimental.
10 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
11 kept alive.
12 - document the race between loading of an event module and
13 child processes exiting.
14 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
15 enough, and darn slow).
16 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
17 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and to be roughly
18 2-3 times faster in the common case of sparsely-active file
19 descriptors. It can now compete with select/poll-based C event
20 loops in most cases (it is usually faster than Event and Glib :).
21 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and icrease its speed by 30%,
22 by removing undocumented functionality.

25 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
26 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
27 for the same fh/poll combo).
28 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
29 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
30 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
31 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
32 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
