7 | and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated |
| 11 | TODO: wrap |
8 | to higher log levels to print by default. |
| 12 | TODO: shell on env |
9 | - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal. |
| 13 | TODO: FLTK docs |
10 | - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My |
|
|
11 | how that module sucks. |
|
|
12 | - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally |
|
|
13 | support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead |
|
|
14 | of 127.0.0.1). |
|
|
15 | - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level. |
|
|
16 | - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context. |
|
|
17 | - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to. |
|
|
18 | - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular |
|
|
19 | intervals. |
|
|
20 | - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded. |
|
|
21 | - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx, |
|
|
22 | which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal |
|
|
23 | delivery. |
|
|
24 | - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial. |
|
|
25 | - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY. |
|
|
26 | - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name |
|
|
27 | of the context as title. |
|
|
28 | - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback |
|
|
29 | died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging... |
|
|
30 | - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse |
|
|
31 | to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses |
|
|
32 | to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively |
|
|
33 | attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use |
|
|
34 | AnyEvent. |

|
|
37 | - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings. |
|
|
38 | - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level" |
|
|
39 | *literally* means that string. sheesh. |
|
|
40 | - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try |
|
|
41 | to work around. |
|
|
42 | - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK. |
