17 - uts46data.pl couldn't be found due to wrong naming of the file
18 (reported by Fulko Hew).
19 - AnyEvent::Debug shell can now run coro shell commands, if
20 available.
21 - t/63* tests were wrongly in MANIFEST.
22 - mention IO::AIO as optional dependency.
23 - kernel.org's finger server went MIA, switch to freebsd.org and icculus.org.
24
257.04 Thu Nov 15 02:23:58 CET 2012
26 - debugging code left in.
27
287.03 Thu Nov 15 02:16:11 CET 2012
29 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton did not work when dns resolution was
30 used to find the addresses (analyzed and patch by Maxime Soulé).
31 - fix a memory leak in the /etc/hosts lookup code when hosts don't
32 resolve and are not in hosts (analyzed by sten).
33
347.02 Tue Aug 14 04:27:58 CEST 2012
35 - AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd could block indefinitely (analyzed and test
36 program by Yorhel).
37 - verified that AnyEvent::Socket follows RFC5952.
38 - try to parse "ADDR#PORT" in addition to "ADDR PORT".
39
407.01 Sun May 13 01:03:17 CEST 2012
41 - fail with EPROTO in AnyEvent::Handle wqhen TLS is requested but
42 not available, instead of throwing an exception.
43 - use File::Spec to get the tmpdir in t/*, to avoid needless
44 failures on (most, not mine :) windows boxes.
45 - new handle read types: tls_detect and tls_autostart.
46
477.0 Fri Apr 13 06:33:30 CEST 2012
48 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
49 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
50 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
51 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
52 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
53 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
54 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
55 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
56 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
57 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
58 - fix a buggy croak in the dh parameter reading in AnyEvent::TLS.
59 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
60 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
61 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
62 returns.
63 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
64 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
65 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
66 - made log messages generated by AnyEvent submodules not
67 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
68 by default already.
69 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
70 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
71 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
72 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
73 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
74 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
75 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
76 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
77 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
78
796.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
80 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
81 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
82
836.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
84 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
85 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
86 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
87 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
88 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
89 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
90
916.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
92 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
93 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
94
956.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
96 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
97 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
98 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
99 backtraces.
100 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
101
1026.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
103 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
104 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
105 to higher log levels to print by default.
106 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
107 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
108 how that module sucks.
109 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
110 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
111 of 127.0.0.1).
112 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
113 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
114 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
115 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
116 intervals.
117 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
118 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
119 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
120 delivery.
121 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
122 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
123 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
124 of the context as title.
125 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
126 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
127 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
128 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
129 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
130 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
131 AnyEvent.
132
1336.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
134 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
135 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
136 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
137 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
138 to work around.
139 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.

18 such as AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected. 145 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
146 AnyEvent::Socket.
19 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement 147 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
20 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll 148 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
21 methods. 149 methods.

151 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
