9TODO: make ae::run mroe robust against eintr, Andrew Suffield 17 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
10TODO: IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer -wait for IO::Async release. 18 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
11TODO: wrap 19 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
12TODO: shell on env 20 - made log messages genearted by AnyEvent submodules not
13TODO: parse_unix??? 21 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
14TODO: debug shell pid? 22 by default already.
23 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
24 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
25 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
26 sentences and do no longer include the package name.

286.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
29 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
30 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
31
326.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
33 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
34 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
35 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
36 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
37 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
38 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
39
406.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
41 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
42 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
43
446.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
45 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
46 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
47 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
48 backtraces.
49 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
50
516.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
52 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
53 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
54 to higher log levels to print by default.
55 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
56 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
57 how that module sucks.
58 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
59 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
60 of 127.0.0.1).
61 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
62 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
63 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
64 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
65 intervals.
66 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
67 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
68 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
69 delivery.
70 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
71 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
72 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
73 of the context as title.
74 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
75 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
76 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
77 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
78 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
79 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
80 AnyEvent.
81
826.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
83 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
84 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
85 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
86 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
87 to work around.
88 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.

18 such as AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected. 94 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is

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