12 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
13 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve directly,
14 and ->request and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions
15 such as AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither
16 is AnyEvent::Socket.
17 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
18 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
19 methods.
20 - DEPRECIATION: please change
21 "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and
22 "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run"
23 in your programs, for future compatibility.
24 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
25 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
26 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
27 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
28 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
29 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
30 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
31 - new function: AnyEvent::postpone.
32 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
33 a debug shell.
34 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
35 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
36 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
37 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
38 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
39 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
40 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
41 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
42 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
43 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
44 and (newly introduced) in POE.
45 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
46 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
47 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
48 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
49 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
50 (reported by Gerald Galster).
51 - resolve AnyEvent::Util::guard at first-use-time, not at load time,
52 for further speed and memory savings when not used.
53 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
54 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
55 do not support blocking waits.
56 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
57 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
58 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
59 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
60 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
61 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
62
635.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011
64 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
65 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
66 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
67
685.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011
69 - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons.
70 - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle
71 object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock).
72 - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0.
73 - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve,
74 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
75 - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove,
76 uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense.
77 - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing.
78 - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which
79 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
80 - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which
81 apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself.
82
835.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011
84 - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and
85 invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue.
86 - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien).
87 - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its
88 documentation for caveats.
89 - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose
90 an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects
91 AnyEvent::Handle).
92 - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method.
93 - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method.
94
955.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010
96 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major
97 issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including
98 the availabilty of a default loop!
99 - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle.
100 - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase.
101 - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans).
102 - clarify handle on_prepare documentation.
103 - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd,
104 to avoid leaking them to any child processes.
105 - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
106 half-"turly obsessive compulsive person"(s) that depend on it.

9 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API. 109 - convert EV backend to EV 4.00 API (so better upgrade EV too).
10 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add 110 - AE::Handle: implement dynamic read_size adjustment, add
11 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048. 111 max_read_size parameter, reduce default read_size to 2048.
112 - add some FAQ entries for servers and/or on_eof vs. on_error.
12 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle. 113 - work around OS bugs (cygwin again) when lingering in AE::Handle.
13 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle. 114 - reduce memory usage slightly when connect was used in AE::Handle.
115 - wrok around more segfaults in Tk.
14 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid. 116 - document tls_ctx => undef as valid.
117 - detect WNOHANG value at compiletime.
118 - include some probably linux-only support for building AnyEvent
119 as part of the perl core.
120 - improve compatibility of t/08_idna.t to perl 5.8.
121 - make AnyEvent::Strict truly optional (in case somebody builds a
122 minimal perl...).
