8TODO: IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer -wait for IO::Async release. 107
9TODO: parse_unix??? 11 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
10TODO: logging? 12 versions) and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
11TODO: check wrap for leaks - check Carp::longmess for leaks, or rather, how to avoid them 13 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and add a delay
14 in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
15 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
16 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
17 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
18 - load /etc/hosts only when DNS has no answer.
19 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
20 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
21 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
22 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
23 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
24 returns.
25 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
26 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
27 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
28 - made log messages genearted by AnyEvent submodules not
29 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
30 by default already.
31 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
32 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
33 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
34 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
35 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
36 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
37 - work around a bug in openssl 1.0.1 which enforces a minimum rsa
38 keysize (reported by Paul Howarth).
39 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.

136.01 416.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
42 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
43 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
14 44
156.0 (not officially released) 456.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
46 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
47 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
48 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
49 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
50 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
51 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
52
536.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
54 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
55 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
56
576.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
58 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
59 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
60 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
61 backtraces.
62 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
63
646.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
65 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
66 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
67 to higher log levels to print by default.
68 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
69 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
70 how that module sucks.
71 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
72 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
73 of 127.0.0.1).
74 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
75 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
76 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
77 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
78 intervals.
79 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
80 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
81 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
82 delivery.
83 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
84 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
85 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
86 of the context as title.
87 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
88 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
89 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
90 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
91 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
92 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
93 AnyEvent.
94
956.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
96 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
97 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
98 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
99 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
100 to work around.
101 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.

23 methods. 111 methods.
112 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
113 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
