15 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see

18 in your programs, for future compatibility. 20 in your programs, for future compatibility.
21 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
22 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
23 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
24 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
25 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
26 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
27 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
28 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
29 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
30 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
31 a debug shell.
32 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
33 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
34 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
35 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback.
36 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
37 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
19 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl 38 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
20 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl). 39 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).

24 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async 43 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
25 and (newly introduced) in POE. 44 and (newly introduced) in POE.
26 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations, 45 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
27 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde). 46 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
28 - add support for (currently third-party) AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK. 47 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.

31 (reported by Gerald Galster). 50 (reported by Gerald Galster).
32 - resolve AnyEvent::Util::guard at first-use-time, not at load time,
33 for further speed and memory savings when not used.
34 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable 51 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
35 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that 52 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
36 do not support blocking waits. 53 do not support blocking waits.
54 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
55 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
56 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
57 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
58 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
59 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
60 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
61 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
62 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.

39 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time, 67 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
40 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti). 68 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
