12 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include 8 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include
13 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve directly, 9 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
14 and ->request and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions 10 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
15 such as AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected. 11 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
12 AnyEvent::Socket.

18 methods. 15 methods.
16 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
17 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.

22 in your programs, for future compatibility. 21 in your programs, for future compatibility.
22 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
23 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.
24 - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since
25 this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for
26 for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback
27 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
28 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
23 - new function: AnyEvent::postpone. 29 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
30 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
31 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start
32 a debug shell.
33 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable
34 watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap).
35 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
36 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
37 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
38 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
39 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
24 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl 40 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
25 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl). 41 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
26 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could 42 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could
27 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own 43 errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own
28 (reported by Mohammad Toossi). 44 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
29 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async 45 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
30 and (newly introduced) in POE. 46 and (newly introduced) in POE.
31 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations, 47 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
32 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde). 48 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
33 - add support for (currently third-party) AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK. 49 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
34 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during 50 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
35 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}". 51 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
36 (reported by Gerald Galster). 52 (reported by Gerald Galster).
37 - resolve AnyEvent::Util::guard at first-use-time, not at load time,
38 for further speed and memory savings when not used.
39 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable 53 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
40 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that 54 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
41 do not support blocking waits. 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 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
63 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
64 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.

44 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time, 69 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
45 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti). 70 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
46 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly. 71 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
