5TODO: ae::log examples 166.2
6TODO: ae::now vs. ae::time - make configurable? 17 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
76.01 18 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
19 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
20 - load /etc/hosts only when dns fails has no answer.
21 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
22 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
23 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
24 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
25 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
26 - made log messages genearted by AnyEvent submodules not
27 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
28 by default already.
29 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
30 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
31 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
32 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
33 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
34 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
35 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
36
376.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
38 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
39 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
40
416.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
42 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
43 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
44 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
45 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
46 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
47 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
48
496.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
50 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
51 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
52
536.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
54 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
55 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
56 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
57 backtraces.
58 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
59
606.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
61 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
62 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
63 to higher log levels to print by default.
64 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
65 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
66 how that module sucks.
67 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
68 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
69 of 127.0.0.1).
70 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
71 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
72 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
73 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
74 intervals.
75 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
76 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
77 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
78 delivery.
79 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
80 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
81 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
82 of the context as title.
83 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
84 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
85 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
86 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
87 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
88 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
89 AnyEvent.
90
916.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
92 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
93 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
94 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
95 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
96 to work around.
97 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.

9 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request 101 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
10 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as 102 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
