11 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve directly, 7 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
12 and ->request and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions 8 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
13 such as AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected. 9 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is

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

20 - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked.
21 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well.

24 instead (reported by James Bromberger). 25 instead (reported by James Bromberger).
26 - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield).
25 - new function: AnyEvent::postpone. 27 - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log.
28 - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs.
29 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config.
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 - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where
35 F</etc/hosts> can be found.
36 - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default
37 configuration.
38 - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of
39 PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules.
40 - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality.
41 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback
42 (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible).
43 - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer.
44 Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour.
26 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl 45 - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl
27 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl). 46 module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl).
28 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could 47 - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could

30 (reported by Mohammad Toossi). 49 (reported by Mohammad Toossi).
50 - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now
51 supports /etc/hosts overrides.
31 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async 52 - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async
32 and (newly introduced) in POE. 53 and (newly introduced) in POE.
33 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations, 54 - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations,
34 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde). 55 if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde).
35 - add support for (currently third-party) AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK. 56 - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2.
36 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during 57 - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during
37 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}". 58 transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}".
38 (reported by Gerald Galster). 59 (reported by Gerald Galster).
39 - resolve AnyEvent::Util::guard at first-use-time, not at load time,
40 for further speed and memory savings when not used.
41 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable 60 - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable
42 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that 61 with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that
43 do not support blocking waits. 62 do not support blocking waits.
63 - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although
64 the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear.
65 - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS.
66 - add t/80_ssltext.t.
67 - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason).
68 - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed.
69 - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached
70 copies of AnyEvent::detect.
71 - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets.
72 - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel
73 run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions.
74 - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time).
75 - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix.

46 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time, 80 - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time,
47 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti). 81 due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti).
48 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly. 82 - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly.
