No go. Tk + Event? No go. Again: if +TOOD: stop internals abusing + - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "3" (critical + and above), and some emssages inside AnyEvent have bene elevated + to critical, so. + - add google public ipv6 dns as flalback servers, so AE::DNS can finally + support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead + of 127.0.0.1). + - give guidelines on how to chose a logging level. + - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular + intervals. + - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx. + - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial. + +6.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011 + - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings. + - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level" + *literally* means that string. sheesh. + - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try + to work around. + - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK. + +6.01 Fri Aug 26 07:04:11 CEST 2011 + - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::DNS resource records now include + the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request + and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as + AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is + AnyEvent::Socket. + - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement + one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll + methods. + - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see + AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details. + - DEPRECIATION: please change + "use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl" to "use AnyEvent::Loop" and + "AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop" to "AnyEvent::Loop::run" + in your programs, for future compatibility. + - *blush* idle watcher emulation was borked. + - AnyEvent::Strict now checks the AE::xxx functions as well. + - querying too long domain names would barf deep inside AnyEvent::DNS - since + this is hard to avoid for applications, AnyEvent:.DNS::request now checks for + for too long domain names explicitly and passes an undef to the callback + instead (reported by James Bromberger). + - make AnyEvent::Util more robust against EINTR (analyzed by Andrew Suffield). + - new functions: AnyEvent::postpone, AnyEvent::log. + - new module: AnyEvent::Log, for simple logging needs. + - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG, for fine-grained logging config. + - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL, to automatically start + a debug shell. + - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP, to automatically enable + watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see AnyEvent::Debug::wrap). + - new env variable, PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS, to override the place where + F can be found. + - an empty PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF now selects the default + configuration. + - env variables can now be specified using AE_xyz instead of + PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz, subject to some rules. + - lots of new AnyEvent::Debug functionality. + - AnyEvent::Strict now checks for modifications $_ by the callback + (by setting it to readonly while executing the callback, if possible). + - IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer. + Invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour. + - split the pure perl backend into a loop module and an impl + module (AnyEvent::Loop and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl). + - some read types (regex, netstring, json, storable) could + errornously keep an AE::Handle object alive on their own + (reported by Mohammad Toossi). + - AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr and all functions using it now + supports /etc/hosts overrides. + - add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in IO::Async + and (newly introduced) in POE. + - use glib child watchers and try to work around its limitations, + if possible (based on a patch by Kevin Ryde). + - add support for FLTK (fltk2), via AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2. + - many read types in AnyEvent::Handle would malfunction during + transitions to TLS because of a "delete $self->{rbuf}". + (reported by Gerald Galster). + - improve condvar blocking wait performance (probably only noticable + with faster backends), also make it easier for event loops that + do not support blocking waits. + - PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL now also allows full module names, although + the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear. + - add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS. + - add t/80_ssltext.t. + - no longer use AUTOLOAD for the initial loading (for no very good reason). + - tcp_server now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed. + - do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached + copies of AnyEvent::detect. + - parse_hostport now accepts absolute paths als unix domain sockets. + - suppress the idiotic warning inside POE by patching the POE::Kernel + run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions. + - add Task::Weaken as dependency (as recommends only at this time). + - replace PF_UNSPEC by 0, for good old minix. + +6.0 (not officially released, but was on CPAN for about 15 minutes :/) + +5.34 Thu May 12 09:59:41 CEST 2011 + - AE::TLS didn't support both cert_file and key at the same time, + due to some copy&paste bug (reported and analyzed by vti). + - improve AE::Handle timeout documentation slightly. + +5.33 Mon Feb 7 21:51:41 CET 2011 + - never appeared on CPAN, for unknown reasons. + - AnyEvent::Handle on_connect_error - do not try to destroy a handle + object when it's already gone (analyzed by Ryan Bullock). + - update idna algorithm(s) to UTS#46 version 6.0.0. + - preserve trailing dot in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to preserve, + uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense. + - remove leading dots in idn_to_ascii - testsuite says to remove, + uts46 says it's an error, and testsuite makes more sense. + - fixed a bug in idn ignored character processing. + - passes the uts46 6.0.0 testsuite except for three cases which + apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself. + - passes the uts46 6.0.1 testsuite except for eleven cases which + apparently are bugs in the testsuite itself. + +5.31 Sun Jan 23 11:49:19 CET 2011 + - work around a POE bug where POE would first poll for new events and + invoke handlers BEFORE handling the message queue. + - fix parsing of "domain" statement in resolv.conf (Johannes Plunien). + - stop_read now does just that in TLS mode. see its + documentation for caveats. + - update to common::sense 3.4 warning set (some warnings in perl impose + an arbitrary 32kb limit on regex matches, which affects + AnyEvent::Handle). + - AE::Handle had a broken rbuf_max method and missing wbuf_max method. + - new experimental AE::Handle::resettls method. + +5.3 Fri Dec 31 05:48:13 CET 2010 - major IOAsync patch by Paul Evans - 0.33 is required, as the major issues with IO::Async have been solved in that version, including the availabilty of a default loop! + - implement new wbuf_max parameter for AnyEvent::Handle. + - added Cocoa::EventLoop backend by Daisuke Murase. - the default testsuite now honors PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL (Paul Evans). + - clarify handle on_prepare documentation. - set CLOEXEC flag on parent-side fd's in AnyEvent::Util::run_cmd, to avoid leaking them to any child processes. - try to force files into the arch-dependend lib directory, for the
