17 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 and there seems to be
18 no way to work around it, as POE itself is inherently racy. Document this
19 regression and sleep a second in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time
20 being.
21 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
22 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
23 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
24 - load /etc/hosts only when dns fails has no answer.
25 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
26 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
27 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
28 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
29 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
30 - made log messages genearted by AnyEvent submodules not
31 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
32 by default already.
33 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
34 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
35 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
36 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
37 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
38 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
39 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.

42 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
43 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
44
456.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
46 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
47 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
48 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
49 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
50 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
51 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
52
536.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
54 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
55 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
56
576.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
58 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
59 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
60 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
61 backtraces.
62 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.

13 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal. 68 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
69 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
70 how that module sucks.
14 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally 71 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally

17 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level. 74 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
75 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
76 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
18 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular 77 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
19 intervals. 78 intervals.
20 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded. 79 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
21 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx. 80 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
81 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
82 delivery.
22 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial. 83 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
84 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
85 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
86 of the context as title.
87 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
88 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
23 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse 89 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
