7 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
8 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.

106.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
11 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
12 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
13
146.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
15 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
16 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
17 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
18 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
19 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
20 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
21
226.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
23 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
24 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
25
266.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
27 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
28 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
29 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
30 backtraces.
31 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
32
336.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
34 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
35 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
36 to higher log levels to print by default.
37 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
38 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
39 how that module sucks.
40 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
41 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
42 of 127.0.0.1).
43 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
44 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
45 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
46 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
47 intervals.
48 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
49 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
50 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
51 delivery.
52 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
53 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
54 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
55 of the context as title.
56 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
57 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
58 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
59 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
60 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
61 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
62 AnyEvent.
63
646.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
65 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
66 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
67 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
68 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
69 to work around.
70 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.

8 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve directly, 74 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request

10 such as AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither 76 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
11 is AnyEvent::Socket. 77 AnyEvent::Socket.
12 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement 78 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
13 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll 79 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
14 methods. 80 methods.
