8TODO: redesign Impl 17 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
9TODO: make ae::run mroe robust against eintr, Andrew Suffield 18 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
10TODO: IO::Async sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call cancel_timer -wait for IO::Async release. 19 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
11TODO: wrap 20 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
12TODO: shell on env 21 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
13TODO: FLTK docs 22 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
23 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
24 - made log messages genearted by AnyEvent submodules not
25 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
26 by default already.
27 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
28 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
29 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
30 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
31
326.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
33 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
34 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
35
366.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
37 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
38 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
39 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
40 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
41 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
42 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
43
446.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
45 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
46 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
47
486.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
49 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
50 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
51 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
52 backtraces.
53 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
54
556.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
56 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
57 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
58 to higher log levels to print by default.
59 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
60 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
61 how that module sucks.
62 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
63 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
64 of 127.0.0.1).
65 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
66 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
67 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
68 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
69 intervals.
70 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
71 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
72 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
73 delivery.
74 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
75 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
76 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
77 of the context as title.
78 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
79 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
80 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
81 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
82 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
83 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
84 AnyEvent.
85
866.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
87 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
88 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
89 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
90 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
91 to work around.
92 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.

15 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve directly, 96 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
16 and ->request and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions 97 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
17 such as AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected. 98 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
99 AnyEvent::Socket.
18 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement 100 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: backend authors now should not implement
19 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll 101 one_event or loop, but instead the AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait and _poll
20 methods. 102 methods.
103 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: verbosity levels have been redefined, see
104 AnyEvent (PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE) and AnyEvent::Log for details.
