5TODO: ae::log examples 176.2
6TODO: ae::now vs. ae::time - make configurable? 18 - child watchers are broken in POE 1.352 (also many earlier
76.01 19 versions)and there seems to be no way to work around it, as POE
20 itself is inherently racy. Document this regression and sleep a
21 second in t/68_poe_03_child.t for the time being.
22 - new module AnyEvent::IO, that is a frontend to either a pure-perl
23 synchronous I/O implementation (AnyEvent::IO::Perl), or to the
24 asynchronous I/O extension IO::AIO (AnyEvent::IO::IOAIO).
25 - load /etc/hosts only when dns fails has no answer.
26 - stat /etc/hosts on every access and reload it if it changed.
27 - load /etc/hosts via AnyEvent::IO - potentially asynchronous.
28 - AnyEvent::Log log_to_file and log_to_path now use AnyEvent::IO. As
29 a side effect, they now use true appending as opposed to libc
30 appending, and the file might not have been opened when the function
31 returns.
32 - the default logging level was not properly documented in a variety of
33 places, this has hopefully been rectified.
34 - updated uts46data.pl for unicode 6.1.0.
35 - made log messages genearted by AnyEvent submodules not
36 include the package name anymore, as it will be logged
37 by default already.
38 - upgrade to the trick used by common-sense 3.5 to work
39 around extra warning torture/breakage under perl 5.15.x.
40 - log messages by anyevent are now ucfirst, are usually full
41 sentences and do no longer include the package name.
42 - the storable read type would sometimes throw an exception instead
43 of causing EBADMSG (analyzed by Maxime Soulé).
44 - documented Rocco fabricating statements about AnyEvent and me.
45
466.14 Tue Jan 31 20:00:24 CET 2012
47 - AnyEvent::Impl::Tk was broken due to a mysterious "die" inside,
48 probably an editing mistake (reported by Darin McBride).
49
506.13 Thu Jan 12 07:27:01 CET 2012
51 - AnyEvent::Util::fork_call checked for POSIX availability in the wrong way,
52 causing it to fail if POSIX wasn't loaded already (analysed by Rock Power).
53 - AnyEvent::Handle::push_read (line => did pass $1 directly, so
54 regex-matching inside the callback would change the parameter, despite
55 $1 being dynamically scoped per-block. this perl bug is now being
56 worked around (testcase by Cindy Wang).
57
586.12 Mon Dec 12 13:21:10 CET 2011
59 - $! was clobbered by subsequent calls in tcp_connect, due to
60 the postpone not saving/restoring it (analyzed by Richard Garnish).
61
626.11 Tue Nov 22 10:36:05 CET 2011
63 - Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so
64 set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow. How dummy.
65 - escape any nonprintable/nonascii characters when stringifying
66 backtraces.
67 - log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug.
68
696.1 Tue Oct 4 19:44:30 CEST 2011
70 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the default log level is now "4" (error
71 and above), and some messages inside AnyEvent have been elevated
72 to higher log levels to print by default.
73 - AnyEvent::log, unlike AnyEvent::Log::log, did not always exit on fatal.
74 - work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by POE. My
75 how that module sucks.
76 - add google public ipv6 dns as fallback servers, so AE::DNS can finally
77 support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use ::1 instead
78 of 127.0.0.1).
79 - give better guidelines on how to chose a logging level.
80 - AnyEvent::Log can now cap (limit) log message priority by context.
81 - AE::log will now save and restore $! and $@, so callers don't have to.
82 - AE::Strict now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular
83 intervals.
84 - skip frequently called 'require' calls if the module appears loaded.
85 - increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little osx,
86 which can't be bothered with basic posix functionality such as signal
87 delivery.
88 - mention some debugging aids in the tutorial.
89 - new env variable PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY.
90 - private (%namespace) log contexts in PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG now have the name
91 of the context as title.
92 - AnyEvent::Strict would not restore read-write access to $_ when a callback
93 died - this is a user bug, but since AE::Strict exists to help dbeugging...
94 - detect the extremely evil IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent module and refuse
95 to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses
96 to fix them. This extreme step has been taken because the module actively
97 attacks the goals of AnyEvent and makes it harder for module authors to use
98 AnyEvent.
99
1006.02 Fri Aug 26 20:08:31 CEST 2011
101 - log_to_syslog now accepts facility strings.
102 - log_to_syslog would not allow facilities - "$facility|$level"
103 *literally* means that string. sheesh.
104 - the CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide Sys::Syslog, try
105 to work around.
106 - renamed AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2 to FLTK.

9 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request 110 the TTL as fourth element - this affects ->resolve, ->request
10 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as 111 and ->dns_unpack indirectly. Convenience functions such as
11 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is 112 AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv} are not affected, neither is
