|
4 | - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API |
|
|
5 | (still subject to change). |
|
|
6 | - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl. |
|
|
7 | - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which |
|
|
8 | allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection. |
|
|
9 | (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example). |
|
|
10 | - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent |
|
|
11 | via Coro::AnyEvent. |
