33.51
4 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
5 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
6 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
7 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
8 become writable untill empty.
9 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
10 returns ENOTCONN.
11 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
12 override.

143.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
15 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
16 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
17 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
18 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
19 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
20 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
21 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
22 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
23 first and second argument.
24 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
25 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
26 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
27 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
28 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
29
303.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
31 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
32
333.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
34 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
35 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
36 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
37 (still subject to change).
38 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
39 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
40 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
41 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
42 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
43 via Coro::AnyEvent.
44
453.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
46 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
47 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
48 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
49 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
50 the different event loops with each other.
51 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
52 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
53 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
54 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
55 kept alive.
56 - document the race between loading of an event module and
57 child processes exiting.
58 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
59 enough, and darn slow).
60 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
61 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
62 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
63 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
64 faster than Event and Glib :).
65 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
66 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
67 to other event loops where possible.
68
693.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
70 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
71 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
72 for the same fh/poll combo).
73 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
74 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
75 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
76 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
77 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
78
793.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
80 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
81 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
82 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
83 - use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
84 better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
85 - do not send the signal to the process group
86 (no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
87
883.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
89 - major documentation rework.
90 - document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
91 - fix the child watcher example.

33.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008 933.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
4 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the 94 - work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
5 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently 95 only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
6 don't get fixed anytime soon). 96 don't get fixed anytime soon).
