33.51
4 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
5 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
6 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
7 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
8 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
9 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
10 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
11 become writable untill empty.
12 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
13 returns ENOTCONN.
14 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
15 override.

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