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

20 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
21 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
22 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
23 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
24 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
25 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
26 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
27 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
28 first and second argument.
29 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
30 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
31 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
32 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
33 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
34
353.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
36 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
37
383.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
39 - complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
40 API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
41 - AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
42 (still subject to change).
43 - take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
44 - provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
45 allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
46 (used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
47 - remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
48 via Coro::AnyEvent.

503.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
51 - added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
52 - fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
53 when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
54 - add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
55 the different event loops with each other.
56 - prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
57 but doesn't crash with many watchers.
58 - declare Qt support non-experimental.
59 - clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
60 kept alive.
61 - document the race between loading of an event module and
62 child processes exiting.
63 - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
64 enough, and darn slow).
65 - support Wx and Prima through POE.
66 - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
67 of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
68 select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
69 faster than Event and Glib :).
70 - roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
71 by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
72 to other event loops where possible.
73
743.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
75 - do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
76 in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
77 for the same fh/poll combo).
78 - support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
79 - implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
80 - (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
81 - (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
82 - this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.

4 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow. 85 - reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
5 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate, 86 - do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
6 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue. 87 strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
