4	(poe makes their own "anyevent", unfortunately).	4	- added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
		5	- added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
		6	- added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
		7	- make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
		8	- make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
		9	- overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
		10	- support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
		11	verbatim ip addresses.
		12	- AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
		13	- try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
		14	- make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
		15	- support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
		16	- work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
		17	become writable untill empty.
		18	- only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
		19	returns ENOTCONN.
		20	- defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP brutal
		21	override.
		22	- new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.

6	2.55	24	3.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
		25	- gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
		26	(as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
		27	- added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
		28	helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
		29	- added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
		30	- added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
		31	- AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
		32	- fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
		33	first and second argument.
		34	- simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
		35	- fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
		36	- considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
		37	cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
		38	and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
		39
		40	3.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
		41	- work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
		42
		43	3.4 Sun May 11 00:29:25 CEST 2008
		44	- complete re-implementation of condvars with a hopefully much mroe useful
		45	API (backward compatible functions exist but are undocumented).
		46	- AnyEvent::Handle fully rewritten with a hopefully more powerful API
		47	(still subject to change).
		48	- take advantage of CLOCK_MONOTONIC, if available, in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
		49	- provide AnyEvent::post_detect and @AnyEvent::post_detect, which
		50	allows module authors to avoid forcing event loop detection.
		51	(used by Coro::AIO, Coro::BDB, Coro::AnyEvent for example).
		52	- remove coro backends: Coro now provides generic support for AnyEvent
		53	via Coro::AnyEvent.
		54
		55	3.3 Mon Apr 28 09:51:06 CEST 2008
		56	- added AnyEvent::Handle, AnyEvent::Socket and AnyEvent::Util modules.
		57	- fix a bug in the pure perl backend that kept watchers alive
		58	when multiple watchers were registered for the same fh/poll combo.
		59	- add a benchmark section showing AnyEvent overhead and comparing
		60	the different event loops with each other.
		61	- prefer pure perl over tk when autoprobing, as it's about as fast,
		62	but doesn't crash with many watchers.
		63	- declare Qt support non-experimental.
		64	- clarify the confusing section about the file descriptor being
		65	kept alive.
		66	- document the race between loading of an event module and
		67	child processes exiting.
		68	- support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
		69	enough, and darn slow).
		70	- support Wx and Prima through POE.
		71	- optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and take advantage
		72	of typical timeout behaviour. It can now compete with
		73	select/poll-based C event loops in most cases (it is usually
		74	faster than Event and Glib :).
		75	- roughly cut EV memory use in half and increase its speed by 30%,
		76	by removing undocumented functionality. Did something similar
		77	to other event loops where possible.
		78
		79	3.2 Thu Apr 24 10:10:40 CEST 2008
		80	- do not die when anyevent watchers are destroyed while running callbacks
		81	in the pureperl backend (could only happen when two watchers are registered
		82	for the same fh/poll combo).
		83	- support autoloading for child watchers, was broken in all versions.
		84	- implement PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL env variable.
		85	- (experimental) implement interface to the (very crashy/buggy) Event::Lib module.
		86	- (experimental) implement interface to the Qt module (cannot be autoprobed).
		87	- this release is IO:AnyEvent-proof.
		88
		89	3.12 Tue Apr 22 07:11:46 CEST 2008
		90	- reinstate AUTHOR section that got lost somehow.
		91	- do not hang in the testsuite with badly broken perls (activestate,
		92	strawberry...), but instead diagnose the problem and continue.
		93	- use INT instead of CHLD in an attempt to support broken windows perls
		94	better (this decreases the test quality, unfortunately).
		95	- do not send the signal to the process group
		96	(no problem for CHLD, bad for INT :).
		97
		98	3.11 Sat Apr 19 06:57:31 CEST 2008
		99	- major documentation rework.
		100	- document the fact that child watchers only watch for zombies.
		101	- fix the child watcher example.
		102
		103	3.1 Wed Apr 16 17:09:01 CEST 2008
		104	- work around recurring bugs in Tk by dup'ing filehandles, the
		105	only method with good success chances on Tk (the bugs apparently
		106	don't get fixed anytime soon).
		107	- lift the restriction of only one watcher per fh direction
		108	(as the Tk bug workaround also lifts it and only Tk imposed
		109	such strong limits).
		110	- changed probe order to prefer coro adaptors.
		111	- explain why recursion into the event loop is not supported
		112	unless the backend supports it (only Coro::EV does without
		113	any restrictions...).
		114	- add simple manpages for all backend modules.
		115
		116	3.0 Mon Apr 7 21:30:23 CEST 2008
		117	- Coro::Signal changed semantics, roll our own, also cleaning
		118	up the Coro implementation in general.
		119	- rename Coro backend to CoroEvent.
		120	- add some decision helping paragraph to the manpage that should
		121	help people to decide whether AnyEvent is the right thing for them.
		122
		123	2.9 Mon Jan 28 13:31:54 CET 2008
		124	- update for EV 3.0 API changes.
		125
		126	2.8 Sun Nov 25 15:06:03 CET 2007
		127	- waitpid can validly return 0. accept this fact of life
		128	instead of reporting it to any watchers.
		129
		130	2.7 Fri Nov 23 11:41:14 CET 2007
		131	- force use of AnyEvent::Impl::Perl in testsuite, there is
		132	too much breakage outside AnyEvent.
		133	- deliver signals synchronously in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl
		134	or any other event loop that relies on AnyEvents child
		135	watcher emulation. Could help with hanging testsuite
		136	(except when Event or EV are installed).
		137
		138	2.6 Fri Nov 9 20:36:35 CET 2007
		139	- fix bug in testsuite.
		140	- move EV adaptor modules to AnyEvent.
		141	- add Coro+EV adaptor module.
